Just finished Locke & Key, really enjoyable. Definitely got a Stranger Things vibe about it, especially near the end, but a very enjoyable series.
Yes, this was a hit in our house with the kids.
Thought it was ok, can definitely see kids enjoying it more, quite a Jumanji vibe about it

Comparing to Stranger Things is a stretch imo the former being excellent and L&K merely being ok

Not out yet and the trailer text just says coming soon, Transformers - War For Cybertron. Set as a prequel to THE Transformers movie, It's the G1 transformers models, not the Michael Bay ones. Animation looks like it's cel shaded CG.

Narcos (Mexico) Season 2 - excellent, enough said.
This.

The original Narcos series was absolutely superb.

Just started watching Narcos Mexico and it is just as good. Fantastic.

Thanks, thats really helpful

I started with Porco Rosso which I really enjoyed,
then Tales from Earthsea- a little long winded
Only Yesterday- If the theme of this was in a film I'd of avoided it but somehow its different when animated
Laputa: Castle in the Sky- This and Porco Rosso are my favourites so far

Laputa is really good. I'm going to repeat myself and say When Marnie Was There. Dusty.

Just like that guide, I rate Princess Mononoke as the best. Its a really great film. Porco Rosso is one of my favorites also.

I haven't seen all the ones on the list but of those I have seen I would rate it number 2, behind spirited away (and surprised the Guardian have it so low). Ponyo probably number three (of ones I've seen) as that is a very charming film.

Son in law works for one of the teams, might see the back of his head biggrin
Believe its quite heavily Haas this year, though the Mercedes episode has potential.

Miss Sloane.

Based losely on true events, American gun lobby stuff, very interesting and enjoyable, if somewhat 'wtf, really'??
