Just been watching Under an Arctic Sky, really fun shortish docu about some Americans who go to surf in Iceland. Absolutely breathtaking scenes, and a fun soundtrack... great light viewing.

Just watching this now. They're American surfer dudes and therefore slightly annoying but it's worth watching for the beauty of Iceland alone. I do have to admire their pluck for getting into that water in an Icelandic winter!

Can't remember if I replied to this but I've seen 4 out of the 5. Netflix over here only have the first 3, so hell knows when I'll see the last. It's a dark series with each season getting darker and better. There's some familiar faces from the likes of The Shield, Sons of Anarchy and Lost and Vera Farmiga is magnificent. In parts, there's a bit of a Twin Peaks vibe going on - the town with a respectable veneer and grim shit below the surface. My main criticism is Norman himself is a bit of a dick and my least favorite character. However, hat's off to the actor in season 4.
 
Watching season 2 of The Sinner. Three episodes in and so far it’s pretty good, also starting with a murder with an apparently inexplicable motive. Better than season 1 which suffered in comparison to the novel by being relocated from Berlin to small town America and by being somewhat watered down.
 
This series of The Good Place has not been as good as the previous ones thus far imo, but today’s episode was better and it reintroduces a much needed sense of impending doom for the main characters.

Enjoy next week's, it's the last until January.
 
Finished The Sinner 2 yesterday and I didn't like it as much as the first one. I found it all a bit obvious. Even a bit lazy. Oh right the wierdo commune down the road :rolleyes:

Although the ending of the first one was a bit of a letdown, I genuinely didn't know where it was going. This second one, I could see it a mile off.
 
Binged watched Norsemen. Very fuckkng funny.

Now doing the same with Black Crows. Drama about ISIS. Unrelenting grimness (as you’d expect).

I also enjoyed it, and but was kind of waiting for a twist, then it finished. I found the last episode a bit of an anticlimax.

It started out strong but by the second half I got bored with it.
 
I've held my nose and thrown another eight quid at Netlix for Tin Star and Utred Son of Utred! (Last Kingdom) of which I'm told they uploaded S3 earlier today. Might have another look at Call Me Saul.
 
Another vote for Ballad of Buster Scruggs; just beautiful; scenery or filming or whatever you call it is gorgeous; script is musical, acting is generally ace; soundtrack is fantastic. Love the Coens.
 
Enjoyed 'Shirkers' the documentary....bizzare story.

In 1992 teenager Sandi Tan shoots Singapore's first road movie with her enigmatic American mentor, Georges, who then absconded with all of the footage. The 16 mm film is recovered 20 years later, sending Tan, who is now a novelist living in Los Angeles, on a personal odyssey in search of Georges' footprints.

Finished Season 3 of Fargo last night. Fuck me that was tense! And some of the best writing and acting I have ever seen. Absolutely ruined for any other telly for a while now. I can't believe it sat on my netflix list for well over a year, being passed by cos it didn't look very interesting :rolleyes::oops::D
