I started that yesterday. Wasn’t sure if I wanted to (a bit difficult given where I live and people I know), but it’s well done.

You have to muck about to get the original Swedish with English subtitles, but I recommend doing that,

We finished this tonight. It's very good and keeps you guessing right up until the last 30 seconds of the final episode. Let me know what you think.
 
That's more like it. The first list, as you alluded to, was basically somebody looking for famous films on Netflix and going, "Oooh, look what you can watch on Netflix"

I've not seen most of the ones on the list you've posted and they sound intriguing. I'll definitely be seeking out The Cured to start with.

Exactly - I don't want to be told about a bunch of things I'm already completely aware of but just haven't got round to watching, I want to be told about things I'm completely oblivious about that I wouldn't otherwise ever think to seek out or watch.
 
Men Behaving Badly has appeared on Netflix. I'm watching it just to see how bad and outdated it is. I'm expecting very bad and highly sexist but we'll see... it has a laughter track and harry enfield, neither of which are good signs.
 
What Happened to Monday. A perfectly enjoyable Saturday night sci-fi film. I really have no idea why the ratings are only so-so. Ignore them. The film is not perfect but it’s at least a 7, in my book anyway. Engaging and a rather interesting premise as well. Very entertaining.
 
Don't, whatever you do, watch Down The Dark Hall.

I thought, oh, an (almost) all-female cast, Uma Thurman, her out of The Thick of It, it's given me a high match, should be reet this.

Within 5 minutes there were teen thighs all over the shop, tighttight school blouses and short skirts, and deeply inappropriate teacher/pupil contact. I stuck with it, thinking well maybe it will flip and turn into something amazing, as has happened in the past but no. It turned into what I can only describe as a snapped pearl necklace. Sat there, perfectly fine, then POOF, pearls fucking everywhere. And Uma's accent, oh dear :facepalm:

My conclusion is that it must have been someone's wank fantasy/ies whilst on whizz. It didn't know which way to go, what to look at, and was actually laughable, unintentionally.

Oh boo, is it Part 2 ? Is it just a rehash?

It's just quite uncomfortable viewing and the laughs are too infrequent. Occasionally there's a promising moment but overall it felt like the characters were mash ups of previous stuff, slightly brought up to date by using words like 'Lit' or referencing social media...

So there's another young kid with an Instagram account who's inherited an English Country house and title, another teenage girl (who's really tall, leading some very obvious repeat jokes) and another Aussie 'bloke' who's a knob. He and his brothers have big arses.

The other 3 characters showed some promise...A South African lesbian who's an animal psychologist , a department store owner - Keith Dick who has a thing for his cash register and his 35 year old vacuum cleaner and an ex porn star who has a collection of stuff bought and stolen from charity shops and garage sales.

I got 5 episodes in but probably wasn't paying much attention for the 5th. It's far from Summer Heights High.
 
Yebbut, uncomfortable is what he does though innit?

I did wonder if it was gonna be rehashing old stuff. I'll still give it a go when the fella's next out (he fucking HATES Chris Lilley :D). Shame though eh?
 
Another one not to bother with - Black '47.

You'd think that calling the film that would indicate it was about that time and exactly what happened, but no. It's a fucking action thriller piece of shit that could have been set anywhere at any time and just happened to use this place and time. Left a nasty taste in my mouth - more than a bit exploitative. There's so much to say about the famine - say it!
