Lonely Island's Unauthorised Bash Brothers Experience is just brilliant, only 20 mins, loved it, a real laugh.

Well I wasn't expecting this. It could be so good I'm putting it in a spoiler

The mix of puppetry (muppetry?) and CGI is unsettling. They should've gone all one or the other.
It's either a mix or some of the CGI is monstrously superior to the rest of it. Not sure which would be worse.

Yup. Nightmares for the kids (and some adults).

When They See Us - Ava du Verney dramatisation of the Central Park Five case.

First episode is..,good. If, by "good", you mean so depressing and anger inducing you want to put your fist through the TV. But an important story that had to be told. And it has been told very well.

The Assassination of Gianni Versace - American Crime Story. It's trashy like season one but looks and feels very different. In parts, some of the scenes make me think of American Psycho. Lot of the music is 80s, which is a bit of an anachronism but still grimly fascinating show, all the same.

I'm watching The Good Place. It's a one trick pony but it's a good trick and it does that trick well.

New show on street food too when I get round to it.

Finished Quicksand Spymaster and danny la rouge - very good; cheers for the tip.

I know exactly what you mean re safeguarding Red Cat

Oh right. I thought that was a whole film so didn't bother. Their last film was dog shit.

Yeah we are sacking through that and always sunny while my brother (who left his log in on my telly when he came to babysit) still has a months free trial. Hope he sticks with it!

Happy season 2 drops in June.

. . . And now sci fi have cancelled it.
Hopefully netflix or someone else will pick it up.

New black mirror, season 5 not happy at all
what the fuck happened

 

[marshall]

No, I don't like their longer stuff. This is funny. Well, I thought it was funny; the premise being that in addition to baseball and steroid abuse the Bash Bros (you know who they are, right) made an 80s rap album, and these are the raps and videos.

Season 2 of Bad Blood is on. If you haven’t seen season 1 and like gangster stuff, you should get on it.

Canadian mob film set in Montreal based on real events.

I like how they used a "true" story and inserted a character into it that they wanted to use to build an ongoing series around.

It was a smart idea as I think people are drawn to a true story and this was a way of getting a character a start before him basically taking on the series in a completly fictional setting for series 2 onwards. Series two was better than 1

Do the FLQ put in an appearance?

 

[chandlerp]

FLQ?

 

[Idris2002]

FLQ?

Front du Liberation du Quebec.

Vivre le Quebec Libre!

(they only killed about 8 people, bunch of lightweights).

 

[flypanam]

Started watching episode 1 of The Paper yesterday. It's a Croatian show and is pretty good. From what I get so far a paper is struggling and gets taken over by a wealthy investor.

Thanks for flagging that up, I enjoyed season one.

Season 2 of Happy! has just appeared on Netflix!

 

[T & P]

A general recommendation about sound quality. If, like us, you sometimes feel voices/dialogue in Netflix's output is drown out by much louder music/ sound effects (which is really fucking annoying, as you either can't hear a word being said, or wake up the neighbourhood if there's a shot or explosion), simply go to the audio settings and change the sound from English 5.1 Dolby to bog-standard English. The overall volume will be lower, but voices and dialogue will now be on the same level as music & sound effects so it solves the problem nicely.

 

[Idris2002]

OK, so Bad Blood gets better in season 2?

I ask because I just watched the first two eps of season1, and there's nothing there we haven't seen a thousand times before.

Just binged this and it really had an impact on me, what a well made series, excellent acting and casting, really good use of music ... Thoroughly depressing subject matter

 

[Orang Utan]

I can thoroughly recommend 10 and a half minutes into Climax until 15 and a half minutes into it, just for the thrilling choreography in the dance sequence. The rest of the film is not recommended, but don't let that put you off the five minutes of dancing.

3% season three is out now

 

[wiskey]

Have been watching High Seas, nice easy Agatha Christie type of saga on a cruise ship, lots of dying and whodunnit. Because i am spectacularly dense I spent the first episode wondering why the audio was so badly synched before twigging that it's dubbed in English over the original Spanish

 

[Idris2002]

Went back to Berlin Station. Things are hotting up nicely, even if this season does suffer from "difficult second album syndrome" .

 

[wiskey]

People I know are excited about the new Tales of the City series, I watched that first one but it didn't really grab me, only the first 3 books really interested me though.

 

[Part 2]

Watched all 4 epsiodes today. After watching Chernobyl and The Virtues recently it's another very heavy watch.

It's very good though I did feel the Chernobyl effect creeping in at times and was questioning how true it was as some scenes did feel over dramatised.

I'd recommend anyone planning to watch it stay away from googling anything and go in with as little knowledge as possible as it's easily spoilt.
