Just watched all 6 episodes of After Life.
My own bereavement has held me off watching it and probably watched it at the right time. There was loads to identify with though and it's well written despite my usual dislike of Gervais. The ending was all a bit tidy and nice so I was surprised to see there's a second series but i guess life goes on and it'll be interesting to see where it goes.

I've just noticed that the first two seasons of Top Boy are on Netflix in advance of season three coming out soon.
It's set in Hackney and it's good, innit.

Agreed. Surprisingly good performance from Asher D, backed by other excellent performances

I've just watched The Girl With All The Gifts. I watched it because Paddy Considine's in it, and he's always good. Okay for a vaguely sort of zombie genre film, although they're called 'hungries' and it's a fungal infection.
But the best thing about it is the girl who's in it, who's rather brilliant, an actress called Sennia Nanua.

All got wrapped up neatly in the end. . . maybe too neatly. One more season to go. . .

It's great isn't it! I can't believe I've waited so long to watch it either. It's so entertaining and I'm completely blown away by their creativity, uniqueness, nerve and talent
But I have an awful habit of googling something drag related during the show and accidentally finding out the winner of whatever season I'm watching

I actually googled who the winners were so I've known who's won before the end, didn't make it any less enjoyable. Although I have forgotten who's won 2 & 3 which I'm yet to watch. Halfway through season 10 right now...

Dylan doc; Rolling Thunder Revue. Thoroughly enjoyable and yes, I fell for the mischievous parts. Not sure how I feel about that

How the fuck did this steaming pile of shit get 91% on Rotten Tomatoes?
Always Be My Maybe (2019)
Watched it last night. Truly dire.

Currently watching 'I am mother' sci-fi futuristic quite tense and well acted. Premise is that a young girl is raised in an isolated facility that looks a bit spaceship-y by a robot after an extinction event, but then someone else turns up (played by Hilary Swank). 'Mother' the robot is a bit Hal-ish and a tug-of-love scenario ensues. That's pretty much in trailer, so not spoiler-y.
No idea how it pans out. Quite good if you like sci-fi.
But what film should I watch next?

I don't think 8 or 9 were as good as the other seasons. First three episodes of 10 are out.

Circle (not to be confused by The Circle). A sci-if/ psychological thriller on the theme of moral philosophy. This is a B-movie so don't expect too much of it, but I will say this: it is one of the best B-movie films I've seen in years. Intriguing, entertaining and thought-provoking: perfect late evening fodder.
A group of 50 strangers wake up, after been kidnapped by an unseen, presumed alien force, in a room standing in a circle. If anyone tries to leave the spot they're standing on they are killed by some kind of electric bolt emanating from a central console. And ever two minutes, the electric bolt will kill one of them. Soon they work out they might be able to influence who the bolt kills next, and that's when all the moral dilemmas and prejudices arise as the remaining individuals argue about who deserves to live more than others.
Overall a highly satisfying film, more so as we had put it on with very low expectations.

I found it very disappointing, like a really bad version of the show "Fifteen to One".

Perhaps after watching too many truly awful films on Netflix my standards and thresholds have fallen. But if one is simply looking for easygoing entertainment of an evening, this was a surprisingly worthwhile effort imo. The ending could have been a little better, but I enjoyed the interactions between the characters and the cheap thrills & the tension, which come aplenty.

I've just watched a mad Mexican film called The Similars. Absolutely bonkers I tell ye!
