I recommend to Netflix that they give some warning before deciding to pull a series from their platform.
Grimm was one of the few things that all the family liked sufficiently to make it a shared viewing experience - went to continue it from mid series 2 after new year to find it had all vanished

They do give some warning:

How to find out if a TV show or movie is leaving Netflix

When a title is leaving, you'll see a "Last day to watch on Netflix" message on the title's Details page or at the top of the screen when first playing it.
help.netflix.com help.netflix.com

They also send press releases of what gets added and what leaves and plenty of websites report on it every month so it be googled.

Went back to watching some old Archers. Given the amount of rubbish on the site, I don't think I'll be "Netflix for life", somehow.

I'm still seething about Okkupert - I watched season 1, then was about to watch season 2 only for them to pull it immediately after advertising it, without any explanation :mad:
 
Pissed off that they have Steven Universe seasons 1, 4 and 5, but not 2 and 3. I mean what's the fucking point of that? Season 4 is useless without the preceding two.
 
Medical Police. Ridiculous, stupid, random and really quite funny. Very short episodes, episodic but one story arc, none of it make very much sense but it doesn't really matter it's hilarious.
 
Is it just me who's late to Sons of Anarchy?

I didn't watch it for years because someone told me that there were rapes in it but heard so much about it that I cracked and am now watching the first season. It's very good so far; proper tension, and great plots and characters.

It's gripping and then it loses it for a bit, we started to catch up again when Walter Goggins arrives but have yet to finish it.

I watched the first 3 series.

The first is pretty good, the second is OK, the third is fucking amazingly bad. Apparently it then gets better again and the last season's supposed to be good.

I've managed to avoid it completely. I despise everything and anything backpatch related, so I couldn't possibly enjoy it. Grown men playing dress-up and acting hard on Harleys. No thanks.

Poor man's Sopranos / Breaking Bad

It is not bad. I liked the characters and some are well acted. It does waver a lot in terms of plot quality as pointed out. Not in any hurry to rewatch any of it.

It's so, so bad. I watched it all god help me. I don't get why they did it. Was it a tax thing?

me too, no idea if it was some kind of scam, I genuinely think they thought they could do ireland and not fuck it up, US shows have form for it I believe.
I don't even think most of it was filmed in Ireland :rolleyes:

At the time I read that just the outside biking bits and a few others were shot in ireland, the res in america pretending to be ireland with notable differences i foliage colour and light qualities.

I remembered this:

Sons of Anarchy go Ireland. Hilariously

Last night I was at a loose end and I sat down and watched the four episode chunk of the third season of Sons of Anarchy where the gang goe...

sample quote:

"And back to the gun running because it was so front and centre in all of this. The logistical backbone of this whole show is that Russians smuggle weapons into Ireland and the IRA then smuggles them out to California. It just doesn't make any sense. Private ownership of guns in Ireland - either half - is so tightly regulated that if you gathered up all the legally held weapons on both sides of the border, you'd be able to fit them into a single room. Keeping guns out of the hands of subversives has been a core government preoccupation for so many years that there probably isn't another country on earth which it's more difficult to smuggle guns into. It can still be done, but it's crazy hard. And smuggling guns back out would be only slightly less hard. If you wanted to get guns from A to B, running them though Ireland would be the worst way imaginable. And even the idea that the IRA would have some vast surplus of guns they no longer needed and could sell to the US is kind of dumb. The IRA's full arsenal on its best day was only about a thousand weapons. By the end of season one, the SOA had already moved at least that many guns around California. But that's just niggling at the idea of Ireland as a point of origin for gun smuggling, as opposed to a point of delivery. The really idiotic idea is the notion that the US needs to import illegal guns at all. The US is awash with guns. They're as plentiful as cell phones and the US is one of the world's leading manufacturers of firearms. It's one of the few manufacturing areas where the US still has a significant domestic industry to meet domestic demand, though it still imports a lot of weapons from Brazil and China to meet the demand for cheap knockoffs of the domestic product. There's absolutely no need for the SOA to go to the trouble of bringing in guns from Ireland. So I've suffered through all these terrible accents for no good reason."[/quote]

I only recently finished BB but have never watched even 1 ep of Sopranos - is it worth it?

Yes and many lies by omission. It's written by the churchill-on-the-tube man after all. The entire issue of systemic child abuse is skirted over, as if Spotlight never happened, and all the flashback scenes ignore the church's alliance with the dictatorship and show Pope Pryce in the best possible light. The part where he goes to his former boss's house to remove books and warn her about Alfredo Astiz is a fabrication. Her sons in law and pregnant daughter had already been abducted (daughter was released after 4 months of torture) and she was a founder of the mothers of the plaza de mayo. She had to trick him into going to the house so he'd remove the books. She was indeed abducted shortly afterwards by Astiz's squad and as the film shows, she winds up dead anyway, so not much use there. There is no such absolution via flashback for Pope Hopkins, the Zarah Leander liking teenage nazi square.

The priest on the bike who avoids capture was called Luis Dourron so that was a curiously correct detail.

Perhaps this got cut for being a bit too off brand.

Calling Protesters in Chile ‘Dumb,’ Pope Francis Sets Off Uproar (Published 2015)

A comment by Francis regarding a Chilean bishop accused of being complicit in clerical sexual abuse has raised doubts about the pope’s commitment to protecting victims.
www.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com

“The Osorno community is suffering because it’s dumb,” Pope Francis told a group of tourists on St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City, because it “has let its head be filled with what politicians say, judging a bishop without any proof.”

“Don’t be led by the nose by the leftists who orchestrated all of this,” the pope said.

Part of the testimony of pope's former boss's daughter here. Worth mentioning since although this should have been of personal interest, he was silent about the role he and his church played until he was compelled to testify in 2010, 33 years after this occurred. And even then he lied by claiming that he didn't find out until 2000 or 1985 that babies born to abducted women who were subsequently murdered were given to regime connected people and that there was a campaign to recover them, a campaign he did not help.
