Look out, he's got a gnu!
Watched all of In To The Night, loved it, cracking series.
Silly as hell premise but good TV
Even animated I prefer subtitles if it's foreign btw.

Mrs Spy jacked it in last night after part 3 saying it's too absurd but I think it's great and am now on episode 5.
Loads of plot holes (I love that absolutely any passenger can turn their hand to the extremely specialist task of refueling a jet airliner) but pure fun.

You could also say that the overall plot would have been more plausible if they were flying on a Concorde rather than a subsonic jet that does Mach 0.78

Well, on the second last episode of Hollywood and really enjoying the series. Jim Parsons (of The Big Bang Theory fame) is a revelation. All the acting is solid to be fair, and the story, which was never bad to start with, gets better and more gripping with each episode. Definitely one of those where the critics have got it spectacularly wrong and the audiences right.

LA Originals - a mixed bag of a doc ostensibly about the work of Estevan Oriol and Mr Cartoon; the former a photographer, the latter a tattooist. You'll probably know the work of Mr Cartoon as he's the guy who tattooed just about everybody in hip hop and beyond - B-Real, Kobe Bryant, Eminem, 50 Cent, Travis Barker, Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, Danny Trejo and Snoop Dogg. Oriol was tour manager for House of Pain and Cypress Hill at one point. His photographer father then gave him a camera and he went on to photo Dr Dre, Cypress Hill, Ice Cube, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Rick Rubin and the Beastie Boys, as well as the portraits of Al Pacino, Dennis Hopper, Robert De Niro and Floyd Mayweather. The two men's paths cross at a party and they bond over their shared Chicano heritage and their love of the lowrider scene.
It should be brilliant - great footage of the debauchery and madness around the big 90s rap tours. The money and drugs floating around are something to behold. As Mr Cartoon basically becomes house tattooist for the scene, Oriol is there with his camera - both stills and films. The coin Mr Cartoon must have been making was ridiculous; 10s of thousands of dollars for tattoos; going on tour and tattooing before and after stage time; people getting absolutely fucking massive tattoos over a couple of days - 50 Cent's back piece for example.
It's not quite as good as it could have been though. It's like 3 docs crushed in to 1. There's a great film in there somewhere about the chicano/tattoo/lowrider scene; there's another one about the early 90s Lollapalooza tours and the tours House of Pain did with the Beastie Boys and L7 and finally, there's another one about Mr Cartoon and his pioneering tattoos. I've got a feeling that the film is Oriol's baby - all the footage/photos are his - but I'm not sure he's a filmmaker tbh.
Definitely worth your time if only for the snapshot of the 90s LA hip hop scene and the footage of both the early tours and the backstage larks.

I cannot bear dubbed versions of films and TV shows. I just find it totally jarring.

The In Kraut
Same here, totally ruins performances, always sounds like its recorded in a studio rather than on location and lip movements not matching is distracting.
There may be an option to switch to the original audio then put on English subtitles.
Eta Someone else may have mentioned this.

Even when dubbed, I like to have subtitles on. But they really need two sets of English subs. One for the original language text, and one for the dub. Because they're frequently nothing alike and it's quite jarring when the subs aren't what the dub is saying. Usually I just go for original language audio, but it's an issue when watching, for example, Ghibli stuff with my son who won't tolerate Japanese+subs.

The In Kraut
They might have.
You push the Option button on your remote after selecting a Netflix title, then a little symbol pops up in the top left hand corner. You navigate to that and then you can select your dub or subtitle choice. Once set, it should stay the same, at least it works like that for me.
Ertugrul Dirilis aka Ertugrul Resurrection
Surprised but pleased to see this on Netflix. 13th-century power struggles as Turks, Mongols and Crusaders vie for supremacy. English subtitles occasionally off-beam but in an endearing way. Ludicrous amounts of very entertaining fighting (maybe the 13th century was like that), dizzying levels of treachery and very fast forwardable chunks of chaste romance. Also a scheming and plotting Catholic cardinal who looks exactly like Terry out of Terry and June - inspired casting

Season 2 of The Hollow is now out. If you haven’t heard about it, it’s an animated fantasy-adventure series. It might have been conceived as a kids/ teenager series, but don’t be put off by that because it’s absurdly entertaining and engaging for grown-ups too. Don’t take my word for it,; 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes has to be a good sign.
Season 1 is also available for those who haven’t seen any of it.

Finally watched Unorthodox. It was okay; felt like I had to suspend reality a lot of the time as it was a bit far fetched that she would have done what she did so quickly. Not unenjoyable though. And I really like Shira Haas.

The detective/spook isn't as morose as in most Swedish programmes. Maybe because she's not real police

I think it's actually an on screen option before the show starts as well.
Interestingly I discovered last night that if you switch the main language if your 'channel' to Japanese you will even get all the english titles with Japanese cards and seemingly almost every title will be dubbed in Japanese. Selecting English language titles to Japanese is not available in the normal language selection. Not very useful though unless you want to brush up on your language skills by watching Friends in Japanese (or French or whatever I presume).

I suppose that's because this is more of an ensemble show, with a bunch equally important characters and several interweaving storylines, rather than a murder investigation focusing on one brilliant detective. I don't think it would work with Fatima having anti-social quirks like Saga or Sarah Lund as it's not about her character.
I'm still enjoying this but after watching episodes 4 to 6, there is a little too much reliance on convenient coincidences. The thing with

Talking of Nordic dramas, my favourite was Borgen and apparently Netflix is bringing it back:

I watched it last night. It's entertaining and I enjoyed but as you say it crams so much in that could've been better explored more thoroughly in separate documentaries.
Cartoon was unbelievably well paid for the time, to put it in perspective I paid Louis Molloy £60/hour in 2007 and he was among the most expensive in the UK at the time. The recognition in terms of spreading Chicano culture and the look is well deserved and good to see he's come out with something to show for it whereas Oriol seemed to have had a more difficult time since the studio closed down.

right after this urgent rest
We’ve watched the first few episodes of Into the Night, a European sci-fi thriller new series. It’s quite decent with an interesting premise, and so far has had the right level of pace & developments to keep you intrigued. Extra appeal to aviation enthusiasts for reasons that become obvious soon into the series
thanks for highlighting this one - gonna give it a try as it looks interesting

Mr Cartoon can always sell his services I guess. Oriol has taken some iconic images but I suppose that doesn't actually bring money in. I hope the film does well for them; I know Eminem's been tweeting about it.
Tattoo prices are just weird now. In the end, you're (generally) going to pay for quality but the sheer amount of tattooists is nuts. There are 18 studios with at least 3 or 4 chairs in each within 3 miles of my house. (About 30 or 40 across the city). Decent artists working 7 days a week in a city of 250,000? (Big student population though). Some brilliant young artists are working very cheaply but it's not sustainable; particularly not now I guess.
watched something called Time to Hunt last night
it's another movie supposed to be at the cinema this year, but gone straight to Netflix instead.
starts out with a fairly standard heist movie set up, as the gang get together for "just one big job" but that's finished with quickly. and the meat of the thriller is them dealing with the aftermath, totally unprepared for it and in over their heads.
the dystopian near future Korea setting is very well done. lots of clever cinematography where it feels like you're there chasing them or being chased.
also, has the fit one out of Parasite - Woo-sik Choi
