Actually it was good. They did a wee animation of each person's trip story, it was funny.

Community. A comedy series about a group of dysfunctional adults attending a community college in the US of A. It span for six seasons but I’d never heard of it before.
It’s actually pretty funny and very watchable indeed (don’t be put off by the pilot, it gets much better from the off). Short episodes so ideal series to dip into regularly. Good reviewsall around too

Top of the Lakes.
Should I stick with it? The villain is just so much of an obnoxious $%!%, and I can't look at Elizabeth Moss without thinking "Don Draper".
Like Flight of the Conchords in a different way, it's like an exagerrated version of what Kiwis are like.

Moss has had a far more successful career than Jon Hamm since Mad Men, so crediting her success to "Don Draper" seems a little off. She's one of the most in demand actresses working in films and tv now.
I liked the first season of Top of the Lake even if I thought it was a little overrated. Naturalism isn't what it's going after, it's rather loopy.

So there is this new snowpiercer TV show. What is it going to bring to the table that the Film didn't? So far it's fairly similar but, we are getting to see the posho's straight away.
OK it has now moved into different territory. . . I see where it is going now.

Community update. Loving it. Can’t recommend enough for anyone seeking light yet well-written entertaining comedy
Yeah, started watching it - am amazed by the talent in there; Donald Glover and Alison Brie, John Oliver, Dan Harmon and the Russo Brothers...
Only 2 eps in but I reckon we'll stick with it.

Goes a bit south when Dan Harman leaves for one series, then again gets a bit weak after Donald Glover and Chevy Chase leave. Generally pretty great though.

It does. I even 'almost' bought the Nilsson Schmilsson album. Almost.But does it get the coveted and ultra-rare Orang Utan + Atomic Supplex double seal of approval?
Disappointed to see they are making a second series though. It finishes the story off nicely. They will have to think of something pretty special not to 'Matrix Reloaded' it.

I wondered who that lead woman was. She's the little girl from Labyrinth.

Jennifer Connolly - not just Labyrinth - Dark City, Requiem For A Dream and, um, Noah

Finished Schitts Creek and watched the short doc afterwards. Season one was a slow burner for me, I watched a few and then stopped halfway and came back to it months later. I’ve since binged all of them and it went from a show I thought was alright to ‘omg, this is my favourite show’.
It’s just beautiful, I love it. It’s warm and funny and Moira Rose is genuinely fucking brilliant.
I didn’t actually realise how huge the show was until I watched the doc. They love their show which is nice to see. And the night of 1000 Moiras, brilliant.
Sorry I’m really gushing but it didn’t realise how much I loved it until it was finished.

Yeah, I did too. Not exactly brilliant quality, but enjoyable with some good enough characters and plot lines. Clearly written for a certain generation (or two)!

There’s a new Hannah Gadsby stand up on Netflix for those that enjoyed Nanette. I don’t think you need to see Nanette first but it does give you some context.
She was also brilliant in Please Like Me but that’s on Prime so not for this thread.
Anyway, she’s brilliant. I adore her.

Ah now, that's not quite what I meant. What I mean is the actor's appearance in the other role is a distraction from the role she's currently in. Like a few years ago I watched Brooklyn's Finest, a pretty good "dirty cops" movie with Don Cheadle, Ethan Hawke and Richard Gere. Every time Gere was on screen, all I could think was "hey, that's Richard Gere".

That's more a failure of you ability to suspend your disbelief that an actor could play more than one role in their lifetime, rather than a fault of the series. As such, that's only relatable to you.
It was unspeakably awful. I watched it to the end, and hated myself for it

I thought the first few episodes were at least perfectly watchable, but it was already feeling very stretched as a 10-episode series by episode six.
And a friend who’s finished it says the final episodes, which you can normally rely on to be the best or at least among the best of any given series as you reach the climax and learn who the killer might be, said the last two episodes were actually an indescribable load of bollocks. So I might not finish it.

Always reminds me of Monkey when the words don't match the mouths. I also find it harder to hear what they're saying when that's the case. I don't have a hearing impairment and don't lipread in any meaningful way, but I think it makes a difference to listening comprehension nevertheless.

We binged all 10 episodes of season 1 of The Break this weekend.
Brilliant Belgian murder mystery that keeps you guessing right to the end of the last episode (and you won't guess right). Looking forward to watching season 2 next weekend which is also on Netflix.
One for fans of Broadchurch, Bordertown, The Bridge, etc ...
