I watched all of Ju-on: Origins, a prequel mini-series to the popular J-horror franchise. Not bad if you like that type of thing. Astonishing bleak and brutal and if you don't like gore and bad things happening to children and pregnant women, stay away. By the end I got a little confused, because in as with the film series, it jumps around different time frames.

You might find much of the first episode nothing to write home about, but once the action moves to London and an array of additional main and supporting characters is added, it gets very good indeed.Might give that a watch then. My sister recommended it but she has dreadful taste generally

I know I recommended this a while back, but saying it again now cos we finished it last week and thought it was absolutely brilliant.
Tales From The Loop
" Townspeople live above `The Loop', a machine built to unlock and explore the mysteries of the universe."
It's a series of interlocking stories, and I can't recommend it highly enough.

It’s on Amazon, not on Netflix and there even is a thread: Tales From The Loop on Amazon Prime - fantastic!

Just watched the first episode of Dark and am already massively confused about who’s who and how they’re related to each other. And there’s three seasons. This is not gonna be another waste of time like Lost, is it?

If you’re confused already then I’d stop there.
I've not watched Lost so can't answer that one, but I did love this. First season's a piece of piss compared to S2 and 3 though! There's no spoon feeding at all, it keeps you constantly on the ball, and the only way to watch it, for me, is to let it wash over you and try and absorb it. I had to catch up on S1 and 2 in order to watch 3, and although I am still struggling, I am enjoying it.

I didn’t find it than confusing in season 1 but you do have to pay attention. Nearly every episode has a montage sequence which makes the relationships between the characters clear.
Unlike Lost, this was conceived as a three season run with an ending in mind. Several major plot twists, which would have been mere gimmicks in Lost, pay off massively here. The plot is genuinely clever.
Everybody I know who liked the show thought the ending was great and I think it’s one of the best shows ever made, but if time travel paradoxes aren’t for you....

For some reason I'd never finished The Thick of It when it was first out.
Just finished it and thought the last couple of episodes were fantastic. The penultimate one was a real change to what had gone before. It may be due to my interest in legal proceedings but I found it brilliantly scripted and quite riveting. I love it when someone who is all illusion is skewered by a detailed line of questioning. A bit like PMQs without the braying audience.
Anyone who didn't stay the course should watch it.

Warrior Nun. A superhero-cum-supernatural fantasy series. Yes, the title is decisively silly and off putting, which is why I’d been dismissing it since it appeared in my Netflix home page last week.
I was therefore surprised to come across today a range of fairly good reviews across the board, with The Guardian describing it as a kind of KickAss meets Stranger Things.
Started the it and the first episode is decent and intriguing enough so far, and the reviews seem to suggest it improves as the series progresses. We’ll see...

'Kickass girls killing monsters': is Warrior Nun the next Stranger Things?
Knights, demons and a charismatic cast feature in Netflix’s answer to Buffy. Let’s just hope this loopy thrill-ride isn’t cancelled after one season

I watched the other variant of this, the movie The Old Guard. Charlize Theron looking like Carrie-Ann Moss doing John Wick/Highlander. Decent enough for popcorn.

Watched the 2019 remake of Child’s Play. A bit shit if I’m honest. To its credit it recovers from an increasingly bad lull in the middle to end up as a watchable horror was. Mark Hamill was the voice of Chucky, but frankly unrecognisable as himself so not a selling point to even a diehard SW fan.

Thats as far as i'd go.

Halfway through and just about okay so far. The outstanding detail so far for me is the character who- at anything less than close range anyway- looks a great deal like Mo Salah.

I don’t mind shit per se,Thats as far as i'd go.
Nothing wrong on principle with shit films if you know what you’re in for, but they need to have a redeeming feature. Especially when they’re a remake of a popular film.Thats as far as i'd go.
Audrey Plaza is not a bad actor but I feel she’s being stereotyped and have missed the boat...
Reno

Audrey Plaza is indeed wasted in this, she deserves better. The original Child's Play films are far from masterpieces, but at least they are fun. They get more meta and camp as they go on and the last couple of sequels (6 & 7) are the best since the first one and they are a lot more entertaining than this piece of junk.

Is it better than the original ju-on? That film is utterly shite.

I thought the first two seasons were just about watchable, so if this is worse, I'll skip it (despite having a mild crush on Matt Bomer
)
