Dvd. Luckily I opened the plastic wrap very carefully and could reinsert the disc and reseal.

Sorry, am mixing up my classic J-horrors here.

My favourite was Miike Takashi's one missed call, totally gave me the Willie's, but the general opinion of it from others is that it's shit and not scary at all. Dark Water is another one that was a pile of shit.

I quite "enjoyed" Dark Water, if that's the word. Audition is worth a look, if you not seen it yet...

Line of Duty is ace! It conforms to the laws of diminishing returns but it is still great.
Series 2 with Keeley Hawes is my favourite. I love DCI Lindsay Denton.

Audition. Saw it when it came out and rewatched it recently. I'd forgotten just how
it isLove Jed Mercurio. If you haven't seen it, I'd highly recommend Bodies which is on iPlayer. It's an earlier thing from him and based on his experiences as a doctor. It's pretty graphic in places (and very disturbing) but it's very, very good.
(Saw him and some of the cast do a panel thing at the London TV Festival a couple years ago.

Yeah - absolutely LOVED Bodies when it came out. I thought it was absolutely riveting. I've watched it again fairly recently and it's a little bit clunky but still good.Love Jed Mercurio.

Audition is an amazing as a film, the turns it takes, and the horror feels very real. I was a huge Miike takashi fan already when that film came out. Haven't seen it in years, should give it another go, but the first time can only be the best. I'd have loved to have seen it without knowing the direction it was going. . . . See, I don't hate everything.

If you like that I can also recommend kishiwada shonen gurentai, the bird people of China, blues Harp, and dead or alive 2 for starters.

I think I saw Dead Or Alive - if I remember it correctly it has a spectacular ending which would make a sequel a tricky proposition, but I guess this is Miike Takeshi

The sequels are far superior. Not particularly related though. Doa 2 is my favourite but three is really bonkers and worth it just for the last shot. Not such a fan of the first.

Just watched extra ordinary which I highly recommend. Watch it, but not while washing up as I did. It's worth a proper sit down.

Yep you weren't wrong Atomic Suplex.

TBH you can say the same about most shows or films. Either they’re shit or they’re not, and if the latter they should be watched properly, not from a distance or not at all for periods of time whilst doing chores.

I dunno, I watched that 'adult life skills' which was passable while cleaning up and making the dinner, but not worth sitting down for. Currently on Netflix snowpiercer is my go to for making lunch. . . Though I think I might have finished it.

Finished Snowpiercer. It’s actually quite alright, by no means perfect but very watchable to those who liked the concept of the film. It also differs from the film in several and rather interesting ways.
It even satisfied ATOMIC SUPLEX as background fodder so can’t be that bad

Yes, enjoyed that. Well written, funny, surprisingly touching.

That was really interesting. Thanks for the tip x

Respect my existence or expect my resistance
Line of Duty is very good, might have to watch it a couple of times because the dialogue is very jargon heavy. Jed Mercurio is a brilliant writer, if you can find Bodies of YouTube I would recommend 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 seasonwww.google.com
I also passed on it a few times as it came up on my list of recommendations but decided to watch when husband said it had good reviews. For me it had more of a Buffy than KickAss+Stranger Things feel. Well, in the sense that I don't like Stranger Things and I like Buffy and it made me think "this is a bit like Buffy but with demons and a powerful yet bewildered young woman as the lead" REALLY enjoying it! (watched 5 episodes so far).
edit: oh, yes, it actually says that in The Guardian review you posted "It is Buffy, basically, mixed with elements of Sense8, Orphan Black and The OA. "

Actually quoting myself...watching this for a second time. It's magnificent.

All the stuff but the stuff she says about art history. I've thought this for years and I thought it was just me.
