Just finished Bertie and This, which was good, one season was not enough. Why are they cancelling things like this and BoJack and making utter childish low brow shite like 'hoops' and final space?

Oh and I recommend episode seven of the series 'explained', which was made last year. It is about global pandemics and how we need to watch out for the next one "when not if". Most interesting.

+ it’s essential to watch them in correct order to know the history of some of the characters.

Don’t be put off by the title- just started Teenage Bounty Hunters and whilst very early on to know for sure (haven’t even finished the first episode) it is promising and rather funny.
The premise is pretty much outlined by the title, but whilst two of the main characters are indeed teenagers this is no a kids’ show. It’s an action comedy with added satirical critique of the religious Right in an affluent middle class American town. and horny college students pretending to be good Christians but being as callous and sex-obsessed as most late teen kids are.
Funny and sharp without needing or aiming to be a laugh-out-loud series. Recommended based on episode 1.

My wife and daughter are totally into 'crash landing on you' a Netflix Korean drama that is currently number one in Japan (and Korea). Just come to UK neflix too.
So far it's pretty good. Like a JSA comedy romance. Apparently it pans out quite predictably, but my wife says that's just what the Japanese want out of a good Korean drama. Personally I can't see quite where it can go just yet, so I am mildly hooked. . . well just as much as anything else I continue watching.
Also it's teaching my daughter about north and South Korea, which makes it at least mildly educational.

Watching The Rain, danish post apoc series.
Pretty good but it’s really startling how everyone legit looks like someone you’d see going down the shops, nary a nose job or over whitened set of teeth in sight.

Only found this today.
I like it.
It's a little bit like scandi murder mysteries but without the snow.

Yep. Plus the fashion/music/language/settings tell their own stories as the series go on.

Top netflix tip - that new netflix home grown 'blockbuster' project power, starring Jamie Fox's and Joseph Gordon Levitt, is a laughable turd. It looks like it has obviously had money thrown at it, but the story and structure are outrageously poor.

Second ep of 'crash landing on you' and my wife and daughter are so delighted that they are literally dancing around the room. I'm not dancing, but it's decent enough entertainment, it's a simple enough story, but it has a special something that holds my attention. Not 100% sure what that is, but it has it.

Watched 'Upgrade' at the weekend and it was very good indeed. Set in a kind of scifi Bladerunner type future with some dark humour and great action.
Really surprised me as I thought it was going to be terrible.

It got quite a bit of praise here already.
The same team made the recent The Invisible Man, which also is very good.

It's definitely passable, I'd like to watch it again now it's on Netflix but knowing the end its going to be a little depressing.

Is the Invisible Man worth a watch then? I've heard very mixed reviews, some saying it's wonderful and others saying it's terrible. You never know what to believe these days though.
Reno
The In Kraut
It mostly got rave reviews when it came out, not sure where your information from. I don't think it's as good as Upgrade, but it's a very solid reinvention of The Invisible Man story for the #metoo age with a great performance by Elizabeth Moss, who chooses her projects with care. The one corner it got pushback from was the incel crowd.Is the Invisible Man worth a watch then? I've heard very mixed reviews, some saying it's wonderful and others saying it's terrible.

Trapped in a violent, controlling relationship with a wealthy and brilliant scientist, Cecilia Kass (Elisabeth Moss) escapes in the dead of night and disappears into hiding, aided by her sister (Harriet Dyer), their childhood friend (Aldis Hodge) and his teenage daughter (Storm Reid). But when...

Biggest shocker I have seen in a long time. I only got through it due to booze and being agog of how shite it was straight out of the stable, so embarrassing. Would have been better to just ditch the whole thing than let it bring the whole Netflix team down.

not sure if worth getting Netflix for, but I absolutely loved it. It's much better than the one we watched as kids IMO, love the personalities, the gothy costumes, the terrible acting, the hilarity, the darkness. Give it a go.

There are lots of very negative user reviews on IMDB, which I found odd, hence the confusion. Critic reviews are positive like you say, so I might give it a go this weekend!

I never go by IMDb, some ok posters but it’s full of trolls and idiots.

I watched an absolute gem last night called The Peanut Butter Falcon. The story follows a Down Syndrome man called Zak who escapes a nursing home to fulfil his dream of becoming a professional wrestler. He meets a fisherman played by Shia LeBoeuf who is also escaping his own problems, he reluctantly takes Zak under his wing to fulfil his dream whilst both are being chased by people who want them.
This is a loose retelling of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and if you’ve remembered the book from your childhood, you’ll recognise some scenes that are a direct nod to events in the book.
It’s wonderfully acted, the direction and cinematography is on point. There are a lot of tender, funny and thought provoking moments, especially around how people, even if they have good intentions, can treat people with disabilities. Plus it’s not done in a mawkish, glib or preachy way a lot of films handle that sort of material. I just love a film where you are rooting for the main character from the go. Check it out folks.
