School of the Damned
Oh dear. Low budget films don't have to be rubbish but this one is. A poor script that wants to build the tension but can't. There's a few interesting moments along the way (broom) but overall it's a poor homage to the Village of the Damned

Just started an odd and beguiling drama, The OA. Knew nothing about it, which adds to the mystery of the show. Only 2 eps in and not at all what expected ... in a "good" way. Slow burner with a fairy tale/bad dream quality to it.
Orang Utan - that made me laugh. I cannot STAND to watch films or tv with anyone other than my fella. My daughter drives me fucking INSANEthis thread has reminded me how awful it is watching tv or films with other people

I absolutely loved The OA. it snuck up on me and is a series of many layers, genres, moods etc.
Not really a spoiler at all but
the end destroyed me, out of the blue, I couldn't breath because I was crying so hard

I like watching films with others, I often have film evening with a bunch of friends. They know better than than to incur my wrath, so they are on their best behavior. It's all a matter of training.Orang Utan - that made me laugh. I cannot STAND to watch films or tv with anyone other than my fella. My daughter drives me fucking INSANE

I've been meaning to watch The O.U. as I've liked films by and with Brit Marling. The series got cancelled after season 2, to much protest from from fans as it was supposed to last 5 seasons and then I didn't bother. Does it at least feel like an ending ?I absolutely loved The OA. it snuck up on me and is a series of many layers, genres, moods etc.

The OU would be miles better than the OA, even if I do say so myself

TBH it is the end of the first series I was talking about, I can't really remember what happened at the end of S2
I didn’t like Sex Education. I Am Not Okay With This is far superior.
Apparently same director as The End of the Fucking World but I preferred the latter as even the vaguest bit of supernatural stuff puts me off.

I liked both those. Hated sex education. I don’t usually like the teen angst drama stuff but they both clicked with me.
I spent over 20 years 'training' my lass not to interrupt, ask questions before the end, talk to her mates, play loud shit on her phone, and failed miserably. And trust me, I am one determined fucker.I like watching films with others, I often have film evening with a bunch of friends.

Don't do it! It doesn't so much as go downhill fast as tie lead weights to itself and pitch itself headlong down a mineshaft.
Absolutely the most annoying, unrelatable lead character in TV history.

Smattering of Blade Runner in a coupon of scenes (with the neon and synth score) but yeah, John Wick meets DOA meets Luc Besson.
Solid entertainment of a B movie variety.

Let us know if you make it past episode 4 without that going through your head when you try to fall asleep at night
The premise looked really good, ok, we've had a few shows like this, but I am always up for some post-apocalyptia.
No. The Rain did not do it for me at all. It might have been OK if the plot had been good, but the plot mostly seems to involve a small group of people deciding that they need to go towards the people who have been hunting them, then they escape and try to get away from them. Then they decide they need to infiltrate them again, then they have to escape and get away from them.
I loved the idea of it and the 1st episode is really good, but the plot is utter nonsense, there is no basic application of logic wrt the storyline or the world they are in or in any of the characters' actions and it doesn't get any better if you watch it right until the end.
They capture 3 baddies and yer man says 'grab their weapons' but they don't have them for the rest of the ep. Sloppy ah-it'll-do shit.

Worth.
Decent performances but it was missing something.

take me to the feeling
Finished this, do recommend it - one of those shows that really makes the most of what it's got, including some strong performances and entertaining use of effects. Only four episodes so doesn't outstay its welcome. And it has a Brexit joke!
not-bono-ever
meh
shit, theres a series 2. thats me finished here

Watched the first episode of this just now...
TOTALLY drawn into it within the first 10 minutes - it is beautifully shot with atmosphere dialled up to 11.
Cannot wait to watch the rest but am going to pace myself as OH also wants to see it, so we're going to fit in episodes when he is at home (he has Saturday night off though).
On the basis of the 1st episode, would 100% recommend so far if you liked his previous supernatural Netflix series. It looks amazing, the cast is great, high production values, slow very atmospheric build up so far. Hopefully the rest of it continues in this vein.

Oooh have just watched the trailer and the Sheriff is Rahul Kohli who was Dr Ravi Chakrabarti in iZombie, which was ridiculous but I really liked it and think he is a cracking actor with a stunning face to boot

I’ve binged Midnight Mass and it’s fucking abysmal. It’s got quite possibly the. most cringeworthy dialogue I’ve ever seen. It reminds me of the worst book I’ve ever read given to me by a rather attractive evangelical christian.

I hope not, I thought it got off to a cracking start and am planning to watch the rest of it today

I watched the whole lot so, there’s that. I do have a low tolerance for the topics at hand and the style its delivered in. You may well enjoy it.
