I am having a massive splurge on Netflix at the moment though. Got the free trial again to watch Charlie Brooker's new thing, then realised that all of Deep Space 9 is on it, so it'll save us a fortune on box sets :D Then I remembered a mate saying how much she'd loved Benedict PoshName's Sherlock Holmes, so we are currently absolutely fucking LOVING that. Wasn't expecting it to be quite so brilliant.

And I am now also starting to binge-watch House, because himself is off on tour loads at the mo and I can't find anything decent to read in the library. Medical drama and laughing at his shitty American accent. Easy viewing :) Although I think I'm starting to get a bit tired of the formulaic storylines already :hmm:

I think i dropped out of House around series 5 - I googled how everything resolved itself. :D

I am just finishing DS9 series 5.

I like Miss Fisher Murder mystery - third series now available.
 
for the bible tells me so - some dark shit about how scripture and shit has been used to deny human rights

I cant watch house cus mans always like 'it might be ms, better run dem test' and I'm sitting there watching it thinking that well aint fucking ms you fat idiot i got a encyclopaedia on that shit what have you got?? medical degrees? get in the fucking sea they aint worth shit.

i got major beef with house. fuck house.
 
If you want easy viewing 'Person of Interest' is very good. It does, inevitably, tail off a bit as they made quite a lot of it.

It's a funny, well written action-thriller with shades of Minority Report, involving a supercomputer which can predict crimes before they occur. The two main characters, a gentle computer geek and a John McClane-esque fighty man have good, funny dialogue throughout.

I sighed inwardly when they introduced a fucking dog sidekick in season 2 (or3?) but even then, it's good popcorn telly.
 
the art of Organized Noize - about the producers behind outkast, tlc waterfalls, en vogue dont let go, and loads more shiz
 
Occupied is a ten part Norwegian political thriller that we're coming to the end of.

The Green Party comes into power and cuts off the oil supplies in favour of a new, climate friendly technology they've developed. The rest of the EU uses Russia as a proxy to invade Norway and restore the oil supply. The series looks at the political machinations, spies, and resistance movements, as well as running a couple of murder enquiries alongside.

Well acted and some nice photography of Norway. One for DotCommunist

Heh, Bear - who only responds to commands in Dutch because of course - is alright, and Person of Interest is a good show. It has excellent scenery-chewing recurring villains and villainesses too. It's like 24, but fun.
 
Mo'Nique - I coulda been your cellmate - stand up comedy show at an Ohio womens prison - made me LOL and cry :cool:
 
There's a NZ series called True Crime which is 90 minute dramatised versions of nasty happenings from NZs history...

The first ep was all over the place and confusing and I turned it off....the 2nd ep was a tense siege story of a weed growing gun nut who opens fire on the cops and was very good....I've just watched ep 3 and it's a brilliantly made semi-comedic murder story about a guy, a dog, murder and the trans community in the 70s....it was a great episode - it reminded me of Strictly Ballroom!!!

It's a very weird stew of styles, that series!

I thought it was a decent little flick, and I was surprised there was no mention of it in the Graun's recent story - normally they're jumping over themselves to have some cultural angle!

Watched the first 4 episodes of this today and it's pretty good but we're getting a bit bored with all the shagging. We counted between 5 and 9 bunk-ups per episode. Get on with the story, ffs. :mad:

Yeah, I agree with you there, the story is worth the unrequested and unrequired porn mind. Happily, at least no car chases.
 
We've recently got a family subscription (despite being spread around the country)... I'm therefore new to all this.
Can someone tell me if Netflix licenses for programmes are time limited... i.e. If I make a list of things to see will all that content still be on Netflix in 10 months time?
