Could never get into Ally McBeal. All the relationship nonsense irritated me.

Yes - with the Korean stuff I've seen, there's often bits that must make sense if you're Korean or known Korean culture, but which, if you aren't or don't . . .

Sounds promising, I'm looking forward to this. However, so is my teen daughter - how gory/unsettling/inappropriate is it do you think?

It's not at all. Oh there is one guy who is killing people. At one point it shows that he's cut the eyes out of somebody. It depends how old your daughter is I suppose. There isn't loads of blood or anything but it's quite gruesome.
It's rated "mature audience".

Thanks - she's 14 but loves Stephen King etc. Should be OK.

Is so vanilla
The whale stuff is a bit off the wall, but otherwise it's quite charming and follows the usual formula of 'case of the week' conundrum plus a bit of office politics and personal life drama.

Have you seen The Good Wife spin-off The Good Fight? It's arguably better.
Spiral is also excellent. (French drama currently available on BBC iPlayer.) At first glance, it's a cop show, but I think of it as both police procedural and legal drama, because of how the French inquisitive (as opposed to adversarial) legal system works. The cop leads the investigation, but the judge directs it. And as well as the judge(s) there are a couple of lawyers who feature very heavily, more main characters than ancillary, depending on which of the story arcs and episodes you're watching.

Done those. All good, though I'd question The Good Fight's better than TGW.
If you like those and haven't seen it yet, check out the Damages series with Glenn Close.

Watched the first 4 eps of the sandman and as a massive fan of the comics from when they came out , I think they have done well.

I think I got the sandman collection out of the library and have a memory of being completely underwhelmed by it . . . maybe I got it confused with something else.

I assume I would have picked it up because it was the Gaiman one.

Haha, what i mean is was it the brand new netflix version of gaiman and not a shoddy older version.
I watched the first episode last night and thought it was very good.
watched Boiling Point last night. loved it.
shot entirely in one take in a real restaurant in Dalston, it feels like a stage play in the naturalistic style.
you've a cast of believable characters recognisable from any workplace office politics, even if you've never worked in a kitchen. and every little thread of the various dramas come together to create a nerve wracking picture of their hectic world.

I am lost. Has Gaiman done a new comic book version?

It is an adaptation of comic books written by Neil Gaiman, that is what ATOMIC SUPLEX will have picked up from the library.

Yeah, Woodstock 99 was no Glastonbury, just did all three episodes, couldnt look away...
I've reached the end until 10th August.
I cannot wait!!
Park Eun-In is really excellent in the part.
I also like that it's upbeat and whimsical at times.
Finding a lot of stuff I start to watch on Netflix can be a bit depressing at times.
But this is a joy to watch. And the legal jargon is interesting..
Had no idea it was such a car crash, train wreck, whatever; that crowd when Korn hit the stage
scary shit.

So many mistakes, obviously running a 1 day megagig like the Stones is miles away from running a 4 day camping festival, how anyone thought that those were the qualifications... Surprised that there was only 1 death (heatstroke)Had no idea it was such a car crash, train wreck, whatever; that crowd when Korn hit the stage
They cant even agree on the number of punters, 250,000 to 400,000 ?

The original documentary on Woodstock '99 that netflix copied/ripped off was much better imho, and worth digging out if you can - it went much more into the underlying politics and considering why so many of these wealthy, misogynistic young white men felt so angry and alienated. Implicit was the arguable notion that many of them now form the base of the contemporary republican party.

Where is that available?

It was an HBO one, don't think it's on Prime or Disney+

Ah! Gonna be a bit tricky for me to watch then.....shame. It's a grimly fascinating tale.
