Uncoupled. An 8-episode quirky comedy starring Neil Patrick Harris about a gay New York high profile property agent in his late 40s who gets suddenly dumped by his long term partner.
I am by no means a big fan of romantic comedies, but this is actually rather funny, well written, not cheesy in any way, and with a wealth of interesting supporting characters. Recommended.

I was dubious. . . but I like Harris. I'll give it a try.

It is not cheesy (my main problem with rom coms) and the dialogue is clever with plenty of funny jibes and put downs. I’d say watch two episodes (they’re short), and if it’s not doing it for you, don’t bother with the rest.

Decent doc about XR and it’s first year or two in the mainstream. Now covid is (officially at least, your stance may vary) over have to check what’s happening I think .

So you know Netflix's algorithms can be a bit random? I've had the same email three times telling me Kindergarten Cop 2 is available from this week.
I've managed to avoid the first one for like 30 years (it came out in 1990
) so I'm not about to start Kindergarten Copping now. 
Very random indeed.

I don't remember much about the first other than it has a lot more violent action than you would expect from a kids comedy. "SHAAAAADDDDAAAAAAAAPPP".

I'm confident that not having seen the first one wouldn't affect the amount you enjoy the second

It wasn’t a kids comedy though was it. It was a comedy about kids. It had a 13 rating, which was about the equivalent of the rating of Jaws, when it was released in the 70s.

I am aware of this, I just remember not quite expecting it only having ever caught the box/poster peripherally. I would not have been actively seeking the film out.

Watched the first one.
I am not sure the dialogue is clever and I found the usual barbed NY gay 'funny jibes' a tad tedious.
It might be a bit too 'american housewives' for me. Witty, successful, poshy posh new yorkers had a relationship boo boo. Oh poo.
As suggested i'll give it another ep. First one was just the set up.

Is it really?
EDIT
I thought you were taking the piss, but I just looked it up and it is Dolph Lungren!!! . . . I was literally thinking of the laziest cheap arse response a studio would make for a cash grab sequel - but just for comedy effect on a forum post, not for REALS!!!
Ha ha.

The documentary just out about trans skater lee baker is really good, I learnt stuff and it flipped my expectations a bit I'd recommend it. But I forgot the name of it
Edit: "stay on board". I went in expecting a skate documentary which it was but also a lot more. And it's only 70 mins or so, not 3 drawn out episodes like most new docs.

take me to the feeling
Way behind everyone else, I know, but I just watched S1 of The Sinner. There was lots about it that annoyed me (some hackneyed characterisation among the supporting bods, a frankly comedic depiction of criminal investigation and legal process), but Jessica Biel was just outstanding and I loved how the denouement was actually much less grim and much more human than the twisty flashback narrative implied.

A new, animated, episode of the Sandman is out (ep 11)

slight system overdrive
Just saw episode 5 of The Sandman last night. What a very good series.
Been watching a bit of the Lincoln Lawyer. It's watchable nonsense but suffers in its similarity to Goliath. The lead is no Billy Bob Thornton.

I think I've said this before but the lead reminds me of Jim Rockford.
I like him

Kleo. A German spy-action-comedy/drama eight-episode series about an unhinged Stasi female assassin, set around the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
It is basically a German Killing Eve, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes that genre. A bit silly at places but it doesn’t take itself too seriously, which makes it work. It is also slick, well filmed and with a good soundtrack. So a rather enjoyable product, and at the halfway point, a solid 7.5/ 10 from me.

Got an 8 from me.
It is dubbed (quite well) in English but also has original German language and subtitles for both languages if you do not like dubbing.
Recommend it.

I'm struggling to find myself interested enough to fire up episode two. I'm told it does get better though.

Exasperated, not angry.
The Guardian review said that first hour was the finest hour of television you’ll see all year. Which is odd, as I thought it was crap too. It does get going and gets much better afterwards though.
Enjoyed it but so slowly got more and more annoyed by the flaws you mention, especially in later series. Haven't watched the latest one.
