Re: Sweet Tooth S2, very good, but a slight decline in returns on the first season.
Sweet FA
✪ Three rounds Lord, in my .44 ✪
Finished Beef last night. rubbershoes, ATOMIC SUPLEX and others who ditched it after 2 eps (kabbes?); I'd definitely say it's worth finishing. I did the same but Mrs FA wanted to carry on - she was right tbf. It's not all just 2 people becoming increasingly shit to each other. There are some great touches and the ending is acceptable.

Interesting. I am running out of things to watch. . . But I'm going to write you a long PM about my disappointment if it turns out to be . . . Disappointing.
rubbershoes
not the only raver in the village
Outside in. Decent indie film about a guy just out of prison trying to find his feet.
Not as good as Inside Out though

Hannah Gadsby's latest stand up show (Something Special) is on and is IMO utterly hilarious, been laughing like a drain for the duration.
(ie not as dark as some of their previous offerings - which I also liked btw but weren't as full on funny all the way through, I have to be in the right mood for ie. Nanette cos it's quite deep and hard-hitting, this is more this will cheer you up territory).

I'm near the end of the first season. It's very good - but I'm always suprised as what passes for acceptable, in terms of violence & menace, for something that is a 12 rating. It keeps bringing back feelings from covid - which can be unsettling, to say the least!

I watched Aka y/day and quite enjoyed it as an action thriller. About a special ops agent who goes undercover to infiltrate a criminal organisation, headed by Eric Cantona.
The lead character Adam Franco (played by Alban Lenoir) would give Bourne a run for his money. Proper menacing tough character.

There are some dark themes: vivisection, neighbours restraining someone, people getting shot. I am not sure how I would feel about kids watching all of it.
I’ve started watching Neighbor, which is a weird Spanish series about a bumbling idiot that accidentally becomes a superhero and his ex girlfriend’s attempts to track down who the superhero is. The set up is largely irrelevant. If you liked Money Heist, you’ll probably like that it has a similar type of humour and style.

I'm finding myself bored shitless by series two. For instance, it's on now and I'm texting this.

I started watching that a year or so ago. I thought it was good, but sadly find it difficult to find the time to watch subtitled content.
I don't have a sub with Netflix at the moment, and want to check if something is on there, so can some kind person please check if Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey by Brannon Braga is on there?

Blue-blood American heiress plays vital role in the Marseilles-based Emergency Rescue Committee. The ERC was a real thing, that really did get a lot of people "out from under". This is Marseilles in 1940, after France has fallen, before America enters the war, and when millions of desperate people are trying to escape from Europe. This could have been written especially for Mrs Idris (Jewish intellectuals, vintage clothes, vintage CARS, wartime history, France, etc.) but she was and remains sceptical. It's too much of a Disneyfied version of what was a very, very dark time indeed - and there's more than one scene where you can only go "oh, come on, that would never have happened like that".
Yet, we've kept following it, and it's won our grudging respect. Like Ed Rearden, we deplore the hegemony of the 12-year-olds, but we do have to concede that this is a bit of history that is a closed book to those awful young people. So we can forgive its gaucher aspects. Bottom line - it shouldn't work, but it does.

Cheers for this. Looks like I started it and then forgot about it. Will pick it up again.

I can only see one season on Netflix. There are others?

Yes, we're watching this at the moment. Completely agree with your assessment too. It should be an absolute potboiler about a little known part of WW2 but it comes across a bit cartoonish and just doesn't hit the spot. We'll finish it though.

Cartoonish - agreed. The derelict mansion where the ERC scooby gang hide out doesn't look derelict enough. There are times when we could be on the set of "Escape from the Chateau".
