Latest episode of The Good Place was excellent as usual. Ended on a

It pains me to have to agree with OU, but in this rare instance the old fella is correct, The Good Place is a bit naff. Tried to like it, liked the idea of it, gave it a good go, gave up... just not clever enough, not funny enough, might've worked in the early 90's, but for a contemporary audience it just doesn't make the grade.
I've no doubt it might still appeal to some of the lower brow crowd on here, so fill yer boots, but I was left underwhelmed.

The Good Place is delightful.
Oh, fuck off.

Low effort trolling surely, nobody's that dense.

I’m enjoying it. Far from appealing to the lower brow audience I think it’s probably the contrary. You need to think a bit deeper and look beyond the obvious.

There aren't many programmes that would have the teaching and discussing of ethics as their centre point.

I actually think that Good Place is very similar to Gervais comedy,specifically The Invention if Lying and Derek. What you see is not what you get. You have to think deeper! I think it’s brilliant series.

Thanks for the heads up! We also loved the first two series of this, and have just watched ep 1 of the new series. Pretty good and did not disappoint
On a semi related note, why are we being made to wait for new episodes of this and many other shows? One of the glories of Netflix was to be able to binge watch series as they were released whole. It feels as if fewer and fewer shows are made available instantly in their entirety. Grrr...

Just watched series 1 of mindhunter. Excellent series about sequence killers. Ed Kemper. Fuck!

Weekly episodes when it's in conjunction with a tv station. Star Trek, Peaky Blinders, Orphan Black etc. Netflix originals appear all at once.Thanks for the heads up! We also loved the first two series of this, and have just watched ep 1 of the new series. Pretty good and did not disappoint

Ah, that makes sense I guess. Still, for some reason I thought the likes of Crazy Ex Girlfriend would have been Netflix exclusive series. Never mind...

I would give credence to that if there had been a smiley.
As it is it just looks like an up-his-own-arse piece of judgemental shite from someone who has decided that if they don't like something then others are at fault for not having the same opinion. And I said 'looks like'.
For instance...that episode was called Existential Crisis...and a fair few characters had one. It was cool. Jahani's was about party planning ffs...party planning!

Loved it. Got better and better I thought.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
The Bad Batch - a watchable mess of a film set on the wrong side of the Mexican border somewhere in the future...and it's a bit bonkers.

A second vote for Mindhunter. A slow burner, no real shock or gore but the (portrayed real life) serial killers are truly disturbing when being interviewed. You get the thrill of Clarice meeting Hannibal in most episodes. Great dialogue and character progression. Reminds me of Mad Men.

My mate just got an oled and upgraded his netflix. The difference in quality is surprising and impressive.
Mine is just an LCD, budget couldn't stretch to an OLED or QLED
They looked seriously good though in Currys

The Sand Castle - surprisingly half decent war film set in Iraq where US soldiers try to fix irrigation for the locals.

I have noticed them tagging stuff as 'a netflix original series' when they've not made it themselves
