oh fuck yeah thats the Master from Who. Excellent, I knew I recognized the face from somewhere
I used to wish I had a best friend that would come in through the window.

Apparently Melissa Joan Hart has grown up to be a bit of twat :(
urh, bit like Kevin Sorbo (Hercules, Xena, Andromeda)? he's turned out to be a massive maga cunt

...also Dean Cain from Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. Massive right wing cunts all of them.

Originally Sabrina was a character in the Archie comics, which have been going since the 1940s. She got her own spin-off comic which the 90s sitcom was based on. The fairly recent TV series Riverdale is an updated, more adult take on the Archie comics and has a noir/Twin Peaks quality to it, built around a murder mystery. That led to a Riverdale comic book adaptation, which got its own more horror-infused Sabrina spin-off, of which this series is an adaptation. Sabrina was originally supposed to appear in Riverdale to lead into the spin-off series but eventually they decided to develop the series separately.

This looks like fun and it got good reviews, so I'll check it out.
 
I actually love Riverdale too. :oops:

It's my guilty pleasure. I loved the first series and this series so far has been brilliant. Thought the second was a blah at points tbh but I stuck with it cos I wanted to know what happened to the characters. Bettys mum seems totally off her rocker and I can wait to see how this whole game thing develops :cool:
 
I have just watched a Mexican show called La Casa de las Flores(House of Flowers). A fun show that depicts a dysfunctional upper-class Mexican family that owns a prestigious flower shop.
 
I had seen Norsemen available on Netflix but assumed it was something like Vikings. "Serious" drama with lots of sex and violence.
But then I caught a bit of the trailer (when you hover over the programme) and saw that it was a comedy.
I looked it up on IMDB and saw that it was written by Norwegians and all the actors were Norwegian but then when I watched an episode it was all in spoken English, not dubbed.
I was a little confused.
It seems to be a bit of a satire/piss take of both misconceived ideas about Vikings and also modern social issues. The comedy coming from the clash/juxtaposition of the two.
I have watched the first series and still don't really know what to make of it to be honest. :hmm:

Having just looked at the Wikipedia page for it, it seems that they simultaneously filmed the whole lot in Norwegian and English. Like the Beeb did in both English and Welsh for, oh damn it what was it called... Hinterland.

There are a lot of familiar faces from the brilliant Lilyhammer if anyone saw that.

Sorry if this has already been discussed at length and I missed it :oops:

Watched the first couple. Tickled that the Norwegian PM from Occupied was the chief.

Enjoyed it. But not enough to binge it. Will watch it sparingly.
 
Watched Apostle last night, really disappointing. Shite acting, the lead fellow was terrible and none of it made any sense. Felt like a Sunday evening ITV drama, with some unnecessary gore thrown in.

Loved Hill House though, the family drama elements fitted in with the horror bits very well and the way it was filmed was great. And it's got Elliott from ET in it. :thumbs:

I've just started watching this - I like it - it's funny :D
 
Watched two episodes of Sabrina, didn't rate it much but I'm very much not the target audience.
It's... fun. I need a bit of fluff in my life, especially since Series 3 of The Good Place has been pretty "meh". Same reason I have Ah-Ha in a playlist, to put a stupid grin on my face, bob my head along with it, and not care about how none of it makes any sense at all.
 
season 4 of Line of Duty is on netflix now. Nearly finished it - its good - but not as good as season 3. Love the tense interview scenes - but too much convoluted bollocks.
 
I liked Sabrina, it did have a Buffy vibe to it, that's probably why I liked it. Also, lots of people hating the blurry shots (imdb reviews) but I actually like them, I like the sense of depth it gives and the atmosphere they create. A good teen drama/horror effort. Will watch S2 when it comes out!
 
There's a show just popped up on Netflix called Salvation. The premise piqued my interest: a young MIT grad student discovers an asteroid headed for impact with the Earth in six months time - an Extinction Level Event - but the government knows too and is keeping it quiet. OK, that's been done before, but it can be fun.

Reader, it is not fun.

It's the biggest load of scientifically illiterate, techno-libertarian-billionaire-superhero wank I've ever seen. "The government can't develop a working EM drive in two days, but I - a thinly disguised Elon Musk-alike - can!"

It makes Armageddon look like a quiet, thoughtful meditation on mortality, endeavour and sacrifice in comparison.

Avoid.
I absolutely loved this :oops: both seasons.
 
I can't figure out what decade Sabrina is supposed to be set it? I'm sure it was done on purpose. 1960s cars & clothes, but also mobile phones, wired phones and references to movies from various decades.

Ah, last time I googled this wasn't coming up When Does Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Actually Take Place?
The comic it’s based on was set in the 60s. This does the David Lynch thing where the decades merge between a reference point and the present. Blue Velvet for instance is set somewhere between the 50s and the 80s.
