    watched a Netflix documentary last night called 'Abducted in Plain Sight'

    recommended to my missus by someone at work, so I thought why not and we watched it - only 90 mins long.......you literally couldn't have made it up if you tried

    anyone seen it?

    I watched it yesterday. 
    The parents (as they are now) seemed reasonably sensible.
    I'm dumbfounded how they were so idiotic time and time and time again.
    Beggared belief.

    Black sails anyone? Just started watching it as Mrs SB is into pirates. Quite enjoyed episode 1 but don’t think it’s going to hold my attention.
    Loved Black Sails. Want sure at first either but really enjoyed it and wish I hadn't seen it so I could watch it again from the start

    Cheers. I’ll persevere.

    I have been watching Riverdale on Netflix, similar audience to 13 reasons why. 3 seasons but next one starts the end of the month, 9 episodes in the first season and i enjoy it. 

    I was binging the other week but only just got internet at the new place, i dont really want to give the plot away but anyone who likes 13 reasons why will enjoy it IMO
    Whist the first season is watchable, it gets pretty awful after that, with the current season being terrible. 13RW was miles better, imo.

    The wife loves it though so I'm stuck with it once a week, she loves garbage lile this, but won't watch The Wire  cos its 'old' MADNESS.

    Completed season 3 of Narcos tonight. Not as good as the first two but still enjoyable.

    Mexico awaits, but might give it a break first

    I've watched the first couple of episodes of Russian Doll. Excellent so far.
    Same hear.  Weird but excellent.
    Just finished it.  Loved it.  Hope they never think of doing another season.

    Finished Russian Doll last night, really enjoyed it, completely different to any programme I've watched before. worth a watch
    Tried watching it.....but it was just one reveal after another....after another....after another 

    ;)
    I hate Russian Dolls.

    They are full of themselves.
    Get yourself over to the Jokes thread and you can see that at least twice.

    The Punisher, Season 2, Episode 1.  Very violent, sets up what I presume will be the story for the season.  Jon Bernthal is does a nice line in monosyllabic.  Thoroughly enjoyable, but did I mention it's very violent.
    Started the new season myself last night, loved that first episode. Bernthal is the perfect Punisher, can't imagine a better casting. I wasn't upset about any of the other Netflix Marvel shows being cut, but when Punisher inevitably bites the bullet it'll be a sad day. It's the best of the lot for me.

    Apologies if mentioned before but I've just watched the first series of The Last Kingdom and every time I see Ubba I thought Simon Jordan. Very off putting but great acting and loving it. 

    Not seen Vikings yet, how do they compare?

    Vikings I would describe as a more serious, more violent version of The Last Kingdom, but from about 50 years before TLK. I love it, find TLK a bit cheesy sometimes but Vikings is excellent.

    I think Vikings has lost it's way, while TLK really found it's stride last season.

    I agree last season of Vikings was a bit weaker, but its lost its figurehead a couple seasons ago. I do think it needs to wrap up soon. 

    Forgot about the new season of TLK need dig into that.

    The Last Kingdom season 1 and 2 were ok but they were made on a BBC budget and it showed. Season 3 was far better for the Netflix cash injection. I still prefer Vikings but it's not the same since the snake pit scene.

    Thanks. I'll give Vikings a go after TLK.

    Sex Education on Netflix was brilliant. Emma Mackey who plays Maeve Wiley is stunning!!

    could you give an opinion after a few episodes please? I'd like to watch this but I'm worried about it ruining the movie for me as it's firmly in my top 10 all-time

    pretty sure this was mentioned a while ago on the thread- just binge watched Maniac, it's a gloriously weird series that reminded me a lot of Brazil. highly recommended

    will do. probably catch another episode tomorrow. have to say it would be pretty difficult to be as good as the original series/film as that was superb. it certainly doesn't have the same claustrophobic and harrowing feel to it.  
    Thats why i think it's a good idea to base it a year after those events, to keep the production German (though Sky have produced it) and to have two major plots. (slight spoiler though you find this out in the first episode) one part of the plot is about a new sub crew and the other plot line is about the French resistance.

    problem so far is that the characters are a bit wooden. still i'll keep with it and say what i think of it at a later date.

    My wife loved Das Boot the film so we started this at the weekend. I got up to the point where I saw Jaqen H'Gar and my mind melted, ironically I couldn't place the many faced god! 

    It seems ok so far, I have never seen the film but I like the fact we can watch from the perspective of German sailors and I picked up the French ok to distinguish a different set of characters were in play. 

    White Gold is returning soon and Game of Thrones is now closer than my next holiday which excites me. I just hope George RR Martin manages to live long enough to finish and publish the books

    For sci fi fans The Expanse on Amazon is well worth a go. Is on season 3 and has been renewed for a 4th.

    I think this is the best sci-fi being made at the moment imo. It pivots each season into something new and gets bigger in scope. Thomas Jane is fantastic as Miller.

    Catastrophe........loved this comedy. Not sure about the ending tonight. Did they drown?

    It won’t win any awards, but there is something agreeable to me about Living The Dream. Find it very silly but a comfortable watch, helped by some excellent lead characters.
