I loved Finding Alice. Loved the black humour & the fact she lives in a "smart" house but can't work simple things like lights & curtains. Maybe its because I'm not into new fangled things like heating you can operate from your phone or seeing people at your door when you are miles away at work - so can see how someone like me would get worked up about it all. Also how she is grief stricken in her own way - not wailing but matter of factly getting on with stuff, but then not behaving "nicely" to hospital staff & undertakers.Covered End said:

Her "husband" (obviously not married so that will be a factor regarding money, house etc) is a wrong 'un and obviously deep in debt so has done some dodgy stuff regarding house ownership.

I binged in one night and definately had some right dodgy dreams. Not only that although i didn't mind it but i would warn anyone as its so disturbing and also could be triggers for some. Not sure i could recommend it personally.AFKABartram said:
Not sure I’d be able to watch that and sleep afterValleyGary said:Night Stalker on Netflix. About Richard Ramirez, 4 part documentary. So well made.
Edit- Ref: Nightstalker (netflix) Creepy AF

Watched last night ... very good as was the documentaryLincsaddick said:Pembrokeshire Murders .. top class 3 parter based on fact .. followed by a documentary backing up the 'drama'2 -
Keith Allen was brilliant, really chilling to watch. I didn't know much about the true story beforehand, so found it very interesting.Lincsaddick said:Pembrokeshire Murders .. top class 3 parter based on fact .. followed by a documentary backing up the 'drama'3 -
Ted Lasso on Apple TV is a bit hit and miss after a few episodes. There’s definitely been worse shows based on football. Chris Powell cameo was good to see.1

Oh sure I know it was “legit”. I just thought it was a bit pathetic that they couldnt adjust the storyline enough to hold the interest of viewers like me who who had already watched The Bridge.Leroy Ambrose said:

The Tunnel was a blatant rip-off of The Bridge, although not bad if you had not seen The Bridge. Series 1 even had much the same characters and story-line, transposed to an England-France setting. Didn't bother after S1, it gave me the hump. The Bridge has been the "inspiration" for several other dramas based around borders and police on both sides of the border there's that Finnish series that I found just too relentlessly grim, and a More 4 called Nordic Murders set on the German/Polish coastal border. I watched it all but mainly because we've been there on holiday. The Germans are basically useless with TV drama, I've concluded. I've already given up on two German series on Netflix.SuedeAdidas said:

I guess they knew they were buying a show with a good storyline etc & that most viewers on Sky wouldn't have caught a subtitled foreign drama on what, BBC 4? So they left it as it was, effectively.PragueAddick said:

I've only watched the first episode, I found It a painful experience. It's obviously a cliche of early the early sitcom. Surely they cannot keep this up for the whole series? Is it setting something up?ForeverAddickted said:Started watching WandaVision on Disney+ today
First two episodes released today with them out on a weekly basis a bit like the Mandalorian - Its good to have the MCU back, especially seeing how things will go now the first story is pretty much over.
Can only describe their first foray into a TV show style format (Plenty more are coming) as bizarre, kind of took that from the trailers anyway but where the story is going with this has yet to truly be revealed.
Quite an interesting approach though with each episode in the form of a sitcom through the decades so the first two were in the 50s and 60s, shot in Black and White and with a proper studio audience for the laughter etc.

Knowing the MCU they're usually setting it up for something... Especially as this (and their other TV shows) will lead into the next round of films that are currently in production.PopIcon said:

Hopefully the episode released tomorrow will tell a lot more but rumours are that Wanda is either making this all up herself and is controlling the town after having a breakdown or someone else unknown is controlling her1 - Sponsored links:

Scream (Netflix Series)
I have started watching this the last couple of nights, needed something different, quite enjoying it so far. Its not amazing but decent enough. It has similarities to the original film, but its not based on it. I am about 5 episodes in, so recommend it if you need something easy to watch and dont mind a slight horror, is say slight its not scary just the odd jumpy moment. 6.5/100 -
the trailers have totally put me off of even trying to watch it.PopIcon said:

Is it a different style of tv programme in the next few episodes ?0 -
Managed about 20 mins of WandaVision. Thought it was a pile of shite and my thoughts from the trailer/advert were accurate. I like MCU but have always thought this next stage wouldn't be for me anyway.1

It seems that they're going through the decades in some fake type sitcom so could well stick to a similar theme for a few weeks as there are nine episodes in total - Might well be worth waiting till all have been released and then watching in a row.MrOneLung said:

As I'm a MASSIVE fan of the MCU but even at the moment, these first episodes arent really explaining anything from the previous films, nor can I see a way into the next group of them, I know it will come, just depends when so am happy to see each week what happens. For others though I can see where the frustration waiting for something to happen could come from0 -
The least expected day - Netflix
Series documenting the 2019 season for cycling team Movistar. Well worth a watch if you have any interest in cycling as it gives a good background into the preparation for the tours and the team dynamics. Beautifully shot and makes you appreciate how tough the sport is.

The next Spider-Man entry should be quite interesting given the cast that have signed upcafcfan1990 said:Managed about 20 mins of WandaVision.

I'm presuming that the events from WandaVision and the next Doctor Strange will be the lead up to that
But yeah there are a lot of films in this next phase that I'll watch but not overly eager for1 -

Tried to start No Man's Land but don't really want to pay for Starzplay so hopefully it shows up on something else soon.Leeds_Addick said:
Watched it last Summer and absolutely loved it, just as I'm loving Caliphate at the moment. Only 2 episodes lefteaststandmike said:
You can add Fauda to that list as well.bolloxbolder said:
Caliphate is outstanding. If you enjoy it check out No Man's Land on Starzplay.Leeds_Addick said:Surprised a few didn't like The Serpent, I was gripped the whole way through.
Just started Caliphate, first episode was promising.
Going to start Gomorrah tonight which I'm looking forward to0 -

Many serial killers manage to blend into the background undetected. This fella would have screamed 'serial killer' from the moment you laid eyes on him!
And he didn't try to hide it. How he managed to dodge the old bill for so long is unreal.
The epitome of what you would expect a serial killer to look and act like.1 -
He is, also Devil like.. however if presented in a different story/ or film he was quite good looking too, was adored so had something about him but to the viewer as he is a serial killer and all the demon talk instantly makes you relate to that.carly burn said:

Evem though i have watched pretty much all the films and enjoy them even i had to google MCU, maybe sometimes its best to be quiet Golfie everyone is entitled to their opinion and doesn't harm anyone.3 -
Nothing wrong with comics / graphic novels ... whatever you want to call them.Got loads of them myself, although not the MCU titles.3

See, I wouldn't ever read a comic but I am partial to the marvel superhero films2
