  • Few episodes into Squid Game. Thought I'd see what all the fuss was about. It's different, obviously has high production values and I'm enjoying it, don't get me wrong, but I'm not really seeing why it's number 1 in 90 countries at the moment.

    Is it a little bit Emporer's new clothes?

    The boys on amazon prime is class, cant believe how few people talk about it.

    watched squid game, was very predictable i thought, could work it out straight away! Still watchable though.

    Watched the first episode of Squid Game last night... Great start and looking forward to watching a couple more episodes tonight.

    Also just watched the two seasons of the Boys over the last week on Amazon Prime - Have been tempted for a good while to watch it, but its one of those that I've just kept putting off - Was worth the wait and already looking forward to the release of Season Three
    Love The Boys, great series with some hilarious moments

    I'm 4 episodes in and love it. Personally on what I have seen so far I think the hype has been pretty justified

    Paris Police 1900 (BBC 4 & iPlayer).. slightly gothic and very explicit subtitled political drama .. love it

    The new Attenborough programme on bbc is insane. Termite queens produce an offspring every 3 seconds for 25 years 😳

    Thanks for the heads up about Chestnut Man. Really good.
    Just finished it. Great wasn't it.

    The kind of crime drama the likes of ITV consistently try and produce and fail so miserably time and time again
    This had a cracking plot that kept you guessing till the end. Well acted. Really atmospheric.

    Highly recommend.

    Finished Squid Game last week. Well worth all the rave reviews in my opinion.

    Watched 4/6 of Chestnut Man, really enjoying it.

    I'm halfway through.......my only complaint is that some of the scenes are so dark that I can only really watch it at night with lights off

    I'm three episodes into Midnight Mass from the director of The Haunting Of Hill House and The Haunting Of Bly Manor. Man alive it's dull so far, and that's factoring in the miracle with the young girl (won't spoil it).

    And I absolutely loved The Squid Game and didn't guess the final twist right at the end. Who among us guessed that the old boy was the one behind it all? As far as I was concerned, he was killed after the marbles game. Was the giveaway that he was No1?

    Anyone seen Alice in Borderland?
    Came out the end of last year.

    The synopsis reads similar to Squid Game, players face deadly games they must win to survive.
    Wondering if its worth watching?

    Did actually call this during the second episode when he was having a chat with Gi Hun outside the shop.

    Was a great way to explain why that mask remained unused, and why the host wasnt able to greet the VIPs.

    Hope we get a second season, cant see why we wont with how it ends.

    watched it last year, can't really remember anything about it other than it was quite good, certainly not on the same level as Squid Game. my wife thought it was great though

    I remember a Japanese or Korean movie called Battle Royale about 20yrs ago that I enjoyed, Squid Game is on another level though.
    Not finished it yet so I'm swerving any spoilers. The glass stepping stones episode I watched last night was giving me palpations watching.

    Got it straight away! And also got the brother of the police guy! Was dead easy imo! 

    Got it when he was no1 and when he looked like he was loving the girl shooting game nr 1. Loving it!

    I've just finished Squid Game and thought it was absolutely terrible from start to finish. Was going to give up on it after four episodes, wish I had.

    Manhunt: the night stalker, Series 2 (series 1 completely different and doesn't have to be seen first).

    Cannot recommend this enough, four parts to it, it’s about the south east London pensioner rapist, you might remember it in the papers 10/15 years ago.  It is proper tense viewing and if you live alone you’ll probably shit yourself if you hear a tap drip in the night post viewing, so you’ve been warned.  Martin Clunes is absolutely brilliant in it.

    Enjoyed The Boys. Good, silly, entertaining, action packed fun with plenty of dark humour and some shocks. Pretty enjoyable.
    The only negative is Karl Urban’s ghastly cockney accent. 
    Makes me want to cut my ears off and burn them. 😂
  • "Hornby a Model World" on Yesterday started tonight @ 9pm (10pm on +1) - Customary jokes aside its a great typical behind the scenes style programme about the Company.

    Will build by own model railway one day!!

    For those interested, every single episode of Seinfeld is now exclusively on Netflix
    It's a show... about nothing.
    This has been my comedy watch for the last few weeks. I didn't see it first time it was aired but I'm really enjoying it. It's so clever and as it was in the 90s I'm getting the nostalgia as a bonus

    Carried on with Midnight Mass. Now I realise it’s not jump-out-your-seat horror like the last two series but more of a comment on faith and a series of miracles in this close-knit Catholic community, at least I know where I stand.

    Just watched the marbles episode. Think I have something in my eye 😭

    I know that it was not intended but I wonder whether "Spoilers" should be on a different thread. I'm watching Squid Game and saw the word spoiler alert and my eye was immediately , on its own volition drawn to the content. The same idea as saying to yourself " Don't think of an elephant"

    That was the OG of these type of media as far as I know - hence any games or shows after being referred to as a Battle Royale mode. Was great fun though I saw some of it again recently and the action did not stack up the same!
