Still been meaning to check this out. I watched the creator Mike Flannigan's other Netflix Horrors (Hill House, Bly Manor) and they were pretty good, especially Hill House when it came to providing creepy vibes and some good scares.

And tomorrow Midge returns!

Ya, you're right. The show's a top all-rounder: great story, acting, fx, moods, horror.

That guy has lots of gems. I'm a HUGE horror fan and as you probably know, it's slim pickings out there but most of his stuff is real quality. Can't wait for his next show, probably this one:

Meh. It should have just been a movie, a lot of filler then it gets a bit silly.

My Name Is Earl. Irreverent. Politically incorrect. But sometimes, funny as hell!

My Name is Earl was funny AF

agree completely. i was really into it for the first few episodes and then it really falls apart at the end.

UncleWede · 02-18-2022, 09:18 AM

The wheel of Time is getting a few episodes. It has all the right pieces, but not sure if I'm hooked or not

Now, Black Mirror is dark. I think I've seen 3 so far, but not in any particular order. And you thought social media was the cause. This seems to show that human condition is just fucked in general. I almost feel embarrassed watching it because of subject matter, when someone else walks into TV room

I find a lot of Netflix shows are artificially long to bolster content, the documentaries are brutal. Hernandez one, seriously could have bene cut to an hr and was like 4.5 hrs.... come on man.

Alfisti · 02-19-2022, 09:25 PM

"Woman who saw a murder in the window" or some such shit.

Garbage, aimed squarely at women, just brutal.

For All Mankind on Apple TV was absolutely fantastic.

Oh no! I just started Midnight Mass; got through 2 episodes. So, maybe it's not worth watching?

I already thought it was starting slow; but was hoping the coming episodes got more entertaining and creepy.

I did start Arcane over the weekend; maybe I'll see how that goes instead.

There's just so many shows out now that are just not worth watching.

I've got 2 episodes left so I'm comitted. Through midway, I don't think it's that bad. Not a great show overall (IMHO) but not bad. I can see how it could nose dive from here but I'll find out. Definitely has a Needful Things + Dominion vibe.

tranquility · 02-22-2022, 03:52 AM

From is pretty good 2 episodes in, nice and spooky.

M5Rick · 02-22-2022, 03:59 AM

Stagecoach West on morning tv, not in colour showing the ups and downs of a stagecoach crew in the wild west.

Jurassic World 3: Dominion

waiting for this one!

tranquility · 02-22-2022, 01:34 PM

I have a pretty unique perspective of finishing both Dexter and Dexter: New Blood all at one go (probably one of the last ppl not to have seen the former until recently). Overall, it's really good but the 2nd series seemed rushed. Funny ppl didn't like how the 1st series ended but I dunno about how the 2nd one ended...they had what 10 years and it still wasn't satisfying/didn't make much sense/seemed rushed. Lots of questions.

Alfisti · 02-22-2022, 01:35 PM

I like the way the first series finished
