[TV] Netflix - What's good to watch?

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I second 1899. Gripped from start to finish and really hope that a 2nd season is being lined up. The show is dubbed but it in no way took away from my enjoyment of the series.

I enjoyed 1899 also. But I think that a 2nd season would be detrimental to the central idea. Tho having said that, the same makers spun the very excellent 'Dark' out to 3 seasons, so who knows?

I understand your thoughts completely and would love to discuss this further but i don't want to give anything away... What i will say is that for me personally there are still questions to be answered and lots of them

Anyone else seen The Cabinet Of Curiosities ? Watched the 1st two episodes and have to say I've enjoyed them. 2nd one made me jump out 9f skin watchiwitn headphones on

Starts off well but then remaining tales are a bit patchy

Off topic (Netflix), The White Lotus Series 2 has been a great watch. The final episode literally left me jaw dropped.

Absolutely agree. Brilliant watch

I've watched the first Wednesday, after a bit of thought I've decided it's a little too 'April Ludgate', which is fine esp if you don't know Ms Ludgate's character.
Dunno if I'll carry on.

That's interesting. I have a friend who works in the Parks Department in our city here in Indiana and every so often she would say "I think I'm having a Ludgate moment." It took a while for me to realize which character on which television show she was referring to when she said that.

Can I tip you the wink about The Lazarus Project? Bit of an 1899 vibe going on, but encapsulated in a Netflix 90 minute movie. It's pretty decent IMHO

Just come on here after watching the first episode, looks like a crock of shite so far. The Captain of the ship seems to have no rank insignia, no cap and a fondness for aimlessly wandering the aft weather deck for no apparent reason. Does it get any better ?

I've just finished 1st episode too and think likewise. Well maybe not bothered by the Captain but nothing much holding my interest. Clearly all the main characters are running from something or have something to hide but I'm not sure how bothered I am to find out what

That's pretty much my feeling too, I'm struggling to have any connection or interest in the characters too. The lady " Doctor " who unwinds the pregnant woman's umbilical cord with a bit of massage despite a, being a self confessed trained mental health doctor rather than an Obsetrician, b, being unable to practice as a doctor because she is a woman and c, appears to be early twenties in age is surprisingly adept.

Each to their own i guess chaps... It would be very boring if we all liked the same thing.

First rule of Flix Club - if it’s got a large ‘N’ on the preview graphic you might want to give it a swerve.

Thought episode one was terrible. Didn’t watch any others.

There are exceptions (Sex Education, The Trial of the Chicago Seven, The Dig), but in general you may be onto something

Indeed. Loved Power of the Dog (many didn’t).

I watched the first one this afternoon. Other than Daniel Craig's silly accent, it was very good. Will watch this one later.

You just cannae go wrong with Gladiator. Something in my eye at the end. The CGI work on Oliver Reed is quite something. Epic watch no matter how many times you’ve seen it.

Can’t be worse than his ‘very clipped’ South African accent in Munich surely?

I just watched All Quiet on the Western Front, to cheer me up after Christmas.
