wordsfromlee Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I watched The Sinner on Netflix over the weekend which I thought was pretty damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 So I'd never heard of Love on Netflix, but wanted something kind of romantic and easy to watch so stuck it on with no idea of what it was about and what a little gem! I know Gillian Jacobs from Community, and she's an absolute babe and really excellent as Mickey, nailing her characters neuroses and anxieties. I'd never heard of Paul Rust before and I don't think I've ever seen him in anything, but he's great as super nice guy Gus, and the show is just really lovely to be honest. You can tell that Judd Apatow is involved, and whilst it hasn't raised any actual belly laughs from me, it is very funny, has a smart script and one episode ended with Just A Friend by Biz Markie which is an all time classic. Claudia O'Doherty is really sweet as Mickey's room mate. It has really cheered me up the last few days, so I recommend it if you want a bit of a 'Oh-maybe-true-love-DOES-exist' vibe (having said that, I've only watched series 1 so far and there is another to watch, and a 3rd that has just been commissioned as well) the kiss at the end of series 1 might be the most sincere, romantic kiss I've ever seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, Just general chatter at work during lunch, my female manager and a couple of other seniors were talking about Netflix, what to watch and one of them said something that triggered me to suggest Love. The next morning they came in and just looked at me like a perverted freak... they ended up accidentally watching the film on Netflix with the same name, which starts with a full on uncensored, up close blow job scene, including spunk dripping off her chin. Nice one. Edited February 11, 2018 by Kaz Hayashi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s a very accurate summary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The place I work stops at 12:15 so we can all watch it. Likewise. It's always on telly in the canteen, and I've taken to working my lunch breaks out around it. Natasha Raskin is my daytime telly crush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members PunkStep Posted February 12, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted February 12, 2018 This has potential to be bloody brilliant: Like a modern day Knowing Me Knowing You with the desperate older character we know from I'm Alan Partridge.

Mr_Danger Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I quite enjoyed Altered Carbon. It's a bit messy and convoluted in parts but if you can get past Joel Kinnamans lingering arse/player lines shots then theres plenty of good stuff in there. You also see a bit (lot) of full frontal from ex Neighbour Katya Kinski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Finished up Everything Sucks! on Netflix, a lovely little show. There are some nice nostalgic touches, but it is NOT Freaks and Geeks or Stranger Things Part 2, as some people have dubbed it, if that's putting anyone off. It actually reminded me of Malcolm In The Middle or The Goldbergs more than those shows. The direction is a bit wonky sometimes, but the leads, especially Peyton Kennedy and Jahi Di'Allo Winston are really bloody good. Kennedy especially, who for 14 years of age, shows a performance of massive maturity. Marked out hearing Popular by Nada Surf as well. In fact, the whole soundtrack is excellent.

METAL ON METAL Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Echo that. Everything Sucks! is a really fun and sincere show that balances the comedy and the seriousness pretty well, also at 30 mins an episode it makes it an easy watch. Well cast and well acted in pretty much every role (McQuaid being a favourite of mine outside of the leads) and a soundtrack that makes you reminisce of the 90's. I chucked it on by chance just intending to have some background noise while doing some work, ended up taking notice immediately and binging all 10 episodes in one go. Hopefully gets a second season.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 20, 2018 Moderators Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) Seriously? I stuck it on and didn't make it more than five minutes it because I thought it was fucking terrible. Trying to be like the Goldbergs for the 90s but with none of the charm, or decent writing. The intro music alone was so fucking hacky in a "look at all this stuff from the 90s" way it really turned me off. Maybe I'll have to go back and give it more of a chance. But I suspect I'm right and the two of you have rubbish taste! Edited February 20, 2018 by Chest Rockwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
