Great shows - currently on season 2 of The Punisher. Such a shame Netflix cancelled the lot all at once when Disney+ came along. Season 1 of Jessica Jones was immense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Just finished watching “The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window” and can honestly say it’s one of the top 10 stupidest things I’ve ever seen. However, if you accept that it’s actually just a comedy from the half way point, it’s very, very enjoyable. The opening 10 minutes of the last episode are some of the most ludicrously funny shit I’ve ever seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed it and knew from the title alone it was going to be a spoof of all the recent Girl On The Train type psychological murder mysteries. I liked all the running gags and there were a few Airplane! type one liners, thought Kristen Bell played the part well. The Glenn Close cameo at the end sets it up nicely for a second series.

Bonksy+HisChristianParade Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Just watched ‘The Tinder Swindler’ and spent almost the entire thing in shock about how stupid they had been. The Dutch woman getting revenge was pretty funny though. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 My wife watching this on Monday. I started but kept falling asleep during episode one. I woke for episode Spoiler the way their kid died...jesus christ surely they could have thought of something less unlikely... then the actual fight scene at the end - its a kid..kick her in the head two but thought it was a p*ss take...its truly terrible. I actually thought it was a spoof at one point.Just finished watching “The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window” and can honestly say it’s one of the top 10 stupidest things I’ve ever seen.

It was ridiculous, sure, but fairly consistently ridiculous. I confess I spent a fair bit of the first two episodes trying to work out where I recognized the male lead from without resorting to IMDB. Cracked it, eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I haven't watched it but the title alone suggested to me it was clearly a spoof film. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about OD'd on the amount of neon light! Every element felt like so much work was put into it. The characters, the plot, and especially as you saw the animation. Next level stuff. What's really enticing is this feels like only a small part of a bigger world. This show really could go places. Biggest downside is it might take a while to get a 2nd season if they want to match/or dare I say better that quality of animation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 The Tinder Swindler is a remarkable watch. I mean, whilst what his victims suffered - and are still suffering - is obviously terrible, I struggled to digest the naivety of some of the women involved. Cecilie, the Norwegian woman, was especially naive. There were more red flags than a Chinese military parade, but she was entirely unquestioning for the most part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it have a conclusion or is it like so many of these online detective style documentaries where it's a bunch of fannies running around with no end product? The trailer looked decent enough but if the guy has fucked off to Uganda and they're just sitting talking about what he did then it'll be a miss for me. If you can answer that without spoilers [emoji38] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can answer that without spoilers Erm, it does kind of have a conclusion, in a way. It is two hours of mostly storytelling, but it develops at a sufficient pace to keep you interested. I did find some of it mildly amusing, too, especially some of the sheer naivety on display, but it is possible that I just lack some empathy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Witcher season 2 has been pretty good. Although I'm not really into the Yennefer, elf, MILFguard storyline. I just want to see titties and monsters getting killed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik's tongue Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I’ve been watching The Sinner. Stars Bill Pullman. Series 1 was fantastic. Series 2 a bit meh and series 3 also fantastic. Starting the final series this weekend. If you like dark, psychological crime thrillers you’ll enjoy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
