Ten mins in and I turned off in disgust. Laughable dialogue, strange direction and a horrible English accent......I'm prepared to reconsider it... but what I saw was making me cringe.... I got halfway through the first episode - not sure I'll bother going back to it - in particular struggled with the French teacher who looks like Catherine Tate and has an accent that Allo Allo would have been embarrassed to employ (even though she is a French actress)....

Highgate Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 La Casa De Papel (Money Heist) on Netflix. Spanish with English subtitles. The plot is over the top ridiculous, but I must admit I'm really enjoying it so far. Berlin might be the most enjoyable 'bad guy' character since Gustavo Fring in Breaking Bad.

Well worth sticking with. As you say, the plot is over the top ridiculous but passes the time away enjoyably. Another one worth a watch is Vis a Vis (Locked up in English) which was mentioned on here a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 watching season 2 of 13 Reasons Why. About 8 episodes in. It's so powerful and emotional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Well, I finally made it through all three series of Under The Dome. Brilliantly awful in a truly dreadful excruciating Plan Nine From Outer Space way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's British. I really liked Safe. Couldn't understand why they had to have an American actor in the lead though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read a synopsis of what happens in the series. What a load of old tripe. Sounds like a confusing mess. The book isn't exactly original, but it's different to what happens in the series, for the better I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last episode of Season 1 shocked me to the core, it was so painful to watch and I cried a lot, and thought about it for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was genuinely disturbed by it last night, went to watch Solo straight after it and I swear it ruined that film (although it wasn’t very good) if you take no notice of me and do watch it let me know what you think.

Doesn't sound like something I'd enjoy watching. I prefer to be ignorant if I am honest. I will deliberate on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
