Black Mirror is supposed to have another season on the way. See @Baj's message about Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities'. Horror...not as good as Black Mirror..but not bad and the right format. Alph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyinLiverpool Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 We watched 'Devil's Hour' on Prime. Pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was like an addict when that was released. Watched last season in one sitting after definitley not organising work so I could have a day off. Because that would be sad. I tried that Oates Studio thing on Netflix. The one that's from the the same person/people that wrote District 9. Felt more like a music video. Didn't make it very far in Edited November 3, 2022 by Alpha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst since I sat through 8 years of Lost. I'm thinking of watching the last episode again, to try and work out what exactly happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostyn6 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Apologies if it’s been mentioned but I don’t recall seeing it. Brotherhood (Paramount +}. Follows a familiar formula. Irish family. One brother a lawyer and public servant, another brother a returning gangster trying to reestablish himself as top dog. Decent acting and well made if not quite groundbreaking. Only a few episodes in so it could get even better. Well worth a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 4 episodes in it disappeared. Was enjoying it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSD Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Yellowstone is quality TV. One of the few shows me and the wife can actually sit and watch together without someone having to roll their eyes. I'm there for the drama and violence. She likes the good looking blokes riding on horses. I'd look good in leather too dear, honest ? Mostyn6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I've tried 2 of Cabinet of Curiosities and I don't think I can go on. I don't find it action packed enough to be action. Witty enough to be dark comedy Gory or scary enough to be horror. It seems to be reviewing well though. But not for me, this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob The Badger Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 We didn't realise White Orchid was being drip fed in the old style after bingeing through season 1, so we moved on to Industry on Sky (I think)=, sorry Mrs Badger set it up). An interesting start and a must watch for anybody who likes stuff with an abundance of drugs and rumpy pumpy. Basically, it's set in The City and follows a bunch of graduates taken on by an investment firm. I shall report back as we get further in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
