May Contain Nuts Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) Not something I'd normally watch (Anime) but I've really enjoyed Demon Slayer on Netflix. Pretty standard basic premise tbh, boy returns home to find his family slaughtered by a Demon, his sister's alive but turns half-demon, boy swears vengeance, trains to become a demon slayer himself never leaving his sister's side. As I said pretty standard but it's got some great animation, good fight scenes, decent sense of humour, interesting opponents and sympathetic characters. 26x 20 minute episodes in S1 keep it moving briskly and make it an easy binge Edited March 18, 2021 by Coconut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Now we've seen all 15 series of 'Criminal Minds' (324 episodes), we decided to watch 'Orphan Black'. Loving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariotofmyown Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Finished Homeland last week. Maybe the best and most satisfying ending of any long running series. That or Six Feet Under. Anyone who gave up around series 2 or 3, you've missed a brilliant series. Series 4 onwards was almost a different show. It's rare a series keeps on getting better the longer it goes on, but this did. My only issue was I kept forgetting what the Russian spy had done previously in Homeland vs what the same character had done as a Russian spy in The Americans. He was great in both similar roles though! OoooMarkWright 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariotofmyown Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Just now, Eddie said: Netflix? Yeah. All on there. Modern spy/special ops/terrorist type of thing if you don't know much about it. Eddie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as me, I'm not really an anime person, but this was brilliant. The animation during the fight scenes is amazing. May Contain Nuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm now a few episodes into Dorohedoro, which is also excellent... and very weird. It's another somewhat gory one. Some bloke's had a curse put on him giving him a lizard head and no memory of his former self (I mean I can't even tell you the number of times that's happened to me) so naturally he's on a quest to find out who did this to him. Set in 'the hole', a deprived area where scorcerers openly experiment on the citizens, and the more opulent (but also very strange, lots of mushrooms) world of the scorcerers themselves. Good / fitting music too.. Jubbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomBustler1884 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Anybody watched Surviving Death on Netflix? A lot that is a bit dubious to say the least, but the last episode on Reincarnation? Oh my word, heard enough in that one to be totally convinced. When I was little, I was taken to an Iron Age hillfort in Wales. Walking around I very calmly, confidently and clearly explained to my parents where I lived, which houses were which and what happened in each one. After researching it later, it seems I was pretty accurate and couldn't have known beforehand. Anyone had any episodes like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester40 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Your Honor. Half way through. Better than reviews would have lead me to believe. Interesting premise, leading to some convincing scenarios but just trying too hard with too some unnecessary twists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few eps into 89 now and really enjoying it. Finished Deutschland 89 last night - without spoilers for anyone, I thought the ending was very well done and packed a real emotional punch. Really enjoyed this last series much more than 86 ThePrisoner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if I could just pour any old poo into a big cauldron, stir it up a bit for a couple of hours and make 70L / 123 pints any 'potion' I desired.

Some of the Maris Otter malt I've used in the past has been decidedly poo (mind you, it was only £15 a sack), but a few pounds of candi sugar in the boil tends to help matters along nicely, especially if you are using Wyeast strain 1388.

Anag Ram Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Surprised we're not all talking about the latest series of Line of Duty. Record viewing figures suggest a large proportion of us must be watching it. General reaction has been a bit meh for the first two episodes. I'm hanging in there having watched them all from the first series many years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
