Eddie Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Currently watching "Between" - a cross between Stephen King's "Under The Dome" and William Golding's "Lord Of The Flies". A village is quarantined because all the adults are dying. Pretty crap really. Bob The Badger and therealhantsram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I missed out there. Without the last line it would have qualified as a 'cliffhanger' and I could have wangled another series out of it.

I don’t know who did that critique, but they might not have been watching it after consuming 3 bottles of Belgian anti-freeze.

I love the genre. i-Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 One episode in... It's Scandawegian noir which begins with a fit, naked lady walking out of an erupting volcano with only a bit of volcanic ash to preserve her modesty. No idea at all what might have sparked @Eddie's interest ? Eddie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really enjoyed it in a "Still trying to work out wtf is going on" sort of way. Open-ended - I hope they make a second series. Now moved on to 'Unit 42', a Belgian television show featured on Netflix (English dubbing and subtitles) where an ex-cop and a hacker team up to fight cybercrime. Not quite "Life, the universe and everything", but pretty good so far. Edited June 22, 2021 by Eddie Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open-ended - I hope they make a second series. Really liked it. Think Grima gives the most plausible explanation herself. Also, the very last frame seems to strongly hint what comes next I thought, so second series seems likely. Thanks for the tip! Eddie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4derby Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Sweet Tooth (Netflix) based on a series of DC comics. Without going into too much detail - post-apocalyptic world, virus that’s bad, hybrid children being born, is there a link? Its a 12, so despite being based on a graphic novel, and having some mature themes, it’s not too gory. Quite slow paced, only 8 episodes so not too much commitment either. Found it an easy watch, and characters develop over time so you like some by the end. Gareth Roberts/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a few violent moments, but you don’t really see much gore. It’s cleverly filmed. It’s centred around a boy, and the gritty world is seen through his eyes for the majority, so I’d say it’s ok. The biggest issues might be the mature themes, including how people handle those who are ‘sick’. If your girls are ok with fantasy stuff, and threat to people getting hurt (without seeing too much of it) then they’ll probably be ok. Trying to explain without putting spoilers in!

Thanks, that helps. Recently watched and were fine with Hunger Games and Divergent so sounds like this will be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, those are really good comparisons. Similar themes. Enjoy! BucksRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
