Kinda with you on Silo too. Certainly watchable, but I was hoping for a bit more this season.

I found Season 1 quite tricky. You really have to get atuned to the very black Irish humour and in the end I was on the fence about it. I loved the second season though as I had become more familiar with the style of humour. Sharon Horgan is a great writer, I think we are on for Season 3 as Apple is happy with it and it gets good numbers.

The Big Sticky 6 episodes
Weird Fargo like dark comedy, this is a 'true story' told in just a few short 25 minute episodes about the great Canadian maple leaf syrup heist of whenever it was. I liked it because of the cast mainly and especially a great cameo from Jamie Lee Curtis as a hired assassin. Worth a watch and easy to binge in one evening if you choose. 7/10

LONGLEGS (or something like that)

I was expecting some urban myth mumbo but not so.

Back in the day when a movie ends having you scratch your head, this was thought ground-braking/clever.

Now open endings are everywhere. They just drop you and you curse ,"Why have I allowed myself to be pulled into this? I thought it was all going to come together and make everything lucid , but now....''

Nothing is explained - to wit, in this instance..where does his power to force people to kill themselves come from?

You watch LAZY endings like this and you think, "Am I missing something here? This does not make sense or....am I going senile?"


No, you are not. The movie is lazy-man sh*t. That's about it.

^ This should be in the 'list/discuss recently watched movies' thread if it's the film Longlegs from 2024 --

Dune Prophecy

Beautifully shot with some really great special effects. One of those shows you can watch with the volume off and some prog playing instead Wink.  As to the story, I just didn't find it that personally engrossing. Full disclaimer, I never read those books.

Shrinking 12 episodes
Easily my favourite comedy of the last 12 months, it manages to be very rude in a subtle understated way. They make as many 'twat jokes' as 'dick jokes' and get away with it somehow! Very engaging characters and who knew that Harrison Ford could act Wink 9/10

Nautilus - I see that Disney binned this and Amazon took it up. I've read some scathing reviews too and wasn't expecting much from it. But I caught the first 2 episodes and it's actually rather good. Sure it won't win any awards and the acting, script and effects are bit off at times but it's a romp and c'mon this is Captain Nemo after all. Chances of a second season are zero, which is a shame. I'm certainly looking forward to the rest of this series though.

^ last time I looked, the rights for a second season were bought up by Stan which is an Australian streaming service. It was filmed off the coast of Australia and to date is considered the most expensive TV show ever filmed there. I loved it btw.

The Crow Girl 6 episodes (Paramount+)
Eve Myles (Torchwood) seems to be making a habit latterly of appearing as a police detective in intense psychological thrillers. Also stars great Scottish actor Dougray Scott, also becoming well known for this type of old school copper who 'gets the job done' but not always going by the book. It's well cast and based on a book by Eric Axl Sund (the pen name of 2 Swedish authors). Apparently it was guitarist Slash (yep him!) that helped bring it to the attention of Buccaneer Media for adaption and he is also credited as a co producer. Paramount+ are clearly satisfied with it and currently a second season is in production. I liked it for the very clever writing and acting dynamic between Myles and Scott as best buddies and partners. 8/10

What's funny is that I also listened to Silhouette's Seventh Wave recently (which immediately became an all-time favorite to me), and you can pretty well picture Squid Game world when listening to it, it's quite funny.

Also been watching at Conflicts tonight, the 4 first episodes (among 6). It has its qualities (typically it's mostly realistic), but also its...strange aspects... Characters are often caricatural, and for some reason (probably to avoid making the thing too spicy in the context, it was made in 2024 in Finland, showing what clearly is an invasion of Finland by Russia), the creators of the series refuse to name the enemy, and the characters keep circling around it, like the enemy is coming from Kaliningrad, in 2024, with missiles, in order to secure access to the sea, because Finland is "the door to Europe", and yet after that they keep calling them "the mysterious foreign enemy" and won't even have the idea of having a call with Moscow, it's kinda hilarious.


While I won;t say that the second season/series of Squid Game I enjoyed as much as the first, I still really like the series. And while I'm not big on reality shows generally, I actually found Squid Game: The Challenge quite excellent.

I binged the German sci-fi Cassandra yesterday on Netflix (about a 70s smart-home/AI/robot). I could have enjoyed how it played through more, but I did enjoy the show very much.



Some of my favourite shows on Netflix have been German, especially Dark which may well be my favouroite show on Netflix.

Looking forward to the next season of Alice in Borderland on Netflix, which has some similarities to Squid Game. And the final Stranger Things this year.

Justified

Tim Olyphant and Walton Goggins, Joelle Carter, Mykelti Williamson, and many more. They call it a neo-Western, but really it's just an outstanding character drama with very memorable performances. Characters are written with enough depth and human emotion that we care. Despite the crime element, human interaction is placed above action and violence, something I always appreciate. Loved it.
