Welcome back Larry ...
I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time.- Yes!********
- I was cry laughing this entire scene.
Brilliant writing by the goat LD.Ramanisky2 - Definitely a plop, and an absurd one.CyBrainX
- Yes!

- F'n weird.lemmy_k

This was really good. Approach with caution.

And Then There Were None
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt358…
Based on the best-selling novel of all time, the quintessential murder-mystery written by Agatha Christie. It was absolutely brilliant.
- Oh, yeah, this was great! We watched this last year on Acorn during a blizzardy weekend. Fantastic time, we were on the edge of our seats!elahon
- Next is The Pale Horse.********
- It was renamed years back. An early example of 'PC gone mad'.********
- how mad was it?pango
- Looks like a perfect winter watch, thanks!spl33nidoru

- S01 was great, i am looking forward to thisloool

Killing Eve is a funny, witty, bright show about a hilarious, soulless maniac who waxes people to pop music.
- so like Patrick Bateman?_niko
- Bateman, who is considered a dork in the movie, and happened to have imagined all that in his head, hence "This confession has meant nothing." in the end,********
- the main lead in the show gets it done. She is a really talented actor. Cool and fun show.********
- She's ace. Mind blown when I heard her actual accent.MrT
- true is funnyneverscared
- @Wordsworth He didn't imagine the killings, Brett Easton Ellis has even said this. The point of it all is that American society is psychotically self-absorbedgarbage
- ..to the point of not even taking notice nor care of a murderer's coming out party. Hence the "This confession has meant nothing."garbage
- Alright.********
- Alright!garbage
- Alright?_niko

Black Spot / Zone Blanche on Netflix.

It's stupid nonsense, but very original and entertaining stupid nonsense:
- exactly :)sted
- The dance formation parts are super cringe but I still enjoyed the storytelling.Ramanisky2

The Pale Horse
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt104…
Another fine Agatha Christie adaptation, Rufus Sewell was excellent, as always.
- How many anachronisms can you find in this picture? I'm up to three.Nairn
- Oh you :)********
- :) I meant it reverently - I lived in a village not dissimilar to this as a kid, so had a good ol' peer at it to see what I could find. They did a good job!Nairn
- The flue things on the roof and lum. PVC doors (bottom right) and, erm, the black guy?********
- It wouldnt be a 20s version of the 50s without an anachronistic black guy.********
- plash1
loving this. I know everyone's up and arms with Ted Lasso, (and i like it) but mystic quest raven's banquet is my jam.

Does Succession actually get good? I've binged the first 3 and it's been three hours of the same relentless conversation between a cast of unlikeable people! Does anything ever happen of note soon?
- No, it's not for you.palimpsest
- Not really, and this sorta shit is right up my alley. I watched the first two seasons, and every episode drones on like the last.section_014
- There's never going to be anybody to root for. Every episode is shitty people doing shitty things to each other.palimpsest
- haha, I love the show and Hayzilla is 100% correct.dopepope
- It's darkly hilarious. Greg is the best.mort_
- Are you a yoghurt-weaving, linen clad, waxed muctachio'd hipster too, Hayzilla? 'cos that was pretty much exactly my feelings about Succession too.Nairn
- They weren't even interestingly unlikeable. I was surprised I didn't much care for it, given how much I like Jesse Artmstrong's stuff. Oh well.Nairn
- Soy boys.palimpsest
- It's a sitcom, you're supposed to be laughingnb
- The only character I find interesting/funny is Shiv's wife Tom. Home Alone's brother is probably supposed to be the comedy turn but he isn't.Hayzilla
- It's like watching Wile E Coyote, you know they're gonna fail, that's not important. It's seeing the way the fail. The comedy is in the hits.palimpsest
- Every character is comedy. Imagine you're watching Peep Show. That's the vibe.nb
- Like an entire show of Johnsonnb
- Have you guys seen 'Fresh Meat' that Jesse Armstrong co-wrote? If not, do.Nairn
- +1 for Fresh Meat. But Succession is so worth sticking with. They're all twats and that's a key reason why it's great.MrT
- If you don't like the first three episodes you probably won't like the rest of the series though. It stays consistent all throughout.palimpsest
- Yes, I've seen Fresh Meat, Peep Show & Thick of it. This show is nowhere near. I think he phoned it in!Hayzilla

Is anyone else watching the live action Cowboy Bebop? It's a funny, weird show. I will have to go watch the or, now.
- I thought it was a bit like Speed Racer. the actors were a good fit, just a bit bizarre in tone.PhanLo
- Loved it. I like the different approach to the stories, Well written and acted, but big kudos to the cinematography, set design and effects!Akagiyama
- Agreed, Phan. It felt speed racery to me, too. Really enjoyed it.lemmy_k
- I'm diggin itGuyFawkes
- I find 9 out of 10 shows on Netflix to be trash. Where does this one fit?FNP14
- I love it. It’s got everything i liked about the original series so far. I honestly didn’t think they could do itscarabin
- i thought spike was 456 from squid game but i guess it's harold from harold and kumar?? sulu?? anyway, he's great in thisscarabin
- Oh, and the music is fucking amazing.Akagiyama
- I find it horrible to watch, such a lame adaptation of a great anime.ApeRobot

Does Seinfeld actually get good? I've binged the first 8 and it's been three hours of the same relentless conversation between a cast of unlikeable people! Does anything ever happen of note soon?
- nothing happens. that's the show._niko
- but probably season 3 and on they hit their groove and it's just madcap fun especially when George comes into his own and steals the show._niko
- No. Skip it and go straight to Curb.Nairn
- nb, I see what you did there.palimpsest
- oh, haha. durr.Nairn
- ^ and jerry stiller doesn't even appear as frank until season 4kingsteven
- I think we've established that the problem is not unlikable characters but the comedy.palimpsest
- wooooooooossshhhhnb
- I liked it but that was 20 years ago.SimonFFM
- Hahaha sorry nb missed the post above lol_niko
- It's pretty mediocre in the first season. George is the only character I found very annoying but life shits on him so much it's gratifying to watch him suffer.CyBrainX
- ...and that's the exact reason you skip Curb and not Seinfeld. Larry David is George Costanza and he doesn't get shit on the way George does in Seinfeld.CyBrainX
- George was literally the only interesting character in Seinfeld. THAT's why you don't skip Curb! ;)Nairn
- Oh I see what you did there. Not the same at all but fair play.Hayzilla
- _niko0
^ you've probably seen the worst of the bunch
- What's the deal with ratings?palimpsest
- I’m on season 7. Been watching one episode a day in my evening playlistscarabin
- Been enjoying it a lot but i liked always sunny in philadelphia better as far as sitcoms goscarabin
- This is exactly how I remember enjoying it.CyBrainX

Getting to the end of HBOs the leftovers
its been a real ride and a great cast.
Think it was big in the states but hardly caused a ripple here in the UK
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt269…- <loool
- I loved that show. I'm surprised how many people who hated Lost loved this show. It's very very similar.CyBrainX
- Love this show.ArmandoEstrada
- I hated lost mainly becasue it was obvious they didnt have a clue where it was going... and i feared nothing would get resolved in this too.woowahesque
- the way each of the leftovers seasons had their own flavour was brilliant.woowahesque
- mort_1
Just finished The Serpent. It’s so well made and such a fucked up story based on real events. Highly binge worthy.
- Yep.MrT
- Those airport ticker transitions every time they change timelines really highlights the quality of the show.palimpsest

Not new, but just finished rewatching this. So much better the second time around.
