Just watched 'If anything happens I love you' on Netflix. Short animated film. Only about 10 minutes long but very moving.

Got very dusty in my living room whilst watching it.

New of the World. Tom Hanks made the film worth watching, but it was a very predictable story. I couldn't help thinking if it was a lesser actor in the lead role, I might have bailed on it? Great supporting acting from his young co-star Helena Zengel.

Love death and robots on Netflix.

Its an anthology series of animated Sci Fi shorts. Some funny, some thought provoking and some just OK.

Its easy to dip into and rattle a couple off while you're getting ready for work or whatever on a morning.

From memory lasy series had 18 episodes (all stand alone and not tied in any significant plot dependant way) and this year added another 8.

I prefer the term 'quiche', if you don't mind.

Papillon. The new one/remake. I've seen the old one but don't remember it, so I had the luxury of not making comparisons. It was quite good, enjoyable really, if a little too long.

New series of Fargo on CH4.
The usual offbeat black humour stuff.
Being on CH4 theres a LOT of adverts but so far (two episodes in anyway) its as good as the other two series.
IIRC the other 3 series are on Netflix so you can watch those without the same crappy adverts being so intrusive.

No spaceships though.

Danger Will Robinson...

A modern day remake of the old 60s ish series.

Only 1 episode in, but i quite enjoyed it.
Downloaded the whole series yonks ago and only seen E1.
Did you spot that Dr Smith was played by Billy Mumy, who was the original Will Robinson.

Anyone mentioned The Boys yet, or Good Omens

Anyone watching 'Fauda' (Netflix)?

Some real tense bits, but the plotlines seem farcical at times, vendettas, kidnapping, summary executions, and that's just the Police unit.

The Hateful Eight. I think for about every 15 minutes or so, I decide to bail on it, but have kept watching? I always think Tarantino's stuff is protracted crap, but normally end up seeing it to the end. :wtf:
