I quite liked it

I sort of liked it, in the same way I liked the Straight Story!

"The Residence" on Netflix.

Nearly finished it: enjoyable - it's essentially an episodic version of a "Knives-out" type detective drama with comedic themes, with a definite "Clue" influence, if you like that sort of thing.

It's a bit on the slow side .... I'm trying... but it's not exactly grabbing me by the balls.

Oh.... well considering i'm not heavily into series 1.... maybe 2 isn't the best

I started Girl Taken, but then found we don't have paramount and we only have 1 episode.

I'm quite enjoying it, only on S1E4 but happy so far.

It's not a bad series but worrying, people like that actually exist in this world.

I liked TRON:Ares but the bad reviews had prepared me so I wasn't expecting too much.

Slow start but good twist. But you ahve to be a fan of old B&W films get their production styles i guess...

Wasn't bad as such, but a bit of a let down. A bit of a poor mans Mr & Mrs Smith...

It's a remake of 1989's War of the roses.

Where Cathleen Turner squishes Michael Douglas' car (that's the only bit I remember).
