Sweet action for kids 'n' cretins. Marjoram and capers.

The Watcher on Netflix. We binged all 7 episodes last night and stayed up too late. What a crazy story. Weird, creepy, fun, frustrating. Jennifer Coolidge deserves an Emmy.
2 eps in so far and enjoying it. 😎
I enjoyed it well enough. Naomi Watts :kiss:
Oh yes. 👌

Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities on Netflix is damn good stuff and perfect for people like me who hate serials that meander forever. Each episode is a stand alone in the Tales from the Crypt school. We are two episodes in and I'm looking forward to the next.

The story telling is good and they do it quick, letting you fill in the blanks. We watched the one with F. Murray Abraham last night and I've thought about it all day.

I need to rewatch the 2nd half. Played 3 games on Sunday and was pretty beat.

I thought this trailed off the last few episodes. Ep7 was a build up to...
Ep8 felt way too long and Andrew Lincoln's accent slipped a few times

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
Must-watch TV. Probably the best show currently produced in NYC.
I absolutely love this show.
Most recent show's big topic is "The Monarchy".
They do interesting stuff with their investigative reporting and mix in the attitude of Oliver. Brilliant.

I only catch it occasionally now—the covid hiatus messed with me remembering to watch it—but JO is clearly the true heir to what Jon Stewart was doing on The Daily Show, and has probably surpassed him in mixing humour and muckraking outrage. Fucking Limey.

My wife was watching while I made dinner, great stuff. But was it shown in the UK?

Interesting that its Sky that censors them, isn't Sky a Rupert Murdoch thing? Mr. Fox himself? :shifty:
I hope next week he mentions whether it was shown in the UK or not. That Churchill clip was hilarious too.

Just watched All Quiet on the Western Front. Mixed review from me. It's visually stunning (and horrifying). The acting is good. I didn't like that they deviated from the novel, especially with the ending which felt like a major deviation. It was effective as showing war as a terrifyingly pointless waste, however. Also, the decision to dub the German soldiers with English voice actors was kind of weird.

Am going to watch it this week. The film version they did with the guy out of the Waltons in the lead role was very good so I will be judging it on that. I'm a much bigger fan of story over visual effects which is why I absolutely hated the remake of Dunkirk a few years back.
