The Woman in Cabin 10.
Disappointing shite. Despite the decent cast. Wasted.

Go watch Black Doves instead - now that was decent!

Dark Winds on Netflix, set in the 70's on a Navajo Reservation (West World territory), little bit of Indian magic and criminality. Most enjoyable easy watch. Season 1 on Netflix, but a quick wiki says there are two more seasons.

The Woman in Cabin 10. Ridiculous of course, but an easy watch.

The Sense of an Ending. It kept flicking back and forth and i'd had too much wine to keep up with it, but i think it was good?

Gave Task https://www.imdb.com/title/tt28013708/ a go, made it an episode and a half before pulling the plug, it's just so slow

The Terminal List: Dark Wolf https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26576161/? ... rminal%20l might have legs, Star Lord does wet work for the CIA

Goliath https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4687880/?ref_=fn_all_ttl_1 only one episode deep so far but just my cup of tea

Hypnotic, starring Ben Affleck. Started out good, but descended into some sci-fi bollocks. I wanted to bail, but the wife wanted to see it out. I'll cite this mental torture should we ever divorce and if she keeps sticking with these type of films, then that day is approaching...

Yeah, I'm struggling with it too. I think I'm two episodes in and I'll probably bin it off.

Dune Prophesy. Another show that's full of production value but is soooo dull. Binned that one off after 1 episode.

Just watched the Fred and Rose West story on Netflix. Proper screwball. Didn't realise what a fascinating household it was. Worth a watch. 👍

Watch the Monsters series, brilliant, now on Jeffrey Epstein. Reckon there's a few more famous heads involved in all that shit.

I dont normally like mini series as they tend to be too drawn out for my attention span, but this just got better as it went on! :thumbup:

Had a very enjoyable afternoon at the local(ish) Everyman today watching this



I'm sure if won't be for everyone, but we both loved it- very well acted IMO, it made me laugh out loud , and I also shed a tear or two and I can't remember another film that's made me do that.

The Soprano's (again), Mrs Nozzle had never seen it and is giving it a go. I purchased the DVD box set years ago and have seen 3 or 4 times. Mrs is really enjoying it despite having doubts.

Started watching “Death of Bunny Monroe” - written by Nick Cave.

Foundation on apple TV. Epic sci-fi that looks amazing. I'm not sure what's going on though.

Welcome to Derry on Sky. Prequel to IT (the Steven King book/miniseries/films) quite good so far.

I read the books as a teenager - never knew what was going on. A friend made me watch the start of the series - its complete bollocks
