I watched the first episode & that was enough. The gimmick is you can watch them in any order? It just felt all shades of beige.

Yep watched it last year and enjoyed it. True story and well acted.
Just finished season 1 of bear on Star (Disney plus). Super high intensity smash you in the face stuff. It really is quite exhausting to watch as a five star chef comes back to run the restaurant/sandwich shop of his deceased brother with his cousin (who is just so loud and intense) and all the other misfits in there. When both critics and users go over 90% on rotten tomatoes I'm in. Has lots of cutting, slicing and dicing as well as various drama of why the brother died and the impact on everyone else, broken relationships and money troubles and both the people and the restaurant evolving. I'm not sure how I feel, but it was quite a ride and had some pretty intense moments. In true Disney+ fashion one third of the show is the intro and the credits - so you are looking at about 20 minutes an episode of which there are eight (there is one longer episode). Not sure if season 2 will work but plenty of stuff that can evolve from where it ends. If you have ever enjoyed a reality cooking show then this is definitely worth a shot as it mixes a real gritty real life version of some of the best bits of that with a real story and characters.

I was so distracted by Stallone's heavily botoxed and surgery-ridden face I couldn't watch it.
Few years old but just watched The Walk on Netflix about a high wire artist who walked between the Twin Towers in the 70s.
Fascinating story but hard to watch if you suffer from vertigo!

I was really disappointed in the second season. Too much magazine style fluff and not enough fly on the wall.
The first series was riveting because of the dressing room footage and access to JL's addresses etc
Much less of that this time and the handing of JL's sacking was soft as butter. If they are making a show like that they need to ask Cummins and co the hard questions, not let them make nothing statements without asking them to substantiate.
Agree entirely. Felt like the show was made by those who orchestrated his demise. Word War 2 from the Germans viewpoint.

Yep I agree as well, won't be watching any future series unless I hear different.
The Virtues on Stan.
Holy hell.
I'm gonna say it - Stephen Graham's portrayal of Joseph is the greatest acting performance I've ever seen. 4-part mini-series of the highest quality.
But take note of the warnings prior to each episode, especially the last.

Stephen Graham is a fantastic actor. Another recent one with him (and Sean Bean) "Time" is great too.
And i should add the child actors in The Virtues are bang on in their small roles.
Mr Inbetween has been discussed here before - and many agreed it was an absolute bloody ripper of a series (all 3 series actually)
Anyway - The Age Good Weekend Magazine this weekend has a great story on Scott Ryan - the writer, lead actor etc etc
The article itself is definitely worth reading - all about Scott himself, his career, family, Ray Shoesmith, Hollywood etcx etc etc
This might be pay walled - but here's the link

(if anyone wants me to copy/paste the complete article I'll try it)
Anyway .... a bit of trivia involves one of his brothers and RFC
i.e. "Adam was a natural sportsman, did a pre-season with Richmond in the AFL, even finagled a tryout for the San Francisco 49ers."
Doesn't say when - and I certainly don't remember him at all - but I thought it interesting.

The Last of Us on Binge is excellent so far.

Yeah, so far so good. The last episode was a real shift away from the constant blood and gore.The Last of Us on Binge is excellent so far.

Shrinking with Harrison Ford is pretty good too.
Some Video games are interactive movies. The Last of Us (video game) in particular has significant cut scenes and story in addition to running around killing monsters and humans.The Last of Us on Binge is excellent so far.

If anyone wants to stretch the definition of a movie/TV show I would highly recommend this game which explores AI and if it is a form of life,, Ai taking jobs from humans, the holocaust, discrimination, homelessness and community. Much more powerful than a movie IMO given the outcomes are shaped by player choices. It's less a game than an interactive movie with very mild gameplay elements and exploration.
Detroit: Become Human - Wikipedia
It's great. Everyone was focusing on the ep 3 love story but the detail in the overall writing is next level, tieing in plot and links to the previous EPs etc.The Last of Us on Binge is excellent so far.
