maqroll Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Watched the first 2 episodes of Outer Range. Really nice to look at, good acting and the story is doing just enough to make me want to watch episode 3. I'm just annoyed that the whole thing hinges on Spoiler The supernatural Which I generally don't like. Tried to watch Anatomy of a Scandal but the pacing of it is dragging it down. Sienna Miller got old all of a sudden. Still gorgeous, but looks like she's in her mid 40s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Late to the party but half way through snowfall season 2, its good, I find it easy going rather than proper serious drama, there's no cliff hangers or any of that kind of nonsense just good characters well written and a decent soundtrack Its a different thing from narcos but I do think the 2 sit well together if you liked narcos, it's the same world just a different tone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. TLK just seemed too... 'BBC-ish'. Vikings was infinitely superior. Edited April 20, 2022 by mjmooney 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Anatomy of a Scandal on Netflix is really good, much like a BBC sunday night political drama. All the performances are excellent, Sienna Miller and Rupert Friend in particular. very minor spoiler note Spoiler Though the ethical 'faux-pas' of the prosecuting barrister requires some suspension of disbelief!

I’ve watched a couple of seasons of TLK over the last few weeks, and while perfectly okay television, it doesn’t come close to Vikings. It’s too mild, and the characters/acting performances aren’t anywhere near the same level. One caveat is that TLK has the handicap of being the televisional backdrop to my impending separation, which obviously doesn’t do it any favours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Recently watched two Mexican Netflix offerings. "I'm No Longer Here", a unique movie centered in Monterrey Cumbia culture and one kid's brush with gangs, a fictional movie. A bit art housy which I like. Then a gripping documentary "1994", about the tumultuous year in politics there, including the Chiapas uprising, the candidate Colosio assassination and the election. Brilliant documentary.
