I've started watching "The OA" on Netflix - it's a science fiction story written (at least in part) by Brit Marling. I've only watched the first 3 episodes - but I really like it so far.
===
On the other hand... the series seems derivate; numerous elements are reminiscent of Marling's earlier film, "The Sound of My Voice."
===
That said, "Sound of My Voice" is very enjoyable - stream this movie if you like Sci Fi.
===
And although OA has some elements in common with "Sound of My Voice" - it's not at all a copy-cat.

I'm enjoying "The OA" on Netflix - and if you like Sci Fi - I think you'll like this series too.

I love Brit Marling's stuff and only yesterday I checked on if there's a Season 3 of OA due out, but doesn't look promising, unfortunately.
 
Been watching Dead Mountain. Excellent.
True story.

Russian. In the Ural Mountains, nine students go on a ski hike, but never return. Local investigators must piece together what happened to them when their bodies are found a month later.
 
Bedbound with this crazy flu.
Binged the new Brassic season....well up to snuff imo. had a few proper lol moments even though it hurt to giggle
 
See. Apple TV.
Watched series 1 and 2 and really engrossed with it. Couldnt decide if the Queen's acting was the worst or best I had ever seen. Once I realised the brilliance it was easier to get on with. It is gore deluxe. GofT meets last kingdom meets Mad Max.
The fight scenes between blind soldiers with heightened senses are almost balletic. Both beautiful and brutal.
Some issues with the blind world but largely very well done and the issues are so minor they don't distract.
Hope series 3 is as good..

We enjoyed 'Lost in Space' ourselves, good to see series 3 is finally (nearly) here, although sad to see it's the final one. I thought Mina Sundwall playing 'Penny' was particularly good.

I'm slowly convincing the wife that the new Sky Glass TV suits our needs, I'm going to have to accelerate my plans to make sure we've got it in place for December :)

Great, isn't it?

I agree, especially, about 'Queen Kane'. Sylvia Hoeks manages to find that sweet spot between annoyance and reverence in her portrayal of over drama and cunning, which is remarkable, in of itself!

I think we're on ep 7 in S03.

Just finished season 2 of the remake of V and realised that the 3rd season was cancelled so it left the story incomplete.

Usually I check if a series has a conclusion before I invest the time to watch it, same happened with Stargate Universe it's a shit do.

I think there is merit in watching things that get cancelled, if they are good enough.

Im approaching cancellation point of travellers, ive mosy enjoyed it so far. I knew beforehand but went for it anyway.

the OA recently has been mentioned, I'd say the same for Westworld. I.e I'd still watch s1, knowing how crap s2,3 are and that one cancelled after.

Anybody watching 'The Chestnut Man'?

I was thinking what one earth are they going to do with the 'Mare from Easttown' character and this brilliant Danish thriller pops up.

Easily transferrable, easily made darker, even though it's frickin' decent in its own right.

Well worth checking out...
