The Revenant (2015) with Tom Hardy and DeCaprio.

Long, and very good. What you'd expect from them really.

Thought on 'Eric'? It's ok but nothing special IMO
I loved it. Thought it was really well written and enjoyed the character development. I’m not a huge fan of cumberbatch but thought this was great.
After 15 minutes I was thinking "not sure if this is for me", After the first episode I was like "I'll give it another 1-2 episodes". After the 3rd I was really enjoying it. Brilliant character development, as you say. BC played his role really, really well.

Has anyone started Boys S4? Any good?

Also, has anyone watched Hit Monkey? Stills of S2 have been teased online.

There's a separate thread for the Boys and yes, I've seen the first two (there's 3 out) episodes and I think it's excellent. A few others on the thread are less enamoured but I'm enjoying it.

Same here, in the same way that I've never been as thirsty as when I watched Ice Cold in Alex

Finally finshed Manifest, really enjoyed it, albeit had to buy series three from Amazon, as they couldnt show it.

If anyone remotely liked Chicago Med, which we did, have just found New Amsterdam, vey much similar, around 70 odd episodes, the OH likes it, so that helps, stops her talking for a while laugh

Talking about cold (and hungry) I watched Society of the Snow on a flight the other day - possibly not the best location to watch it but a fantastic film.

Nothing wrong with the original but this was a great remake.

Couple of episodes into Eric and enjoying it but not rushing to binge it.

Animated sci-fi thing, lots of weirdness. Did well with critics, very strong style to it, apparently similar to Moebius' work but also reminded me of some Japanese stuff.
You had me at Moebius. I will have to watch this
It's got a very Japanese vibe to it. I find it strangely unsettling, but is compulsive viewing, although I can only watch 2 episodes at a time.
This is very very odd. I'm getting Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind vibes from the strange fauna and fauna. And, yes, also Moebius.

It is all very odd. And intriguing. And I am captivated.

example of Moebius' work for anyone not familiar:

I've just started watching this and agree with the "unsettling but compulsive" view. It's very out there in terms of Sci-fi with the world creation. Only 2 eps in but it's one of the most original things I've seen on there. Reminds me a bit of Love Death and Robots it's so creative.

Yes, there are elements of that too. yes

Have you seen Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind because you will totally see what I mean if/when you do.

There are also elements of the anime & manga Blame! (the anime is from the same studio who did Knights of Sidonia) in a tangential way.

I haven't seen Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind but my anime/manga viewing history is sparse so no surprise there smile I'll add it to the list though (or at least have a look for a clip to see what you mean).

Yes, I think Netflix have all the Studio Ghibli films.

(Technically Nausicaä pre-dates the formation of Studio Ghibili, but since it is directed by Hayao Miyazaki then it generally included. See https://ghiblicollection.com )

Tour De France: Unchained.

I'm not a sports fan, and have little interest in professional cycling, but this show is compelling.

Sadly, watching it means NF thinks I like football.
