Yay! So we get Water Cooler discussions, per-episode articles & breakdowns on websites, YouTube etc., and you know everyone is on the same page with spoilers.

They're doing that because people were abusing the 30 day free trial thing.

I thought The Boys was ste, BTW

It's a shame that many can't get on with subtitles. I watch lots of foreign stuff and it's usually superior to the tile after tile of general dross on offer. Deaths Game is just one amongst thousands. The big problem with Prime is that the UI and search is so utterly st that these things are often only found by accident or the people also watched rabbit hole.

With the exception of Das Boot I've never got on with subtitles unless they are on for very short periods of time in a predominantly English speaking production. I was looking forward to Griselda but gave up due the prominence of subtitles. It's odd how they affect people differently

I'm with you on that! I just cannot watch things with subtitles. It defeats the whole purpose of watching in the first place! Might as well just read the book and conjure up the images in your own mind.

Vastly prefer subs to the dubbed soundtrack…

I used to hate subtitles but over a decade with Mrs DG have got me to the point where I now miss them (and some of the sound mixes these days are dreadful!)




anywho - coming next month. Works for me

It's a personal preference. Sadly the more vociferous voices in the eternal debate on the matter forget that.

Should have done that with Fallout as well.

Billy the kid is worth a look.

2 seasons.

Have one more episode on season 1 to see.

I had no idea this was coming out, a Sausage Party series

Jeez. That's really scraping the burnt-on bits at the bottom of the saucepan.

It’s very good. I’ve been waiting for the last four episodes to be released which they have now bar one.

Not watched the trailer for the series yet but I actually found the film very funny. Never thought it needed a series though, one and done was enough for the concept.

Just started on this. I'd not come across it, neither S1 or S2 as there's been no tile for it, yet sometimes I scroll for hours looking for something to watch. I did some serious scrolling to look for it following these posts and still no tile, I had to search for it specifically to find it. The UI is beyond crap sometimes, as seemingly popular series are simply not listed, at all, no tile, at least not in my feed.

Got to be honest, it hasn't really moved-on from the shock-and-awe initial series. The story seemed to burn out a bit when Billy Butcher found his wife. I have watched the newly released three episodes and found it very "samey".

In fact the whole Gen V TV series was pointless. I couldn't understand why they'd make that instead of pushing ahead with THIS storyline... although it seems there's no story left to tell in either direction.

Netflix is the same.

bloody frustrating

The Package (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1884457/?ref_=tt_mv_desc) stunningly average 'action' film with Dolph L and Steve Austin... barely acceptable as televisual wallpaper

Raiders of the lost arc, the kids remake documentary

Nice documentary for rainy day. Very concerning at the end that was glossed over a little .
6.5 fake boulders of 10

Is that some kind of mathematical or technical drawing thing?
