Presumed Innocent

Really rather good.

+1

Isn't this yet to be fully released? If so, think I'll wait until the last episode is out so I don't need to wait a week between episodes

Just watched all 5 episodes…. I felt it was unfinished, but no sign of season 2 so I presume you make your own ending up?

[DoubleSix]

There’s 8 episodes in season one Trigger…

[xeny]

Of which three are yet to be released. Next one is due on Wednesday, and weekly thereafter.

"Trying" is a gentle comedy that I quite liked.

We're enjoying this. Very endearing.

I think Rafe Spall is great. On another note, he was funny on Hip hop saved my life podcast.

I have an opinion on whodunnit

I can get this free now with my current bank account, is it worth it?

I don't have a 'smart tv' and only have a Virgin tivo box so I guess the only way to access it if I sign up is to sign in via my laptop and plug it into my tv?

It's definitely worth it for free! There's a lot of good stuff on there. And yes, you should be able to output your laptop to the TV with the right cable.

Just finished Acapulco and really enjoyed it.

Good sense of humour (for an American production) in my eyes.

Bit soppy at times but it really came together at the end.

Yes, we enjoyed that too.

(Did you notice that every episode title was an 80s music hit)?

Excellent news. I should be able to watch all of that before my latest three month free trial ends!

Watched CODA last night. Very good. Funny and emotional.

I am completely unconvinced by S3 of the Bear. Very disappointing.

we really liked s3 better than s2 - until the last few episodes and then it ended, nothing got resolved or wrapped up and i felt they ended up wasting episodes on the "2 comedic guys" and talking to , i assume , real chefs, about how cooking saves lives, the world, the universe, etc etc
i would not have minded that if it had gone somewhere.
there were some truly outstanding moments, and Jamie lee curtis shows us how wasted she has been by Hollywood over the years.

Didn't realise it had moved to Apple from Disney+

But I agree S3 was a rather pretentious Amuse-bouche. S1 and S2 were so good. Hopefully S4 is much better.

Nice touch in the last episode having real chef's at the meal.

Anyone watching Dark Matter?

Can't quite figure out whether it's any good but am sort of enjoying it partly because I really can't predict where it's going.

Enjoying it but you do need to turn off part of your brain to enjoy it, (with drugs maybe) it's like 30% plot holed pure trash, 70% decent fun.

I also can’t figure out whether I like it or not. It started really well but the last few episodes have just been fluff.

How many total episodes?

I gave up. Its lack of pace helped my insomnia though.

same here

a lot of these type of series now really dont bring anything new to the party, although the ending perhaps will be different, we've seen this in spades recently - dark , mysterious, slow burner scifi that deliberately confuses you until the end (being 8 weeks down the line)....ive just lost interest in these types of things

Just watched episode 7…. I agree it is slooooooooow but I’m intrigued enough to continue… however I’m really pleased my Mrs isn’t watching it, I have to explain the soaps to her let alone this complex mix up of two main characters and their family/friends……

OH decided she wanted to watch this so about half way in, I started again and finished it last night.

Originally thought it was going to be a miss but was in fact really rather good. Never really knew exactly what the ending would be.

Just finished binging this over the last few nights and found it intriguing, menacing and stimulating. Worth a watch!
