Was another of the review bombed ones. I looked at imdb.and thought nah......then I read that people had intentionally trashed it and saw the number of 1 star reviews.

@matt-wood That could be a shame! I'm with you I loved the books, so so good. Just finished re reading them as well.

[Matt Wood]

@ryan I saw it but its not going to be for me. Visually it is fantastic, but as a fan of the original books it is a little too far removed from the source and doesn't 'feel' like Lord of The Rings. Thats just me though.

[Ryan]

Anybody seen the Lord Of The Rings one on Amazon yet?

Want to watch it but wasn't sold after the trailer.

[Richard Latimer]

I usually look at reviews on IMDB when deciding what to watch. I now see the phenomena that is review bombing so I've gone back and added Moon Knight, She-Hulk and Ms Marvel to my list!

Started watching Hellbound on Netflix today, better than I expected. Its dubbed into English so it that puts you off give it a miss. Dubbing is not too bad though.

@john-folan I agree Apple is mega isn't it!

Trying is golden, literally so funny!

Morning show season 1 was brilliant as well.

@richard-latimer I loved this one of the best things I have seen, love the dynamic between them!

Bad Sisters on Apple TV is worth a watch. Have to say Apple is becoming my go to place for tv now. So much good stuff on there and only a fiver a month.

Lovely line in it . “Sorry for your troubles”. Irish people say it when you lose someone. I remember it when I took my dad home to Ireland when he passed 20 years ago. Everyone from the village turned out to welcome him home and that was said to me god knows how many times. It’s always stuck. Something really poetic about it.

Just started watching Succession. Can already tell I'm going to love it! Kieran Culkin's character is such a c u next tuesday

1mil if the kid gets a home run. Oh man, that's such a good effort but I can't give it to you......as he rips up the cheque in the kids face!!

Day Shift on Netflix is a proper syfy channel B movie. It is stupid, it is silly and it it glorious!!!

[Ryan]

@richard-latimer Surprised the wife hasn't made me watch it then.

@ryan said in Netflix/Amazon/Gaming and Book Recommendations and Dad's Jokes:

@richard-latimer I might miss that one then! Is that the one with Rob Stark in?

Yeah. I just didn't really care for the characters enough. They just weren't that interesting!

@richard-latimer I liked that thought it was great, funny too.

Watched The Eternals next day which was very meh.......

Far too detached from the MCU as we know it and not really very gripping on the whole. A few interesting bits and pieces but no more. If they are doing a 2nd as it says then I hope for much more!
