Netflix what’s worth watching?

[Allegra]

Watched 2015's film The Danish Girl, an excellently biopic with outstanding acting and cinematography. Now watching Spanish mystery thriller movie The Invisible Guest (2016), looks very promising.

The Dig was really very good. Capone looks interesting.

 

[Boneman]

Rewatched Forest Gump, superb. And Under the Eiffel Tower (2018), a sophisticated rom-com.

Going to give the latter a try, looks good.

 

[Allegra]

Then try documentary series Wild Wild Country, seven hours of brilliance.

Watching this now, mind boggling.

Well apart from the utterly appalling faux-Irish accent, this was a pleasant and amusing film.

The Current War, decent, but not excellent, for the subject, it could have been better.

Enola Holmes
Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang
Light entertainment, suitable to watch in the summer heat.

Enola Holmes was good!

Trese is a very competent animated series!

Anyone watched the new 'Masters of the Universe' series?

Anyone watched the new 'Masters of the Universe' series?

I watched the first ep yesterday. It was ok, but then I was never really into He Man anyway.

I watched it as a kid as I was at that age. The new series looks interesting, but haven't bothered with it yet.

Might be worth it for the nostalgia. My partner used to watch He Man and he was telling me all about the toys he used to have while we were watching it.

Yes the toys were great and (I think) the original show was a device for selling them. Unlike many toys of the time, He Man, Skeletor and their chums were all hardy playthings that could put up with almost any treatment.

If you haven't seen the Netflix shows 'The Toys That Made Us', I would urge you to do so - there's a He-Man/She Ra episode in there.
