Did the same since Thursday. You know what you’re getting with Guy Ritchie and it didn’t disappoint.
I did finish it!
When they revealed that the scientists were killed in a mass revolt of town women avenging Annie K I turned to my partner and said “people are going to fucking hate this.”
I also really didn’t like the implication at the end that Navarro found peace by killing herself! I’m not gonna say that it’s a show runner’s responsibility to not tailor their creative vision in a certain way, but it just felt gross to me.
Overall I loved the acting in it, loved the set up and just kind of accept that it’s really hard to stick the landing. I’d watch another season for sure because I just love spooky mystery things though.

Anyone watching 3 Body Problem on Netflix?
Great source material, but with the caveat of having David Benioff and D.B.Weiss as the show runners.
Perhaps they can make a good job of it since the story is a completed trilogy, in contrast to the lack of direction realized in the latter seasons of unfinished Game of Thrones.
Waiting for a few more reviews to come out before I invest my time into this. Then there’s always the possibility of Netflix cancelling after one season - the fuckers roll out TV productions, and move on from them, like ch💩lsea buy and sell football players.
Not long finished season two of Kin. Quality stuff. Have started Love and Hate for my fix of Irish crime.
Just saw that documentary about Boeing. Gonna try and avoid their planes in future.
What a bunch of vile neoliberal lizard scumbags.
I hate this managerial class of greedy talentless buffoons that constantly fail upwards.
How can they not get any accountability for their crimes and greed?
Its completely fucked up isnt it. Everything that’s wrong with the corporate world and even in an industry as regulated as aviation it was still so fucking easy for them to put greed ahead of literal human lives.

Seeing a lot of parallels with the NHS.
I love Boeing planes. The 747 is an icon. So should the 787 be but they keep cutting corners the vile rats.
I hate how neoliberals get their piggy little hands on quality like this and just ruin it, grind it for profit. Every time.
What streaming service is it on?
Netflix.
It’s a couple years old mind you.

No Escape, Netflix.
Film about a family that arrive in a South East Asian country (I’m guessing Laos) within 24hrs of being there a military coup happens, it has Owen Wilson in it. Fucking intense man, was not expecting that at all

I’ll give it a gander tomorra.
I just watched this last night. Presumably we both got pulled in by the Netflix algorithm 
It was pretty decent to be fair.

Yeah
Saw Owen Wilson and though it maybe easy watching aswell, read the description and was intrigued as its not something I’d ever cast him in.
Also thought it was quite decent.

I’ll be there.
Just watched the Only Connect special that was on recently, which the QI Elves won, and I managed to get all the answers for the connecting wall round. 
Although unlikely to get many right in University Challenge.
