Sk1Bum 10,599 Posted January 22 Posted January 22 While not a movie, this Netflix series had me laughing all the way through. Being an Arnold fan helps... It's theme is similar to True Lies, but with an (admittedly) predictable twist. 1

Season two is in production and expected 2nd or 3rd quarter this year..., should be fun!
Community Admin AndrewJohn 9,517 Posted January 22 Community Admin Posted January 22 Saw this Netflix "Limited" series..., and have to say, it had me on the edge..., lots of twists, and if you like conspiracy-stuff and deep state stuff (and for your sanity can separate that fiction from reality and fact...) you will like this series.
Community Admin AndrewJohn 9,517 Posted January 22 Community Admin Posted January 22 Another Netflix Limited Series I caught that is worth a watch..., is Fool Me Once. I like the "Limited Series" format, as it's not too long, one doesn't have to wait for a new season, in anticipation, or in hope, that it actually happens..., it has a beginning, middle and an end. It involves PTSD, the main character, she is a combat helicopter pilot, and the abusive and capitalistic drug industry fraud. Hard to tie all that together, but this limited series does it. Fool Me Once is one of those limited series that will keep you on edge, throughout, and as hard as you try to figure out what's going on, you won't know until the end..., with a surprise/twist ending.
Daddyjt 9,023 Posted January 29 Author Posted January 29 If we are going to chat about “limited series” shows, I’d be remiss if I did not mention HBO’s spectacular series Chernobyl. It’s only five (5) episodes, which is a shame, as I could have watched 10 or more. I remember when the Chernobyl disaster happened - I was in high school. I also remember joking about it with my friends at the time. After watching this impeccably created documentary-drama, I have to admit that I feel like an ass for joking about this horrific event. the entire series is a master class - from the depiction of the initial explosion, to the political ramifications, to the depiction of death by radiation sickness (that will haunt me for the rest of my days), to the second-by-second breakdown in the final episode of what happened that night to lead to the explosion… All of the performances are fantastic, but Stellan Skarsgard flat-out steals the show. He portrays Boris Shcherbina, and his character arc is off the charts - from the ignorant party line bureaucrat to the most touching end scene - he’s excellent. I can’t recommend this series highly enough… 5

PhilDent 1,845 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 I started watching Chernobyl on a long flight and I have to admit that it was the first time that I was disappointed when we landed. I wanted to keep watching. I need to watch it again.
