Best TV shows or movies you can recommend (3 Viewers)

Finally got around to watching - The Expanse.

It`s not often I`d describe a tv series as magnificent, but this really is.

100% pure space scfi and long at 6 series and 62 episodes, but I genuinely didn`t want it to finish.

The first series isn`t very good, felt a bit budget, but I`d been told to expect this and just get through it to the second, when it comes into its own.

If you haven`t seen it, it`s too complicated to explain, but a a very short version would be, is that it`s set 200 years in the future, Earth, Mars and an area of space called The Belt all are inhabited.

The Belt exists to serve Mars and Earth, who are both constantly on the brink of war with each other and there`s also a resistance movement on The Belt, fighting against Mars / Earth.

Throw in the discovery of an alien life form, that has the potential to wipe out the universe.

If the first series hadn`t have been so ropey, I`d be giving it a 10/10 all day long.

A must watch for sc-fi nerds.

I went and watched ‘Weapons’ last night. Very much enjoyed it. I’m not sure I should give too much away but I guess it’s a bit like ‘Us’…a bit like it but not really.
One of the best I’ve seen in a while.

Good ain’t it. I dunno if I could write much more about it without giving stuff away.

You really can’t. It’s a trip though.

Also saw Weapons tonight. The ending was nuts, everyone in the cinema was actually laughing.

The hair cutting scene as well...

Thought it was good, but preferred Bring Her Back in terms of a recent horror

I’m glad you said that…it was the same reaction where I watched it and in the cinema my daughter watched it in Australia! Also In both venues some people started clapping…

Edit: I liked bring her back also. Very good batch of horrors out at the moment. Next up ‘Together”.

Together seems like its going to be really good, but apparently the script was stolen from an independent writer which is interesting.

I'm a big horror fan

Is that right? I’ll have to read up on it.

Yeah me too. I think a few others on here are too. Even the shittest of horrors - and my god there are some terrible ones - often have something original in them to appreciate.
Unfortunately I feel like I’ve got to the stage where I’ve watched them all!
Having said that I’m a bit out of the loop on foreign language horrors. Some of them used to be terrifying!

Black Phone 2 is on our list as well for horrors this year. The first was good but felt like it wrapped up well, so interested to see what they'll do.

Keeper also looks really promising. Trailer gives nothing away, but it's by the same writer as Longlegs which I really liked

Watched the first of these and quite enjoyed it.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Me and 3 of my mates from school were obsessed by this film when we were kids, we are going to see it when it comes out.
Even if its rubbish it'll be a good excuse for a pint and a catch up

When I saw Alien, Earth and Disney, I expected the worst, but the first episode was really good.

The Alien universe had a lot of rubbish, but is on a bit of a revival since Alien Romulus

There's a remaster of the original going in to cinemas in the US ahead of the sequel release, hoping they do the same here

I couldn't get interested in it. Does it need sticking with?

Definitely!

My missus felt the exact same way and I was rather meh about it, but I pushed to watch another couple or episodes "just in case" and now we both love it
