Noticed the above with Kin too. The secondary roles are extremely diverse in their casting. Doesn't take anything away, and to be honest I think it would only be remarkable to an Irish person who grew up in mainly white Ireland. Pretty sure that on the international market (the show is made by AMC), it won't be remarkable at all.

Watched the first episode of Foundation.
Isaac Asimov story, so will probably be heavy enough going.
Looks interesting to say the least.
Visually impressive.
The forced American accents on some characters is really obvious, though. Kinda cheapens it, like.

Getting stuck into season 1 of Mr. Mercedes. I like it.

Loved season 1.
Season 2, though! I dropped It half way through.

[open face surgery]

Only watched the first season, which I enjoyed.

Started into Capital this evening as the missus was put off by the opening scene in Mr. Mercedes 

Capital is off to a good start. Toby Jones, sure; no better man.

Watching 'Escape at Dannemora' on Prime, s out that Sweat/Matt prison break in 2015. Excellent show, recommended. Great cast, Del Toro, Arquette and Dano.

Yeah! That was a good watch.
Directed by Ben Stiller and all. Who woulda thunk it?

[Caomhaoin]

Surprised at that alright. Some of the choons on the soundtrack are fantastic and all.

This Midnight Mass lark on Netflix is a bloody torture to wade through

I thought it was surprisingly decent. The lady watches every trash 'horror' Netflix makes and it's the best of them I've seen in a long time. It does get a bit long winded in its true detective wannabe existential musings at times but it didn't feel like a Netflix made show, avoided the over saturated images and hard some interesting camera work and effects. 

I dunno how close the story stuck to Stephen king's book so unsure if the Muslim sheriff was in it, but that part of the story felt less forced that some of the other themes they were going for.

Would recommend it,

Ah, King. I was thinking while watching it that it was like one of his stories. That explains it then because as much as I loved King years ago I couldn't read him now. And I've tried. Have shelves full of his books.

[nukeabuse]

I wouldn't have thought it was based off his work unless I was told but once you hear it's glaringly obvious.

King's a weird one kinda dodged his books when I was younger bar a handful of the big ones and the dark tower series, but every year or two I'll end up unconsciously coming across one his books and smashing it in a few days. For what they can lack in depth and genuine scares he can write a page turner. (Not taking to in account the other 95% of his work is apparently tripe)

[Thorn]

The last time I read him I had to read some Cormac Mc Carthy as an antidote, anyway....wrong thread!

[nukeabuse]

I've read a lot more McCarthy than thing king, he's probably my favourite non scifi author but sometimes that sweet low hanging fruit from king hits the spot

[Thorn]

'Sweet low hanging fruit'...that's a good way of looking at it actually!

[Eoin McLove]

"Sweet low hanging fruit" sounds like a clammy evening in my boxer shorts.

[Thorn]

Literally just have my dinner warming up in the microwave and read that
