4 episodes into Squid Game at the moment, really enjoying it. Slow build up but the pace suits it.

Started Succession this week. About five episodes into series 1 now. It's good but not WOW, not yet anyway. I can only assume it pulls you in more and more as it goes along. Dialogue is an odd mix of sharp freshness and worn-out cliché.

I finished season one of Mr. Mercedes. Dunno. Pure grand.

Really enjoyed season 1 of Mr Mercedes. Haven't brought myself to watch further though as it felt the story had pretty well run its course.

I felt the last two or three episodes were beginning to drag. They could have cut it down.

I watched the first season and thought its ok but didn't go back. Can't see how it gets the reviews it does. Everyones a cunt in it. Is that the show then.   

Squid game was good when it was the takashis castles + murder scenes decent overall but the last ep was the worst ep by far. At least the gf has finally been swayed onto subtitles can finally force city do God and old boy on to her.

Successions second season might be better cuz by that stage you're wallowing in their filth waiting for one liners like ' you can't make an omlette without cracking a few Greggs'

Watched the first 6 episodes last night. Great show. That marble stuff was great... No spoilers!

On the third episode myself and enjoying it apart from the detective looking about 16 yrs of age.

I was saying something similar the other night, every time you see him he looks ancient, pipe and slippers Sunday evening tv. Haven't watched a thing of his since Men Behaving Badly. Talk about growing old badly...

Funny to see City of God and Old Boy being mentioned together. While I think Old Boy is quite a harsh movie for many, there's still a bit of humour in it that isn't entirely lost in translation. City of God's humour is pretty much all lost in translation though, when the film went out it was hard to have any conversation without someone using a funny line from that film or from Elite Squad, which is also good... for at least a year it was acceptable to say anything in that fucking Carioca (Rio's) accent.  :laugh:

I quite liked Squid Game. Koreans know their horror, "The Wailing" and "I saw the Devil" are also great.
