Girls is the ‘real’ Sex and the City.
Motherland was brilliant. I love Sharon Horgan’s writing.

Motherland was great, wish they’d do another series.

I didn’t finish it. And I tried twice.
I turned this off too. Boring.
I did rewatch Inside Llewyn Davis on Sunday, which is possibly my favourite Sunday night film.
My wife and I rewatched GIRLS again recently and it has aged really well. It captured the time period perfectly and as much as people love to loathe Lena Dunham, she created something which contained all the mess and ugly beauty of trying to find yourself in your 20’s.
@Joe - I also watched The Bikeriders and yes, it was very silly. Great point about Jodie’s accent - she nailed it, but overall it was a big pile of poo.
I recently watched Scum for the first time (no idea why that had escaped me for so long) and to make the night even cheerier, I went back to back with a rewatch of Monster with Charlize Theron and Christina Ricci. I haven’t seen it in years and for some reason this time it looked different.
I have this weird memory disfunction where I can watch a film and then watch it again a year later and almost forget what happens in the film. It has its advantages because I get to enjoy it all over again from a fresh perspective.

Yeah, a few months out and I can’t remember a book or movie.
Some people have trouble living in the present, I am too far the other way unfortunately.
Interesting Kendrick Lamar/Super Bowl explainer.

IKR?! That has stayed with me I think…
I just hope Severance doesn’t end up going the same way as Lost

Funny, I had the same reaction but for The Silo.

I had exactly the same thought about the similarities to Lost when watching that last episode. I’ve really enjoyed Severance but there is a risk of the story getting more ridiculous and not hanging together. Hope I’m proved wrong as it’s a great concept and good characters

Some top tier acting on that as all was revealed. 
It is definitely at risk of pulling a Lost though I agree - really hope they don’t drag it out and stick the landing. The writing, style, and lore is great and I love how they keep doing new things with the premise.

I was getting a bit frustrated with that episode but it kind of redeemed itself by the end.

I must give that a watch. I read this a long while ago and it made quite the impression on me, just as Yugoslavia was beginning to fall apart. Recommend it if you haven’t read.

really odd film. Based on a classic Photographic Monograph by Danny Lyon, hence the photographer character but you’re right, its just a beautifully styled recreation of the photos. really odd.
new one from the guy who made Scavenger’s Reign

I just read a sample of this based on your recommendation. It looks great and I’ll get the book. Thanks for the suggestion

Loved Scavenger’s Reign (a tip from here I think) will check this out.
Severance had to remind myself of a lot of Season 1, started Season 2 yesterday. Playing a slow catch up
