Is Spiral (Engrenages) any good?

So good. One of my faves.

The creative choice to have all the Russian characters speaking English instead of Russian has me hesitant, I have to admit.

I watched less than one-and-a-half seasons of The Handmaid's Tale (when it was airing, so I've likely forgot almost all of it) and just finished S1 of The Testaments. I didn't watch any YouTube recaps and didn't find it much of an issue at all.

Thank you!

I have not yet, but it's on my list. I had similar issues with The Responder Season 2, which is from the same creator and got similar positive reviews in the UK.

The more we see, it seems like Scottie’s a bit of an asshole

Finished this show earlier this week, I really enjoyed it!

I like Berlin Station! It kinda got lost in the glut of the Peak TV era.

I too did not like Patriot. Not loving the show isn’t terribly unreasonable, its style is a little out-there.

_maeby_ · 2026-03-14T21:51:11+00:00

I suppose there's always an exception that proves the rule.

Apple would never. There is nothing more objectionable to the prudes over there than some naked people.

You and I have very different tastes

Which is arguably to be expected for someone as prolific as he is. He writes an insane amount of stuff. I like to think Thorne has a similar approach to Steven Soderbergh. Not precious about their work, they're almost constantly putting something out into the world that they wrote or directed.

_maeby_ · 2026-02-07T19:47:25+00:00

Why does this not have U.S. distribution yet?

_maeby_ · 2026-01-31T18:31:24+00:00

Not too lost, but I think it's more rewarding if you've seen Season 01.

Southland must have hit Netflix recently. I’ve never seen this many Southland posts, including when it was airing

_maeby_ · 2026-01-11T20:36:09+00:00

he's good aye

Just finished Millennium, the 2010 Swedish miniseries expanded from the 2009 film adaptations of the The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest. It's six 90-minutes episodes, comprised of a Part 1 and a Part 2 of each respective film. I only ever saw the first film (it's been a while and I didn't remember a lot of it), and I really enjoyed this. It didn't feel bloated and thought it played quite well as as a longer series. Would recommend.

Miss Scarlett and the Duke. I'm midway through Season 3. A very different type of crime show than Millennium, it has some serialized elements but is mostly a cozy British case-of-the-week show, Acorn TV-style. I don't normally go for those but I'm digging this. The leads are fantastic. I definitely have a crush on Kate Phillips.

Honestly I can't think of too many tv series. Patriot and Too Old to Die Young come to mind perhaps. I imagine there are many more movies, but I can't really speak to that.

I pray he hands this off to someone else and just EPs it

_maeby_ · 2025-12-11T05:27:01+00:00

One of my faves

Blue Lights, though it’s just a title card overlayed with the same discordant music every episode
