Episode six (“Two Storms”) of The Haunting Of Hill House is fucking amazing. This series is fantastic so far.
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhh shit, there’s an Adam Sandler EXCLUSIVE on Netflix called 100% Fresh. You know fo sho that imma stop everything I’m doing to peep dis. Sandler got that crack, yo.
100% Avoid, more like.
Sat’s opinions running true to form, I see.
That does it, I’m going to watch The Haunting Of Hill House instead.
Mate S3 of Riverdale is awesome.
I read somewhere that there might be a Riverdale and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina crossover.

In one of the first 2 episodes of Sabrina, one of the characters is talking about moving schools. A second respondssomething like: "Which one, Riverdale?"
They're near each other, Riverdale has referenced it a lot. Miss Grundy lived there, and the ghoulies/Penny sell drugs there. They've also said it's more dangerous than the Southside so there's definitely potential for it.
WAIT WHAT?
They are both from Archie Comics. A crossover is pretty much inevitable at some point.

Yeah, this. They’re canonically in the same universe, back to the ‘60s first stories.

I was ten minutes into episode 1 then noticed DareDevil S3 had dropped so I'm torn. I've also got halfway through ep 1 of Ozark...I can't decide what to watch first .... It's great to have too much to watch for once!

Episode 5 of The Haunting of Hill House was fantastic. The one with the Bent Neck Lady? Bloody loved it.
I’m really enjoying the performances from all the actors; which have been positively outstanding, with the exception of kid Luke who’s a little twat.

Goddamnit, I was really looking forward to this. Unless it's a case of a stopped clock is right twice a day?

The Haunting of Hill House is fantastic. I guess if Sat was wrong 100% of the time, he'd become too useful a barometer, so he has to throw in the odd valid opinion now and again to keep you on your toes.
A stopped clock could have been right three times yesterday!

The Haunting Of Hill House Is great but you get to episode 9 and I’m tired of people monologuing. It’s such a trite form of storytelling that terrible programmes use too often. This series is better than that.
Ok, I’ve finished off The Haunting of The Hill House.
Episodes 1-6 are top-tier stuff, then it starts to descend as it reaches the finale. Not much, mind, but there’s something tonally about the last, say, 2 episodes that wasn’t present in the earlier episodes. I can’t put my finger on what it was, at the minute, but there was something unsurprising about those last two episodes. The revelations and the horror house tropes coupled with the stock helping-hand ghost just felt like a heavy dip in quality. Maybe quality isn’t the right word, I’m still figuring this out in my head, but whereas the series started off feeling fresh and wholly original the revelations and the ending felt kinda obvious and boring.
It didn’t help that the finale was, unfortunately, too long and filled with fucking poetry ghosts and cryptic conversations. The earlier episodes had people having real, believable conversations about real shit but then people started monologuing and talking almost exclusively in similes and metaphors. It felt, just...like it had been done a million times before. It should have been tighter paced but it was laboured and bloated. Which was utterly unlike 8 out of 10 episodes which were just the right length - and some of those hit 60 minutes which is often too long for a television episode.
It’s a 8/10 from me for the series. That’s 8 great episodes and 2 sort of crap un’s (but really that bad - just not “great” like the others).

Overall though, it's still the best ghost story TV show I've seen.
Ma cherie likes it, she says it rocks the Casper.
Ooh S2 of castlevania has arrived on Netflix. The first was great.

This was great.
So apparently in The Haunting of House Hill there’s a whole bunch of ghosts in the backgrounds. Apart from all the obvious ones that you were probably supposed to see I didn’t see any of these.
This dude has them listed in a video. Some of these seem like a real reach to me but a couple are genuinely creepy (the statue that moves her head and a kitchen ghost are cool). They’re kinda ace Easter eggs.
Anyway, look at it if you want.

This has a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
I watched it for the lulz. There weren’t many lulz. Mind you, surprisingly it wasn’t the worse thing in world.

More importantly, Robocop got added to Netflix today.
Cut version or uncut version?
Uncut, I think
Yep, can confirm.

I did see the turning head statue and figured there would be more going on that I'd missed. I'll be rewatching the whole show at some point. Tried to get MrsZ to watch some last night but she asked me to turn it off after 10 mins
Daredevil S3E4, the fight with the prisoners in the prison was quite brilliantly done.

it was excellent, though felt to begin with like wrestlers being comically exhausted at the end of a long WWE wrestling match.

Heh - I'd have to disagree there, it did feel like a reasonably realistic depiction of some guys beating the shit out of each other, and one of them being very good at using what little energy he had left.

They have iPhones and laptops, and in the first episode there was a screen that said “October 28th of this year”. It’s deliberately ambiguous.
