die hard doonhamer Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Finished One Day last night. Add me to the list of those that got overly invested and emotional. A very good series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Started Baby Reindeer last night and finished it today. Dark as f**k, creepy, thrilling, and funny, and something to ponder over now it's done. There was an awful lot of it I really loved but I'm not sure how I feel about it overall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I thought it was excellent but grim as f**k. I'd definitely recommend it but have no intention of ever watching it again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would be even better with a proper actor in the lead role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Aye it was a 'good' watch. Very dark in places. The lassie playing Kathy Bates was excellent even if her accent was pretty shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoonsYouthTeam Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Just finished Baby Reindeer too and would echo what others have said. It's both fantastic yet horrific, I thought a story like that would have been more well known. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's both fantastic yet horrific, I thought a story like that would have been more well known. I can't work out if he is presented his stand-up routine as truly unfunny/awful as that was the reality ie where he was in life and what he considered to be funny at that time. Or whether he is presenting the stand-up parts as "good comedy". I read that he had played the fringe a number of times before the stalking began and had won awards. Obviously the timelines for Baby Reindeer are likely to have been altered to make it all more cohesive but there is nothing remotely funny about the main guy. Not even his stage stuff, but the one liners that he made to his trans partner were awful also. I cannot believe he is considered a successful comedian. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Finished Baby Reindeer, well played to eventually make you feel sorry for both main characters 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I can’t say it’s enjoyable, and he’s clearly trying to do Mackenzie Crooke, but it’s certainly a powerful series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustOneCornetto Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Ripley - liking this a lot, seen 5 of the 8 episodes and it has a lot more sinister feel to it than the film, maybe because it's filmed so effectively in black and white giving it a very noir tone. Also have to say that Andrew Scott is playing Ripley brilliantly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be similar in the reviews. 7 hours ago, sparky88 said: I thought the stand up shown in the show was meant to suggest he was shite?

Mr. Brightside Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I ended up only really feeling sorry for Teri, because she had the misfortune of meeting Donny and being lied to by him, which led her to getting assaulted by Martha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bobo Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 The Kalief Browder story. Absolutely awful what that young man went through. What a strong man to do what he did. Not many others would do the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 After years of using my lin-laws' Netflix account from a different country, they have finally twigged that we don't live together and we have been kicked out. Gone for £4.99 a month with ads, as it was more than double to get it ad-free. Will see how it goes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your in laws can pay 5.99 to add you to their account but from a different IP and it will be the same level they have (if ad free) I do it for my daughter who doesn't live with us anymore 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
