Fool Me Once | Netflix

Just finished this, never read the book so can't comment on the accuracy but it was decent enough and worth a watch. The ending was meh.

The "18 years later" scene at the end made me chuckle given that most of the cars in the series are '73 plate EVs :D

I can't see that detective and not think "can I have 12 bottles of bleach please" either :D
 
Finished this and thought it was pretty decent, which makes a change for a Netflix show. :p

Thought Michelle Keegan did great and was pleasantly surprised by her acting. She's come a long way since Coronation Street.
 
Plot holes, pointless story paths, it's like it was written for GCSE drama.

Netflix have got a slew of these Harlem Corben adaptations and I'm willing to bet they're all dross.
 
My questions - how did the Apache pilot end up being a military policeman, and why did she operate the Stores Jettison switch before killing the civilians…

I can only assume that was the only position he was allowed to hold after the incident. As for the other point, beats me. I'm still trying to work out if the long lost son ever got to meet his real Dad.
 
Not read the above as I still have 2 episodes to watch but what is with the exaggerated sound cues after certain dialogue is spoken! Talk about blatant audience prompts. Subtle this show is not.
 
We struggled through the first episode and binned it off. Terrible show.

We didn't finish The Stranger either.

Safe wasn't too bad but we stuck with because Dexter. We got to the end of Stay Close, just.

One of the most irksome things about all these shows is that the characters all have relatively mundane jobs but live in million pound houses and drive £100K+ SUVs.
 
Expected a lot from another Harlan Coben story but this one is predictable and a bit slow. In the end unconvincing, a show that could have been done in four episodes.
 
Netflix in a nutshell these days, all names and no substance.

AppleTV is putting out way better content.

The worst part is Netflix added a shedload of subs last year due to the password thing, so they're just going to keep up this high content volume, low quality cobblers because it's "working".
 
Netflix just buy a bunch of IP, then throw a bunch of "people you may remember from" actors in it and line them up.

Tried to watch "The Kitchen" last night, a story about London's last council estate. Netflix used one of the actors from Top Boy (actually I think there were several cast members from TB in it) which is also set in a similar setting. Similar moody, brooding character etc.

Story was utter turd, pacing was glacial and managed about 10 minutes before the Mrs and I broke our phones out to find something else to watch whilst we gave it another 10 to pick up. It didn't.
 
It was alright, but I'm not going to rushing out to recommend it to others. Totally agree on the comment in the other thread about soap opera level acting though.
 
It was pretty terrible and made no sense most places.

The police would have been able to tell that the gunshots were not from some scrote on a motorbike from a decent distance away but from someone that had firearms experience pretty close up. Oh and the main twist with the detective i saw coming a mile away.

I only watched because my mum and sister wanted to watch it. Oh and as this is the first think i have watched with Michelle Kegan in, i have to ask the question... Does she always play a 5 foot 4 inch woman that thinks she can take down much bigger blokes easily? I did have to laugh at a lot of it just being silly.
