Just finished Vikings: Valhalla  Not too bad overall with more to come probably.

Not sure what to watch next as everything I fancy is foreign, therefore concentrating on subs  :-X

All of Us are Dead  More S. Korean zombies madness. This time it all starts in a school. The Koreans have a real skill for doing these type of zombie TV shows. This is up there with Kingdom. Each episode is about an hour long and there are 12 of them. We've watched 2 so far and they went by in a flash. Very tense, chaotic with lots of manic action. I understand it all takes place in the school so it may be difficult to maintain this standard without getting repetitive. 9.5/10 so far.

I think what I like about All of Us are Dead is the fact they are trapped in one building/area. Films like that always appeal to me; the master of that style being Dawn of the Dead in the shopping mall.

P.S. Have you watched the Kingdom spin off movie - Kingdom: Ashin of the North, it's great too? Kingdom has a second series too:

Brilliant in every way.
Recently watched the Irishman again, also good, but not in the same league.

Not really my thing, however much of it of course is filmed a reasonably walkable distance from my house, so I enjoy the spotting of very familiar locations - and I can't help looking for anachronisms.  ::)  :)

We finished All of Us are Dead last night. Really enjoyed it as a whole, but I feel exhausted. It's pretty much non-stop since the word go. I did warm to the characters, but Koreans are rather odd in the way they treat each other (maybe that was a fault of the poor translation though). I'm zombied out for a while now lol 9.5/10

The Pentaverate - Mike Myers comedy on Netflix with him playing several characters about a secret Masonic type group.

Only watched the first 2 half hour episodes these past 2 nights and raised a few laughs, working round the clock at the moment (11th 12 hour shift in a row with another 8 to go !!) and can't stay awake for more than 30 minutes before passing out.

Was going to watch The Northman tonight, but instead went for The Lost City as it's a bit shorter. The first half was really good and quite funny. Alas it all went downhill fast in the second half. Channing Tatum and Sandra Bullock just dialled it in, but Brad Pitt's cameo was the best part. 7/10 first half, 3/10 second half - so 4/10

Watched a couple more episodes of The Pentaverate, good Shrek cameo in one and i'm just hanging in there with it.

The Hunt (Netflix film), 90 minute nonsense violent thriller.....6/10.


Love, Death and Robots Season 3 out this Friday !!
