Watched the first 2 episodes of Death and Other Details on Hulu, Murder mystery on a ship, not groundbreaking. lol

It's good enough to watch though.

Anyone watch Boy Swallows Universe on Netflix? 7 episode Aussie coming of age crime comedy? They had me at Aussie. It’s getting great viewer reviews so I’m going to watch.

Posted about this in another tv thread. Reviews of it seems quite mediocre. I'll probably wait until it's fully released.

Post what you think of it. I’ve liked pretty much all of the Aussie shows I’ve seen recently and would like to keep the streak alive!

First episode was very good. Not really what I was expecting. Kind of like The Goonies meets a drug dealing family in Australia. The child actor lead is incredible.

I enjoyed it. IMDB is 8.3-ish.

I agree with fozzy. There are definitely certain strong themes that may turn some people off.

With that said, I'm definitely looking to watch episode 3.

I’m doing the same after 3 episodes. I told myself I’d give it 2 and as much as I don’t want to watch cringe anymore, there was just…. Something happening that kept grabbing my attention. It’s tough to get through certain scenes multiple times an episode, but I think the scene with them at the end of episode 3 was a freaking masterclass in quite a few things, and that alone committed me to the rest of the season.

I saw a random YT short, a clip of a movie I had never heard of, Detachment (2011)

I just watched it, very dark drama about Adrien Brody as a substitute teacher, many other stars also. It's good. It's on Peacock and Tubi.

I thought first episode was kinda meh. Watched most of second episode and just didn't care and stopped. Never grabbed me or made me want to watch more.

Way late to the game, but I Think You Should Leave is maybe the most uncomfortably absurd and absurdly uncomfortable skit comedy show I've ever seen.

I had tears in my eyes on the last scene of the dinner with an old professor when the professor says there's a little boy inside of him and his wife should be in jail because that little boy goes down on her every night <cut scene>

For me, the finale was terrible though and now I'm wishing I had just left it alone after ep. 1.

I agree with 1/2 of the last sentence. It was just unnecessarily ridiculous but I am actually glad that I watched the show.
