What series? I need a new one too

...she said that she started watching it and then finished around 4am after binging around 10 episodes...

Oh cool, I'll check that one out

[Niamh.]

There's one called Circle(not the Circle, that's a different one) on netflix which looks a bit weird/interesting, Gavin always kills me for choosing these type of films though because 9 times out of 10 they're ****e, but i think it's worth it to find that 1 that's amazing

The trailer doesn't show a lot but this is the synopsis :

Fifty strangers facing execution have to pick one person among them to live.

I've seen it. It's really, really good. Definitely would recommend.

Oh really? Great, thanks Tony

[Ammi]

...The storyline sounds interesting, I’ll watch at the weekend.....

[Ammi]

...I did start watching Spinning Out...btw, Niamh...I watched around 8 episodes and I am finding it a bit addictive but it’s strange because it’s not the type of thing that I would have generally watched...it is a bit slower paced and quite focused on mental health, specifically in gifted athletes ...not just focusing on their own hopes and dreams etc, but the living up to those of families/parents etc as well..anyways, that’s all I’ll say, I’m not sure if you’d like it or not but I’m liking it and liking that it’s something different for me...

[Niamh.]

I watched a few episodes last night Ammi, it's very good

[Ammi]

...it’s a really excellent young female cast, especially... and January Jones as Carol/a diagnosed bi polar sufferer is also a wonderful casting...

[Ammi]

...Circle...

Spoiler:

...this is a really interesting concept and I’m glad that you chose it, Niamh ...because it’s just so completely different to anything else we’ve watched...we don’t really get to know any of the characters/to engage with them because that’s one of the main points of it...that these 50 ‘random strangers’ are chosen for 49 of them to be ‘eliminated’ by death...(...except that they’re not entirely random because some do have knowledge of each other...)...but we don’t really know how the selection works or what the aim is...to cull Earth population and only leave those who can beat the Circle/survive the Circle...?...it’s always interesting to watch human nature and human dynamics in a ‘survive’ situation, pack together and isolate etc..and interesting as well because of the times that we’re living in now and how ‘selection’ for the vaccine first is based on vulnerabilities but with this instant life or death, thing...the old/vulnerable were selected to go first at one point...and then that ‘old’ got less and less ‘old’ as self protection kicked in so the age would become younger and younger...I thought the ending of that 50 was quite predictable in that he was going to go against the pregnant lady and protect himself...but yeah, we purposefully don’t get to know much about these people because we’re seeing them through each other’s eyes plus the eyes of the alien ‘selector’....it was unusual, it was interesting and it was a good watch...

Circle

Spoiler:

It was OK, I knew that last guy was going to double cross them though. I was a bit confused by the ending, was that same guy going to be zoomed up again for another round? Was he a plant or were the aliens going to just keep beaming everyone up until there's no one left?

Who would you have saved Ammi? I think I'd have to go with the kid over the pregnant woman. Looks like there's no way she would have survived anyway because they counted her as 2 so she could never win.

Spoiler:

...the little girl...always actual life over potential life which was what the unborn child was...there was no certainty that the unborn child would survive or that the mother would survive etc...(...also The Girl With All of the Gifts....children have a tremendous capacity for survival as well...)...


...I assumed yeah, that it would continue and continue until there was a stop to ‘the culling’....maybe they had a certain amount that they wanted to survive in having felt that they’re created ‘more superior/intelligent beings...the best of the best, type thing...

...I mean, it wasn’t a movie that you could attach to any of the characters particularly U.K. it was interesting because there was so little time to choose as well...as opposed to being locked in a room for hours and hours or days and days etc...

[Niamh.]

Spoiler:

Also she was really cute You'd have to be a special kind of **** to let her kill herself like that I think.

[Ammi]

Spoiler:

...yeah, he was definitely a special kind of **** for sure...I wonder if he would go on to become and expert manipulator and keep surviving circle after circle....hmmmmmm...

...I guess that you’ve seen Crazy Rich Asians..?..it’s on Netflix atm...

[Niamh.]

Yeah I've seen that, it's fine but not one I'd like to rewatch really

[Ammi]

....awwww, this has a really interesting write up but it’s the last day that it’s showing on Netflix...

Youtube video

[Ammi]

...oh no, sorry...the last day to watch is 30th March...I need to learn to read whole sentences ...

[Ammi]

...it’s described as a ‘disorienting drama’...interesting...?..

[Niamh.]

Oh yes, I like the look of that one, lets watch that then

[Ammi]

......


...there is another one..White Tiger...that has a good rating so we’ll check that as a future possibility as well, I’m loving that new ones are coming on so quickly now...

[Niamh.]

I've already seen White Tiger, I think I might have suggested it a while back but we went with a different film so I just watched that one myself

...was it good, is it worth a watch on the ‘us pile’ to watch with my OH...?...

[Ammi]

...oh I also saw that you watched Molly’s Game...?...the only thing that I wasn’t sure with that is for some reason I thought it was sex games...but it seems t9 be gambling...?..i only recall it as one of the pics in pub quiz and she was tied to the bed...so, yeah...sex games, I thought...

No that's Gerald's game you're thinking of that was in Pub Quiz. Molly's game is really good, it's about Poker no sex games in sight
