    I’ll be starting on season 3 of Glow tonight, glad to see it’s back.
    There’s a Glow documentary on Netflix, I would recommend to anyone who enjoyed Glow.
    As someone who’s still a wrestling fan from childhood, Glow was never shown outside of America, whilst I was a kid taking in WWF/WWE hulk hogan, macho man, ultimate warrior and co these women were wrestling on a show every week as well.
    Interesting to hear all about it in their own words, some of them had no idea it was going to involve actual wrestling when they went for auditions.

    Edit-
    Preacher season 4 is on as well? Awesome sauce.

      Part of me is hoping that as soon as I post this, someone's going to tell me off for missing a 20 page thread or rampant discussion just pages back in here, but is anyone else watching Dark?

      I'm slowly making my way through the second season, and I'm really enjoying it, despite having concerns about how the first season closed. It's (still) excellent at setting mood, has great cinematography, and is just this dense, complex, moody wonder.

        I didn't enjoy that.
        At least it wasn’t a group of guys making the joke, THAT would of been a series killer in one scene.

            The Naked Director

            It's about a Japanese salesman who gets into making pornos and wants to revolutionise the industry. We haven't binged anything in a while but we watched seven episodes this weekend. One more to go!

              13 Reasons S3
              Yeah, no. Not a good idea.

              All the main characters conspire to frame Monty for the murder of Bryce, Monty having been killed in his jail cell after being arrested for sexually assaulting Tyler.
              The narrative that begins at the start of the series isn't actually what has happened!


              Season 4 will be the last and I have low expectations.

                Finished S3 of GLOW last night.
                It's been a fun ride and the shorter episodes have made it perfect binge material.
                I watched it with my wife, which I'm finding tricky to find something we both like.
                There are a lot of characters to follow, so some are a bit 2D, but the important ones have enough depth that you want them to succeed and overcome their weaknesses.

                If that's not enough to sway you, there's loads of bewbs.

                  We've got the last 2 eps of Glow to go tonight and between the direction of the real Glow, the storylines and Netflix hat trick cancellation approach we're assuming the last ep of S3 will be The End. It's been a great show but it feels done and like it's wrapping up.

                    I'm not sure how many season 3 episodes I have left to go but I really like the show. Yes, there are some characters who are just set dressing and never moved beyond that (the toxic two, former old ladies in particular) but I guess with the short run time and amount of wrestlers needed to be believable that's probably to be expected. I find it's a show with a great balance - not too gripping, not hard work but not so whimsical as to have no substance. It delivers quite a lot in its short episodes. And Sam is brilliant.

                      French Group Slams Fests For Netflix Films

                      "Arthouse cinema group CICAE (the International Confederation of Art Cinemas), which represents a bunch of film exhibitors in Europe, has labelled the Venice Film Festival’s inclusion of multiple Netflix films in its line-up a “momentous mistake”.

                      Netflix’s “Marriage Story,” “The Laundromat” and “The King” all played at the fest and have generated much buzz and conversation. Today though CICAE sent out a long letter criticizing Venice, other festivals and the streamer with their model that does away with the theatrical window.


                      Francois Ayme, the President of CICAE’s French chapter, said the industry was at a ‘turning point’:


                      “The co-operation between the main events (Cannes, Venice, Berlin), all facing Netflix with a united front, could once again compel the platform to reconsider its position. Nothing is irreversible and the conundrum over the release of Martin Scorsese’s new movie clearly shows that nothing is settled.

                      For the last sixty years, if national television channels wanted to have their place in the sun on the Lido, they had to respect some rules; co-produce films and diffuse them after their releases in cinemas. Should the global online platforms be exempted de facto from these obligations?

                      General interest in films only comes after the special interest of a powerful company and the short-term vision of a festival largely funded by public money. Small companies are obliged to pay their taxes while multinational carry out tax optimisation.

                      Netflix is just like a large restaurant chain which would like to get three Michelin stars. It does have the ambition and the financial means, but it does not have the essence, let alone the vocation. Supporting and communication this ambition without negotiation is to betray the initial mission of a major festival, which must defend the works first and foremost.”


                      Heading into Venice, the International Union Of Cinemas (UNIC) also called for all films screening at festivals to have a full theatrical release. But overall backlash to Netflix has been much quieter this year as it seems acceptance of the new release paradigm has begun to take effect."

                                It’s crazy good. Netflix’s Japanese stuff is miles better than the stuff on actual Japanese telly.
