Mercy For None.
Korean gangster/revenge thing. Very confusing but that might just be the racist in me as all the names sounded the same and in all honesty most of them could have been related. Nonetheless, it was well worth persevering on a “Strike Back” sort of vibe. Lots and I do mean lots, of blood, guts and OTT violence. The plot? Nonsensical. The dubbing? Awful. The watchability? Right up there as long as you have a bit of a puerile penchant
5 gallons of blood out of 5 still going strong after multiple bullet wounds and stabbings.
Looks like the same person !

Adding to my up next selection sounds awesome

Another vote in support of Dept Q, Mrs Womble and I binged it over the last few nights
a couple of jarring scenes but in hind sight they justified them in in the plot
Will 100% watch a second season

Surviving Black Hawk Down
3 ep Doco on Netlfix
Is pretty good, they have people from both sides of the conflict speaking.

Reacher S03
- I understand the hatred
- But it is sticking SOOO fucking true to the style of the books.
And that's what apple does so well. - I actually kinda respect that, if nothing else
- Last episode was total fucking ridiculous-ness, but. Didn't make a lick of sense
- Tit-watch - close, but no cigar. Fuck that shit.

It’s an Amazon Prime production

Fuck.
Don't know what you're talking about. -
Add me to the list of Dept Q fans.
Finished this last night and despite the dark content, was an enjoyable series
I think it was good how the last ep, particularly the last 10 or so was more on the afterglow of the success rather than they catch the bad guy, save the victim cut to credits. -
Smoke
Watched two back to back on Apple last night
Excellent

The only thing I hated about the last Ep was how they fucken touched everything at the crime scene! This despite them telling the dumb cop off in E1 for the very same thing

Far North
Locals Tem Morrison and Robyn Malcolm mess up a $500M drug smuggling operation. On Stan.
Enjoyed.
Series captured Kaitaia and Ahipara in winter brilliantly, e.g., little things like bright orange citrus fruit in soaking wet gardens, everything damp, the ramshackle clutter of the houses in Ahipara with the stashed cray pots. Got the nostalgic juices flowing. Even the scene in the golf course.
Did think the weather they portrayed was insanely good and settled for a ridiculously extended period, especially in the middle of winter.
And Tem gave good Northland dude vibes, laconic with the appropriate wardrobe, the vest, shorts and beanie.
I do have an issue that all movies with a bunch of Polynesian character plays them like extras from Sione's Wedding. I have no doubt the actual protagonists would have been nasty arrogant pricks (who had no idea about boats) rather than bumbling loveable twits.
Not a fan of the portrayal of the cops, although it's entirely possible they would have been slow on the uptake.
The Toia story line was a redundant red herring.
Also, what the fuck was Louie doing driving into a no exit road to Totara North?
Got pissed off with the subtitles. Every time the Chinese characters started speaking the subtitles came up with "speaks foreign language" slap bang across the actual subtitles so you could not read what they were saying. GOM.
Worth a watch.
Am off to google the actual story.

@booboo I don't recall the Chinese subtitle issue...I know some programs they leave you not knowing what is said as the main people won't understand either, but the version I watched had the English subtitles I think

Just a GOM thing. The film-makers had provided subtitles for when the Chinese were speaking (you needed to know what they were saying), but the automatically generated ones blanked them out.
Meant I was turning them on and off the whole time.
Probably needed someone from NZ to run their eyes over what spewed out anyway as some of the words were obviously wrong.

Finished Mobland last night, great overall. Little annoyed about the Conrad and Maeve likely to be out of prison so soon, that could have given Kevin and Seraphina more of a run. Hardy was great in this series and it may have not been as effective without him. Still a good watch with a few good songs throughout including the catchy theme song.

I hate this, so many shows have this issue, I'm slightly deaf (have a hearing aid) so use captions on almost everything and when they speak a foreign language which has show placed subtitles, yet the TV/AI over right them with "Speaking a foreign language" bloody annoying.
The other thing is when the subtitles are so far behind what's being said. grrrrrr -
@Mainlander I use the subtitles more often than not because so often the sound effects are much louder than the conversations.
