Feel good Christmas movie
I loved this, new and fresh. Every Christmas I watch the same great Christmas films, National Lampoons', Christmas with the Kranks and The Santa Claus, I then watch a plethora of bad and boring Christmas films which leave me feeling under the season to be jolly. I had great expectations when I saw this new Christmas film on Netflix, Kurt Russell as santa, genius. And for once, this new Christmas film didn't disappoint, especially the wee unexpected surprise at the end. This film will now sit alongside Lampoons', Kranks and The SC as a must watch favourite Christmas film every year.

The best thing you never watched
Banshee was cancelled because no one watched it. Why did no one watch it? I can't say, those that did watch it raved about it. Maybe it was ahead of its time, pre Netflix shows required well known faces, while Banshee recruited actors who were unknown but fit the character.

It was sexy, violent, dangerous and cool. Criminals who are heroes, a bank robber who replaces the ID of a cop who was murdered so becomes the towns police while at the same time trying to hide from his criminal past which wants to kill him. Brilliant stuff. Go watch it now.

It was through word of mouth that it came to my attention and I have rarely heard anyone having negatives to say about it so that seems to fit with your review. It had the right mix of everything that makes a show work. Timing has a lot to answer for in all the arts.

Family guy was cancelled before word of mouth brought it back. Maybe we can do the same here

I was laughing even though I wasn't meant to (0 more)

so terrible its hilarious
Well what can I say? Netflix has just released a cartoon about Santa Klaus and that is more realistic and believable than this, a film so ridiculous I was laughing out loud all the way through. With moments like a car being attached to a helicopter and the helicopter is lifting up the car but they flip nitrous on and so the wheels start turning fast, gripping the road and thus stopping the helicopter pulling it. Erm, science?

Also the show has more holes than Swiss cheese.

My girlfriend loved it and thought it was a brilliant film.

Life behind bars
Well I'm late to the party on this one. Heard great things about this and it's be on my list on Netflix for ages. At 13 episodes and all around an hour long it is quite a big series.
The first half of the series is very funny as a new prisoner tries to adapt to prison life for carrying drugs 10 years previously. There are some great characters and plot lines in this. I found it was running out of momentum a bit towards the end. Still overall it's a very good series if you have missed it so far.

Love all the highs and lows
This has to be one of the great netflix series at the moment that will hopefully be loved by all for a long time.

I live the fact that it is a close up look into grief, something that can sometimes be overlooked or over dramatised in modern stories.

Each episode is a whirlwind of emotions. The highs and low juxtaposition one another so well, making each one seem better/worse than it would if they weren't coupled.

Some excellent characters that work really well together and create the highs/loss throughout.

Joe Wilkinson is something else, absolute dynamite of a man.
