I think doc is more thinking about crap like The Toys That Made Me, the tmnt episode of which I grudgingly sat through. Obviously if netflix gave hazel a deal that'd be rad.

yeah i remember when that came out and i was like "that sounds interesting" and i never watched it, i guess it wasn't interesting
i genuinely love "wallpaper television" like "how it's made" though. you know, it's like some kids are with videos of construction equipment

that stuff would be ok if it was done "slow TV" style, can't be doing with excitable talkovers tho

yeah, one of the worst things about almost all television is overactive narrators, especially when they're supposed to be funny/cheeky/zany. for example, there are many horrible things about Love Island, but deleting the narrator is the single thing you could do that would most reduce the suffering of watching it, or passing through a room where it's on.

This is quite late but I did see a trailer for Maestro before Fallen Leaves some weeks ago and had a real "who in the world would be interested in this?" reaction.
Also, currently discussed on the anti-semitism thread, had one look at One Life poster at a bus stop and that was enough to know this was going to be one to avoid.

I can't bring myself to watch Wicked Little Letters despite quite a few people telling me it's good - balanced by one friend walking out of it after less than half an hour.

"Best British comedy film of the year" blurb makes it sound v unappealing.

I seem to remember very very early press was dreadful then suddenly switched arcs to 4* across the board.
