I was wondering if anyone has watched the Netflix movie "A Week Away." I would love to connect with others who are fans of this film.
Just no. The previous version with Theresa Russell was just that good. I also lover in 'Bad Timing: A Sensual Obsession'. That film spoke to me on a visceral level when I was a young women - it must have been my yet-unconscious feminist self'. I'm kind of sad, TBH, that I had that reaction.New footage released for Black Widow and Loki:

This is a Marvel movie based on a comic book character that has absolutely, 100% nothing to do with that Debra Winger/Theresa Russell movie.Just no. The previous version with Theresa Russell was just that good.
When is it done? So that I can binge on it. I seriously dislike having to wait for new episodes. I'm doing the same thing with season 4 of The Handmaid's Tale. I will not watch it until all of it is available.I don't know if anyone has HBO or HBOMAX but Kate Winslet, this cast (particularly Jean Smart), the unsolved mysteries and the writers are killing it on "Mare of Easttown." I LOVE this series.
Like @Yehudi said, it’s a totally different movie and source material. The new Black Widow film is based on the comic book character who has been one of the main characters of the Avengers franchise. But I’m glad you mentioned the Theresa Russell/Debra Winger film. I remember seeing that too and enjoying it.Just no. The previous version with Theresa Russell was just that good. I also lover in 'Bad Timing: A Sensual Obsession'. That film spoke to me on a visceral level when I was a young women - it must have been my yet-unconscious feminist self'. I'm kind of sad, TBH, that I had that reaction.

Next Sunday is the finale.When is it done? So that I can binge on it. I seriously dislike having to wait for new episodes. I'm doing the same thing with season 4 of The Handmaid's Tale. I will not watch it until all of it is available.
We have two episodes left so the last episode will be released Sunday, May 30.When is it done? So that I can binge on it. I seriously dislike having to wait for new episodes. I'm doing the same thing with season 4 of The Handmaid's Tale. I will not watch it until all of it is available.
I usually prefer binging too. There are a few shows I feel I would have liked more if I had watched them on a scheduled release instead of being able to view all at once. The Lost in Space release on Netflix was one of those. It was nonstop "DANGER! DANGER!" pacing and I got to a point where it was too much at one time. I started actively cheering for characters to die and decided to stop watching because I didn't care enough about them anymore. I think I would have been less annoyed with more time between episodes.I do this too. I feel like shows have much more impact when you can watch them all at once. (Although we usually just do one episode a night, or two on weekend nights. Still, it's nice to be able to watch straight through for a week or two.)
This is so well done! Kate Winslet and Jean Smart - Wow!I don't know if anyone has HBO or HBOMAX but Kate Winslet, this cast (particularly Jean Smart), the unsolved mysteries and the writers are killing it on "Mare of Easttown." I LOVE this series.
The one has absolutely nothing to do with the other. There is no "previous version." It has the same title, but that's it.Just no. The previous version with Theresa Russell was just that good.
I really can't wait for this one.Yet another clip from Loki.

We finished watching Trapped last night. I wound up enjoying this series a lot. I am definitely into the whole Nordic Noir genre! The scenery was incredible, the setting in general very interesting, and it was intriguing to get a glimpse into Icelandic society. I felt like Season 1 got off to a bit of a slow start, but picked up pace midway through. It took me a while to warm up to the characters, but I was pulled in by the end. Season 2 I found compulsively interesting from the first episode onward. I enjoyed the political dimensions to the story, and I was thrown for a loop when they combined that with this dark family drama at the end of the season. A review that I read mentioned how aspects of the family drama paid tribute to Icelandic sagas in some ways. Loved most of the actors, particularly the three main cops, Hjortur, Vikingur ( ), and Elin. My one qualm that I'm puzzling over is ...The death of Asgeir in Season 2. I don't know why the producers/writers killed him off. His death didn't feel like an organic or necessary part of the story, but just another killing. Perhaps the actor didn't want to do another series?? In any case, I will miss him, as he was a big part of the show for me. And, I wanted to see him and Gudrun hook up!! LOL
@starrynight Yes, I agree that the characterization of Andri's daughter was a bit extreme. As I watched her, I kept asking myself, Is this realistic, or just a plot point?
But I did learn a lot about Iceland. One thing being that are one of the biggest coffee drinkers in the world - and we can see in Trapped that people are drinking coffee any time of the day or night.
I noticed that too! LOL. It was like the first line in every scene: "Would you like coffee?" I don't know how they do it!
That is such a fun show. I loved it.I was recommended to watch "Jane the Virgin". And I LOVE it!!! Just finished season 1. I highly recommend it!
ITA about the second season. But it was going to be hard to top that fantastic first season. I watched it in the sweltering heat of summer. There is something very satisfying about watching mysteries in frigid weather in the blazing heat of summer. And I like Olaf!Trapped was AWESOME. The idea of an isolated cut off Icelandic town in the depth of winter as the bodies start piling up is a great setting for a murder mystery. I did prefer season 1, but I certainly wasn't complaining that I had a second season to watch.
The main thing that irked me about season 2 is that they overdid the rebellious teenager thing and had his daughter be too silly and wilfully ignorant (like not realising using that mobile phone would be dangerous etc etc) I think it would have been more effective to frame her as a well meaning but naive/foolish wannabe detective or something
If you like Icelandic things... watch the comedy special (in English) on Netflix called 'Pardon my Icelandic'. There's a couple of very funny jokes about Trapped in it.
Watching Halston on Netflix and on the second episode. Interesting so far....
