I watched “Diana The Musical” last night and for two hours I just had my mouth open and a confused shocked look on my face, it was the most bizarre thing I have ever witnessed, the whole thing is in very poor taste

To be fair, I've never seen it but I could have told you that

I haven't seen it, but seems there's a bit of criticism going round over Squid Game's translation:

A few examples in the thread.

A lot of people also saying it's due to her using the English CC subs which subs the English dub rather than using the normal English subs which aren't nearly as bad.

So as long as you aren't watched dubbed or using the CC subs it should be fine.

I don't know what Netflix have done to it but the resolution is awful, pixilation in background shots. Wrong aspect ratio too. :(

I've been finding the video compression on Netflix to be absolutely horrendous lately - almost to the point of unwatchability sometimes. Reminds me of watching downloaded hour-long episodes of shows with file sizes of about 150 Mb.

Seinfeld looked great when it was on Prime.

One of the all-time great sitcoms. George from Seinfeld is literally Larry David, a lot of stuff George does in Seinfeld is stuff from Larry's real life.

:lol: I don't know if you got to the "job quitting" story with George yet, but Larry David genuinely did that.

Yeah it was Saturday Night Live. Kramer talked him into it.

It's a bit ridiculous that Larry David did Seinfeld and influenced a whole generation of sitcoms and then went from that to Curb, which is the greatest show of all time.

Wife and I are currently sobbing at Squid Game. Get it watched if you haven't already.

I've never seen a single episode of Seinfeld - but I've always been too embarrassed to say so.

I don't think that is embarrassing. I personally think Seinfeld is overrated pap he just isn't funny. I also dislike Curb.

Tried watching a couple of their new horrors and they’re a load of guff - A Classic Horror Story, and There’s Someone in Your House. Rubbish!

I watched the latter.

My recommendation would be to avoid wasting 90 minutes like I did. Even for this type of genre it was wafer thin on, well, everything.
