The plot/synopsis according to Discovery UK (this is the first episode of a series, not a film):
For decades great white shark numbers fell in the waters around New York. With seals now back in the city harbour, are the sharks returning?

One of the best “hero” scenes ever. I loved every minute of this episode. Thank you for the links. :)
Magically, apparently the original Link I posted the advisory on 9 months ago has been deleted and replaced. I have amended it to more accurately reflect the current status. Perhaps you may wish to do the same to avoid further confusion for the viewers sake.
I don’t see any confusion in stating that the whole movie is in two parts. Thanks for the suggestion though and best of luck always. :)
Sick and twisted. We just heard about Gabriel Fernandez; this is WORSE, so much worse. If that can even be possible. How does this happen?
SHAME on the public services in America. No one cares about these children.
The top three+ reasons to love this episode: the “toilet” scene; Jimmy and Kim’s growing relationship; Jimmy’s love and devotion to his brother Chuck + Mike. Sounds really like a drama, but this is one dark comedy with twist after twist. I’d forgotten how brilliant it is. Thank you uploaders and uplinkers for making the viewing possible with the links.
WOW. This is an amazing amalgamation of genres and styles that is 110% entertainment at it’s best. “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”, “Alien”, “Blade Runner” and sprinkling of anime and a pinch of retro (yet, not), and some black humour, as well as excellent visuals and multiple and ever-expansive story-lines and that’s what this treasure is. And we’ve got all the episodes in abundance! This is a binge watcher’s dream come true. Somehow for me, this series was more like watching a film, even if I were to watch the episodes one at a time. Thanks for all the links, uplinkers.
A super fun slash em up-thriller with a twist. Nothing serious or groundbreaking, just an easy, fun watch.
This was an enjoyable, easy to follow, predictable tale. The best part of the film is the screen time between Dakota Johnson and Kelvin Harrison Jr.. They have a natural chemistry together and I hope to see more work between them. Other than that, the characters are the cliché good, bad, self-absorbed, over-worked and materialistic; it’s quite transparent who is what, there is not a shred of deciphering to be done by the viewer. I did like the twist, but not enough time was devoted to it. It should have come during the second act, not the final act, after the reveal that David’s father had reared him alone due to his mother abandoning the family. All in all, a film worth watching once. 3/5 no higher.
Something about Kurt (no surprise there) makes every character he plays authentic… Kris Kringle is no exception. :)
This episode had me on the edge of my seat, arguing with the characters! I absolutely loved it. I am thrilled to have such a wonderful, horror/crime/mystery to watch. This series has not disappointed (so far) in being one of the best Stephen King adaptations to date. I will definitely be binging the whole thing once it is completed. Highly recommended for Stephen King fans.
This woman has a resiliency and bravery that is nearly inspirational. After being kidnapped, beaten, raped, tortured and manually strangled/left for dead, this story nearly blind-sided me with its blackness, until the closing segment and her commitment to be an absolute survivour.
F*G American Prosecution, only concerned with winning cases no matter what, finding someone, anyone, regardless of guilt or innocence and pinning a bunch of shite all over them. Those people are the scum of the earth and should be in jail themselves. It was so easily explained. Something needs to be done about this. Justice??? This is in no way, shape or form justice. I hope this system falls apart. It desperately needs a complete overall. Fu*ers.
Whilst Season 1 was a let down for me (having read the book and expecting this adaptation to come with a bit of background on Charlie Manx), I am enjoying Season 2 for exactly that reason; it is following the origin story for Manx and Christmasland. I would recommend that anyone who starts the series, starts with Season 2 and then goes to Season 1. There is nearly nothing lost in the reversal and for this “NOS4A2” fan makes it highly recommended and actually frightening (Season 1 didn’t have a scare to be had). 3.8/5
A nostalgic look at the way we saw (cinematically) dragons, wizards, lords, ladies, and “common folk” of this fantasy directed “King Arthur” period in “history” from the early 1980’s. This film is of particular interest to pre-Lord of the Rings fans and those in love with the idea of dragons and wizards. Truly, a cinematic example of excellence for the time period and a favourite for all those longing for virtue and innocence.
“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” is every bit a classy Spider-man ,full length animation that adheres to the graphic novel and entertains, simultaneously. The animation is seamless and comprehensive. The characters are engaging and complimentary. I especially enjoyed the use of stylised graphics and the introduction of the story-line. Even elements I didn’t think would work (like “Peter Porker) were accomplished with the grace befitting a true Spider-man feature. It was a pleasure to watch.
This BBC production is one of the most insulting and trite ever to emerge from the pipeline. Avoid this at all costs.
Another excellent episode in this Documentary-style, crime series. This series is completely consuming and a compelling watch.
The synopsis of this film does not at all do the article justice in its description. This film is a living song of obsession, sexual desire motivated by deep psychological influences, societal expectations, and extreme impulsivity. The acting on behalf of the entire cast, but especially by Jeremy Irons and Juliette Binoche is captivating and unparalleled in any other film. There are times without any dialogue that asks the viewer to join the actors in completely loosing themselves to the urges without question. Easily one of the best films ever made. It is highly underrated and underappreciated.
I lived in Japan for a while and can legitimately argue that Westernised porn and Hentai (Magna animated porn with an actual intricate plot and artwork) are chalk and cheese… as are any live action porn in Japan and in the West. They are just different things due to how vastly different the cultures are. Someone reared in the West and never having been to Japan would have vastly different cultural norms that are so intrinsically bound to their persona that they wouldn’t be affected at the same level as someone from Japan would around Hentai. Hentai does have a story, and the artists who develop the animation and writers who write the stories, do so in a way that mainstream softcore or hardcore Western porn does not. A quasi-fair comparison (because there really isn’t any animation to compare) to Hentai in Western porn would be Suze Randall (and now her daughter Holly Randall). Hentai was traditionally of the same standard as Suze Randall’s photography. In Japan, if you were to buy any Hentai prints, there would be a X covering where the genitals would be. Some of the art work is actually quite beautiful, as were Suze Randall’s pictures.
“Countdown” begins the predictable journey of most higher-end (budget/editing wise) jump-scare “horror” films. The jump scares are hollow, contrived and obnoxious, with 100% jump ratio over a not a scare to be had. This film has adequate acting, but for the main course, there is nothing outstanding, noteworthy or engaging. If you are looking for a formulaic “thriller/horror” this one will fit that niche, provided you are not viewing it for anything original or remotely scary. The reliance on jump scares winds the viewer up with tension and very little else.
Spot on. :) (Another way to tell is that YKJ’s links always have his name on them.)
Man, this movie was FILLED with jump scares, with nothing to show for it. The actor playing the priest, was overacting so much, it was almost comical. Almost. basically, this movie was a dud, for the genre. I wouldn’t recommend it.
I completely agree. I was very disappointed in this film.
This episode freaked me out! The synopsis above does not allude in the slightest to the extent the horror of this murderer, stalker and sociopath subjected Candy Williams to. For me it is nearly unbelievable to learn that this is a true crime https://murderpedia.org/male.Z/z/zimmer-peter-photos.htm. This episode is a horrific accounting of what really happened.
As a standalone without the history of the “Terminator” franchise, this film is 128 minutes of constant CGI-driven action. As far as an intricate plot and engaging characters, it’s sorely lacking. Apart from the CGI-action, it’s yawn worthy. Perhaps it’s that I expected to at least need to think about what the story-line was telling me, but this film didn’t require any of the more advanced senses. I can see both the virtue of watching it and the reasons behind not needing to. I wouldn’t call this story “Terminator”; I’d call it a spin-off, once removed.
I found this series to be incredibly tame and predictable, I’m sorry to say. I was really looking forward to something that had a bit of spiciness and gore, no such luck. It is not a bad series, it’s just the Brady Bunch of horror, complete with a Rob Lowe look-alike. It is a passable time filler for me, nothing more.
I cannot believe this series is serious! As a comedy, it works, as a serious, human contestant against trained grizzly, it’s ludicrous. The premise was something I had to check out, but the entire competition is laughable. It’s definitely a good way to check out what steroids can do the human body, though. Poor bear growling and roaring on queue, that bit really got to me after a while.
This exposé/documentary is incredibly upsetting. As someone who has worked with children, this death, and the unfathomable extended torture of a vulnerable child is unforgivable. I do not condone the actions of any adults who were in the know in this case. They all failed. This six part “Crime” series contains facts about this child’s preventable torture and death. It is tragic. It is sickening. GET INVOLVED, save a vulnerable human; do not turn away because it’s “not your business” to be involved. Highly recommended, and highly sensitive viewing.
“Uncut Gems” is a thoroughly engrossing, hectic character study of a diamond/jewelry broker in New York City. The look and feel of this film is frantic and chaotic. It encapsulates the personality and life-style of the broker, Howard, whose life is literally held together by what-if’s, gambles and impetuous trades, even at the expense of familial relationships, and his own reputation. Truly, this film had me captivated in a tense and anxiety drenched fervor to see what would happen next. Adam Sandler is well-utilised in the film beyond his usual ranting bellows into a character that is believable and hard to look away from.
This “Pilot” episode for Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector is a re-telling of the origin story that vacillates between Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs/Donaghy (found in a somewhat longer version in the movie “The Bone Collector” 1999 https://www.primewire.li/movie/344902-watch-the-bone-collector). I found the pacing of this episode to be tedious and predictable, even as a stand alone (without knowledge of the movie). If you’ve seen the 1999 movie, you know what to expect, so it’s the acting and direction that should provide some substance. For me, it did not. However, I will watch future episodes in the hopes that the “hunt” will prove to be a better written, directed and acted result.
“The most Micheal Bay movie Micheal Bay ever Micheal Bayed”, from an IMDB reviewer and spot on. Lots of fun, but I agree with many other reviewers…editing was terrible with some truly cringe-worthy film-making faux pas. If you can’t get an over the top action movie right in 127 minutes…3/5.
The editing of this film was so jerky and dissociative, I couldn’t enjoy it at all. The humour seemed forced with all the glaring continuity errors. I’m glad others enjoyed it, but for me it was not something I would ever recommend. The story arc was forced and the laughs were predictable. All down to the editing.
I am in love with this entire movement. I cannot wait until episode 3 (of 6). This is an amazing journey of rehabilitation that helps us humans at level I cannot communicate effectively. A must watch for those interested in life. Full stop.
As a Godzilla fan, I love this film. It’s very accurate because it’s Japanese and this is where the whole Godzilla “legend” , or more accurately, Kaiju, originates. Godzilla (“Gojira”) is a metaphor, as are all Kaiju. I was excited to see it uplinked here, but sadly none of the links have HC English subs or any subs at all. The film is mainly in Japanese/Japanese sign language, so unless you are fluent in either one, it’s difficult to follow without the translation.
This tragic story of trusting the wrong person is also feature in “On the Case with Paula Zahn” Season 19, Episode 3. The episode for this show is not told identically to the other, which is nice for anyone that’s seen the Paula Zahn version. The case is not “nice”, though. It is tragic and sick and demonstrates a true sociopath that gained the trust of this young woman in order to murder her. The lying and manipulation are horrific. The sentence the killer was issued seems to pale in contrast to what happened. It is a miscarriage of justice, in my opinion.
Anyone who goes to any lengths to cover up child abuse and protect an abuser should hang their head in shame and be removed from society. The Jehovah’s Witnesses elders who do it on the behalf of their [cult] religion make me physically ill. Internal hush documents and hush procedures for the families of victims of abuse are absolutely disgusting and mind boggling. In my experience and knowledge of this religion it is a cult, full stop, and serves people who exploit and abuse children and women. This is a horrific case, but worth watching for the knowledge it provides. We all need to open our eyes.
Rambo: Last Blood is a vengence thriller staring John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone). Whilst in the Rambo universe, it is nothing like “First Blood”, in fact, the meaning of first blood, is completely lost on this film. It has some spectacular gore. The dialogue is predictable, and even without Spanish subtitles, you can guess what is happening. There are several instances that the Rambo from First Blood would never have been in, and therefore, the story has somewhat lost it’s momentum and impetus overall. However, Last Blood is entertaining. I wouldn’t recommend it, but I also wouldn’t say don’t watch it. First Blood is an amazing piece of cinema that will never be replicated with the likes of a film that uses music to tell the viewer how to feel.
Wow. You mean. This. Is. An Actual Movie. People potentially paid to see???? Thank god for illegal streaming. Thank you thank you thank you. If there’s any doubt: AVOID like the Covid… seriously.
PO Stephanie Jones is a hoot! I really hope they have more episodes with her on it, and going out to Kodiak. Kodiak was a really interesting place to see policed.
If I was a believer in “End Times” I’d say a plague of these Burmese Pythons,which is precisely what’s going on here, is more than enough proof. Call it what you will, it is in fact, an infestation of the highest order. Through no fault of the snake itself, it is once again hu-Man’s doing the prep work for the road to hell. Nice paving job, humans. There is no shortage of these snakes here. They need to be eradicated before it’s too late. I hope it isn’t too late. If you fancy watching them attempt to bag endless amounts of these reptiles, this is the show for you.
ok i have to kno who the band-name who performed the last track on this episode
any idea welcome
“Villains” is a quirky, black-ish comedy along the lines of “I Don’t Feel At Home In This World Anymore”. Bill Skarsgård once again transforms himself into his character, and makes the film worth viewing despite the fact the the film overall fails to achieve the darkness of a true black comedy. Although listed as a Thriller and Horror in addition to its Comedy status, it is neither. The film climaxes early on and then proceeds to plateau and meander to the extent that the viewer can disengage from the characters and story. I am glad I saw it due to Bill Skarsgård’s performance. It is certainly worth a viewing if you enjoy his work
This season (2) has actually topped, and bested, every expectation I had for it. What an amazing wrap up, made even more amazing by the fact that every one of Stephen King’s books can now come to life in this series. I am filled to the water line with excitement over what book and which characters will come next and how it will all be brought together. To have a show with talent on every aspect like this, is the reason I watch anything.
I’m really fed up with the roller coaster of engaging episode followed by a complete dud… like this one. If I had one recommendation for anyone thinking of watching this series; wait until they are ALL uploaded so the binge will be congruent and eventful. Waiting a week between the duds isn’t worth it (to me).
Don’t need subs. Its Dutch but English version is uploaded with Spanish subs, so why is it for you not worth it? The most things on this site are English or English subs?
Thanks for the information on the dubbed links.
For anyone else looking for the English dubbed links it should be noted that only the uploaded links that have “Vose” in the file name are dubbed. The others are in Dutch and do not have any HC subs or subtitles in the menu options.
The pacing of the last 2 episodes (inclusive of this one) has been on the less than enthralling side of Horror/Thriller/Drama. The (supposed) subtle nuances drag and feel a bit like lead weights in the forward momentum of the story. I’m hoping the next episode will pick up and allow the viewer to observe, and not be as led by the nose, into the undercurrent of symbolism.
Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive… Isn’t it always the ones that cry wolf the loudest? This is a very strange documentary, but quite watchable.
What’s going on here? This installment went in a way I did not expect. Can the Dane please stick to the English accent or throw it all in the bin and just speak the way he speaks naturally? His constant vacillation throws my ability to suspend my disbelief out the window.
I went into this show with expectations that it would be a lightish-dark, teenage, wiccan-friendly fare. I was pleasantly surprised at the production value, and the sinister overtones and underpinings. It’s not perfect, but it is original in presentation and story-line. I have no idea how this would measure up to any wiccan-related subject matter or facts, but I was entertained AND (bonus) I felt the episode was handled with frequently dark insinuations in nearly every scene. I will be watching the next episode, to see where they go with this, hopeful that it will not digress into teenage angst and dramady. (The rating system does not allow for 1/2 stars. This is a 3.5/5 for me.)
“Color Out of Space” is produced by Spectrevision (Elijah Wood is Creative Director), who also produced the visceral “Mandy” with Nic Cage. It is a high-end, Lovecraftian-based film which feels like a cross-between “Annihilation” and “The Thing”. It is loosely based on the short story by the same name by H.P. Lovecraft. The changes to the movie are extremely well done and fitting of a Lovecraft themed film. The cast is remarkably cohesive in their overall hysteria and strangeness which makes the acting top-notch. Cage is as weird in this one as he was in “Mandy”. It is NOT a film for those who do not like the in your face, disturbing visuals that Lovecraft is known for. Highly recommended for Lovecraft aficionados.
(Review not Discussion)I’ve seen a lot about “Exotic Joe” through the years and even been to his “centre” years back, as well as Carol Baskin’s. In the rescue circles, Carol is not considered an activist. She is considered an exploiter. She does turn a huge profit. There is a lot of practicality to rescuing large animals, and captive breeding, if they are kept well. Considering how much humans have fucked up their natural world there really isn’t a clear cut “right and wrong”, although straight up abuse can be obvious. What I witnessed was a money making machine on both accounts, however both places kept the animals very well. I cannot speak to the “murder for hire” bit. That’s still coming up in this series. As always, Netflix Docos are top notch and simultaneously entertaining. This is highly watchable. The judgement of it all has to be reserved till later, if at all.
(This is a 4.5/5 for me. The system does not allow for 1/2 stars in it’s individual calculations.)

Kevin Bacon was absolutely underused in this version/adaptation. Good lord, I’m sick of Amanda Seyfried. Espeically as a mum/sexy actresss she’s frigging overused to the point of exhaustion on the behalf of ANY viewer. She cannot act her way through a older man/younger woman scenario…. why even cast her, except for HOT points … the little girl… Avery Tiiu Essex (as the daughter Ella) has the same facial points Amanda does… why make this feature the “new white female” sex extreme… especially in a child! Hollywood is ruining careers now. Boring and predictable to the extreme, do your laundry whilst you watch this wanna be adaptation of the novel by the same name (“You Should Have Left: A Novel” by Daniel Kehlmann and Ross Benjamin) was so much more superior I’m shocked that this made Mr. Bacon (a very accomplished actor) take the role. It literally sucked. Sorry. I gave a 3/5, but a 1 will do as well. Choose your chores wisely; don’t devote full attention to this one or you’ll regret it. Not scary, not original, not even relatable in any sense.
