The Trailer Park
I know I just said that I get bored of spooky things but that one did manage to keep me interested for the whole of the first season so I'll see how it goes.

That also sounds familiar but I still can't remember details.
Last night I watched Jumanji: The Next Level and it was slightly entertaining rubbish, but it did make me laugh at least twice with some video game jokes.
At its worst it was rather embarrassing watching The Rock trying to act like Danny Devito and failing so very badly. Especially when another character also had to act like him later and they did it brilliantly. I felt a bit sorry for the big guy then. Just stick to those limited roles, Mr Rock.
After that I watched The Lighthouse which was a completely different kind of movie.

Regarding Requiem:
Episodes 1 through 5 were essentially a detective story figuring out what happened to Carys Howell 23 years earlier. And I'd say they figured it out pretty thoroughly. There were some spooky noises in the background but the ghostly bits seemed kind of redundant. Then in the last episode it was all about the spooky magic stuff. In spite of Matilda and her too sharply cut hair being warned, and also pretty much knowing what all had happened, she was fooled by one of the "cult members" and then persuaded by another, to do exactly what they wanted her to do ("in order to find out the truth").
And then it was all over - her friend thought "it was too late for her" and that was the last we saw of him. All the bad guys ended up in graves (very obvious shallow graves that the Police couldn't find) but there was nothing on how they reacted when they realised they'd done something really stupid and wouldn't at all get what they expected. It was also never clear what the heck they expected to get out of it. One of them had a disabled son who would somehow be helped by this. But what was wrong with him in the first place and how would it help him and what happened to him when his dad went and got himself killed? And now that stupid Matilda is possessed, what does the entity want? Is it going to pretend to be Matilda and live happily ever after?
And as usual I hate the trope that everything "horror" has to be left unresolved. Why can't a story be a horror story AND have a happy ending?
Oh and WHO KILLED ALL THOSE SHEEP??? Was it "the thin ones" or someone or something else?

Along with a bit of moody cello.

I've got about 20 days until my Christmas subscription runs out so I should be able to fit it in.
Meanwhile.. season three of Penny Dreadful.
*play*

I certainly liked that one a lot better than the vaguely remembered Requiem. The chemistry of the female characters made it very watchable and entertaining.

On Saturday I snoozed my way through The Dark Knight Rises, which wasn't too much of a problem as I've seen it before and my "excellent" memory filled in the gaps.
But last night I missed a substantial amount of Penny Dreadful after falling Very Asleep in a depressingly deep way.
Will have to try and rewatch tonight... if I can stay awake.
