• 'Below' (no spoilers)

    From moviePig@nobody@nowhere.com to rec.arts.tv on Fri Oct 16 18:43:14 2026
    From Newsgroup: rec.arts.tv


    Both the government and Mother Nature have it in for a little Canadian
    fishing village. The mostly creature-feature 'Below' is a six-parter
    from Netflix that commits the grievous error of making lead Josh
    Hartnett attempt an Irish brogue. It's a persistent distraction from an otherwise passable outing. Somewhat recommended.

    My paternal ancestor came from Ireland, but
    about 275 years ago.

    Some on the Southern Avalon arrived a bit more
    recently and have an accent closer to an
    Irish accent,

    Okay, that makes sense (though I bet my distraction was common).

    It’s like somebody decided to remake THE BEAST and padded it out with
    Stephen King drug fueled delusions.
