Thank fudge I didn't pay for it.

Tho Wayne on the other hand is very entertaining. I intend to get thru all of it before the 30 days is up.

yeha Wayne was fun, this new irish actor is good..the ending is not that great tho...

The new season of Archer has just begun, sadly it's the final season, but this one is Archer 1999, Archer in Space and is damn funny stuff.

Good omens obviously spent the budget on Tennant and Sheen's salaries, not the CGI budget but that was a good call.

Worth watching.

Discovered Curiosity stream $3 a month or $20 a year, documentaries etc. Haven't had a good look yet but I can get it on my Sony telly, plus there's Roku and apps.

Thought it became a bit of a parody of itself by season 4, sadly. Soapier than a Babs Windsor bath-time tit wank.

Wait... I didn't think it had aired on English-speaking TV yet? So, assuming, er, your friend is watching a less-than-legit copy... has it got homemade subtitles, or are you chaps just fluent in Italian?

I'm about 4 episodes into S3 myself

Season 4 of Gomorrah is available with English Language subtitles if you have the Internet. I've finished it now - loved it.

saw first episode of The Swamp Thing, actually good, not funny, good graphics too, might be better than doom Patrol..also watching Good Omens (3 episdoes), being great this far, that joke by tennant on the unicorn making a run for it was hilarious if ppl understood it ..hehe, also watchng The Hot Zone, 3 episodes in, really good, love ser davos

I watched "When They See Us" the other day. A 4-part mini-series on the rape case of the Central Park 5.

It's grim, but superbly made.

Part two seasons have been utter dogshite, they badly need to wrap it up.
Just a shame they're doing another "themed" coma season.

Finally going to give I, Claudius a watch.

Seen some comments about that on twitter, might give it a watch at some point

Last episode of Chernobyl is tonight, yes?

Don't they paint the boys out to be saints though? They were gang members and particularly nasty ones too.

The documentary 'The central park 5' is decent, although also falls foul of the same criticism in parts..

I watched all ten episodes of What We Do In the Shadows, the vampire mockumentary TV show based on the vampire mockumentary film. It's very funny, in a really pleasant enjoy the journey and be shocked by a few roaring laughing out loud moments.

I doubt it'll ever get huge appeal in the US, where it's made, but it has enough of Spinal Tap/Best In Show/A Might Wind stuff going on that there'll be a dedicated hardcore following that it appeals to purely because of how different it is.

Is Taika Waititi (I forget how to spell it) involved?

Executive producer along with Clement. I think they write a few episodes and appear in one.

Nolanator wrote:Is Taika Waititi (I forget how to spell it) involved?

yeah he even guest stars in an episode with like 8 other famous actors (including Batista and wesley snipes) and clement and the guy that plays their familiar in the movie..

That was a brilliant scene, when all the vampires appear. "It's him! IT'S HER!!" And then they all do the dramatic vampire hiss and I wish that was a real way of communicating displeasure in real life.

Does it have Murray from FotC as the ringleader of the werewolves?

Just f**king watch it. (No.)

Yeah, it's on the list.

I will watch anything with Matt Berry in it - (Toast of London a particular favorite)

Watched the first episode and have a few giggles. Have been told by a number of folk that it only gets better as it goes on.

Yeah, couldn’t get past the first couple of episodes of Danger Island. Guess they’ve just completely run out of ideas with the original characters.

Stranger Things 3 is out on 4th July though

One of the greatest running gags on TV - so good I got a shirt with it on.

The Noir series was dreadful, a mediocre stories with absolutely no funny jokes in it.
Danger Island I have up half way too.

I just remember thinking multiple times while watching "if you want to make a new TV series, just make a new one!".

Archer has gone well past its sell by date.

comets wrote:the guy that plays their familiar in the movie

Huh?

Succession is excellent will move into Chernobyl thereafter

HBO ftw

Finally saw the Deadwood movie. Very strange viewing experience, there’s only so many times you can say “geez he/she looks farking old” before it starts to distract from the narrative. Condensing what is clearly a season’s worth of material into a feature length film is also frustrating, I get that Milch was keen to wrap everything up but it felt like whiplash at times.

Still, McShane is awesome. Get to watching it cocksuckers

Already renewed. The ratings have been very good for a half hour adult cable comedy.

The movie itself has a pretty large cult following in the U.S.

apparently season 5 of BLACK MIRROR tanked hard lol, only 3 episodes and its shit.hehe

Is the series just a continuation of the film (which I was a bit 50:50 on - some genuinely lol moments, but a bit too silly/contrived in a lot of places), or does it just build on the concept?

television remake but with different characters, basically the "American chapter" of the vampires (Taika's was the Wellington Chapter)..i.e they can do one British version too if they chose with British actors in UK..the irony is that the 3 leads are british...

Just watched the episode where they meet the werewolves.

Pretty funny stuff.

I watched that last night, the conclusion of the fight had me pissing myself with laughter. The one after with the hat is very funny as well.

Swamp thing which had really good reviews has already been cancelled.

it was actually going to get better with some of the casting...apparently budget issues...u'd think they made a killing with TITANS and doom patrol adn could have funded this?

Alone is back on the History channel.
Arctic this time. Great Slave Lake in Alberta.
They started in mid September and the snow hit about 4 days later.

Just finished True Detective S3.

Great ending, very moving. A bit slow in the middle of the series, but ‎Mahershala Ali‎'s acting was phenomenal throughout.

It's glacial alright. I was steadily getting thru it then my cable box f**ked itself when I was halfway thru and I lost all the remaining episodes.

I've since got them all back but I simply haven't found the motivation to restart it yet. Even when I've got nothing else to watch.

I will get to it the rest eventually I expect. Hopefully. As long as it's superior to that shitpile that was S2 (didn't finish that. Gave up 3rd episode) there's a reason.

watched episode 1 of German series "bad banks" from Channel 4 lat night - enjoyable

The Last Kingdom in it's fourth season. Based on Cornwell's Pagan Lord.
