Re: Decent Recent TV
Westworld S02E02 was brilliant
Re: Decent Recent TV
Yup, really enjoyed that. Theirs less teasing this season now that everthings established, and they're straight into the rollocking adventure time!
Ash Vs Evil Dead is over and I'm infinitely glad they made it, and a bit sad that it's gone, but it went out with a pretty good bang.
Totally worth it.
Re: Decent Recent TV
Yes it was indeed a very clunky, crowbar'ed-in storyline, wasn't it. But hey - Suits is just snack TV these days, and has been ever since the will-Mike-get-caught arc was solved. I was actually pleased to see they've renewed it for Season 8 because the thought of them doing a rushed "OK we've run out of time, let's have everyone end up with everyone and it's all good now" would have been a bit hard to swallow.
But I still enjoy it - they're all nice and pretty, they get a bit shouty then make up each episode, and it doesn't make my head hurt too much.
Re: Decent Recent TV
I wish they would spread the good tv out through the year a bit more .
Currently watching Westworld, Legion and Handsmaid's Tale, all have been brilliant. Started catching up with Jessica Jones on Netflix as well.
Walking Dead finale was ok. The sabotaged bullets thing was half assed and predictable but i'm glad they finished the Rick and Negan fight in the same way as the comics. Biggest shame is that the upcoming storyline is where Carl really started to grow as a character but they've closed that door. Still undecided about whether we're going to keep watching.

An absolute unit
Re: Decent Recent TV
Westworld S2 Ep2 was indeed fantastic.
Delores has gone full megalomaniac! Although I thought it was Maeve who had all the Jedi mind trick superpowers?
Great that they are continuing the flashbacks, even though we now know they are flashbacks.
When are they going to bring back the now-armless Armistice psycho blonde outlaw? She was the best side character in the S1 finale, especially in the only after-credits sequence of the entire series so far.

Dolores doesn't have Jedi mind tricks, but if someone resurrected you from the dead like it was no big thing, you'd probably start taking her more seriously too...

I've just started the final episode of Altered Carbon. I loved the book and the series hasn't disappointed. There was also lots of gratuitous nudity which was most pleasant.

Watched the first two; enjoyed that.
Re: Decent Recent TV
We've started watching Lost in Space, it's silly but I don't mind that, TBH I'll watch almost any space based scifi.
I hadn't spotted that the next series of the Expanse was out, one of my favorite shows of recent years so looking forward to tucking into that one.

Re: Decent Recent TV
Last series of Detectorists is being re-shown on BBC2, starting last night. Check it out if you haven't already seen it - it's simply one of the best written British shows ever. Last night's first episode perhaps one of my favourites.
Re: Decent Recent TV
Anyone still watching The Americans? Halfway through its final ever season at the moment and one of the most brilliant and under-rated (or under-seen perhaps) series of recent times.
Cheers,
Mike.

Re: Decent Recent TV
Err, why is The Expanse S3 not on my Netflix?
Re: Decent Recent TV
Apparently the streaming rights were bought by Amazon, but I have Prime and I haven't seen it in the schedule. Various sites list UK air dates as tbc.
So I guess it's either be patient, or free the signal
Episode 4 was great. Disassemble.
Re: Decent Recent TV
Amazon? WTF? It was a Netflix original.
Re: Decent Recent TV
Aye, they seem to be ensuring a couple of good set pieces an episode - all killer, no filler. Hope it moves on to the Abbadons Gate stuff soon though.
Re: Decent Recent TV
Last episode was terrible two of the key characters (one of which was central to the whole show) leave, but lets spend 45 mins promoting the Jessica spin off and leave 5 mins to cram in a wedding.JLv3.0 wrote: ↑Tue May 01, 2018 8:03 amYes it was indeed a very clunky, crowbar'ed-in storyline, wasn't it.

At least Scottie (Abigail Spencer) made an appearance, she's awesome in every sense. Same for Katrina (Amanda Schull) who is being made a full-time cast member, which was long overdue.

Food Network - the only channel worth watching in Aus, fact.
The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on

Re: Decent Recent TV
I was pretty disappointed, picked up fantastically while there was a reappearance from Season1 but that was it's only saving grace IMO.
Enjoying season 5 Agents of Shield.
Also have found Dead Set On Life with Matty Matheson, enjoying that too. He had a heart attack at 29, that's epic abuse
