Just downloaded Chernobyl again - it really is bloody terrifying and brilliant in equal measure

Just finished Episode 4 - JL, for the love of God, don’t watch that one...

Brilliant TV, The "human robots" sequence is... tense. The only nitpick is I kinda wish they hadn't made some of the story>reality decisions (the heli crash, the miscarriage and the bridge of death) as I don't think many of them were really that important storywise and they just distract discussions.

[dinny_g]

Yeah - unnecessary poetic licence.

But not enough to distract - thus was my second viewing and will be watching again.

I watched it again after listening to the podcasts. It is incredible TV and I will watch many times more. Jared Harris and Stellan Skarsgard are fabulous.

Can you linky the podcast as I’m a lazy bastard...

Has he ever taken a bad role? I can't think of one.

First saw him in Ronin. Not seen a bad performance from him.

Mama Mia! Here we go again.

Not seen it and never will but can't imagine that being any good. Hopefully JL will come along in a minute and tell me how wrong I am

Yes, you're wrong.

Was reminded of this.

The podcasts are brilliant - as well as giving great background to the events themselves (as well as explaining that some of those things you thought were invented, were actually facts, often downplayed), they give a lot of info about why they made the decisions they did about plots, sub-plots, characters etc.

We've fallen down the black hole that is a binge rewatching of The Shield. Utterly tremendous and what a finale.

[Beany]

Oh I watched the first series of One Punch Man the other night and rather enjoyed it.

It's about a super hero who can destroy anyone with one punch. And he's so bored of it that he just does it as a hobby.

It's quite strange but really rather endearing (as well as being technically well done)

Worth a watch if you can find it on the usual streaming outlets.

Seven disappointing opponents out of ten.

[ZedLeg]

One Punch man is amazing, S2 is out now as well. ONE's other series is good as well, it's called Mob Psycho 100.

If you watch a lot of Anime it's worth getting the Crunchyroll streaming ap, it's not super expensive and saves faffing around trying to find subs and stuff.

[Beany]

I don't think I watch enough to justify it TBH. I'm generally OK, waiting for dubs or sub'd versions of things to come out.

The Boys

I enjoyed this. Violent, pretty well paced, Karl Urban is tons of fun (as are all the cast) and it's generally a good, dark laugh in the same vein as Preacher (same showrunners effectively).

Worth a poke.

7 interestingly placed pieces of C4 out of 10.

Yep agreed. 2 episodes in and really enjoying it. Complete antidote to the Marvel/DC domination. It’s proper fucking dark too.

I’ve a little worry that Hughie has undiscovered superpowers and his character will move from angry civilian to Super Nemesis - this would be a shame as Humans taking down Supers is far more interesting.

I genuinely spat my beer when Deep got his cock out for Starlight... Funniest thing I’ve seen on Telly in ages

Just finished it, I imagine should any god fearing American watch it they would be boycotting Prime forevermore! Bloody fantastic.

The Deep gillsex thing..... that was... weird.
