A year away though

Anyone here who hasn't completely abandoned all hope for Doctor Who? I really like Capaldi and wish he got better writers. New season starts in a month.

Anyone watching Show Me A Hero?

I lost interest when Donna was the companion.

Fear the Walking Dead was great. This season looks like it's going be great.

 

[tagradh]

It did a better job of being 'horror' than TWD, I think.

Keep forgetting that Review is on again. Need to binge that later.

Looking forward to this and The Expanse. Battlestar Galactica ended 6 years ago. About fucking time someone attempted bid budget/high quality science fiction for TV.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes

yes

Really? I thought the FTWD pilot was crap. The parents weren't freaked out by their junkie son shooting a guy? They weren't freaked out by said guy re-animating? The junkie in the church behind the door had the right reaction. I'll give it another few episodes

 

[AllShallFall]

They're used to the junkie son doing crazy shit, so they weren't surprised that he shot somebody. They didn't know what the fuck was going on with the guy re-animating, so they reacted accordingly.

Tyrant has been great. The first season was a knock-out. Judging from the first episode of the second season, I was concerned, but it, too, has turned out to be great - perhaps better than the first. I can't wait for the finale next week.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... watched most of last season. Pretty craptastic from top to bottom.

 

[Einherjar86]

Anyone else heard about this?

 

[tagradh]

I imagine it'll be popular, but kinda crappy and massively historically inaccurate.

I have slightly higher hopes The Last Kingdom.




Couldn't remember the name of the above to start with and came across this whilst searching for it

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Anyone else watching Narcos? I saw the first episode and loved it, could be the best Netflix original yet.

EDIT: Four episodes in and it still owns, I know what I'm doing tomorrow.

 

[no country for old wainds]

would i like it

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Honestly can't say. It's just a really well-executed, morally ambiguous series about Escobar and the DEA agents working to bring him down. You should be able to tell from the first episode if it's your thing.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Ugh that description is too neutral. It's savage drug war with psychotic cartels on one side and pissed off vengeful DEA/cops on the other. Some real heroes too especially the Colombian politicians who stand up to Escobar at significant assassination risk. I don't know enough about the topic to say how accurate it is but it's a blast to watch, crazy shit happening nearly every episode, great production values. One of those few shows that feels more like a long movie than a TV series.

Just finished Mr. Robot. Fucking awesome season of television.
