You can guarantee that there won't be a 3rd season on Netflix. Hopefully after the 2 year cooling off period Disney+ or Hulu will pick up were Netflix left it all.Quote:

Also just started watching Killing Eve on ABC iview. Pretty good so far
I've started "The Orville" from SBS on demand. Light hearted so far - easy watch.
And Future Man on Foxtel
Agree on Bodyguard except for the one thing all shows doQuote:

I mean it was interesting seeing the behind the scenes and good to see that type of thing from a non big 6 team.
I’m sure it was meant to be their return to EPL docuseries and it went downhill.
I found it interesting seeing how they struggled in the transfer market and how players pulled out and also conversations with high paid players not earning their money.
Also couldn’t make that shit up regarding Gibson from beginning to end.
Finding “Class of 92” an interesting watch.
Follows Salford City in their year (s1) and year after (s2) Giggs, Neville’s, Scholes and Nicky Butt bought them. (David Beckham recently jumped on board).
I’m obviously no Man U fan, but there’s minimal/no ManU wankfest. Some very interesting perspectives.
Ahhhh yeah.. I saw that come up on Netfrix and was going to give it a look, but was turned off by Man U..Quote:

Anyone watched Russian Doll ?
It's pretty good. Bit of a groundhog day / multiverse type of thing starring Natasha Lyonne from American Pie et al.
Season One is over, it had a great ending and I hope they don't try and stretch it out to another season.
Recent Viewing:
Brooklyn 99 - Only just started it on netflix. Really impressed, it's a great laugh
Last Kingdom - I love this show, great story and better action sequences.
Altered Carbon - Interesting concept, Sci Fi with a detective show vibe early on that morphs into a convoluted conspiracy/back story. Some great concepts in here but some pretty wooden acting. Will still watch Season 2 when it comes out
The Expanse - Probably the most realistic and believable sci fi ever released. I've only watched the first 2 season but loved every second.
New Amsterdam - Standard ER type clone, depressing show overall that makes you think the head doctors in the hospital are the only competent people who do all the work. Hate it, wife makes me watch it with her.
Blue Bloods - Best cop drama around, great stand alone episodes with a very believable cast. Tom Selleck still has the best Mo on earth.
911 - Entertaining without being anything "New" I think they have cast the characters really well and individual story lines work really well.
Interested to know if anyone has watched Umbrella Academy, Santa Clarita Diet, Ozark or Peaky Blinders as they look interesting but I have't taken the step of starting them up yet.
Does this take a few eps to get going? I watched the first couple but moved on as it didn't hook me early.Quote:

Yeah, takes a bit to kick in, but worth it.Quote:

Thought I would post this here, major shake up in the Entertainment industry.
I've just about finished this series (I assume, nearing the end of the racing season, unless there's a recap episode).Quote:

Will be checking out the Expanse, thanks for the heads up, as well as Peaky Blinders.
Recently finished the Mexican Narcos series, was exactly what I expected it would be and very satisfied with that. Really enjoyed both that and the original Narcos.
Show I was watching before that was Big Mouth - quite enjoyed it. Anyone with a sick sense of humour and able to enjoy the crude stuff will probably enjoy. Maybe one for fans of Archer, Rick and Morty etc
Big Mouth has a new episode. Valentines dayQuote:

But nope, we fine Ernie for merely making a joke about VAR, that'll motivate everyone to help sell your sport.
I'm up to Babylon's Ashes, I sure hope the TV series can follow it all the way through as it just keeps getting better.Quote:

Pretty pumped for the new season.. What date is it starting?Quote:

Oh yeah, started watching Trailer Park Boys - The Animated Series yesterday..
It actually wasn't too bad.. A little bit out-there and strange, but still the same sort of jokes.. Definitely worth a look if you are a fan of the series..

Well there are an absolute stack of comparisons between book and show still relevant. So many storylines are different, so many characters are and aren't still in existence. There's been a stack of "new content" in the show basically from S02 onwards.Quote:

i went back and rewatched Breaking Bad with the 'Norm Macdonald ending theory' in mind and its a way way better show this time around.
such a good show.
ooh ooh i know that one. hes the bloke with the burnt off face who got toweled up by the Shiny Stormtrooper lady and left for dead, only to come back to life when the producers decided that no one wanted Ed Sheeran cameos they wanted more of the bloke who called everyone a ****.Quote:

wait, what were we talking about again?
Ya but I think they found a good balance, some of the changes were for the good..... some for the bad.Quote:

Not including the Golden Company/Griff's and killing Mance Raydar sucked though.
