    Just started it, don't know what the fuss is about atm, it's literally like a John Green "Fault in our stars"-esque targeted to teens show. Which is quite dangerous given the focal point of the show.
    I guess it brings some accountability of people for their actions, may make some people re-consider their actions.
    But it scarily romanticises depression/self-harm and suicide. A show with such heavy themes directed at teenagers is a potential disaster.
    It's something though, a book, a piece of art, a angsty teen drama, it's up to people what they take from it, without becoming a nanny state.
    I'll reserve complete judgement until i finish it.

    Another fantastic series. They never quite managed to top the first season, but the way they managed to keep that storyline going in the background of new and old cases in the last two series was great. Really made you connect with the characters and feel their highs and lows.

    One of my favourite shows ever and sad that it's come to an end, but it was very well done.
    Have you seen Continuum ? Very good series if you like Police / Detective shows with a bit of time travel thrown into the mix.

    Season 2 was great but not as good as season 1 imo. Billy Bob was brilliant. Watched the first episode of season 3 last night. Not a bad first episode though it's a bit weird Ewan macgregor playing two characters

    It's such an awesomely grim and dark universe. Love the games and the kind of blur between good and bad that they get. Should be excellent.


    Need Netflix to get The Expanse Season 2 added already.
