Agreed it was good hearing the bare-bones of the phone calls and race-comms unedited.

    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

    For people who aren't into motorsport it's a brilliant way to get an understanding of how it all works.

    Last few years I've gotten right into F1 and V8's simply because I find the whole process fascinating. The access you get to the drivers and teams is unparralled.

    Imagine getting to know the Jets players the way you got to know a dude as 'obscure' as Esteban Ocon. Have said forever that footy codes in this country need to match that type of access in order to progress.

    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.

    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..

    Not sure what you mean? What i was saying is that there can't be a comparison with the books as the show is further ahead. The last books story finished at around the end of season 5 so its all new content.

    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.

    We will keep plaguesey up to date with The Hound's cxxx counter on the show, easy.
    OK

    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 ****.

    Shame they stole the idea from Fast N Furious where Han died in Tokyo Drift but was so dope that they re-jigged the entire timeline to bring him back from the dead.
    And even Fast N Furious stole the idea from themselves when they brought back Letty from the dead.

    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.

    Eliminating Lady Stoneheart, Killing off Talisa/Jeyne Westerling were good moves.

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