    I have to admit that Phillippe is the one negative I feel while watching this. I guess he is Wahlbergs mate or something and needed a job. He isn't a bad actor he just has a really bland face that adds little to his character. Kind of the Affleck effect.
    Apart from that I am still watching it as light entertainment because it is reasonably well made.

    So, Westworld....interesting finale.

    Oddly, the 2nd season isn't due until 2018.

    *********I reckon Hopkins character at the end, was a robot, the way he was talking, it was the plan for Dolores to shoot him, and he has been well ahead of everything so far.

    Interesting to see many of the scenes with Dolores were just memories with the young and old William.

    Now assume it is called West World, cos there is a South World and so on...? Which brings me to the next bit, given the scale and size, are they on another planet as opposed to somewhere on Earth (although the last scene with Teddy and Dolores was like a movie set)

    It hasn't grabbed me like some series, but has kept me interested and left me wanting more.

    @taniwharugby isn't it called west world because it's set in the Wild West?

    @jegga probably, as that makes sense, although in the final ep they went into another area/world, which made me think there may be other 'worlds'

    I've only seen the movie and I think they were differently themed worlds, periods in time or something.

    @jegga yep, definitely differently themed, but still, huge f-off area required to do so.

    Watched the first two episodes of Hip Hop Evolution on Netflix last night. I am a sucker for Music documentaries and this one has been a cracker to start with

    Hip-Hop Evolution (TV Series 2016– ) ⭐ 8.4 | Documentary, Music

    Hip-Hop Evolution (TV Series 2016– ) ⭐ 8.4 | Documentary, Music

    1h 30m | TV-MA

    Thanks for the heads up. Have enjoyed the first three eps so far.
    Some of the stuff regarding the origins was really interesting. Didn't realise just how long it had been happening before things got more 'noticed'. Good series and some great old footage.

    Yeah it's intriguing more than riveting. The final episode was great (and also provided the type of nudity there has always been massive potential for). Will be interesting to see where they go from here. Will it be a type of Terminator thing, man vs machines?

    Spoiler

    That Asian dude has to be a host right? No way a human would allow all that shit to go down. His actions are also very robotic.

    I finally had an opportunity to watch Stranger Things this week - great fun. I think the Duffer Brothers nailed the 1980s vibe.

    You would have enjoyed the movie more if you had watched the series first.

    Ok so I've watched the TV series (Firefly).

    Pretty good overall, when you remember it was made over a decade ago.

    Out of everything in the series what I wanted to know most was the Shepherd's background.

    Annoyingly the movie doesn't help there.

    Did you watch it in broadcast order or in actual order - did you watch the Train Job first or the longer pilot?

    Ok, that's correct order, when it was originally aired Train Job was ep 1 and the pilot was an add on at the end, and the early DVDs had it this way as well.

    If you ever watched Friends & thought "why can't this be more like Weeds crossed with Californication" - You're The Worst

    I'm late to the party (3 seasons in) but its fricking excellent. 2 horrible people meet & date. And everyone else is horrible too. and it spirals into chaos & shit. A bit like a younger version of Catastrophe

    Also that trailer is not really safe for work

    Not sure how the series will go without Ragnar, as much as there are other good characters, I think he is crucial to the show.

    Legend has it that his death was as shown on the series too.

    It's going to be weird not having a single focus - I hope Ivar isn't the new single focus.
    I have no idea why they killed him off (maybe the actor wanted to leave?) when there is so many different legends out there, and they've made changes to legends/history in every season.

    It's going to be interesting when Bjorn returns and squares off against Ubba and Ivar (Sigmund doesn't appear to care) over Lagertha.

    Are you talking about that show that's just like GOT without any good bits in it?
