@mariner4life Yep. There are some boobies.
-
i think i saw an ad for it, might even be on Foxtel, I'll have a look tonight. Boobies are good, but is the actual show good? and why?
-
I've got that on my 'watch list'

you Marvel people, is Luke Cage worth it? I'm 2 episodes in, and it's soooo slooow. It's not art Marvel, i want to watch him punch mooks in the face really really hard, and so far he's chucked a dude through a window, and one through a wall. In 2 episodes! get with the punchy punchy
Worth sticking with M4L but not out and out top notch. The violence and sex does step up a fair bit, the (initial) main villain gets better and better and some of the soundtrack is great.

Good Behaviour - finished this series last night, decent watch, not a must see but decent time filler.
Like most series, having a tidy female lead helps, although no boobies guys.
Is left open for a 2nd series, with a couple of possible storylines.
-
Finished S2 of The Man in the High Castle.
First half was a bit slow and also as they added more scenes from the Japanese Trade Minister 'dreaming' you learn a bit more.
2nd half picked up and was pretty good again.

Finished Narcos - good series, although given it follows Pablo, as he nears his inevitable end (sorry bout the spoiler) you almost start to feel sorry for him, how the mighty had fallen, then he goes and does something and you think, nope arrogant fluffybunny!
I see why they named it Narcos now, rather than anything to do with Pablo, as it leaves them open for another series.
I just got around to finishing Narcos S2 and am now looking forward to the next series of it. It's also been a good starting point to do some reading about what actually happened.
Also, I can't believe Steve was in Colombia all that time and still couldn't speak Spanish.

RI can't believe how they messed up the characterisation of Limon in the scene where he shots the girl. In that scene they portrayed him as a crazed whack-a-do, yet in every other scene at the same time period he's his usual self. That was just weird and didn't really advance any part of the story.

For those of you with kids, check out Trollhunters. Great cartoon series from Netflix. The kids will love it and it's not bad from an adults POV.

Wasn't overly impressed with the last series of Sherlock. The show just seemed to become a parody of itself and way too gimmicky.
I do think it created one of the best TV villians ever in its version of Moriaty though and a spinoff show for Mrs Hudson has potential.

Yeah, that ending almost seemed like I was watching a Pegg/Frost creation, overall rather enjoyable though.

Yeah, there is certainly worse crap on TV but this was a show I used to really look forward to each episode and became one I'd catch up on.

Watched Episodes 1 & 2 on Sunday... and it felt like there was a jarring difference between the two. But then I thought... that's probably a good thing, it's not as formulaic as most TV stuff.
Then Episode 3 last night... I seem to recall being quite drawn in for the first 30 minutes maybe?... a few WTF moments...
but then it devolved into a checklist of all the stuff that needs to happen in a Sherlock episode: "Moriarty being a camp nutter, check. Moriarty with creepy over-acting, check. Sherlock figuring something out inside his head but with hand-movements and figures visible to the viewer, check. Watson being just a generally nice/moral guy, check. Sherlock having an emotional revelation, check."
