Has 40 minutes of Kathryn Winnick being hot and badass......I mean Vikings started on NZ netflix yet?
The chick that plays Astrid; absolutely average with short hair to ridiculously smoking with long hair.
Watched up to ep 3 of the new season and its awesome.

I don't understand why it isn't better known. It's the perfect combo of everything.

Venture Bros. Absolutely farking brilliant. Will have to get entire series on DVD if possible.
Agree
I’ve recently discovered this as well, gets better every season too.

Finished The Punisher series...I liked it more than I thought, but still below Jessica Jones as my favorite of those Marvel Series.
Some of the scenes are pretty brutal, some of the beatings these guys walk away from are beyond belief, oh well.
Quite like Amber Rose Revah who plays the Homeland Security Agent.
Also been watching the Doco series on Vietnam, is pretty good!

@tim Enjoying it but FFS, this guy was doing a Psychology PhD at Harvard in getting people to make photo collages. Come on! That's like a parody of pseudo-science.
There's a reason there's an overwhelming replication crisis in psychology. So much of it is fanciful bullshit.

Is anyone watching the new Mr Robot? First season was awesome, second season was a dud... assume nobody is watching the third?

For me first season was brilliant right up to the last episode which killed it for me and I didn't even bother from there on.

@no-quarter Really enjoyed S1, had heard too many negative comments form people that like similar TV stuff to me, so didn't bother with S2.
Started Vikings, some batshit crazy mofos about this season!
So far think it is ticking along well without Ragnar.

Yeah, it's been an interesting start to the latest series. Everyone is going a bit crazy. Not sure if I'm that happy with Ivar being the main focus, his rambling on gets a bit tiresome after a while. Although, Uber seems to be looking and acting more like Ragnar these days.
Old what's his name, the want to be King of all Norway is getting a bit Neagan like (which IIRC you don't mind, but for me it's gun to the temple).
Always good to see Lagertha and be reminded just how hot she is.
Re: Mr Robot, I thought the 1st season was overrated so good to know I'm not missing out.
-
@nepia I had a look on the reliable Wiki and I think Ivor & Bjorn are the sons that go one to make names for themselves.
But yeah, Lagertha still hot, was an interesting scene in ep2, according to her Twitter, that was her idea.

I guess the showrunners can choose whoever they like to focus on because all of them have wider sagas than what we see on Vikings. Sigurd's story is already different from the sagas.
TBH, this is as historical as those alien shows the History Channel have on - they should just re-brand as THS.
-
@nepia there are some things which are supposedly historically accurate (how Ragnar bought it, who Rollo becomes as a couple I can recall)
But like all these things, gotta have plenty of licence to keep people entertained!

Oh yeah, but lots changed even from the agreed upon sagas, but very entertaining.

Will keep it a lot briefer but good shows this year.....
GOT, Ozark, Walking Dead, Outlander ( yes this is not a misprint ), American Horror story, Black Sails, the Mist ( apparently this one has been cancelled which sux )....
Crap shows....
Fear the Walking Dead, the expanse, Van Helsing, Vikings, Ghost, American Horror story ( latest series )
-
@mn5 you could have TWD on both lists too!
Outlander was pretty ave in S2, but S3 has been better.
I hate how some shows like to have sulky teenagers in them, what is the point? Fark, write their sulky emo arses out of the story, I don't want to watch that shit!

Excellent point. As I said on the other thread there was one episode that was nothing but shooting and I had no idea who was on who's side.
FTWD had a much better start than TWD but has faded badly.
I think I like Outlander purely because I thought I would hate it but the mrs made me persevere.

WTF?
Vikings is great, Walking Dead used to be and is now my most hatiest show, and I watched a season of Outlander which was ok, but I haven't been drawn back to it since.
Shows I've enjoyed this year:
Travelers (best switch your brain off tv), The Deuce (best seedy 70s tv), Master of None 1&2 (S2 best tv), The Handmaid's Tale (best new show), Halt and Catch Fire (best show that's finished), The Americans (best underrated tv), Mindhunter (best suprisingly good tv) , Godless (best show with an average finale), The Good Place (best quirky comedy) and the sitcoms I always like to watch B99, The Goldbergs, and Fresh of the Boat.Re-watch I really enjoyed this year: Band of Brothers (best mini series tv)
Re-watch that confirmed my original thoughts: The Pacific (best disappointing mini series tv) -
@nepia Outlander is great to watch with your Missus...
Travelers (best switch your brain off tv), The Deuce (best seedy 70s tv), Master of None 1&2 (S2 best tv), Halt and Catch Fire (best show that's finished), B99, The Goldbergs, and Fresh of the Boat- not seen any of these
The Handmaid's Tale (best new show), - yep, was compelling watching.
The Americans (best underrated tv), - consistently good
Mindhunter (best suprisingly good tv) - yes
Godless (best show with an average finale) - was it ever gonna end much different though?
The Good Place (best quirky comedy) - seen S1, not yet started S2
The Vietnam War (TV Mini Series 2017) ⭐ 9.1 | Documentary, History, War
