@hooroo I'm just finding S4 to be stupid. Characters doing stupid things, stupid contrivances, stupid character arcs, stupid plotting. I thought S3 was a step down from the first two seasons but still a good watch. I'm still watching this one because I like the established world, but my hate watching of The Walking Dead suggests I'll continue to watch stuff anyway.
Hardy is great, but that's balanced out by Brody stinking up the place. @taniwharugby The chat was good because of Hardy, Brody managed to not ruin it completely by coming across as an actual human for once and not a caricature.
I liked the Brody Character. Never heard of him before a an actor but then I don't follow who does what really.
Damn, we must have completely different tastes in acting (and shows/films ... yes I'm still reeling from your preference of JL over Thor ;)). Brody is one of those actors that I struggle to watch, I just don't like him and his style, and this was probably his worst role of all for me.
As for the finale. Now I'm 100% confirmed they hired The Walking Dead writers.
::: So, they're at a boxing match, where their 'soldiers' are the only ones armed, yet we don't see any of those soldiers guarding anything, and when there's trouble the two bosses go after it alone, don't take any security, and none of the security see them moving. There's no guards in the changing rooms. So fucking stupid and on a par with the stupidity of sending an accountant with no guards to pick up their brother when they know the Mafia dudes are wandering along.
And as for the deus ex machina Al Capone, what a load of tripe.
In saying all that I'll likely watch a 5th series about Tommy the Politician. :::

Mars
Blending present-day (2016) documentary of Mars aspirations with a bit of scifi drama set in 2033 onward.
Things go a bit wrong on the mission, and the necessary last-minute workarounds save the day etc.
6 eps in and I'm interested enough to keep watching. Mainly because they're looking at the stuff NASA and SpaceX are doing today, and really delving into the technical and human challenges of going to another planet, and then relating that to the drama bit.

Commander starts to lie to everyone which kind of snowballs into a series of shitfights. What a dickhead.

ps is everyone in Sydney really that fucken rich despite not one (seemingly middle class) character ever going to work for one second in the whole season?
Yes.
I've been lying about having to work all this time.

Great show that. Wonder if Ewan McGregor got paid twice as much as the other actors?

Holy shit how good is Billions? Fucking stupid on a platform i don't have a subscription for, so watched on plane. Only 4 episodes in and love it.
Also, when did we go from swearing being taken out of in-flight movies to me being able to watch hot lesbians eat each other out and do rails off their tits? Progress bitches
-
@mariner4life Yeah, my mate watched the unedited version Verhoeven's Elle on Qantas last year.

Weirdly I just started watching Billions last night - only on 1st ep though.

That is some wack-ass bullshit.
I've had an item on my "To-Do" list for quite some time - write an open letter to Cinemax about "why the fuck would you not keep Banshee going... jump as many sharks as you need, it's all good."But after reading an article about it, I get the impression that perhaps my effort is better aimed at Quarry.

Anybody started on Altered Carbon yet? I’m a fan of the books but not sure about the series. All of a sudden Kovacs isn’t just an ex-Envoy, he’s Last of the Envoys. A bit too much exposition squeezed in there. Although TBF I don’t know how else you would get the whole Envoy powers thing to get demonstrated, but hey, I’m not a director or writer, so I get to criticise without having my own answers.
And the Kovacs actor is a weird looking bloke.
I’ll press on though, I’m interested in where it goes.

@jc I was looking at that just now and came here to ask if anyone had seen it.
@Tim problem is, you dislike a number of shows I am happy enough watching, so often have to remove you as an anomoly
Finished S2 of The Good Place...a bit out there in parts, but still easy watch, especially at 21-22mins an ep!
