    @Nepia are we talking about Punisher?

    I am 6 episodes in to season 1. It's not bad, but not amazing either.

    And yea, that "twist" was predictable as fuck, you knew it right from the start.

    Yep, I just finished S1 - I wont bother with S2 ... but as I said the Marvel Netflix shows aren't really my bag for some reason.

    It's hard to believe it's Marvel considering how fucked up he gets every 2nd episode.

    That's actually one of the things that most makes it feel Marvel (i.e. comic booky) to me - as he is almost indestructible. He's on his death bed in one episode and then taking out baddies the next and the time frame in the show isn't even a few days.

    He sounds just like Hood from Banshee. He'd get beaten, stabbed and electrocuted but after a night of whisky and rooting he'd be right as rain the next day.

    I've started S2 of Punisher, just as a filler series, is ok, much of a muchness with S1.

    @Nepia I guess having seen DD, I didnt see alot in Punisher that required linking, but I guess if you havent you would notice more?

    Also finished Manhunt, with Martin Clunes, whihc is a mini-series based on the true story of the hunt for killer following the murder of a French student Amélie Delagrange at Twickenham green in 2004.

    Was a decent watch.

    Yeah, there were times when I was wondering if something had been explained in DD. Although at times I wasn't sure if they were slowly building to more revelations as the show went on, but I couldn't really tell. Was the family stuff included/explained? I assume Castle interacted with the pasty girl a lot in DD.

    Anyone know if Mindhunter will be back soon?

    Annoyingly, Counterpart has been cancelled. I quite enjoyed that show. I think the producers have been shopping it to streaming services so there could be a reprieve.

    @Nepia Castle did interact with her a bit, but not alot, just she works with DD so thats how that connects.

    I cant recall, but I thought the family stuff was in S1 of Punisher...maybe both series merged in my mind, although the story is known anyway?

    Am gonna watch a new series called The Widow, cos Kate Beckinsale.

    The story is tweaked a bit from the comics. Maybe the info they gave us in The Punisher was all there is? I don't know not seeing DD2.

    I don't have the Fern's obsession with Beckinsale so will need to read up on what it's about first.

    @Nepia we all have different tastes.

    Yeah been so long since i watched the movie version of The punisher, basic premise isnt too different; they killed his family, he gon' kick some arse.

    Revenge is the basis of many a movie/series

    Secret city 2 , episode 1 . Anna Torv is out jail and went gay for the stay . No sign of any scissoring yet but the last series was great . This one looks good too.

    Started watching a Netflix documentary series last night called "Losers" about pro sportspeople who lost, and what it did to them.

    Episode one was Michael Bentt, who hated boxing, but became a world heavyweight champion before nearly dying at the hands of Herbie Hide.

    Episodes are nice and short and look reasonably interesting.
