After taking a couple of years off after watching the first 2 seasons of Justifed, I've binged, watched the rest, and just finished the final (6th season).
Consistently excellent across all series - great writing in terms of both plots and character dialogue. Awesome acting. The two leads Timothy Olpyhant and particularly Walter Goggins are great, but the rest of supporting actors are the best in any series I can recall. The setting of a small town in rural Kentucky, where the mines have closed, and crime and drug abuse are rampant is believable and engrossing, as are the misfit hillbillies/Dixie mafia who inhabit it. Great that they are not afraid to consistently kill off main characters, and introduce new ones.
The series is fun enough that I'll probably rewatch it in a couple of years

I started Watchmen last night. The first episode did not grab me. I will give it another couple

@Stockcar86 you might want to check out the creator of Justified books
This was great , bound to be a movie someday

@canefan interested to know what the story will be, obviously they missed alot of the books in the movies (Tom Bombadil, Sharky) but is it just a re-telling in a series, or will it just be set in Middle Earth as Saurons power grows and the lives of Aragon, Bilbo etc?
Certainly dont see it having the R16 or whatever rating GOT had.

@Toddy so more in line with the Simarillion time?
Not that I have read it, but it was set prior to the Hobbit I think?

@Kruse same here in the UK, we even have that same ad. They're not shy of throwing up ads even on the proper sky channels.
What really fucken bugs me is how before programs they've started doing ads, then channel logo/intro bit and then it usually goes into the program..but no now they throw in another ad or two.

Counterpart
is that good? the premise looks very cool
Yes, but it has been cancelled after 2 seasons, still worth watching those two though.

I'll check it out if Watchmen doesn't get me. Pretty sure it's still on SBS On Demand
-
@taniwharugby Yeah, I guess the Tv series is pitched to kick off around the ¾ers of the way through the Silmarillion. Maybe around the time when Elronds brother founded Numenor.

My main criticism was that they ended up rushing Season 2 to move the plot along. J.K. Simmons was very good in his role(s).

Watchmen is really fucking weird

Anyone watching Titans on Netflix? From the DC Universe. Effects are pretty average, but it does have Minka Kelly and that's enough:
