Watching Series 2 of War of the Worlds (the Anglo-French one with Gabriel Byrne)
Enjoyable so far and takes the story forward in a pretty decent way. Quite bleak in places.

@victor-meldrew meant to be out here as well. Will look it up as I enjoyed season 1

Right - so after not particularly enjoying Bosch Season 1 - but not being able to remember WHY...
I gave Bosch Season 2 a go over the weekend (while recovering from food poisoning, so in a pretty good mood to start with)...
- I think I remember why I didn't enjoy it originally - in some ways (certainly not all) - it's maybe too realistic?
- The dialogue in particular - is just shit. But realistic shit... the characters aren't throwing out witty one-liners or zinger comebacks. It's just the same shit back-and-forth you actually hear in the office every day.
- the actual real ringtones/sound-effects used by phones/apps in the show being realisic - making me think that I was actually receiving a call - was fucking annoying
- And action scenes being fairly "realistic" - ie: no over-the-top 'splosions and gun-fights... mostly just understated "yeah, it would probably be fairly lame and short-lived in real life"
- But - once I got to grips with that, and set my expectations... yeah, I kinda enjoyed it. I'm happy to continue with the other seasons now, knowing to dial my expectations in to low-cheese, low-budget, psuedo-film-noir.

I caught up with the latest ep of Mr Inbetween, Ray is such a cool and complex character.
yeah, he's awesome - great character, great actor

I got a plan, although my plan is only for standard zombies, not fast aggro ones.
Over the years my plan has had me transform from Rambo to Zachariah Smith.
Getting old sucks.

Midway through season two of Walking Dead. I can see why this got the audience numbers it did. Only real issue I have so far is the cartoon like accuracy of people firing pistols. Walker 20m away, bam, headshot. Now I'm running and bam, headshot, bam, headshot. Fuck right off.

@antipodean question, how aware are you of the future of the show? happy to talk or are you avoiding anything that might ruin it?

I know nothing of the show and if I knew I wouldn't watch it.

@antipodean i will leave my questions for another time

I have recently started working in the public service so I can observe the behaviour of zombies at close range and be better prepared
After 19+ years in the public service, I resemble that remark.
@taniwharugby, and I can confirm we definitely aren't the fast agro ones.

Just had a look at this year’s Emmy nominations.
I expect to see a handful each for Ted Lasso, Mare of Easttown, Kominsky Method and Handmaids Tale.
A couple thrown at Mando to show they are hip.I haven't got round to watching the latest season of Handmaid's Tale, has it got back to the standard of the first season?
