@bones watched 3 eps so far, def continuing.

Really like Jay.

Only thing, Alvey as the father of Jay & Nate, looks like 10 years difference in age at most!

In real life he's 19 years older than the Jay actor and nearly 30 years older than the Nate actor.

@nepia ok, I'll let it slide then (just checked and Grillo is older than I thought he was)

Cowboy Bebop - if it continues on like the opening ep it is great. Love the mixture of genres, the 'Mod Squad' style titles, the sets, the spacecraft are awesome.
Will definitely give it a watch.

Just realised that some of this was filmed in NZ. Shootout scene in a “spaceport “ is at Ardmore as Harvard 78 and the NZ Beaver are parked up in the background.

thanks for that, was on the list so looking forward to it now

Shortish eps as well so I ripped through a few last night and the standard remains high. The first ep understandably uses more than it's share of budget in the sfx but it doesn't drop to nothing after that.

Time

British MiniSeries. In a prison. With Sean Bean.
3 Episodes.
I'm 2/3 way through...
So far - pretty much an advert for "don't crime. Or let your son crime."
I'm not expecting any happy endings (saccharine conclusions I mean, not prison-hand-shandies).
Tit-watch: zero. In fact - zero eye-candy... it's set in one of Her Majesty's Men's Prisons.... this is most definitely not "Women in CellBlock 9"

Bones

I think season 1 is only about 10 episodes, but so far I'm up to about ep15 in S2, so pretty happy. Jay is still there...

I think you still have Keith and Mac to come - they're top quality.

@kruse yeah it's pretty bleak, but well told and acted.

dogmeat

@kruse All of that. I can't remember when I gave up but it well before Sanderson got involved. When he picked it up I knew I would have to re-read the Jordan twaddle and couldn't face it.

Add to the factors you mentioned the fact that what were evil menacing monsters in the first couple of books were minor irritants once the kids came into their powers. Was much better when they were fighting for their lives and things actually happened

So no Orange is the new black girl on girl action then ? More Deliverance style sex scenes ?

Can't believe no one else has jumped on Cowboy Bebop.

Mando x John Wick x Buddy Cop x manga

Most fun TV I've seen this year.

I've watched episode 1, like you in your earlier post, thought it was a keeper.

A couple of episodes in and it's great fun, worth watching with a beer or two and just enjoy the pure entertainment.

Started Wheel of Time with the kids last night

For the first 70% of the first episode i thought it looked like every bad Fantasy show ever (The Seeker anyone? based on awesome books and it suuuuucked)

kicked right the fuck off after that

Note: I never read the books. Refused to start when it was never finished.
