<p>Finished Stranger Things, final episode wasnt as good as the rest, but thought it was a good series where they used atmosphere to create tension and keep you on the edge of your seat, was only glimpses of the 'monster' which is good as they didnt overuse special effects.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Guess is left wide-open for a 2nd season, I kinda expected the last scene with Mike we were gonna hear the walkie spark up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thought it was well cast too. </p> -

<p>Stranger Things via Netflix. Loving it. </p>
<p>Think Stephen King re-doing ET as a horror with a touch of Firestarter in there too.</p>
<p>Its set in the early 80s so lots of nostalgia. Even the opening credits and the score invoke the spirit of 80s tv shows.</p>

<p>Just finished episode 3 (I only just started today). Sci-fi isn't my thing, but it's drawn me in all right. </p> -
<p>I've been watching a Danish/Swedish crime/political terrorist/serial killer drama 'The Bridge' (Broen Bron). It's all in Swedish and Danish with English subtitles but very riveting. Everytime I start a new episode I actually surprise myself that they aren't speaking english, you just sort of tune it out and get engrossed in the show so much your brain just kind of gives them english voices. Just about finished season 2, highly recommend the lead female character Saga Noren is a hell of a character.</p>

<p>There is a US version that you probably wont like as you saw the Danish version first - but it's also quite good. It's set on the Texas-Mexico border.</p> -
<p>To anyone who has watched Kingdom...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is it worth watching? More importantly, any worthwhile nudity?</p>
<p>I've seen the shorts on Foxtel all the time and I can see there are a few hotties, including one rather yummy asian chick.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm looking for another series to binge on during a short break with the wife. I was going to download them to a USB stick and take them with us.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Series I'm currently enjoying are:</p>
<p>Secret City - a good espionage/political intruige Aussie drama</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also enjoy two light but very entertaining SyFy series: Dark Matter and Killjoys</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My wife and I really enjoyed season 1 of Wayward Pines but Season 2 has really lost us.</p>
<p>After watching Season 1, we both read the books and then Season 2 is completely different from the books and quite frankly not as enjoyable to watch.</p> -

<p>You forgot to add the most important aspect, it has Diane Kruger in it.</p> -
Ronin mentioned Killjoys which I have been surprised hasn't been mentioned earlier. Lead character is very easy on the eye. Just a bounty hunter series in a space setting but a watchable time filler. <br>
Pity it was done by SyFy and not Cinemax though. SciFi action shows are long overdue for tits and ass. -
<p>IT has been mentioned before (Originally by Rusty IIRC) and I even posted a pic of the leading lady to ensure people knew what they were missing...I just started S2.</p>

<p>Walking Dead was pretty good! Knew that kid was gonna cop it, but his mum too....bazooka scene was funny</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Started Killjoys, bit of brain out of gear tv watching about 3 inter-galactic bounty hunters, lead female is tidy too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Vikings starts up again this week.</p>

<p>Just started on The Night Of, has John Turturro who I think is great and starts a bit slow, but really pulls you in, worth a watch.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Outcast - don't bother with the trailer, not helpful at all. Have watched 1 episode so far and seems worth continuing with, was again quite gripping.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Vice Principals - Danny McBride is back! Haven't finished the first episode yet but looks good, while not quite Eastbound and Down...yet. Edit: This also has Walton Goggins in it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Marcella - this was great, from the guy who did The Bridge. On that note - The Bridge was adapted as The Tunnel in the UK - definitely worth a watch on that one too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Another good one recently was American Odyssey but that ended a bit shit as it was cancelled after 1 season...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Spotless - another UK one, really good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Between - don't bother. Got about 3 episodes in and it was just getting shitter. Maybe one for the teens.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sense 8.....didn't really grab us.</p> -
<p>I'm about 7 or 8 into Outcast, and agree, the trailer doesnt really point to what it is about, which at this point, I am still not 100% sure, but isnt really what that leads you to believe....</p>

<p>She's a bit ethnic for Baron but I think she looks nice.</p> -
<p>Jeez you dont get infatuated over one fossicky Papua New Guinean chick....</p>

<p>Last Chance U</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Its a netflix special about a community college in Mississippi where the coach recruits a lot of "problem players" to win championships and get the players D1 scholarships. Great watch for an insight into the real business of football in America. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The most interesting thing to me is no matter how they try to dress it as about team or community everyone is in it for them self and none of that other stuff does a very good job of hiding that. </p> -

Good binge watch. I enjoyed it.<br><br>
I pretty much only get to see Netflix, so I'm a bit limited for choice, but just finished River, which was pretty good. Billions seems OK so far too. Started Rebellion, which has been ok and the wife seems to enjoy it too.<br><br>
I'm a bit fucked waiting for new season of Peaky Blinders and Last Kingdom to come in. I'm also waiting for new Americans. -
The Night Of....intriguing!
