<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!

<p>Just finished it. What a weird world US sport is. I had never heard of it being disrespectful to "Run up the score" I would think it would be disrespectful in rugby to just stop trying once you had the other team beat, besides points difference is always important in rugby.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They implied it was important in their league as well but still shouldn't be done. Which is a bit confusing. To be honest the guidance counsellor lady kind of stole the show. As the most genuine person there. </p> -

<p>The new Star Trek series will be a prequel set 10 years before the events of the origi...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz</p>

<p>Wasn't the last one also a prequel? It struggled through a few seasons and then got canned? Ahev they not learnt form that? Muppets.</p> -
<p>Anyone watching the 2nd series of Mr Robot? I'm not enjoying it as much as the first, too much mucking around with Elliot battling himself rather then hacking the fuck out of bad guys so far.</p>

<p>I haven't started it yet as my friend has been watching and he said he isn't enjoying it anywhere near as much.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Started the latest series of Orphan Black too...first ep confused the hell out of me with a flashback that I didn't realize was a flash back until the 2nd ep. Seems to have taken a bit of a leap to a new story arc.</p> -
Just started watching 'Stranger things' on a recommendation from my brother. Netflix series set in the 80's in a small town in the states. Kid goes missing and the show seems mostly about his group of friends. Has a bit of a horror/sci-fi element to it, got a real Stephen Spielberg ET feel to it. Very good so far.

<p>Last Ep of Outcast - I liked the series, but still not 100% I know what is going on!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler]I don't think it is quite as simple as these people all being possessed by demons. I think it may be something else entirely[/spoiler]</p> -

<p>That series is really good. Has two distinct 'halves' to it. The writers manage to get a hold on the overall plot line again. I enjoyed it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I haven't been watching much recently but am about 4 eps in to Hap and Leonard. Bit of a slow burner and very dry but well worth the effort with some excellent lines and characters. Michael Kenneth Williams (Omar from The Wire) is always a good watch.</p> -
<p>started 11.26.63</p>
<p> </p>
<p>James Franco stars as a High School teacher who is shown a time portal that allows him to travel back to 1960, but the main point of the guy that showed him was to get him to go back and prevent JFK's assassination, in 1963. Has it's own set of time travel rules.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Watched 3/6 eps so far, is a decent watch.</p> -

<br><p>That is my pick for Stephen Kings best book. I saw a couple of episodes and it looked good .</p>
