<p>Finished 11.22.63, was pretty good, ending wasnt as I thought it would with a 2nd season in planning.</p>
<p> </p>SPOILERS BELOW
:::
That fella that follows him telling him he shouldnt be here, I assume is in fact wrong about Sadie.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also assume fate or whatever says that that fellas daughter must die when she did, so no matter what he does, she dies. However in Jakes case, he chose to do nothing, and Sadie lived, therefore it is not written that she dies, he just needs to find a way.<br><br>
I expected if he searched for her and she was dead then yep, lost cause.<br><br>
The revised future being like that, was always on the cards.<br><br>
Be interesting if a 2nd season does come, what they will do with it:::

<p>Just had a rare TV moment as a family watching that Zoomba's kitchen or whatever it's called. Basically Master Chef but they make desserts. Had to bite my tongue a million times to avoid the wife's wrath. I'm wondering if the Zoomba dude and that British chick are even there with the contestants. For some bizarre reason they have that South American chick who speaks like Salma Hayek with a speech impediment going around chatting to the contestants. It's like the contestants aren't allowed within 5 metres of the hosts or something.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway some lovely desserts, but the usual absurd first world problems associated with being told that a dish couldn't be served at a royal banquet. Fark me what a load of wank.</p> -

<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>
</div>

<p>I see ads for this pop up on FB, might have to give that a go.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Only show that other half and I have going at the moment is "Suits" and to be honest that's getting a bit "same old....same old" we're up to season 4 and every single episode you know that Mike and Harvey will come out on top and beat the latest hot shot that's come to take them down. I'll keep watching but something new to fill the space now that other regular shows are finishd would be good.</p> -
<p>Three episodes in and really enjoying Stranger Things so far, can highly recommend it. They have the 80s setting down to a tee, very well done right down to the bright graphics, 80s synth theme song and the poster looks like it was done then too</p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It has an ET/Goonies feel to it in some ways but also much more mystery and dread ( the glimpse we've seen of the bad guys is pretty creepy ) Hoping to knock another 4-5 episodes off tonight. It's very obvious the makers liberated a whole lot of ideas from Spielberg/Lucas ( and Stephen King ) but I'm good with that, it works.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Winona Ryder has looked better though.</p>

@NTA said in TV Serieseseses:
Most of the way through the second series of Marco Polo on Netflix at the moment. Not enjoying it as much as the first. Still some quality boobies and kung fu and shit, but less battles.
Second Season finished well after all that. Murder, tits, battles, tits, exploding horses. And tits.

Stranger Things all done and dusted for this season. Interested to see if the next one ( which has been confirmed ) continues the same story or moves to another setting ala American Horror Story.
All in all pretty well done but the conclusion left me a bit flat and it seemed a bit convenient.

Finished 'The Night Of'
Really good series, ended kinda how I expected it, although done slightly differently.
Although
:::
The whole way I was a little confused about the lack of discussion around blood on Naz. Given how much was at the scene, he had none on him or his clothes, even the alleged murder weapon, which had a little blood on it, didn't have enough for that crime. Sure he coulda had a shower, but surely forensics could test for this in the shower and on him?
Doesn't show there will be a 2nd season, which is good if they don't, I guess a 2nd season could follow him and the fallout form his time in prison that turned him into a different person, or they could go the other way and show that he did in fact do it?
Given we sit there with the impression he didn't do it, you do see him change form this shy Pakistani kid into a toughened inmate that has slotted almost seamlessly into the life of an inmate and doing what he needed to do to survive.
Casting all round was pretty much spot on, Naz and Stone in particular though.:::

Watching season two of Narcos on Netflix. Very good show:
-
Agree it's an excellent show, but why not get a native spanish speaker for the main character. Moura speaks spanish like a 5 year old.

Moura is producer/director José Padilha's main actor - he's used him as lead in most of his movies.
I doubt that his spanish was a commercial or critical consideration for Netflix's main markets.
-
@SammyC Agreed. I believe he's a native Portuguese speaker. Embarrassingly his Spanish is better than mine despite us both learning it for about the same amount of time I'm guessing.

@antipodean
Holy shit season 2 is out! That show is fricken awesome! -

I know who he is, it just annoyed me.
Apparently he had to learn Spanish for the role, so obviously it's a small consideration.
