Interesting. I thought that it was extremely poorly made. I have issues even with some Black Mirror episodes because of that, but this is a plain, boring and predictable propaganda that leaves no space for the viewer's mind to explore. A good show is supposed to make you ask questions, not to give you answers in such a blatant manner. Rant over
For some reason I didn't expect much from the Catch-22... luckily I gave it a shot anyway. I'm on the fifth episode out of six currently. There is a wonderful balance between the absurd humour and everyday's horrors of was time, reminded me of Evelyn Waugh. The lead role is perfectly cast, the likes of George Clooney, Hugh Laurie and Kyle Chandler star in supporting roles.
Well the thing is I felt I could relate to some of it, like how they say the news used to be boring but now we are scared to watch the news because there is so much shite going on. Even here, we have started putting dates on mass shooting threads because it seems like there's one almost every day.Interesting. I thought that it was extremely poorly made.

Also I feel the things they show on the show, can happen and will probably happen pretty soon. Like, I kind of knew deep in my mind that all the things they show could happen but to see them happen, it really scared me.
Also some scenes like the nuke launch at the end of episode 1 and the banking system collapse scene in episode 2/3 were very well shot. It's far from perfect but for me it felt like seeing my worst nightmares come to life
is fleabag any good? i dont know what its about but it sounds a bit too irish
there's only one Irish person and they're not in it til the second season so you're safe.
And yes, it's great.
I love the book and am therefore very unsure whether I should watch it or not, plus it's not part of my subscriptions (Netflix, Prime).
Haven't read the book but I'm definitely going to now. Based on reviews it understandably doesn't hit the heights of the book, but is still well-worth the watch.
Does it have Clevinger's trial?
Yeah.
Thanks.
Anyone caught the first episode of Euphoria on HBO? It's a sort of teen drama done HBO style i.e. insane amounts of tits, dicks, and overall controversial scenes. Basically it's a show for adults that I guess is designed to show us how shitty life can be for teenagers in modern America, or something. First episode was decent and it has potential.
There's also a truly wonderful moment akin to Alexandra Daddario in True Detective, 's all I'm sayin'.

Poor reviews kept me from watching this show, but now, in the light of these new revelations, think I'll give it a go.

it's the sort of show that you watch and think it's a bit shit and all over the place but worth sticking with, plus it's HBO.Poor reviews kept me from watching this show, but now, in the light of these new revelations, think I'll give it a go.

Perpetual Grace is outstanding so far. Ben Kingsley has quite a good role
That's a relief.
I had no idea they'd made a TV show of this! One of my favourite books, and excited to see what they've done with the show.
Anyone still watching Swamp Thing even though it is cancelled? I am saving up the whole season and would like to know if the quality of the first ep carries on?
First and second were really good, third was OK, will be interesting to see where the story goes from here
Of all the rumours circulating on why it got canceled so early, quality of the show is not among the half-dozen cited.
Has anyone seen this yet? Reviews are mixed, some rave about how great the visuals are, others complain that it's too slow. Still going to check it out, it has a True Detective feel to it.
Dark season 2 is out.
Probably Refn self indulgence. Will only watch when Nilssy's reviewed it
Watched Euphoria trailer, it looks so great, so tempting but I think I'll be waiting for the season to finish so I can binge it
I'm watching Criminal Minds & liking it.
Hey, Criminal Minds is awesome! At least before they booted Hotch.
Thanks a bunch for the spoiler warning, Saffy!

I'm more upset when they killed that thing in that episode.
I started watching Supernatural. I'm at the end of the first series and it's pretty good.
The Outpost on SyFy(I hate that spelling) is a decent if very low budget fantasy show, series 2 starting in a couple of weeks. Although it does contain one of the worst actors I've ever seen and the swords are often clearly rubber, it's strangely watchable.

If you don't like Fleabag then you are from Stupidtown.
*bins dvd*
You know I’ve recently watched these 2 or started. I found Supernatural hard to get in to but by about the 4th season it was much better. Taken a break from it at the moment but think I’m in the 6th season, it’s alright and Outcast is kinda like B-movie good. Worst actor could be a few which one you thinking of? The beer dude or the shiny knight guy? 2nd series starts soon.
Has anyone watched or heard of Euphoria? It’s HBO’s new show.
Just watched the pilot and damn it was good. It’s Zendaya (the greatest showman, Spider-Man) but she is basically a 17yr old just out of rehab and going back home and slipping straight back in to the life. Maude Apatow is in it as well who is Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann’s daughter.
It’s maybe a darker version of Skins, or if anyone has seen the movie Kids from 1995 it seems quite similar in tone to that. I read people are outraged by some of the content in it already and been complaining but I’ve just started the 2nd episode and holy hell
Edit: I want to remove the bit about being like Skins, watched the 2nd episode and Skins is Disney World compared to this.

I saw a few of the later series episodes of Supernatural a few years ago and I'm finding these earlier ones much better. I like the monster of the week format.
Beer guy. Jesus Christ what is that man doing with all the mincing about and cringing? It's so distracting and creepy.
What We Do In The Shadows. A documentary about a family of Vampires living in Staten Island. Very funny on FX
Is Supernatural still going? I think I got sick of it towards the end of season 2.
I don't know whoever recommended me "Riverdale" but you can get lost. What a boring and cringy show.
Yeah I think they are on like season 15 or something. I'm still quite enjoying it at the minute, although I'm not invested in their family drama I just enjoy the hunting of the weekly monster.
