It’s the same deluded hacks who were behind Game of Thrones, so they probably think they can write a much better story than Liu. They’ve also cast Sam Tarly in it, which is a bad sign.I recommend reading the books. I doubt the show will do Cixin Liu justice.
I really enjoyed the books, especially the second one (probably the most depressing and disturbing sci-fi book I’ve ever read) but those jokers are the last people I’d want handling something as cerebral and challenging as Three Body.
Tried sopranos and the wire and they did nothing for me. Breaking bad and Game of thrones are the best ever for me

Watching True Detective season 1 for the first time. Hope it lives up to the hype
Very jealous. Would love to be able to go in blind on that again.

It's top, but there are now issues as they kicked out Costner. Have not watched the spin offs yet though
I'm only halfway through so haven't been reading about it... how come he's been kicked out?

I’m surprised you say that about sopranos. I gave it a miss in the 90s but I’m enjoying it now.Tried sopranos and the wire and they did nothing for me. Breaking bad and Game of thrones are the best ever for me

That's a shame, won't be the same without him (based on what I've seen so far upto season 3).

Should I start watching Wheel of Time?
Busy with the first book, so maybe now is the time to watch it and not be disappointed in the show?
Or would I spoiler the books?

Not read the books but the show is worth watching, 2nd season was better than the first so that bodes well for the future.Should I start watching Wheel of Time?

Watched that Fool Me Once show on Netflix. Decent enough. After watching the recommendations where like 6 other mini series by the same author. Read up on him and the man pumps out at least 1 book a year for 30 years now and has 14 show deal with Netflix.

A couple of episodes in and it seems undemanding and formulaic but entertaining popcorn TV.
Just watched season 2 of The Tourist. Meh at best.
Actually it was outright stupid with some terrible acting.

Yeah it's a 6-7 out of 10, higher if this kind of show is really your jam. Definitely gets less formulaic as it goes on.A couple of episodes in and it seems undemanding and formulaic but entertaining popcorn TV.

We've become quite caught up (in between waiting for the next instalment of Fargo Season 5) in the American war of independence spy drama Turn. Really good plot and some memorable characters, fictional and historical both. It really gets going in season 2.

Randomly put on first episode of LOUDERMILK and enjoyed it.
BERLIN is suffering from too much focus on the dull supporting characters and soppy romantic sub-plots.
Loudermilk really grew on me, binged my way through that during the summer. Waiting eagerly for the next season.
Gave up on Berlin Station (if that's what you're referring to here) midway through the second episode, just obviously pretty bad to me.

I was talking about the MONEY HEIST spin-off. I want to give BERLIN STATION a go because I like spy shows

Aaah....well, in that case I couldn't agree more when you complain about it overdoing things on the latino romance front. Oh God, the endless soliloquys.
Still found it worth watching though.

I enjoyed it although a bit less each season. That said I'd have watched a 4th season if they had made one.

Just saw the first episode of Monsieur Spade and quite like it. I hope the remaining episodes live up to it.
Took a while to get used to the fact that certain scenes were flashback scenes but apart from that solid episode.Just saw the first episode of Monsieur Spade and quite like it. I hope the remaining episodes live up to it.

Brilliant.
It was these two posts which piqued my interest in a show that I’d never even heard of. It is absolutely wonderful, made all the more special due to my father having worked on the later Apollo missions.So good.
Started the latest season thinking that no way it keeps me hooked again like the previous 3, but now with only the season finale left, I'm definitely hooked again.
I’m only through six episodes of the first season but I am seriously hooked. Thanks gents.
