Same boat. I think the guy who owns the ship or whatever is kinda funny but that's about it. It's hard to imagine it getting a second season but I'll probably finish this one.

Anyone interested in that new The letter for the king netflix show? Looks okay but maybe too kiddy

 

[Joe_Armstrong]

Just watched the Black Mirror episode where they punish a
woman who killed a girl by make her relive the same day.
It was weird.

I watched 3 and then stopped. The cast is all fine but the script just isn't funny.
I expected more from something Armando Iannucci came up with. The Thick of It is brilliant and Veep is pretty good too so I had high expectations.
If I see reports that it does get better then maybe I'll go back to it.

I'd probably just stay out if I were you. I'm caught up and not impressed.l

anyone watch the sinner? it's into the 3rd season now.. it's pretty good

Eight episodes into THE OUTSIDER. Loved the first 3 episodes but it just plateaued after the 3rd episode. It dragged but wasn't annoying or boring but still a lot of uneventful episodes which could have been condensed.

You can tell it's Stephen King by the way the protagonist group slowly band together. I would go as to say that THE OUTSIDER is like a modern version of IT.

Yeah man, I love the unlikely coalition they've formed. Everyone well is well defined, with vast differences that cause enough angst, but the conflicts so far haven't been the usual/lazy tropes shows tend to write in for the sake of drama.

The writing is excellent all around, great acting too of course! I never read the novel, how does it compare so far, for those who have?

Mean to add, check out the McMillions docu on HBO. It's about the giant scam behind their monopoly game that the FBI uncovered thanks to an anonymous tip. Mobsters and McDonald's, a great watch!

Just finished watching Eureka.
It was great. I don't know who's hotter Allison Blake or Jo Lupo.
Nice sci fi show, worth the 7.9 it gets on IMDB.

 

[Congo66]

Episode 1 and 2 of The Hunters on Amazon

Damn. So far so AWSOME!!!!!

I just watched the first 3. The critics haven't been too kind to it but someone I know is watching it and he suggested I give it a go so I did.
It looks like I'm a bit less enthusiastic about it than you are and 'Jonah' is annoying but I'll keep with it and see how it goes.

I've seen all the Warehouse 13's and there's a couple of Eureka/Warehouse 13 crossovers but I didn't know that's what they were.
I guess you'd need to watch Eureka to know what Eureka's Global Dynamics was.

Have you seen all of Eueka ? Looking back now, Eureka is slightly better than W13 imo.
I didn't know who Fargo was when I watched W13 back in the day.

No I haven't seen Eureka at all, I saw before that you mentioned they were in the same universe so I looked it up and saw there were a couple of Eureka and Warehouse 13 crossover episodes but I was the same as you in not knowing Fargo was from another show. I'll add eureka to my list of things to watch.

There are some great serialized plot twists in later seasons.
But in the first season they are all still finding their roles, give it time.

 

[The Diplomat]

Been checking out The Expanse. In the middle of season 2 right now. It's a good show, surprisingly high budget for a Syfy show.

 

[Bloody Pulp]

Finally got around to watching stranger things. Never bothered cause I assumed it was a kids show just based on all the child actors.

Season 1 was epic, 2 still good but not quite the same feeling, just starting season 3.

Thanks man, I never knew it existed. I never watched Warehouse 13 either, as I tend to avoid most SCi-fi channel shows. All the good ones get cancelled it seems.

Anyway, I just watched the first few episodes of Eureka, it's exactly what I was looking for. It feels like a 90's/early 2000's Trek/Stargate vibe, just more silly. It came out just before all the nihilistic/PC crap that took over pretty much every sci-fi show recently. Lot's of hot women, who are good characters too, something else in short supply sci-wise wise too.

Starting castlevania season 3.
Enjoyed season 1 and 2.
Finished in 3 days I think.

Edit
In episode 3 so far. Good stuff.
Enjoying it.
