brb.

It certainly returned with an explosive bang, and something you could definitely dig your teeth into. Watching some of the characters though is like a hole in the head. It makes me want to go on an absolute rampage.

Something to keep an eye out for:

Welp, Season 3 of Manhattan canned.. There goes another good show..

[MasterShrive 2,018]

Oh no That was on my list (probably). Is Season 2 still going? Does it end in a satisfactory manner? Did they get the bomb completed?! So many questions.

Yep, definitely worth watching and yes the bomb used for trinity test was completed

[MasterShrive 2,018]

Alright. I'll keep it on said list then. In fact, now that I know there won't be more episodes it's probably bumped itself further up the rankings.

[Phobos 1,212]

Can't remember if I posted it, The Expanse finished for the season. Another really good scifi under the radar.

 

About to finish War and Peace. I must say old boy, one of the best mini series in years. If you have any interest in the novel, the time period, monarchy system, Napoleon's invasion or the Russian Empire. You'll love this - If the trailer I linked earlier, peaks your interest, do eeet.

(Shrivey, make this #1 on your list - I know you'll probably enjoy it heaps)

I'm going to watch it as soon as I finish The Last Ship (almost done). Sounds like a good find.

 

I might give The Expanse a look too - sounds right up my alley.

[PistolKnight 554]

Finished watching True Detective season 2, enjoyed it more than season 1 (although I found season 1 a little weird)

[PistolKnight 554]

Watched season 1 of Fargo - great small town police drama

[Phobos 1,212]

I've been meaning to watch it!

 

I watched a bit of the X Company, PK. Mmm, i'll have to give it another try. The way it's filmed/set out felt jarring to me

[PistolKnight 554]

Yer fe, it is not the most brilliant series, I did persist. I thought at the start it was a little bit back to the 80's or 90's how the premise for the week is resolved/solved in the week but latter on stories start to cross paths and flows a bit more week to week

[Blueberry 444]

Fargo is amazing.

season 2 of true detective is a season of trash with a few good scenes (dat shootout scene was intense) in my opinion of course. 

[Phobos 1,212]

The Night Watch Man The Night Manager - few big names, Hugh Laurie. Very good show:

It's actually called 'The Night Manager' Phoby, but it looks good.

Six episodes, already out, so if you want to binge on them it's great.

[Blueberry 444]

Night manager is not bad, has a few issues but better than most things TV crap that people enjoy. Spy thriller vibe btw

[Duckz 474]

Borrowed a friends Stan account so I could watch Wolf Creek today.

 

Pretty good mini series if anyone is interested.

Stranger Things - July 15 on Netflix

Set in Hawkins Indiana in the 1980’s, Stranger Things chronicles the search for a young boy who vanishes into thin air under highly suspicious circumstances. His mother (Winona Ryder) opens an investigation into the boy’s disappearance with local authorities that unravels a series of mysteries involving top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one very strange little girl. A love letter to the ubiquitous cult classics of the 80’s, Stranger Things is also a coming of age story for the boy’s three closest friends that draws them into a world where mysteries lurk beneath the surface.

 

[Duckz 474]

Stranger Things came out on Friday.

 

Finished watching it last night. Really enjoyed it. Think Fringe meets The X-Files meets E.T.

[PistolKnight 554]

Finished S02 of Fargo, great follow up season and different to season one

 

 

thought it was a nice touch to link season one and two together in the last ep it never dawned on me they were the same family till I saw that part, although I thought the shootout could have been more intense / suspenseful and was over a bit quick

 

[tricky 81]

BTW, Season 2 of Mr Robot has started if anyone missed it

[MasterShrive 2,018]

I finished The Night Manager yesterday. I really enjoyed it for a quick six-part mini series. It was interesting seeing Hugh Laurie in a different kind of role as well.

He'll always be George to me! Without wiki'ing it, props if you know which character that is!

[MasterShrive 2,018]

I really should go back and watch Black Adder again.
