Our characters mostly got happy endings. Joe took his newfound wisdom and inner peace and escaped the rat race entirely. Donna and Cameron found a way to live with it, to pursue their passions but not be consumed by it. Bos and Dianne made time to "live a little."

It's always been a show about Icaruses -- people destroyed by the passions, but in the end, we see our surviving characters find a way to live fulfilled lives without the destructive monomania that ruled them in earlier years. I count that as a happy ending.

Gordon died! You can't escape the elephant in the room. That scene was probably the saddest thing i've ever see on TV (him looking back at his daughters growing up..... :'( :'( I'm getting all teary eyed again. And then there's all the heartbreak around Haley.

Joe escaped the rat race but left everyone he loved behind, again. Maybe i was asking a lot for him and Cameron to live happily together forever.

The first season was the one with more tech dialogue, and was centered mostly on Joe. My wife loved it since the beginning even though she didn't get orgasms everytime anyone mentioned the Amiga on the show, unlike me.

Some of the tech stuff in Person of Interest bugs me, as basically anything seems to be possible if you've got a laptop handy. I don't think I'd last long watching that Scorpion if that clip is anything to go by :)

Scorpion is about fun, and the stupidness of what it is they're doing is part of that. It very much pokes fun at itself - they broke into a safe with a hot dog sausage once.

You should watch it, if only because it really annoys Gaywood.

And that's what really annoyed me about Mr Robot - they went out of their way to establish that they were going for realism in portrayal of tech and hacking, then came out with unnecessary bullshit nonsense right from the start.

After a while, that initial premise of a powerful supercomputer AI predicting terrorist incidents and planned murders etc. becomes the most plausible part of the programme. I think peak silliness was when -
ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
the good AI moves itself to avoid the bad AI and ends up running on the power grid. Then, when the bad AI realises this and starts causing power cuts everywhere, the good guys, using some magical new compression algorithm and fancy processors, download a highly compressed version of the AI into a battery-powered briefcase in the hope of restoring/rebuilding the good AI at a later date.

Anyone watching "The Deuce"? It's HBO quality through and through from the writers of The Wire and produced and acted by James Franco and Maggie Gyllenhall.

It has much violence against women though. So much that now i have to see it on my own because my wife couldn't stomach it.

Finished S2 of the Expanse last night.

I openly wept in the penultimate episode, which perhaps says more about my current work-annihilated state of mind than it does the show, but I did find the refugee scene terribly affecting.

Loved this series though. The crew's slow loosening of their morals and increased lengths they'll go to have been very interesting to watch.

Findus' Expanse Scoreless Scorecard:

Miller great as ever*
Amos - really enjoyed him this time around. He was a one-note meat-head in the first series. This time he was the brutal, blunt oracle of truth and wisdom, afflicted with self-doubt.
Alex - increasingly endearing, especially his blossoming relationship with the ship
Naomi - her accent grates, but she's playing an important, unreliable role as the ship's wayward moral compass.
Jim - often too emo for my liking, he needs to wind his neck in.
Indian UN lady (Chrisjen, I had to look it up) - Fucking bad ass.
Fred Johnson - love the way he's never just Fred, he's always Fred Johnson. I like him.

Looking forward to series 3.

*though watching Chris Packham's show about asperger's, made me occasionally think I was looking at a Belter in rural England.

I think I watched about half of the first season before giving up. Some aspects of it were decent but then loads of it was pure soap opera nonsense which ruined it. And Jada Pinkett Smith's horrendous scenery chewing just fucked the tone every time she was on screen.

That - let me assure you - is one of the more realistic bits.

Gotham is pretty batshit crazy, and they just kind of throw anything at the wall to see what sticks. There's some extremely jarring and misguided tonal shifts, loads of threads that are obviously just abandoned part way through because they had no idea what to do with them, and it has a really bad habit of most of the time when someone is killed, it just means that they'll be back with super powers or something in a few episodes time.

But I do really like it, it's got some incredible performances. Their take on Heart of Ice is great, the episode about the Red Hood is a nice little standalone story, and the kid they got playing a Young Joker is a lot of fun. On the whole I would say the production design is a league or two about other similar shows.

It's inconsistent as hell, but definitely worth watching for the highs. To some extent it got over it's identity crisis by the end of the second season, but not entirely.

It plays pretty fast and loose with continuity, where a bunch of the characters/events pulled from the Batman canon get reinvented. Sometimes to great success, but other times it's just a bit of a mess.

Main weakness imo is the dude playing Jim Gordon has a pretty limited acting range, and he's the least enjoyable guy from the main cast. A lot of the young Bruce Wayne stuff is weak, too.

I like Jim Gordon, but young Bruce is indeed terrible. Though Sean Penn is an amazing Alfred.

I thought Sean Penn was an odd choice when you told me about it last night.

The Sarge, though - hell yes. He should be in everything.

He's ex-military in it too, so I like to think it's in the continuity. Somehow. Despite the inherent issues with that.

It's a separate continuity. The creators have already said so

It took a bit of time for me to warm to Pertwee's Alfred, but I think it's one of the better depictions of the character now.

Yeah it is it's own continuity, the timeline doesn't really make much sense otherwise, and it does kind of undermine the idea of the increasingly outlandish villains being a direct response to Batman that is usually a pretty important part of Batman, but I can forgive it because they do some interesting stuff with it.

But sometimes they're not very creative with it, and sometimes it doesn't work. The show's version of Azreal is dumb, and there's a few villains who got decent origins replaced with "oh their wife/mother/daughter was killed so they went bad".

I once again appear to have hit a dearth of programs for my commute that meet the following criteria:

- My wife doesn't want to watch (anything genre or action-leaning tend to be of little interest to her)
- I do want to watch because they're excellent
- They are available to download on Netflix or Amazon

The last was the Expanse, whose sci-fi setting precluded it from Mrs Fop's watchlist (more fool her).

So now I'm considering starting the second series of the Designated Survivor but can't quite shake the feeling it's a colossal waste of time. How does S2 fare against the patchiness of the first series?

And I started Lucifer this morning, which feels annoyingly like a police procedural with a gimmick, a la Numbers. Which feels like a waste of Lucifer in the land of the living. Does it develop a more interesting arc?

Edit: and Mindhunter which is mentioned just above, Mrs Fop has decided she is interested in that. Grr.
Edit edit: And Stranger Things is something she's interested in too. I realise I'm not making it easy. Blame my wife.

Ozark includes Bateman, who generally piques her interest.

Legion, good shout. Got a little Marvelled out after S2 of Daredevil, but Legion sounds suitably weird to freshen things up.

Have you watched any of the documentary series/standalones on Netflix? Most of them are really good.

Stuff like Making a Murderer and The Confession Tapes, for example.

NuTrek?


I've never watched Start Trek. So I've assumed that NuTrek won't be my cup of consomme. Does it require any knowledge of Trek lore?

Narcos is well worth your time as is House Of Cards, although just be aware that it's going to be sort of missing a proper ending. On Amazon Black Sails starts off pretty good and stick with it because it ends up absolutely brilliant.

Wouldn't bother with Star Trek if you aren't really into any previous series or films. Not that you wouldn't be able to follow the story but you there's a lot of stuff in there that would be a bit meaningless.
