First episode of the new season of Mr Robot was fantastic, although it's a two parter and the second part isn't out yet.

In fact it ties in nicely to when I binge watched the first couple of seasons laid up in bed on Morphine :DD

I thought it was okay, but I wasn't super-sold on it. I'll watch the next series, though.

This echoes my thoughts entirely but that's only because I want to get my moneys worth out of Amazon prime... Providing they show it of course.

What does a two parter mean? It's only half the usual length?

It's just presented as "Part 1" and then it says "Interlude" at the end.

I think the difference is that they are broadcast back to back, but only part 1 is on the internet so far.

It'll be two episodes of the usual 40/50 minute length.

I don't think that there's an Aussie TV thread, so I'm putting it here.

'Please Like Me' is a very funny sitcom.

Apparently it starts off a little weak, but I only watched a couple of episodes from Series 3, so that didn't affect me.

Plus the girl in it who was in Neighbours is marvellous.

I don't think Stranger Things has got a mention yet, but it's brilliant. 6 down and 2 to go tonight.

We've watched episode one mostly off the recommendations here and facebook and it was great. Need to find time to watch some more though.

Just watching ep 5. Love it. Love the John Carpenter vibe.

Dr Zoidberg · **Joined:** 15th Oct, 2010 **Posts:** 5151

We're sat here just starting episode 8. There's so many nods to all kinds of 80s entertainment in there - there's a Breakfast Club line I just noticed.

Just started Stranger Things. 5 minutes in and it's already ace. That D&D campaign sounded cool.

Also I'm scared.

The three D and D playing kids in stranger things. Not in mad dogs.

Stranger things? If do, the girl is awesome. Episode two was a great bit of acting. HHe acres is only 12.

Have binged all but two of Stranger Things in the last 24 hours, excellent. Splendid mix of ET, Close Encounters, Poltergeist, Goonies and The X Files...congratulations to all.

The youngsters in it are brilliant.

There's even a "Breakfast Club" line near the end.

Started watching Murder in the First.

Not a new show its currently on S3. Good though each season is one crime investigation.

Also had a look at Zoo, its about animals all over the world loosing their fear of humans, was Ok and is in S2 but I think now we have all the Murder in the First to watch we won't end up watching it.

Filling the gap until the fall stuff starts

Where's the best place to start with this? I've read loads of good things about it and of course it's all on Netflix which I already have a sub to, but I've also read that Season 1 really isn't that great, and that it didn't hit its stride until Season 2, or at least the back half of Season 1.

Is it OK to dive straight into Season 2, or is Season 1 not that bad?

I have a DOOM shaped hole that needs filling with something. (Title-ish.)

Doctor Glyndwr · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 32619

I'd watch it all. I don't agree that S1 is not worth bothering with; it gets better as it goes along (as do so many comedies) but it's good stuff from the start in my opinion. Plus there's some overarching storyline too.

It's not that long -- half-hour shows and 10-13 per season.

Be Excellent To Each Other
