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.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

Author:  Doctor Glyndwr [ Sun Jul 31, 2016 22:59 ]
Post subject:  Re: General Purpose US TV thread

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.
