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.

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.

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.)

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.

Yeah season 1 of Bojack is good, but it's the end of the season and then especially season two where it really finds its style.

Preacher really is fantastic. We caught up over the weekend and the latest episode was great and the flashback scene suddenly made sense.

So, that's hell. The cowboy is living in a perpetual hell by reliving the days of his family dying. If that's right, shouldn't Eugene be in there somewhere? That'll be interesting to see.

Also, the mess that the angels left the hotel room in. That was quite something! At least they left the radio on for the girl in the bath. That was brilliant.

Watched the first two episodes of Season One of Bojack Horseman last night, if these are supposed to be the weaker episodes before it finds its feet (hooves?) then the prospects are great because I thought it was really funny and engaging right from the start.

I am pleased because after my MEGA DOOM SPLURGE over the last few weeks I need something to consume myself with, and Bojack Horseman looks like it will fit the bill (<< duck joke) nicely.

Keep your eyes peeled, too. Anytime there's text on-screen -- shop signs, books on shelves, scrolling tickers on MSNBSea News -- there's more jokes in there.

Although don't think too hard about how the start credits show that his swimming pool is only an inch deep, because you won't be able to unsee it. Oops. Sorry.

Post subject:  Re: General Purpose US TV thread
Yeah I noticed loads of lovely little details just in the first two episodes, the whole thing charmed me right from the off. (And I clocked the slightly bizarre swimming pool too :))

I love the way all the animal people have characteristics of their animals too, like the way Princess Carolyn landed on all four feet when Bojack hoofed her out of the car, and the pigeon people flew off when startled by a loud noise inside the restaurant.

I love the written puns so much. Sometimes Sal and I are laughing so hard at these we miss actual dialogue.
