I reckon it just means that the main overarching plot revolves around that character but mostly it'll be business as usual.

Finished iZombie season 2 last night; the finale was a belter. This show has gone from strength to strength. Also a new candidate for my favourite punny name: a military contractor company called Philmore Graves. (Still undisputed champion: District Attorney Baracas.)

It's on Netflix. You should be watching it.

Have begun enjoying Brain Dead more as it goes on. It's totally silly and fun but also quite timely and pointed in its way.

They really are. And useful too! Wish all shows had these, way better than when they just show you a jumble of clips from five episodes ago that you've forgotten how to make any sense of.

In some early eps in season 1 they copied a lot of the other CW shows with a "my name is [Liv Moore|Barry Allen|Oliver Queen| and i am [a Zombie|the fastest man alive|going to save my city]" and thats when i spotted it

Yeah, brilliant TV. Enjoyed every episode.

We've just started Mr Robot, I kinda like Elliott.

Finished Season 2 of BOJACK HORSEMAN last night, what a great series, and like, proper genuine drama going on with really interesting characters, as well as many laughs.

It's the sort of thing I'm happy to pay a Netflix sub for all by itself, as long as there's one decent series on the go to watch, that'll do for me.

I think series 2 is the highpoint so far for Bojack. Spent a lot of time building things up in series 1, and whilst I loved series 3 I don't think it hit quite the same highs, but yeah it's a magnificent thing that satisfies on several levels.

It's just as adept at delivering a silly little gag that gets you laughing as it is a genuinely heartfelt moment of character development.

It's top tier.

Anyway- episode 10. WTF? Unlike the comics, where there was an overall driver for the main characters' behavior, I'm not sure what the actual point of the show is or where it's going, to be honest. Maybe all will become clear in the final 10 minutes.


It feels like it's set up for the main arc of the comic now. A road trip to find God and kick his ass.

I thought it was brilliant. Still not 100% on Dominic cooper, but he'll do.

Someone made a spotify playlist of the soundtrack, which is good because the sound track is great.

Goodness me how amazingly good is the 'Fish Out Of Water' episode of Bojack Horseman in Season 3?

Absolutely superb, incredibly bold to do almost an entire episode of such a 'talky' show with almost no dialogue in it whatsoever, such fantastically luscious visuals and music, and the story is so beautifully told.

This is a consistently excellent programme anyway, but that episode really was something rather special.

Yes. It's marvellous, a real landmark episode. And the cut at the end is perfectly timed.

We just finished S3. Tremendous show.

Yep, a traditional network would never dare to air an episode like that. I really hope we get more daring TV like that from on-demand providers.

Well no, but if someone says "name two Buffy episodes", the answer is "Hush and Once More With Feeling". That's just..how it is, man.

Talking about preacher again. I really enjoyed it from the start but it's fair to say it starts slowly and really gets going halfway through the series when the narrative gears connect. Stick with it.

3 and a bit series into Always Sunny in Philadelphia and the quality is consistently high. I love it. But associate too much with some bits. Devito is superb.

Always Sunny pretty much just gets better and better.

Edit: I think the Skiing episode from the latest season is my favourite of them all.

Have we spoke about "Stranger things" in this thread? If so, I missed it.. But I didn't miss the actual programme!

The wife and I watched them all this weekend and it was brilliant.
