Finally got round to watching Arrested Development. It's... really very funny.

I still don't get the usage of the Ron Howard narrator voice by the Bezzies though.

Episode 2 was pretty awesome, too. Love it.

See there is a new Marvel TV Show "Marvels The Defenders"

Must be Netflix or Amazon as the entire season in on the NG

Quote:
Marvel's The Defenders follows Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. A quartet of singular heroes with one common goal - to save New York City. This is the story of four solitary figures, burdened with their own personal challenges, who realize they just might be stronger when teamed together.


Not managed to watch any of the single character shows yet!

I expect I'm going to be irritated by The Defenders.

Marvel's standard plot seems to be "Team forms. Team struggles to work together as a team. Team fragments and bad things happen. Team have epiphany and learn to work together as a super happy team. Team wins"

I expect this to be exactly the same, with the added problems that Daredevil and Iron Fist were shit.

Daredevil was good, fool. I refuse to watch Iron Fist as it sounds gash.

That and the fact that it's boring and stupid and I just don't care what happens to anyone in the whole show. I don't think I've ever watched anything where I've spent more time just looking at my phone instead.

Well there's no point punching stuff when there's a lot of whining to do about everything. I like how the end just set him up for a whole second season of EVEN MOAR WHINING.

I've never watched it. Does he do more whining than Daredevil?

And does it feature anyone as punchable as Foggy?

In fact, in Defenders, will Iron Fist fist Foggy?

I will present the alternative view that S2 turned the violence (thanks to the presence of The Punisher) to eleventy and so I enjoyed it much more than S1 of Daredevil (as Daredevil is best when the action / dialogue does not revolve around him).

Watched the first three episodes of Defenders and am enjoying it so far.

We watched the first three last night and it's got us both hooked.

After 5 minutes though Mrs T declared of Iron Fist 'well he's shit' which is still fair but the others more than make up for him.

I read that there's a running gag that other characters keep mentioning that he's an idiot, or acting in such a manner? I approve.

If you're a sensible person who watched the Max Landis version of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, then you will likely enjoy this most excellent trailer for Season Two.

Max Landis often divides opinion, but I've always agreed with his views on trailers (that they usually give far too much away and try to tell the plot instead of giving a feel for the mood and characters). It's a cracking trailer.

Not a new programme, but I watched the first of The Video Game Years on Amazon Prime, with there being a year covered per episode. It's nice from a nostalgia point of view, but a lot of the humour falls rather flat.

Season 2's Escape from LA is one of the single most greatest episodes they've done. It's so goddamn horrifyingly sad I was almost in tears.

We finished watching The Handmaid's Tale last night. I realise it was originally written in the 60's but it feels extremely relevant now, what with the whole MRA / Alt-Right lunatics now actually in power.

I'm not sure if I could say I enjoyed it as I found much of it just a bit too creepy. There's a *lot* of non-consensual sex in it and it's pretty uncomfortable to watch at times. I get that they are wanting to show the discomfort to reflect the terrible situation these women are in, it just felt a bit like torture porn, only with a lot more rape in it.
