So long as Veronica is posh, stubborn, annoying, and not right for Archie whilst Betty is down-to-earth, wet, annoying, and not right for Archie, all would be well.

After 4 episodes, Veronica schemes and has a longer game. Cheryl tells you she's going to fuck your shit up, and proceeds to do so. Iy's that kind of honesty I fell in love with .

First time I entered this place in Corinth, Mississippi, it felt like walking into an Archie comic.

We watched the pilot of The Deuce last night.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4998350/
Set in New York in the early 70s it's very atmospheric and looks superb. I'm not sure where the story is going other than plenty of crime, drugs and prostitution, but it's worth a look if you like that kind of thing.

This series has been one of the best things on tv in ages, and I told Pete I'd start a thread on it, but haven't got round to it (sorry Pete).

No idea when I'll get round to watching the finale though, so I'm just going to avoid big chunks of the internet until I do.

Then I need to find the time to watch the whole lot again from the beginning.

When you do, some links for you to come back to:

http://www.indiewire.com/2017/09/twin-p ... 201872863/ -> explains a lot of symbolism I missed in the finale, entirely because I hadn't rewatched the first two seasons and Fire Walk With Me immediately before.

http://www.vulture.com/2017/09/twin-pea ... eview.html -> still reading this one, but makes some great, thought-provoking points.

I never watched the original show. Would I need to do this in order to enjoy\get this show, or could I just watch this on its own?

You should just jump in whenever. It's fairly straightforward.

The second season of "The Last Kingdom" was fantastic, and recommended for everyone with a passing interest with swords, vikings and so on. In many places feels more authentic than Vikings and the girl who plays Aethelfled is the prettiest thing on TV.

Electric Dreams (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5711280/?ref_=nv_sr_1) might be my most antecipated show ever. Please please don't suck.

I'm waiting for that to drop on Netflix.

I found the first series almost turn-offably stupid for the first couple of episodes, but was ultimately won over. I still find the main character to be hot-headed to the point of infuriating idiocy, but I like everyone else.

I watched the first episode of The Mist on Netflix last night.

I was alright, certainly ramped up towards the end. As there's a lot of other stuff to get watched I'm not sure if it's worth continuing. What does the Hivemind perceive?

It's true. He seems to have been chosen mostly because of his good looks, but he's much better in the second season. The rest of the cast is fantastic. The guy who plays King Alfred is one hell of an actor.

Oh that's superb. Really tense and Helen found the ending to be one of the most traumatic she'd ever watched.

I think I lasted four episodes of the tv show out of desperation that it might improve but it didn't.
