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 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? |

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. |

Post subject: | Re: General Purpose US TV thread |
Finished a couple of series in the past week: Santa Clarita Diet Had already watched most of it, but got the last two episodes and watched them to finish it off. Very entertaining, and Timothy Olyphant is simply superb in it. The rest of the cast is also good, but he totally steals it, IMO. Very good, will watch a second series. Designated Survivor (aka Unexploded Politican) It's fun in the same genre as '24', with a bit of a less slick 'West Wing' thrown in there. Kiefer is exactly what you'd expect, despite playing quite a different character from Jack Bauer, and Kal Penn is excellent in his role as Not Sean Spicer. It does get less believable as it goes on, and doesn't have a satisfactory conclusion. In fact, the last episode was a pile of crap, for the most part. ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! I may well still watch the second series , as Kiefer remains eminently watchable. |

That's how we refer to it as well. Still enjoying it even though they can't decide if they want to make a 24 style action show or a serious political drama. |

I have started watching 'THE CONFESSIONS TAPES' on Netflix. It's a bit like Making A Murderer but focused specifically on dodgy confessions across many different cases. All I can say is just hope that the police never decide you're guilty of something.... |

Just finished Big Little Lies. "Subversive, darkly comedic drama Big Little Lies tells the tale of three mothers of first graders whose apparently perfect lives unravel to the point of murder" My wife was recommended it and at first glance I wasn't keen. Turned it was realty good and a little different, the first episode opens with a murder, but you don't find out who was killed and who did it until the last 5 minutes of the last episode. |

We watched the first two of those and I was left wondering much the same thing as after Making A Murderer. i.e. just how much of the story/evidence did the filmmakers leave out to fit the story they wanted to tell? |

Anyone watched The Orville ? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5691552/ A Seth MacFarlane "Star Trek" show, its very well done visually, although I suppose most things can be made to look good these days with technology. Watched the first episode last night at 9pm with my 5 month old son (who has the sleeping pattern of an adult) so probably didn't have 100% focus as he was wriggling all the time Found myself enjoying what at times is a welcome Star Trek clone show that at some points follows a sort of serious sci-fi show plot, but has comedy in it, jokes are not as outrageous as American Dad and Family Guy. So I struggled with it a bit. Read some reviews and people say its gets a bit better after Ep03 Worth watching though and I'll keeping viewing for a few more episodes yet |

As our baby was still up and being a handful my wife was not too bothered about what was on TV. She normally hates sci-fi, but she did laugh a few times at the comedy So maybe this can be a gateway show for educating her on the joys of sci-fi |

I finished Preacher season 2 over the weekend and it has been absolutely brilliant. It was left on a proper cliff hanger so I really hope that it's renewed for a third season. It's quickly become my favourite thing on TV. |
