Having never seen the original and only really being aware of it through Simpson’s references, what do you reckon I’d make of it?

You'd be lost, to be honest

I can only vaguely remember the original and not with any great degree of fondness. This is better.

I'd imagine most people would enjoy it to be honest. Give it a go.

Well, apart from my Bad Joke that you ignored, I seriously doubt there's any carry over from the technicoloured ultra-camp 60's original. I did enjoy Gary Oldman in the 90s movie though. Until he inevitably got replaced by bad CGI. Sigh, those 90s, eh?

I enjoyed the original. I remember repeats being shown on C4 after the Walton's on Sundays (which I did not watch).

Also Land of the Giants.

Same. Also THE INVADERS!

and OG Star Trek. I associate all of these with Sunday afternoon. Later on, Babylon 5 took the Sunday afternoon spot.

Very much in Michael Jackson killed a whale in the Thames territory, but American Crime Story is great! Brilliantly written and acted.

It’s fab! There’s another one on BBC at the moment about the killing of Gianni Versace. It’s a bit different in form as there’s no courtroom aspect and not solely about that one killing, but does focus on one perpetrator.

It’s worth looking at the comparisons between the cast and real people just to see how amazingly close theyve cast some people to their real life counterparts.

I love how they're all so thematically different from each other.

I've not watched Iron Fist or Defenders yet. Struggling for motivation tbh.

Happy to give it a miss then. Watched S2 of JJ before Punisher anyway, so I'm all out of sync now.

In continuing "Chris watching Friends" news - the one with the wedding to ghastly Helen Baxendale is great - Hugh Laurie in particular. "By the way, it seems to be perfectly clear that you were on a break". Also Jennifer Saunders.

I've just made it through the first episode of the reboot of "Lost in Space"...I am supposed to want them all to die horribly aren't I?



Because I do...don't think I'll bother with the rest.

I've got this downloaded as I enjoyed the utter batshittery* of the Grant Morrison comic it's based on but I haven't got round to watching it yet.

*As if there's any other kind of Grant Morrison comic.

Finished episode 2 last night and am really enjoying it...dark, gritty, violent...with just the right amount of flying unicorn action.

ETA: also, a second series has been confirmed.

1 amd a half episodes in, and am not enjoying S2 Westworld very much. It's a bit too clompy and has lost a lot of the charm.
