I watched the first fifteen minutes of the I-Land. I'm stunned. I truly didn't think it was possible to make television that bad. I mean - apart from being horrifically acted, even more horrifically written and having what looks like the most clichéd plot line ever written it's just... Well... 'bad'.
Seriously - words alone can't do it justice. It's shit. Utter utter shit. Like someone baked a turd into a TV show.
Give it a watch - and tell me its not the single worst thing you've ever seen passing as 'drama' on televsion
I did say not long ago, I watched it. I liked it, wasn't overly invested or looking into plot twists or anything but found it watchable. Not the worst idea, I didn't mind it.
Rick and Morty, series 4 has been exceptionally good, and I'm also trying out Watchmen, haven't had interest in any of the DC/Marvel stuff previously, so trying to get a better understanding of the world around it

It might be worth a quick read of the Wiki page on the original Watchmen. It's not essential (my wife had no knowledge of it at all and still really enjoyed the series) but makes it a bit easier to understand. The series takes place in 2019, the comic ends in the mid 1980s.
Watchmen is in my top 3 for 2019 alongside Succession and Chernobyl.
I stuck with Watchmen but it really didnt make a lot of sense. Don't know if it was writers trying to be clever and out manoeuvre fans of the comics or what but I won't be counting down the days until the next series
Rick and Morty gets better and better, guaranteed laughs every episode
The
snake episode was my favourite of the season so far, I do enjoy when it gets a
bit ‘trippy’ as well with time loops, doppelgangers, multiple dimensions etc.
Mr Robot
also went a bit Rick & Morty this week, last 2 episodes ever on Monday! It’s
somewhere around the top 5 of best shows I’ve watched.
Enjoyed Watchmen. It's a bit out there at times but liked how they linked bits back to the comic without being a slave to it. Final episode was very good.
Seems to be a lot of new stuff on at the moment I need to catch up on. Need to get through some older shows first including Sons of Anarchy and only 2 seasons into Power.
The Andy Murray documentary is definitely worth a watch too. He really puts himself through it.
Watched the first episode of the Witcher. It felt a bit lightweight and some of the CGI looked cheap. Maybe I'm missing something because I didn't play the game
I dislike the actor in the Witcher, he’s all chin/no talent. The missus made me watch the cat thing though, what a pair of freaks Luca and his mother....
Just watched Upright starring Tim Minchin. He along with young Milly Alcock forge an unlikely bond in order to transport a piano across Australia. Quirky, melancholic and a proper ending. I liked it. (On Sky Atlantic).
The Sleepers (Bez vědomi) is an HBO 6-parter made by and about Czechs, which was released on Nov.17, the anniversary of the Velvet Revolution. It focuses on a dissident Czech who had fled to London, and returns a couple of months before the revolution. It is extremely dark, although there is minimal violence except when the Russians get involved. It was too personally dark for my wife, although she agreed that the attention to detail was top drawer. Being Czech, competing conspiracy theories abound in the storyline, but there is resolution, of sorts, at the end. Storyline not quite up to the level of my foreign favourites, but if that time in 1989 interests you, this should be rewarding.
It's not a series but I watched Mystify, a doc. film telling the story of INXS' Michael Hutchence. I quite liked INXS, but simply assumed that his suicide was just another sad case of overwhelming pressures of stardom. Turns out the truth was far more complex than that. It's well worth a watch.

Watched the first half last night. I was (is) a big INXS fan. He was a great performer, had a real stage presence. Will never forget being only ten feet from him at Brixton Academy. He's still underated as he was one of the best rock singers of all time.

Not a fan of Hutchence or INXS but this was a worthwhile watch ... so much to despair about.
No matter what I think about him, he was definitely a talent.
Watching the fact-based drama Monzon on Netflix, about the great Argentinian boxer and his wife's suspicious death. Flashes backward and forward to his boxing career and the resultant womanising, to the story's present where he's in jail and the police are investigating his wife's death, plus the back and forth of the opposing lawyers.
No spoilers please by boxing fans who already know how it turned out for him.
Read your post out loud to my Argentinian wife who immediately spoiled it! 😗

There are some seriously twisted individuals out there!

Entertaining, action, nudity, more action.
Not to be confused with the game series, this id a blend of the books and new fiction, currently 4/8 episodes in and enjoying it.
