We watched SS-GB. It interested me enough to try another episode, but I am not sure.

 

We are also watching Taboo. It's not really my thing at all, but Mr gee40 and our daughter are enjoying it.

Must admit, I did struggle on a few scenes!

 

I often struggle with words on scenes - maybe age related - but then I have no problems with the News or Wheeler dealers

I just put subtitle on - makes it feel like a Nordic drama

 

On Topic - as said above - just catching up on the latest series of Wheeler Dealers - not as much Edd fiddling with stuff and explaining it so not quite as good as previously

I think Taboo has got better over the series - didn't much like it to start - but now eager to see how it finishes

Person of Interest (halfway through season 1)

 

Season 5 starts tomorrow night on 5US at 21:00. I thought it started to get a bit silly towards the end of season 4, but with any luck 5 will be a return to form. It goes out the same time as Timeless, but I've decided I've had enough of that series. Time Tunnel was far superior (I wish they would repeat that).

 

Did anyone watch SS-GB on Sunday night? I really liked it, but i'm a bit biased, i like war time films/TV programmes.

Was it a budget version of Man In the High Castle? It sure sounded like it might be. (I didn't watch either).

Did anyone happen to watch Ash vs The Evil dead series that was done recently?

 

Yeah, it's good, gallons of blood.

 

Baskets has continued to be good, half way into s1 now.

 

Man Seeking Woman still good in s3.

 

The Detour has returned, has somehow become a cross between The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, and Banshee

Started watching Mr Robot this week, loads of people have said that I would like it and they're right I do, not so sure my other half liked it so it may be one to keep for when shes working late shifts.

 

All caught up with Blindspot now, waiting a week between episodes is soooo annoying.

Mr Robot is some good TV. Unfortunately I didn't have enough willpower to save it up and so I watched it week on week. Possibly would have been better in one binge.

IMO though season 1 was better than season 2. S2 was still good, but.... anyway I won't spoil it for you.

 

I am loving the new season of The Walking dead. Although it is a lot of talking going on and not so much action, I guess they figured when they began the season the way they did they can fill the rest of it with buildup and then finish on action at the end of the season again.

 

Also watching with the missus a show called Comic book men. It is basically the podcast of the same name led by actor/director Kevin Smith. If you are a fan of his or a bit of a comic book geek then it is worth a watch.

Inside No 9 started again the other night. Brilliant stuff again, love the way they get a fairly standard story concept (in this case arguing over the bill in a restaurant), turn that on its head, an dby now if you're a regular viewer, you're waiting for the twist at the end, but when it comes, it's still a big surprise :)

Yeah I enjoyed it until the 'twist'. Didn't make sense to me :(

not sure what you didn't get? can't see how to add spoiler tags, and don't want to ruin it for anyone.

 

 

Just watched episode 2 of the 3rd series of Black Mirror. That was brilliant, so much scarier and more intense than most horror films. Enjoyed the subtle, and not so subtle video game references.

 

Like most episodes, his vision of the future is a bit too scarily accurate, especially the previous one everyone rating every interaction!

I agree with you about S2 of Mr Robot - I was a bit disappointed after S1

 

Walking Dead I enjoy, but I have to switch my critical faculties off while watching, else I'm always thinking "surely all the petrol/bullets/etc would've run out by now" - the zombies are just back story now - its more post apocalypse survival now - though I think they would be scrapping round in a very basic agrarian lifestyle by now - more like in the 1970s BBC series - Survivors - for those of us old enough to remember it :(

Mr Robot S2 is interesting, in that it points out that the plan of S1 was kinda stupid.

 

Walking Dead: Well, they're looking into making bullets. Car fuel will need additives after about a year if it's going to run in an engine, so that's pretty much a cop out anyway.

 

The communities are farm/fishing based.

 

Started watching Fleabag, good so far.
