Really enjoying The Umbrella Academy, even the set musical pieces, which I usually hate(yes, I'm looking at you, Buffy:"Once more, with Feeling"). Also pilot of Doom Patrol. Some nice diversion from the usual Marvel stuff

Heard many good things about Punisher though.

I'm not that bothered about Jessica Jones, but I will definitely miss the Punisher (especially since I've only just started watching S2). 😭

To be fair, wasn't Jessica Jones universally panned? I tried watching it but couldn't get through it. I got up to the point where Doctor Who Mr. Brainwashy Man made that Policemanofficer jump off the building, and I still wasn't into it.

No, praised, 88% on RT. Punisher 66%, Daredevil 75%, Luke Cage 89%, Iron Fist 38%, The Defenders 77%

This week I have been mostly watching: Ryan Hansen Solves Crimes On Television season 1, so meta it might hurt you, but I love that kinda thing. Twist ending was great.

Can't say the cancellation of the Netflix Marvel line is a surprise. I was more surprised that some of the new Marvel shows that have been announced will be on Hulu rather than the new Disney streaming channel - until I learned that Disney own part of Hulu. I haven't been able to get to the end of a Netflix/Marvel show...

Watching tv is bad for the planet don't you know. We're all going to die :D

 

Well, it's bad for yourself, but then again if everyone dies sooner that'll help.

 

You're The Worst is back, as is Man Like Mobeen.

We watched the first episode of this last night. Excellent stuff, serious and funny, likable characters. Will watch more tonight!

Watched this too. Quite liked it, but not yet totally sold.

The Umbrella Academy: Same here, watched it all, and now hoping they commission a second season. Loved the little fun musical set pieces - certainly "I think we're alone now" as it made all of the characters feel more 'human'.

Yep, the Tiffany bit hooked me as well. It linked them all together as a family. Oh and best CGI chimp ever!

I am close to finally catching up with Vikings. Halfway through Ep 19 of Season 5. Must admit this last season is a little more hard going than the previous ones, or perhaps I am just a bit worn out having caught up by binging season 3/4 over the last month.

 

Also started on The Umbrella Academy. Only on Episode 2 but it looks like it has some serious potential!

Thanks for this; gave it a miss when it started as I thought it was about one of those "famous only in the US" people and it was some sort of reality show - been enjoying it so far.

You mean you've not heard of Ryan Hansen? So you're like everyone else in the show then.

 

Helps if you've seen Veronica Mars

Watched the first Doom Patrol. Much better (and more expensive-looking) than I was expecting, though the FX were variable and the boobies and swears were gratuitous - though the biggest shock was Brendan Fraser, who I took a while to recognise. Can't remember pre-Robotman Cliff being such an a-hole, either. Otherwise, looking forward to finding time for ep 2.

Last night we watched the new Louis Theroux - The Night in question (about sexual assault accusations on uni campus)- interesting as always, no answers. Strange there being "assembly" for freshers on how to behave :( Reminds me of that tea analogy that did the rounds about you wouldn't force someone to drink a cup of tea if they changed their mind, I don't remember ever being taught how to treat ppl, I'm pretty sure I was a typical teenage boy, and just got used to not getting what I wanted ;)

 

Sometimes wish he would return to light and fluffy stuff for change of pace.

Change of tone last night - watched the first episode of the new Alan Partridge series - actually in some ways similar "did they really just say that?" ;) Very funny, and also uncomfortable, but this time in a good way :) The lady presenter was brilliant as well.

Watched "Love, Death, and Robots" on Netflix - short sci-fi stories. Some were amazing ("Beyond the Aquila Rift", "Lucky 13", "Helping Hand"), others just meh - definitely worth a watch though.
