finished Afterlife...agree with comments above, very good series.
Finally finished S2 of The Punisher...meh...Castle plus the 2 baddies were all but indestructible...I mean one baddie, after being beaten, shot, beaten, shot, then has a further 3 bullets put in his torso and yet still manages to walk away...usually I am ok with this genre (Banshee, S1 The Punisher) but they took this to a whole new level of BSness and was just tiresome.

The Umbrella Academy
I thought this was cool. Like Heroes but with no edges sanded off, and far more sophisticated in its thinking. No surprise it is based on a Dark Horse comic.
Gotta say they built into some of the characters really well - particularly those who have powers you think are pretty fucking useless. Well casted, some killer tracks, and the right amount of special effects.
Second Series should be rad.

@Kirwan Apparently not:
Fuck. Similar situation in Oz
I took an alternate option. Great series.

@taniwharugby I’m back on season 3.

@taniwharugby Amazon bought the rights after SyFy cancelled the series, so the gap between seasons may be longer than usual.

ok maybe I need to give expanse another shot.
Takes a while to get going, it’s definitely one to binge watch, another one with a lot of characters.

@Kirwan I watched up until the chick in the shower. The Mrs out for work tonight so I guess that's me.
Perfect, all go from there

Black Summer
Have started this on Netflix and up to Ep 3.
Zombie apocalypse with a minimalist approach to storytelling - basically chops up each episode into vignettes about a particular person, item, or theme. You see other storylines intersecting up close or from a distance, which makes it good to watch.
I like the focus on individuals and small groups. It lives in the moment, and I haven't got a sense of an overarching storyline yet.

@NTA think I am upto ep 4 maybe?
As with most of this genre, it relies on stupid people.
Case in point, think ep 4

Natch. It's a zombie flick, and they're Americans

Finished "After Life" agree with comments above, great show, best thing from Gervais in a long time and that is speaking as someone who isn't generally a fan of his. I was a bit gutted to see there was only 6 episodes..sat down last night with some takeaway to watch the 7th. Not to be.
