S2E5 of Barry was hilarious...the Tae Kwon Do champ and his feral daughter 🤣

The Blacklist
I've finished the first half of Season 7. I only still watch this show because of James Spader but I seriously doubt even he can save this show now. They are dragging on the current plot line and continue to showcase the dumbest FBI agent on TV and perhaps the most annoying character on a TV show that I watch. If the writers don't wrap this up soon no one will care when the "truth" is finally known.

Zomboat!
After a Zombie apocolypse hits Birmingham, 2 sisters decide to head to London on a canal boat....
Came across this, sounded like it might be ok if done well.
It was better than ok, I really enjoyed it, 6 eps at 22 or so mins each, short, silly, punchy, fun.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, and I might have Booboo'd:
Giri / Haji.Have to read half of it from subtitles, but pretty good.
I thought that until the final episode.

New Band of Brothers type mini-series from Spielberg and Hanks
Apple TV apparently has the rights. Looks like it has been in the works (to what level I don't know) for about 6 years or so.I'm excited for this (even though I was disappointed by The Pacific) and it's a bit of a coup for Apple to steal it away from HBO.

I saw this on my Netflix feed this weekend and was wondering whether it was worth watching. Am I correct in thinking it has the girl from Trainspotting and Boardwalk Empire in it?

@antipodean Saw that bit last night and said exactly the same as you.

Have you seen the Pacific since it came out? I too was disappointed at the time but I think maybe that's because I was comparing it to BOB when it was a different story in that it didn't just follow the one company. I've just finished a podcast where they went through the book of one of the main soldiers on The Pacific, made me think maybe I should give the book a read and then give it another watch.

I did a fairly recent rewatch, the last couple of years at least, it's just really not that good. For the first few episodes I thought maybe I had miss-assessed it but by the time it got going it confirmed my earlier thoughts.
I rewatched it after reading Ambrose the younger's book The Pacific and Eugene Sledge's book.

Damn, that is a shame. Hopefully they can right the wrongs with the new series. The subject matter is too important to do a bad job especially with younger folks forgetting what these guys went through. It was Sledge's book that this podcast was going through, will definitely have to give it a read at least.

I wouldn't discourage anyone from giving it a rewatch, it's not wholly bad, but just not great.

It's a hard sell getting the Mrs to watch an outstanding war series...I can't see an average one flying at all.

Haha fair enough, plus there's so much tv out there now it's hard to find time for rewatching old shows if no A++ level (or HD as they use these days).
