Finished S2 of The Man in the High Castle.
First half was a bit slow and also as they added more scenes from the Japanese Trade Minister 'dreaming' you learn a bit more.
2nd half picked up and was pretty good again.

Finished Narcos - good series, although given it follows Pablo, as he nears his inevitable end (sorry bout the spoiler) you almost start to feel sorry for him, how the mighty had fallen, then he goes and does something and you think, nope arrogant fluffybunny!
I see why they named it Narcos now, rather than anything to do with Pablo, as it leaves them open for another series.
I just got around to finishing Narcos S2 and am now looking forward to the next series of it. It's also been a good starting point to do some reading about what actually happened.
Also, I can't believe Steve was in Colombia all that time and still couldn't speak Spanish.

RI can't believe how they messed up the characterisation of Limon in the scene where he shots the girl. In that scene they portrayed him as a crazed whack-a-do, yet in every other scene at the same time period he's his usual self. That was just weird and didn't really advance any part of the story.

For those of you with kids, check out Trollhunters. Great cartoon series from Netflix. The kids will love it and it's not bad from an adults POV.

Wasn't overly impressed with the last series of Sherlock. The show just seemed to become a parody of itself and way too gimmicky.
I do think it created one of the best TV villians ever in its version of Moriaty though and a spinoff show for Mrs Hudson has potential.

Yeah, that ending almost seemed like I was watching a Pegg/Frost creation, overall rather enjoyable though.

Yeah, there is certainly worse crap on TV but this was a show I used to really look forward to each episode and became one I'd catch up on.

Watched Episodes 1 & 2 on Sunday... and it felt like there was a jarring difference between the two. But then I thought... that's probably a good thing, it's not as formulaic as most TV stuff.
Then Episode 3 last night... I seem to recall being quite drawn in for the first 30 minutes maybe?... a few WTF moments...
but then it devolved into a checklist of all the stuff that needs to happen in a Sherlock episode: "Moriarty being a camp nutter, check. Moriarty with creepy over-acting, check. Sherlock figuring something out inside his head but with hand-movements and figures visible to the viewer, check. Watson being just a generally nice/moral guy, check. Sherlock having an emotional revelation, check." -
while there is not much in the posts above about Sherlock, best to ensure you note any spoilers...
I have only watch 1.5eps, is a bit meh, 2nd ep in particular is odd so far.
Given the time between series, you expect the standard to be so high.

@jegga was channel surfing and came across the 'new' MacGyver...haha, pisstake surely, choreography was shite, stunts looked average, and yep dude needed more of a punch than the piss weak baddie gave him tonight...he did make a parachute off the back of a canvas topped military truck in 30seconds though!

I can't work out how to search the 4000 posts in this thread, but has anyone on here watched all the seasons of the UK TV series Skins? I'm just about at the end of the 2nd season and have enjoyed it so far, but reading online it says that they replace basically all of the regular characters with new ones for the 3rd and subsequent seasons.
Kinda sounds like a recipe for disaster for me, so was wondering if any of the Ferners had seen the 3rd-7th series and could give advice on whether it's worth carrying on?

I watched all of the first change episodes (3 - 4) but I think they changed again for 5 to 7 which I didn't watch. The first change episodes were pretty good.

First 2 seasons were my favourite. But I still enjoyed the later seasons also. Definitely worth sticking with it

I've finally got round to watching season one of The Fall and thought it was bloody good. I've heard that season two isn't much cop, nothing much happens just the two antagonists mumbling all the time. Can anyone advise please?
-
@Catogrande season 2 is ok, it's S3 that goes downhill fast, although I have only watched 2 eps, just a bit meh I am in no rush to finish.

Very late to the party, but am hammering through Peepshow at the moment. Those guys are absolutely brilliant.
Got through Last Chance U as well. Really good. Can't wait for series 2.
