<p>His character is Travis Manawa, and I think there was a reference to NZ and/or Maori in there early on.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I liked FTWD, especially the first couple of eps when shit started to hit the fan, but like others, how relaxed everyone was about a lot of it wasn't right.</p>

<br>
Cliff Curtis said in an interview how stoked he was that they wanted him to play a Maori . -
Cheers. Obviously I missed those references and didn't pick up on his last name
-
Cliff Curtis is a Maori? I thought he was a South American Arab

<p>3 episodes in and I'm a bit underwhelmed, started watching Show Me A Hero instead but will finish Mr Robot when I'm done.</p> -
<p>The third series of Endeavour (The prequel to Inspector Morse) has arrived. The first episode was a bit too convoluted but the acting, mood and attention to period detail was great.</p>
-
<p>I'm late to the party with Fargo but I'm hooked. I was reticent to watch this on account of Billy Bob Thornton is far from being my favourite actor and Martin Freeman usually plays, well Martin Freeman. But Billy Bob is great in this and Freeman is not quite so samey. The rest of the cast are just great too and the writing is bloody good although a bizarre storyline.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Highly recommended.</p> -

<p>Fargo season one is really good. I didn't care for the next season. Especially the knock-off Tarantino character "Mike Milligan".</p>

<p>Thank you. Forewarned. Ms Cato No2 has also dissed series 2.</p> -
<p>yeah I had heard some average reviews of S2, not to mention there is no continuation anyway as I think it is set about 30 years before S1?</p>
-
<p>I thought S2 was great, and all the people I know who have watched it (in the real world) thought so to - watch the first couple of episodes for yourself Cato to see. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Because of the tone of it I reckon you should have a bit of time between watching it and the original (kind of like how you'd be best to watch Paul Thomas Anderson films with gaps if his style could annoy you).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TR: It's a prequel with the Dad who runs the diner as one of the main characters. The main policewoman is a character (albeit a minor one as she's a young child).</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>FOTWD (SPOILERS): Good to know that the writers of FOTWD are carrying on with the stupidity from TWD. Lets leave the city gates open as we leave, then lets let loose a horde of zombies that kill numbers of people all so we can save 3 people. I have half an hour to go in the last episode.</p> -
If it has McShane and Olyphant as Swearengen and Bullock, it'll be great!

I'll tell you when I watch it next week

<p>Show Me a Hero - David Simon's latest tv show (HBO mini series of 6 episodes). If you like The Wire, and like the socio-economic/community stuff as opposed to just the police stuff, then this show if for you.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Story is about the city of Yonkers being forced to build low income housing in wealthier (read white) areas of the city.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It stars Oscar Issac (Poe from Star Wars), Winona Ryder, Catherine Keener and a bunch of recognisable faces (Lester Freeman turns up in the later episodes).</p> -

<p>I'll have to give that a look. After a few weeks of trying different recommended shows I kept getting left with a 'it was ok, but it's no The Wire'..so I've said to hell with it and started watching the wire again and somehow have very quickly gotten to the end of season 2. For some reason I remembered season 2 as being quite weak comparatively but this being my 3rd or 4th rewatch I've not found this at all having enjoyed every episode immensely. I notice I get a genuine almost pang of remorse whenever I hear the outro music come on indicating the end of a episode..cause this means as a functioning responsible adult it is time for bed and I certainly cannot sacrifice another hour of sleep for a show I have already seen a number of times..no matter how tempting.</p> -

<p>I wouldn't get your hopes up too much.</p>
<p>While I enjoyed it, it was a lot more Treme than The Wire or Generation Kill.</p> -
<p>Finished the Man in the High Castle, quite enjoyed it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not a series that is action packed, but ticks along at a decent pace</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler]So I assume the video clips are somehow a snap shot from an alternate worlds rather than propaganda tools as it is speculated early on.<br><br>
