@bovidae ah ok, yeah I have obtained the first few eps (Eps11 onwards) but not watched.
End of S5E10 leaves you hanging (was back in Marchish I think?)...plus I see the odd post on FB and IG about the current series which made me think I should just watch it haha.

That's a danger these days - this very thread has spoiled stuff for me on occasion.
Oddly enough since I finally gave up on The Walking Dead I haven't been spoiled once about it.

@taniwharugby yeah it's good, I'm not a huge fan of supernatural type stuff like that but it gives ya good spooks and I really liked it. Plus Carla Gugino.

Acceptable Risk. Irish series kicking off with a bloke mysteriously getting murdered in Montreal and the aftermath.
Yeah, nah, definitely don't bother. Seemingly started off well and had a good premise but then got fucken worse and worse, was just hanging in there at the end to see what happened but it was painful. Pretty awful writing and acting.

Finished Haunting of Hill House.
Thought it was good, although like many series I think they struggled with the ending, sure they tied up the loose ends but it was almost like they had a checklist of what they needed to finish off.
Was some good acting and characters, particularly the kids, Katie Siegel and Victoria Pedretti were tidy.

I know I am late to the party on this one, but I have two episodes to go with Lost in Space. I fucking hate Dr Smith, to the point where I feel like ditching the show completely. The character ruins it for me.

Dark Tourist
As if we need more evidence of how fucked up the world is!!
Great series, while there were some mental sites Farrier visited (not all strictly tourist sites) reckon the Yanks with thier almost worship of Manson, Dahmer and tours on the JFK Assassination take it the fucked up tourist award...although selfies with the mummified Grandmother was on another level.

I gave 'The Fix' a go. It's a new game show hosted by Jimmy Car and 4 American comedians.
Started off well though it did feel a little scripted, by the second episode it degenerated entirely into:
Social justice good.
Orange man bad.
Open borders great.
White people bad.
...and so forthThe propaganda couldn't be any more thinly veiled.

Let's see...
The Innocent Man - Netflix doco series representation of John Grisham's only non fiction book, about some dodgy convictions in Ada, USA. Really good actually, interesting stuff.
Murder Mountain - Netflix doco series about Humboldt County and the goings on there with the rise of Cannabis production. Really good again.
The ABC Murders - Malkovich stars as Poirot. Another good watch, keeps ya guessing.
La Mante - French series on Netflix about a son being reunited with his imprisoned mother when a copycat pops up recreating her murderous rampage from 25 years earlier. Probably the best of the lot, highly recommend.
Just started Escape at Dannemora. Looking promising. Benicio del Toro stars alongside Patty Arquette.
Also been watching some Brokenwood Mysteries. It's neat eh! Or am I just being nostalgic?

Fascinating book. If even half of what he asserted was true the convictions were as dodgy as all fuck.

Also check out (the book) 'The Dreams of Ada'.

Recently watched the 6-part mini series "Waco" on the whole Branch Davidian fiasco.
Apparently based on 2 books, one from a survivor, and one from the hostage negotiator.
It's pretty sympathetic to those two parties as a result, while the tac guys are made out to be inhuman assholes.
Religious sect people are fucking demented.
Taylor Kitsch is actually really good in it.

In the last week binged watched all of the first season of Titans - the live action version of Teen Titans. Could not be more different from the cartoon. Very, very dark and violent. Lots of graphic violence and death. First half of the series was like the entire of the reboot of Lost in Space - one long extended pilot, setting everything up for the future. I thought DC's Gotham was dark, but this goes a few steps beyond that. I'll be watching the next series.
A spinoff of the introduced Doom Patrol characters is due out this year as well
