I watched the first episode of season 1 of that Black Mirror last night...I was curious to what it was about after reading a few posts about it on here.I think I liked it enough to watch more episodes but I really wasn't expecting  to see...

Episode 2 was very good but I just thought Episode 3 was closer to home with the social media blackmail thing. I'll say no more but anybody who has a spare hour just watch it it still gives me shivers thinking about it!

I binged watched Black Mirror last night and tonight. Some really good episodes.  Some weird fucked up stuff which I like!
I really liked the San Junipero episode. Be Right Back is good also. I still have a few left to watch.

Nearly finished S5 Homeland.

Definitely one of the better series.

The latest season of Walking Dead is top class. Not sure if there are any Southpark fans here but I enjoy it. Credit has to go to the writers for rewriting Wednesday's episode at short notice after the US election result went the other way.

Binge watched Goliath at the weekend. A well worn formula but a great cast & overall a very good show.

Anyone else watch Trollied on Sky 1? I like it.

Thought the first one was really good but this series has too much jumping back and forward in time

Missing is great, yes a bitta bouncing about with dates but the French actor is outstanding!

Westworld took on a great twist this week
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Hugely irritating and for no good reason that contributes to the drama - only trying to be arty-farty. It's gripping, but the story could be told so much better if they concentrated on the core value of drama - i.e. tell the story and don't let the mechanics of the production intrude in and distract from the story. Any seanachaí of the last 100 years anywhere in this country could have told them that. And also could have told them that even the blackest story is improved by the occasional injection of humour.

I'm still riveted by it, though.

Watched The Grand Tour. I know it got decent reviews but I thought it dragged and was average. A lot of the jokes weren't great.

The Expanse on Netflix, a sci-fi thriller series, easy to watch and very bingeable.
