GoT starting to diverge too much from the books for my liking.

They've created that many different character routes, it's beginning to frustrate. Any idea how many more seasons there'll be? I've never read the books and dont plan to at this stage.

getting frustrating surely, its hopping all over the shop without that much happening. There's only a few left of the current season. With so much to cover, they'd need 20 episodes per season. Its nice seeing alot of the local coastal scenery of late

Bingo

As far as I gather the TV series has diverted somewhat from the books, mainly due to the writing of the books been behind but the show writers and book writer know the end game and are still working to get there.

The series has been slower than previous years, probably due to the ending of the last and the closure it took to a lot of the plotlines and so many big characters getting the deadner! In hindsight, the first 5 seasons built up to the end of season 5 - the end of the war of the 7 kingdoms. It is now simmering along again and I think it is all building up to the very end over the remaining 3 or 4 seasons.

It hasn't had the shock moments of other seasons so far, was a couple of times last night when you where waiting for a twist or a kill but it never happened.

Its still intriguing though in a different way.

Never a fan when books are based on a TV show, always a let down. Should have just left GOT as a TV show...

Just finished the first two series of Modern Family, didn't think it was something I'd enjoy but have been pleasantly surprised!
That was never a square ball!!

It's a brilliant comedy. Dips for a bit around S4 but picks up again.

HD cinema app down!  :-\ :'(

I thought it was just something wrong with my connection last night, hopefully it is only a temporary issue.

Showbox is still grand. There's a way round the requirement for MX Player. Download an app from the web (not the Play Store) called Grow Box. This tricks Show Box into thinking it's MX Player and then asked you to open with whatever app you prefer, including casting apps.

Been watching The Affair on Sky.. seems decent enough so far, good plot (not just the obvious one) but I'm getting the odd glance/stare from the missus !!! not recommended if youve been a naughty boy
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Aye, I used Showbox instead and streamed it through Allcast.

Good man I will give that a whirl, as I showbox hasn't worked for me as of yet

Halfwayish through Gotham. Tempted to bluebutton it . Seems to be really going nowhere tbh and I see there is close on 20 episodes in it.

Might give Sons of Anarchy another go after the carcrash that was S4 set alot in "Ireland".

I watched the rest of SOA after that series but have no idea what the hell was going on or happening - it seemed like the same story being recycled over and over
