I think there may be a few Grimes films, plus one at least one spinoff series of Daryl and Carol running about getting into scrapes which makes every episode where they're in danger all the less tense.

So many crappy moments. Glen 'dying' only to impossibly escape. Red shirts like the only doctor randomly going on patrol and spouting exposition about themselves just before they die. Negan pepped it up a bit but I got bored around there.
The show never showing any possibility for return to civilisation / a cure / even an explanation about what happened, means that there's nowhere for them to go other than to keep moving, meeting new groups, getting a few members killed off while picking up a few new good eggs, and then rinsing and repeating. I'd love to know if the writers have an ending planned.
The hyper-competent folk like Daryl accidentally getting themselves into sticky situations was always hard to believe too.
I can't remember when I gave up. I used to watch it every Monday on my second monitor while working from home. Then one week I missed it because I had a busy day, and before I knew it, I'd missed almost the entire season. And I didn't have it in me to catch up.
Setting something in a zombie apocalypse World only to major on 'are humans the real monsters' is so unbelievably lame. Yes they are, but we know this. Do something else.
"Oh no! The zombies are civilising. That means we must kill them harder. Let's not explore the possibility of reconciliation."
It should end by revealing that only the US was affected and there's a giant wall at the border pinning everything in. Cut to Rick Grimes on the Champs Elysees sipping a coffee with that weird dump woman, little wink to camera and ooh la la
I'm still not entirely sure it isn't all a fever dream from a comatose Rick in his hospital bed.
There was a brief section early on when they started on some explanation of how it came about which had a guy (who I always think is Biff from BTTF but isn't) as a scientist in a bunker, and then he blew himself up.
Just had a look and saw that the viewing figures thesedays are 87% lower than their peak. How is it still going?
It is annoying but on the flipside I'm kind of at the point now where if something ends while it was still good I'll take that as a positive.
They "might" revisit it in the future, apparently. A real shame, it was one of the best things I've watched in years.
Yep. Top 10 series for me. Baffles me why it didn't go viral considering how much the masses love true crime stuff at the moment.
Fuck me, I had no idea that a film is planned
The second season of Mindhunter was like a different program to the first. It was still good, but I much preferred the first season.
Re: Mindhunter
Watching shows before they have fully been completed has become such a fucking waste of time. Like watching only the first thirty minutes of a movie and then it just ending abruptly.
Bang on. I more or less stopped watching anything that hasn’t already been wrapped up years ago now.
Yeah, it's the reason I fell off Mad Men. Watching it there and then meant losing interest between seasons. If I had the whole set with me, I'd have watched the lot.
I stopped watching unfinished stuff after Jericho and Flash Forward wasted my time, but I had MindHunter recommended to me by a mate at work and didn't know.
Mindhunter is hardly plot-driven so it really matters not if it's 'complete' or not. It's just all about appreciating the cars, my man's swagger and Lofty's acting ability
I have been copping the Kemper nickname recently
I've no TV for at least five days. I don't really watch it but knowing I can't has made me want to watch it. No idea how @Disco copes.
I'm a twit
Surely you have some sort of internet connected device with a screen?
I'm sure they addressed what the scientist told him at some point where Rick revealed everyone already had the zombie disease and they were the real walking dead or somethng equally clunky.
For anyone who has watched The Jinx.
An update of sorts: http://news.sky.com/story/real-estat...riend-12434065
He looks like he died some time ago and they've just propped him up in his wheelchair.
Well, the plot has thickened. I think it's all part of a cunning escape plan.

I've watched Manhunt: The Night Stalker with Martin Clunes in it over the last few days. Didn't realise it was a second series and there was one for the Levi Bellfield case as well because it was actually the same copper who was involved in catching him too. Might need to go back and watch that one too. Martin Clunes is very watchable.
Yeah, I quite liked that and had the same realisation as you. Also planning to go back and watch the first series at some point.
I like that there's very little of the actual crimes. They don't try and play off the unpleasant thrill of watching extended scenes of little old ladies getting monstered. I think there's only one attack you actually see and it's very restrained how they do it. It's all about the police and the hunt.
Clunes is properly good. I'd watch anything with him in and enjoyed both series of Manhunt.
I remember the real Colin Sutton being a bit of a Met legend circa the late 2000s. Used to get put on everything tricky.
I've no idea how much the Clunes portrayal reflects the real man but as a protagonist in a police drama he's very refreshing. Other than the mega-dedication he doesn't have many of the usual tropes. (i.e. being a dickhead loner with all sorts of hang-ups and personality issues.)
Started watching Acapulco on Apple TV+. Not only is it pleasant, but @Luca is excellent.
Those were the days.
Aye Manhunt was good. I googled the actual Colin Sutton after watching it and he must be chuffed with the glow-up they gave him.
Avoided Midnight Mass when it came out due to the hype train, then saw a lot of people moaning about the lengthy monologues. I see their point but thoroughly enjoying it so far.
The Chestnut Man is some good Scandi noir.
It's on the list. How many episodes are we looking at?
