Brooklyn Nine Nine and New Girl crossovers. Dafuq?
@phonics - are you still watching Orphan Black?
This season's been a bit disappointing.
Not sure if I can ask this, or maybe it's ok if answers are by PM, but what's the craic now with Torrents? I have been making do with Netflix for months now and haven't tried to download anything, but I'm travelling most of the week and seeing as Netflix doesn't let you download for offline I went to try get some TV tonight for flights, etc. Couldn't get Torrentz, PB, KAT, etc to load at all. So what are people using these days or is it game over as regards that?
Pirate Bay isn't Pirate Bay any more. KickassTorrents got raided by the Polish FBI. Torrentz shut down because they're somehow linked to KAT.
For TV I use eztv but there's rumours that that site has been over-taken by scammers. I genuinely have no idea where to go anymore. RIP my private torrent membership.
Shit. A flight of stickman golf it is so.
Private torrent sites are the way to go.
BTN and PTP are amazing.
Complete life savers. Owe DS for those invitations.
Invitations seem harder to come by now, think they clamped down a lot on the availability a while back.
BTN has regular auctions but they're pretty damn expensive on bonus points but I was able to get one the other week.
PTP is at the max user limit or close to it I think.
Is BTN the one where you can buy an invite for 40 dollars? If it was reliable and that was the final cost then I'd go for it.
BTN is very good.
Thank you, Mahow.
No, they have auctions for current members who can pay bonus points. Can't use real money to get in.
Piratebay still seems fine for me - always has everything I am looking for.
Started on Stranger Things today by watching the first two episodes.
It's bloody brilliant thus far, I love it.
Bojack Horseman is amazing.
Are public torrents dead then? Genuinely not angling for an invite or anything, I'm just curious.
Use a Torrent site search engine, or scraper, and you're good to go as long as you know the difference between real and fake, virus loaded releases. Toorgle is a personal favourite for when I have to use public, but it links you to the actual sites so if you don't have a VPN or a workable proxy ( proxybunker) you're fucked.
I'll keep that in mind if I ever need to acquire a digital copy of media I already own legitimately.
Soon will come the day when we prefix all our posts with SWIM.
VPN's never work properly. I think I'll just wait for Netflix to get round to offline stuff.

Sky can get fucked for their selective blocking though.
Pity that Zen ISP is so pricey. They don't block anything.

Finished it, I absolutely loved it.
Cannot wait until the next season.
I've not seen many of the Netflix original shows but this one is the best that I've seen.
Might give that a try, the ratings are really high.
I've resumed House, only on S1 E14 but so far it's consistently amusing and interesting. I like the American format of a different storyline each episode.
I watched all of Stranger Things in a day. So so good.
Not good that I slightly resemble the character Mike though.

It's great until Season 5. It goes downhill quite a bit at that point, but it's still watchable.
4/8 in to Stranger Things, and it's pretty freaking good.
I like that it sort of feels like Freaks and Geeks in parts. The sister could be less of a stereotype though.
The kid with the cap is the best.
I stopped watching it around then for a few months then eventually got back into it and stopped again with about 6 episodes left to go of the whole thing. The fact I keep getting told the ending is pants doesn't help.
The trouble with shows with that format is it's easy to just stop half way and never get back round to it.
I watched through Stranger Things recently and was actually a tad disappointed. It was fairly good, but I think I'd worked up too high expectations. Some of the series felt a little rushed to me, like they should have taken another episode or two to establish the universe a little better.

Apart from that fairly minor nuissance, I thought the Kid actors all did stellar jobs, as well as the guy playing the Cop.
The White haired baddie was a bit of a cliché and not very interesting, and Winona Ryders character was downright annoying and I don't quite understand the praise she's gotten for it.
Agree that the toothless kid is the absolute star of the show.
I liked it for the reason you didn't like it. Too many shows have cringeworthy scenes of dialogue where they go over what's happening and why completely for the benefit of the viewer.
I thought it was OK, I liked it visually and the music was incredible, but I just felt it was a bit too supernatural for me.
Fair enough. I do get what you mean with that, that sort of thing can easily also get very annoying - like when they try to be too matter-of-factly about something that's not very factly in the first place. But I reckon you can either find a nice middle ground (Stranger things was a bit too far from that for me) or frame it within the concept of the series (like Fringe or X-files).
Just started watching Stranger Things, and the first two episodes have me hooked. I just want to watch it straight through as quickly as possible.
I started it last night and finished it an hour ago. Even the mood from the opening credits is spot on.
I started on The Night Of before. Three episodes in and enjoying it. No idea where it's gonna go either.

Four episodes into Stranger Things, and it's all starting to hit the fan.
The first-half setup has been so good, I just hope they can stick the landing. If they can, then this winds up right up near the top of my list.
We started this today, and we've watched the entire season. Just got the finale left. I hope it doesn't disappoint, it's been very good until now. Although the first episode was miles better than everything since then.
Has it finished now?
I didn't want to start it until it was all out.
Yeah the finale was last night.
Just finished The League. It was pretty good to start, went through a serious lull where I considered just canning it but came back pretty well. Might re-watch through it at some point in the future.
Anyone else bothered?
Yeah, I loved all of it.
The Coopers vs the Rest is quite possibly the worst pilot comedy I've ever seen. SHITE.
I've two episodes left of The Night Of.
Getting more unrealistic the more it goes on, but it's still good.

Worse than Heil Honey, I'm Home?
It was quite good. Veered a bit too close to sappy in the end and the young girl's so professional an actor that it's creepy, like those Outnumbered kids.
That about Stranger Things, Wullie? The young girl in that is stupidly good.

No, the Coopers thing last night that Magic hated.
Someone sell me Marcella.
Just finished the series and it's an absolute riot. Best thing I've seen on British TV in a while.
You must have missed Happy Valley.
There's the next show sorted.
