    So... Don't watch it?

    What about narcos or whatever is called that I see it mentioned a lot in Facebook?

    Narcos is decent, but the narration is really grating on me. I stopped after 5 eps and haven't picked it up again yet.

    Saw the first episode, it promises.
    Some mistakes that most don't notice. Pablo Escobar is played by a Brazilian who many times speak Portuguese. Also not even enough violence like what happened.
    Also very soft on the Americans.

    Still promising.

    It's darker and the comedic sensibility on show is completely different, but it's absolutely brilliant.

    Never heard of it. Might take a look.

    Revolution is becoming properly bollocks as season 2 progresses rather than the stupid fun it was before.

    It's this animated comedy. It's a little Bobs Burgers in style, but more akin to Family Guy or something like that in humour. Although I find it a bit more intelligent somehow.

    I can sort of see how it wouldn't appeal to some people, although I don't respect those people very much.
    To me it's amongst the funniest things I've seen in a long time, genuine LOL-moments every episode.

    I watched an episode of some bibble called 'Zoo' on Netflix earlier. The premise seemed quite fun, animals begin attacking people in unusual fashion all over the world and THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAVE US is a weedy scientist bloke with a dad who predicted it twenty years ago and was deemed to be mental. All your favourite cliches in one place.

    About ten minutes in I was treated to the sight of a black rhino which represented the worst piece of CGI I've seen since the flaming moose in Knowing being scared out of a hunter's crosshairs by a boombox blasting James Brown.

    I shan't be watching any more.

    The Leftovers is back tonight.

    Sounds horrific.

    The Mrs has shown an interest in Mr Robot, so I'm just about to rewatch the three episodes I've seen so far. Anyone else seen it?

    Really gonna be glad when it's finished. The scene at the dinner table, as intense as it was, dragged on for way too long. Shane Meadows does my head in.

    It finished last night? Really enjoyed the first episode but the rest of them haven't been up to much. Not a path on '88.

    Pretty strange that Shane Meadows does your head in yet you've sat through all these different sequels.

    Not just upto me what's on the tele these days.

    And oh yeah. It's recorded. Might sit through it after tea.

    As for Meadows, I do like a few of his films. Twenty Four Seven's awesome.

    Yeah, right? What the fuck I can't fucking wait like a year until the next season. When is it due?

    This is the most I've been anticipating a new season of a show since... ever, I think. More than True Detective s2, definitely more than any GoT season... Fucking hell.

    Just been watching Heroes Reborn and the side show of Dark Matters. Pretty good, liking what I see so far.

    Homeland is back on, so will back on that band wagon again.

    I saw that that was starting its 5th season, which quite impressed me given that it had all but spunked its load by the end of the second one.

    Just watched episode 4 of The Bastard Executioner and I'm gonna leave it there. It's just boring.

    Oh and I've got Leftovers series linked even though I didn't like the first season, so I might join in a bit. Not watched it yet though.

    Finished Revolution. Season 2 wasn't very good. I can see why it was cancelled. It didn't really wrap itself up either which is annoying. I read about 'Under the Dome' the other day and thought that sounded interesting but I see it was cancelled after three seasons so I probably won't bother with that.

    I've just stuck the first episode of The League on on Netflix, having seen people talking it up in here. I've had two chuckles in the early going and it seems like good background viewing, but I'm not sure I can put up with the gap in Paul Scheer's teeth as an ongoing image on my television. It's bigger than Brianna Barksdale's.

    I watched some of Under The Dome when it first kicked off, largely because Hank off Breaking Bad was in it, and it was seriously shite. Not the brain-off fun type of shite either, properly abysmal. There were a couple of young actors in it who I'm genuinely astonished were getting work. One in particular, a boy of about fifteen, had the emotional range of a cup-a-soup.

    Anyone seen Continuum? It's just started its last season so at least they know it's ending.

    I watched the first season of Continuum. It had quite a nice time loop thing going on and the casting director deserved every award going for that year for the actor he/she found to play the 'older' version of one character, but it's basically bobbins. I reckon it's right up your street, as long as you don't go into it expecting The Wire.

    Have a look at Falling Skies, Boyd. The 'Skitters' lols alone should see you through about fifty episodes.

    I've started watching Seinfeld at long last. It is good but the stand up bits in between are pretty relentlessly shit, I usually just skip through them now.
