Die Hard must surely be next.
Has anybody watched that new 24: Legacy? I assume its terrible. Without Jack Bauer it doesn't really have much to offer. I'm not sure how the new Prison Break will turn out. Obviously the story is bound to be a bit ridiculous, but I don't have a problem with that as long as its entertaining.

"I've been disappointing various people around the world because it was meant to come out in April. It's July now, I think," Liam Cunningham told The Independent.
It must be seriously difficult getting that ensemble cast together.
I'm sure I read about 6 months ago that it wasn't coming out until July. I remember having a good seethe about it.
It's been known that it's likely to be later than normal for a while.
Broadchurch is back.
Catastrophe is back. @Magic.
Haven't actually seen it yet either.
Fincher. Serial Killers. Netflix.
Give it me now.
Netflix though.

Anyone watched the New Edition tv show? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5574940/
I'm a twit
They've made a tv show of Zombieland.
Has anybody watched Gomorrah? I've almost polished off the first season in the last week or so. It's really good.
Into season six of Entourage now. It's become pretty predictable now, but enjoyable enough for the decent totty on offer (Jamie-Lyn Sigler in the bath )
Decided to start on Santa Clarita Diet as I had heard good things about it.
Christ it's terrible.
The way they're unveiling the Game of Thrones season 7 release date is a shambles.
On the producers but more so on the people getting involved.
They've put up a live Facebook video with the date in a giant ice block and people have to type fire, when they get X amount they blast the block with a flamethrower.
I saw it in my feed and people are actually getting involved.
Iron Fist is taking a bit of a pasting.
Defenders mate.
Though saying that even that's going to be shite.
The Great British Bake Off's new line-up has been announced: Paul Hollywood with Prue Leith, Sandi Toksvig and Noel Fielding.
Crikey.
I knew that Prue would get it.
Sandi and Noel though? Fucking hell, especially Noel?
He'll wear a kaftan based on the previous week's showstopper.
Has anyone seen Designated Survivor? I'm half way through the first episode and it looks ruddy brilliant.
I've heard good things about it.
Based on the first two episodes I think they're being overly harsh. It hasn't started as brightly as the others and Ser Loras is the weakest title actor across the shows but it works well and I think they've created a nice foundation upon which to build the rest of the episodes.
10 episodes into Iron Fist and I'm still really enjoying it but I have two big criticisms.

I am still really enjoying it though but it is the worst of the Netflix series.
For me it's:
Jessica Jones and Daredevil pretty much tied then Cage and then Iron Fist.
Latest episode of The Flash was complete horse bollocks.
It provided absolutely nothing in terms of story.
Whoever thought that it would be a good idea to step away from the storyline to provide a 45 minute musical crossover with Supergirl is a massive cunt.
Just recently started watching Iron Fist. There's parts of it that are cringeworthy (random homeless guy with an iPhone, blatantly obvious BAD GUY characters). It's also not clear why he's actually come back and he seems to oscillate between being a hippy and not caring about money to trying to take down the rich twats and get "his" company back.
It's kinda watchable though and the Asian bird in it is phenomenal.
I was stunned to find out that she was one of the awful Sand Snakes though.

Louis CK is doing a couple of stand up shows for Netflix with the first being released on the 4th of April
Grand news. I've been watching/rewatching a lot of his stuff recently. This chat thing - https://youtube.com/watch?v=OKY6BGcx37k - is good if you haven't seen it.
I've only watched the first four episodes of Iron Fist, but I've quite enjoyed it so far. I suppose the action sequences might be a little lacking. They're not as hard-hitting as Daredevil or Luke Cage, but I think that's sort of the point. Iron Fist isn't an out an out brawler, he's supposed to be some sort of martial arts demigod. He's not meant to go about caving peoples skulls in.
I feel bad for Finn Jones because I think he's doing a perfectly good job, yet somehow he seems to have been caught up in one of the more baseless internet backlashes in recently memory with this "Danny Rand absolutely should have been played by an Asian guy" bullshit.
If they had chosen to cast an Asian guy as Danny Rand then fine, nobody would have taken issue with that. In much the same way Idris Elba would be a fine and totally acceptable choice to play James Bond, were that to happen. And by the same merit is a totally great choice to play Roland in the Dark Tower film, come to think of it. But to chastise the entire production for casting a white guy to play the part of a character who actually is white in literally ALL of the source material is beyond ridiculous.
If people are actually saying that because he knows Kung-Fu an Asian bloke should have been cast on general principle then surely that's backwards on an entirely other level? I don't even know. But it seems to have gathered a ridiculous amount of steam online, and detracted from the appreciation of the actual show itself.
Review remains absolutely wonderful, but the final 'season' being three episodes long is a bit of a finger in the eye.
I was away to post that it started again but I didn't realise it'd be as short as three episodes.
Watching Peep Show on GOLD. So good. I don't think I'll ever tire of it.
Super Hans is too funny sometimes.
I'm a twit
I've got to go back and re watch that. I think I'll have a greater appreciation for it as a failing 28 year old man than I did as a hopeful 20 year old.
It's probably just too depressing to watch now.
They haven't actually announced how many episodes are in this run, I don't think, but the third part of next week's episode title is 'Last Review' and there had been rumours floating around for a while that it would be a severely truncated order, so next week's is probably the last. Shame, as when it's on form I don't think there's a current comedy that even comes close in terms of proper, explosive laughter. Twenty odd episodes in they can still surprise me with the direction some of the reviews take, which is a minor miracle in itself.

Masterchef: The Amateurs starts at 8pm
Best show on't telly.
Good man DS. I'd seen an ad last week but completely forgot.
Just finished with the first episode of the new series of Line of Duty. Best drama the BBC have made in years.
Took a bit of a break from Legion as I felt that the second and fourth episodes were a little weak.
Decided to watch the fifth just now and it's easily the best of the series, they really took a giant leap with this episode and I'm glad that I wont have to wait for another episode.
I put the brakes on with Legion after the second ep because the strangeness of it all and the way clues as to what was actually going on kept stacking up made it an obvious binge candidate. It finished last night so I've jumped back in tonight.
I couldn't disagree more strongly with the above appraisal that the fourth episode was weak. It was absolutely crackers, but it looped around to make a twisted sort of sense by the end and actually advanced things more than any other episode, including the pilot.
The fifth episode was basically a horror film, and a very good one too.
Apparently Noah Hawley was simultaneously writing and filming this, writing the third season of Fargo, and writing a novel while adapting it into a screenplay. The man must sleep about an hour and a half a week.
Watched 9 episodes of Iron Fist so far.

Anyone watched Ascension? It starts slow but then goes in some bonkers directions. Very watchable stuff
Got all excited as I saw that Rick and Morty was back but I've just seen that Adult Swim aired it for April Fool's Day (and kept replaying it for hours, COMEDY) but the actual season doesn't start until the Summer.
