I think had it been the usual 20-odd episode seasons I might have tired but I thought 13 and with the developments later in the season it was spot on.
And the ending of season 1 is superb.
I don't know whether to try watch it now or just look up what happened.
Anyone catch The Looming Tower last night? Shaky start considering the plot & cast.
I've been meaning to. The book is brilliant and definitely worth a read, fwiw.
Warrior, written by Bruce Lee at a time when TV didn't have the budget to make it, is brilliant.
I watched The Looming Tower on Amazon a while back. I thought it was pretty good.
Yeah, I remember thinking it was alright when I watched it.
So I just watched, and liked, the first episode of American Gods. But does it go the way of Hannibal and become too interested in the cleverness of it's artsy sequences or is it actually good?
Season two struck the right balance between actually telling a story and just using the idea of a nutjob as an excuse to put imaginative corpses on screen, and was very good as a result. Season one was just a complete shambles from a writing perspective, and three was basically a Bekzinski exhibit.
Yeah, I liked the book. Though I read it a long time ago.
It's quite difficult to escape Stephen Graham at the minute.
Watching Taskmaster now and Paul Sinha is already annoying the fuck out of me.
Line of Duty is immense.
Who needs Halloween?
Cinqo de mayo heist
That was quality. I knew they'd find a way to get the tradition in even though they wouldn't get an episode out at the usual time, but it was very well done.
Indeed, it was on fucking top form.
The bit about the cardboard box getting wet is the most I've laughed at anything on TV in quite a while.
Chernobyl is absolutely excellent. Terrifying and heartbreaking, but excellent.
I imagine it to be grim as shit but probably worth watching.
The awkwardness from Joe Thomas upon meeting Sian before their group task was incredible.
Was funny wasn't it.
Last night I finished off season 7 (four episodes) and watched the first two of season 8.
Iain Sterling is so enthusiastic, which works really well. Seems like a decent lineup but I'm really not feeling Paul Sinha. Why the fuck isn't he dressed?

I hated him in the first episode but he came across a lot better in the second I felt.
Alex said that his lack of common sense across the season is staggering.
I'm simultaneously keen to watch Chernobyl due to the anticipated high production quality and absolutely non-plussed about it as I know the history fairly well and it doesn't seem too exciting, but might need to give it a go based on those impressions.
I've been binging on The Expanse. If you can get past some of the Sci Fi tropes and the annoying accents it's bloody good viewing. Close to the end of Season 3 and very glad to know already that it's coming back for Season 4 soon.
Yeah, Chernobyl is shit hot. It's a fucking tough watch though. I've just watched the first and feel like I need to lie down in a dark room for a few days.

How are you gents watching it?
Torrents?
Sounds like I need to watch it.
I'm a twit
It should be a priority.
What public torrent sites are there these days? I was on a private tv one a while back DS recommended but they suspended me for inactivity and there's never anyone in their irc chat to get the begging bowl out for.
There are still a lot of piratebay proxy sites available.
Thanks gents.
Mahow invited me to BTN and it’s the best thing anyone on here has ever done for me.
I'm a twit
Yeah, that's the one I'm suspended from. Grrr.
I have three invites but the fuckers have upped the user level required to use them from the one below me the one above.
Sorry Yev. I'll invite you when I can.
No probs, cheers John.
