If you wanted to scratch that deep I imagine they'll just go with either:
A) it's the world of the future, humans have been killed off.
B) it's one of an endless number of worlds that splintered off from our world when X event happened.

It's like an evil mirrored dimension.
Perhaps we'll learn more about its true nature in the next season though.
I watched them a few weeks ago but I very much enjoyed The Expanse. The third series goes a bit mad (no self respecting captain drives his huge ship into a completely unknown space doohickey for instance) and I was never able to take the terrifying leader of the belter separatists seriously because they called him Fred Johnson, a name to strike fear across the solar system.
Other than that, very good.
I think I might like Doom Patrol more than Titans.
Tudyk as the main antagonist is great as is Diane Guerrero as Crazy Jane.
Late but I've done the first five episodes of Killing Eve the last few days. It really is brilliant, so original and well written. Just when you think it's taken a wrong/weird turn it bites back every time.
The first season of that was written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, of Fleabag fame. She must be one of the best writers working at the moment.
Let's wait to see whether she turns James Bond gay first.
She won't turn him gay, but she might turn him into a useless twat, as most of the men in her (very good) writing are.
The priest in Fleabag was a cunt and nobody seemed to realise it, so that was something.
Am I the only one who thought season 3 of Stranger Things was a bit crap then? Very disappointed.
I did lol at Mahow saying 2 of the episodes were the best they've ever done, I could barely give a shit by the end.
Season 2 dipped but was still good, this has completely lost the magic of season 1 though.

Two episodes left of Stranger Things 3 and it's staggering how derivative of itself it is.
Five episodes into The Boys and as well realised as I could have ever hoped. The news that Sandman has been snapped up by Netflix is also grand news. Along with Preacher, it’s the kind of fare that suits the long format.
That's Stranger Things 3 done.
It was good, perhaps even very good compared to most tv, but it's probably the most rehashed thing from a previous series of the same show I've ever seen. I was going to call it a lazy rehash, but that would be unfair as there's clearly a shit load of effort been put into it, it's structure is just unbelievably similar to season 2.
I've not started this yet because I wanted to get Good Omens out of the way but I didn't realise it was happening until last Tuesday or something.
Weirdly despite it having a cast I liked and having enjoyed the comics I couldn't get into the Preacher TV series so hopefully I'll get on better with The Boys.
I enjoyed it. It wasn't as good as season 1, but I preferred it to season 2.
It does feel very formulaic now though.
The first episode of Brooklyn Nine Nine is on and it's strange seeing it back in comparison to later episodes. I also never copped that all the shots in the titles came from this episode too.
I got round to watching 8 Days: To The Moon And Back on iPlayer and it's really well done.
The new season of The Terror starts tonight, but the first episode was put out online and early reviews are very good.
Nice. I forgot about that. Sucession is back today too, I think.
I've started a rewatch of The Sopranos. I forgot how perfect the opening credits are. I mean, the whole show is pretty much perfect. But that aspect of it had escaped me completely.
I'm mid-way through a slow re-watch at the minute, and I've changed my 'irredeemable cunts' opinion a bit now I know how everyone develops/ends up and can notice the subtle character changes (catastrophic weight gain) better. I've also got a new entry for most under-viewed YouTube video (especially since half of those are me).
Season 2 of Mindhunter is great.
Finally finished off season 3 of The Handmaid’s Tale.
It was a slog.
I'm a twit
Same, finishing off Orange is the new black then Mindhunter Season 2 is up next. Loved the first season.
Rewatching Fringe, which is an old all-time favourite. For what it is, it's still aged decently I think.
Of course it's one of those shows where you shouldn't look for an ounce of logic, but the premise is "Science!" so you kind of do anyway and it sort of annoys you at time. But still, it's still an amazing show to me (though not sure I'm so on board with the last season, or every was, at least how that was executed).
Really shit the bed after the first season though.
How do you mean?
It’s pretty good all the way to the last season, and then it’s diabolically bad.

Yeah you can really tell that they weren't sure whether that season was going to get made. They should have just squeezed in one or two more episodes in the fourth season to conclude the whole Observer storyline as well.

Still got plenty to catch up on in the form of Dark, Mindhunter and The Vietnam War.
If you haven't already, watch The Day Mountbatten Died.
I fully Yevraged on the old board about Fringe towards the end of season three and into four. It went right to shit.
Just finished season two of Mindhunter. Absolutely outstanding stuff, much better than season one for me.
I've got 2 episodes left which will be finished tonight.
Ah right, I thought you meant shit the bed as in it was scary and I was like wtf
I never loved the "alternates" section other than that they had funny names for them (and only John Noble, perhaps unsurprisingly, manages to pull the different characters off in a meaningful way). It all gets a little silly at times, and they faff around with timelines too much. It gets better again when they close the "bridge" I seem to recall.
Still, I always thought it sort of held up overall until the end of the 4th season, which should have just been the end. The 5th one is a bit of a joke IMO, even if I thought the last episode was quite emotional still.
As soon as they transported to that alternate dimension it went from one of the best shows on tv to the literal worst.
I hope it can live up to the rest of Aaron Paul's movie career.
Why in God's name are they doing that?
If that's the sole reason then they might as well put Cranston back in it and make it actually good.
I thought Better Call Saul was gonna be a money grabbing spin off and it’s better than Breaking Bad so I’ll give it a shot.
Another vote for thinking Better Call Saul is better than the amazing Breaking Bad.
I’m just putting on season two of Mindhunter. So hyped!
Better Call Saul was good to a point, but most of the stuff with his brother was tedious beyond belief.
Well, you're completely wrong.
