    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'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.

    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?

    I've not watched Hannibal, but it's got a decent central story through the middle of it. Can meander off into being a little arty but never too much, for me. I'm just getting into the second series and it's ace.

    Season 2 of Hannibal is brilliant.

    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.

    I liked the first series it but I am a book wanker (you should read it, it's good) so I had an advantage.

    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.

    The bit about the cardboard box getting wet is the most I've laughed at anything on TV in quite a while.

    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 watched the first two episodes this weekend and agree entirely. Can't wait for the next episode.

    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.

    I just go to whatever eztv-page is up if I want shows. Movies is another topic but I rarely torrent those anyway.

    Right now I think eztv.ag or eztv.io is working.

    I'm fairly sure I've got an invite for my backup site you can have. I'll check in an hour or so.
