    Rahul was saved yesterday because of his previous weeks. There's absolutely no way he should've stayed, he was the worst one in every task. You could see it coming too, the way they focused on the flavours of his chocolates instead of the baking of the pastry.

    Deserved though. Bit of a shame Camp Dan didn't get similar clemency the other week. Manon has been bottom of the barrel most weeks (and is a haughty french tart) but this series seems to be marked by the shit ones managing to be not quite shit enough most weeks when it looks like they'll be at risk. Hopefully Briony keeps powering on (having been useless for pretty much the whole first half of the series).

    Manon making the complete wrong bread or whatever it was must have sealed her doom, Rahul did complete shit but it was at least shit they were asking for. Ruby's too attractive not to win this.

    He was saved purely because of what he's done in the past.

    Around this stage they always factor in past bakes.

    Is that because it's actually pretty boring once you get past the swish soundtracks?

    I really like Mike Colter, I think he's grand and there are moments of good quality in there.

    I think they fucked up moving away from Cottonmouth as the villain though.

    Colter is fine but they struggle to think of interesting ways to make him vulnerable and the fight scenes are generally a bit crap. Some good acting, solid music and the whole look of the thing is spot on but... meh.

    I'll finish season 2 but I might swerve Iron Fist 2 and just get stuck into Daredevil.

    Speaking of Daredevil, I only have 3 episodes left to go in season 3. Not quite as good as season 1 but I'm liking it more than the second. I had heard that the reviews were mixed but I can't see why other than perhaps a slightly slowish start. The fight scenes are even better at times and some episodes/moments in the run are genuinely great.

    I'm not surprised they cancelled Iron Fist, although I do think it's a shame. The second season was a big improvement and the ending was a good set up for future stories with him. I think the main issue with it was Danny Rand was nearly always the least interesting character on screen, in his own show. No disrespect to Finn Jones, like. I think he did what he could with it, and he was kind of doomed from the beginning because of all that ridiculous "they shouldn't have cast a white bloke" backlash he got on the internet.

    I'm more surprised they've binned off Luke Cage though. The second season wasn't as good as the first, and I agree with what Mahow said about it struggling for a good villain since they killed Cottonmouth off. But it had a great cast and a very strong aesthetic. The music, the look, the feel, it definitely felt like a whole package that some thought had gone into. And, again, the ending of season two set up some good stories to come.

    I wonder what the chances of them rolling the two together into some sort of Heroes for Hire series would be? You've got to imagine it's been at least explored. Their scenes together were a highlight of both The Defenders and Luke Cage season two, in my opinion. They could even roll it in with Colleen and Misty and the Daughters of the Dragon stuff.

    I would love that.

    I think that they've cancelled them so they can put it on the upcoming Disney streaming service.

    Manon's the love of my life.

    Rahul's different to all the others but he's so unlikeable

    Watching an episode of the S.W.A.T update, produced by Justin Lin.

    This episode features a good looking blonde policeman going undercover with a crew of street racers who rob trucks on mountain roads. The crew's cars are all tarted up black Civics with neon lights underneath. The crew consists of a couple of burly men, a nebbish computer wizard, and a ruthless woman who becomes a puddle on the floor when the leader makes eyes at her.

    I'm three minutes in, but I think Justin Lin might be stuck on a theme.

    Ruby>Manon.

    Think Rahul was by far the best but he's lost his nerve a bit.

    Downloaded the first season of Fringe for a mate the other day so I stuck an episode on to check the quality. I forgot just how light on its feet that first season was. It's a shame it went completely to shit in the later seasons, because that first season suggested something that might top the best things the X-Files ever did.

    I'm really not a fan of the show at all but I've seen bits of episodes over the last few years cos my wife and her family like it. This new series seems like it's realised it's a kids TV show again, which is definitely working in it's favour.

    I think it's decent so far but they seem to be making her a bit middle of the road and super earnest. Hopefully she gets a bit more to set apart to work with because I like Whittaker a lot.

    Meanwhile I gave up on Luke Cage as it's like wading through treacle and decided to swerve Iron Fist in favour of Daredevil season 3. I've watched 5 episodes in a sitting. It's just so much better than Cage Iron Fist or big chunks of the second season of Jessica Jones.

    I wholeheartedly agree with that spoiler, it was brilliant.

    Also, going back to Netflix cancellations. American Vandal is the latest which is a shame but it probably didn't have legs to go for a third season.

    Are those whispers connected to the official Netflix announcement from months ago that the upcoming season will be the last?

    That whole show will no doubt suffer the same fate as series 1 of The Thick of It.

    Assuming you mean 1 and 2?

    The Thick Of It is still outstanding without Hugh though, Spacey was kind of needed for House of Cards to be watchable the last few seasons.

    Chronology varies, Langham did 6 episodes didn't he? 3+3?

    Original House of Cards is where the real magic is.

    Series two consisted of the two lengthy 'Spinners and Losers' specials did it not?

    Maybe they mixed it about at one point but IMDB lists season 1 and 2 as the 6 episodes with Hugh, then the specials then season 3.

    I'm only 2 episodes into the final season of House of Cards but the impression I get is they should have let Spacey touch whoever he wanted and ignored the fallout.

    Started watching Bosch, the Amazon thing, and it's very good. You can tell it's based on a series of novels.

    The main takeaway is that nobody says the word 'detective' better than Lance Reddick, and as a result he should play every police authority figure on television.

    It's brilliant.

    It's surreal when the footage first changes to colour, given what you're used to seeing in terms of WW1 video.
