They used Elegiac by New Order in last nights ep Halfway through and its my fave series of the year so far

Love that track but I always thought the intro was a bit close to Tubular Bells, always made me kinda go hmmmmm....

anyone else been watching ROADIES?

cameron crowe going back to what cameron crowe does best. think almost famous crossed with singles, but in a 10-part tv show. absolutely LOVE it. episode 4 was a particular favourite, and this weeks episode had me like

just hope they get a second season.

also, HALT AND CATCH FIRE started back yesterday. got it queued up to watch tonight.

finally, a curveball. THE ERIC ANDRE SHOW. this show gets better and better each season. the current one is a full-on descent into madness. and i'm loving every minute of it!

Looks like something Neil would like. My partner was a roadie at one time.



I haven't seen a time travel show in awhile. whether it's good remains to be seen. it won't last more than a season anyways.



Hopefully it is as good as last season.

Looks interesting.

Go watch Continuum. It was great.

I did. Kinda lost interest in the first season. maybe I should have given more of a chance.

I think it looks stupid, but watchable.

Id stick with it.
Its mostly interesting to me as it gets more and more morally grey. There is some faffing about later where some things get a bit too complex, and some plots go on too long, but the main story holds up pretty well. The development of the protagonist is particularly strong.

More trailers;

Dirk Gently


Not sure. Not convinced with the casting of Dirk there. But I'll give it a shot.
I did love the earlier BBC one.

Legion


Looks much more interesting then expected. I heard Fox was doing a x-men franchise tv show, but this seems to be placing itself well outside both the "fun and crazy" (supergirl/flash) and the "gritty/realistic" (daredevil/jessica jones) things the other superhero shows have settled into. Which is great.

BrainDead S01E01-2 - This is weird. How to describe. Its current US politics, I would say mad, but its basically all real, but then with a sci-fi twist/conspiracy/zombie thing. But its all done rather low key.
Umm...oh, and, Jonathan Coulton does a recap song every episode.
Did I mention its weird?

Stan Lee's Luckyman S01E01 - More standard but I'll give it longer. Gambling addicted policeman gets weird luck powers? Comic book legend Stan Lee had some involvement. (I suspect passing over one post it note of a idea then claiming a pay check)
Its not bad as such, but its slow paced and a lot of the sub-ploting seems unnesscery.
Also stupid cliffhanger at end of episode1.
On the positives the main actor is from Jekyll (which is a must see 6-episode miniseries), and the cinematography is nice.

Great British Bake Off is one of those things that I've never seen but that constantly filled up my social network feeds. Nonetheless I'm quite surprised that it's moving to Channel 4 and even more surprised that it was hosted all along my Mel & Sue off of the 90s O_O

Mel and Sue have quit. Mary Berry is considering retiring and Paul Hollywood is not talking about staying on.

So Channel 4 paid £75 million for a tent and some ovens.

Surely you'd buy it ONLY with the presenters attached ? I did like their resignation letter, I bet their public personas have rocketed even further skywards.
