Must also recommend the documentary "Wild Wild Country" about a controversial Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and the community city he tried to build in Oregon in the 80s. So well done with the intercuts across the decades of video from 1981 to present day and getting a lot of the main protagonists from both sides to speak both then and now really enriches the story. I love the extremism from both sides, the small town of Antelope with population 50 or so, all old christian republicans saying the incoming newbies are devils and evil and the commune boss saying this was a city that would show the "universe" hows it done !!

Wahey Legion is back.

Without doubt my fave media sequence of last year and that includes games, films and TV (Some of Twin Peaks came a close second)



The subtitling was absolutely inspired and I LOVE LOVE LOVE



HER.

Plenty of time to mess it up yet but at last it's in the Victorian/Edwardian era this time..

The War of the Worlds

[WiteWulf]

Yup, watched S02E01 of Legion this morning. It's starting exactly as it means to go on. Probably my favourite TV show of last year and thoroughly looking forward to seeing where it goes this year.

It's the beeb, so I always have faith...

Wahey Legion is back..

I still haven't seen season 1, meaning too...I've bookmark it.....

I'm really enjoying The Terror and Mr Mercedes







Hopefully this will be good...

I know I am late to the party so please be very careful with any comments (as I am only 5 eps into the 10 ep series) but I have to say Making a Murderer on Netflix is probably the best documentary I have ever seen, crime or otherwise. Gripping, raw, sad and poignant all at once and with some real-life villains. One of the lawyers so reminds me of Steve Jobs but they are both brilliant and I never realised the sort of media circus the US can have with certain cases.

Aye curumba its a golden spell at the mo - Watching Legion, Preacher and Westworld - glory days and nice to see 3 eps into new season of Legion its as weird as usual -



Love the music.

[TFO]

Anyone else seen the end of Westworld Series 2 yet? In particular the Post-Credit scene?

Spoiler: show

So, is humankind dead and William the last human? Or is William a Robot and we've been living his programme / dream all along? Or what? Just fffffffffffuuuuuu

[Deckard]

Nope managed to avoid all spoilers as thats next to watch after Legion

Tried to resist it but it is just so class - The Good Place on Netflix - just finished season 1 and its brilliantly funny for a show about Heaven and someone who shouldn't be there - the audio clip of the "other place" was so south park

Must recommend Future Man - doing for Terminator / Time travel scifi what galaxy quest and Orville did for trek and yes what a way to welcome a time traveller into your bedroom !! Half way through series 1 and we have already had gags about Cosby / date rape drugs, a brilliant brilliant take on Marty playing guitar from Back to the future and the Black Apple and BlackTop are inspired too... Loved the filter when they dropped back to the moon landings too... in fact too many to mention. Hey fuck me look is that really the Sixth Sense guy ?

Love, love, love the good place. Only watched really because of the crush I had on Veronica Mars. It’s quite refreshing to have a show that is nice and not dark.

Netflix has been pumping out a fair few goodies recently but The Umbrella Academy is particularly fantastic.

Titans spinoff Doom Patrol is looking better to me, though, despite TUA having been inspired by the DP comics.

Oh, there is one improvement I see the TUA series has made over Gerald "My Chemical Romance" Way's comics. For some reason, despite explicitly having been acquired as orphans from all over the planet, all seven of Way's Academy members appeared to be white Caucasians.
