Must recommend the video game bashing Dead Pixels tv series from the Fresh Meat / Peep show lot -



3 eps in and its cruel, brilliant and funny - the bit where she meets a fellow light way gamer at the bus stop is just absolute class with its spot on observation. Oh and for you straight lot Oregon from Fresh Meat is in it too looking suitably gorgeous...

I am enjoying Dead Pixels too, even if I'm stuck in the old ways and watching each episode as E4 shows it instead of binging the box set.

Also enjoying Don't Forget The Driver with Toby Jones on BBC2, where a coach driver on a trip to France unwittingly brings back an illegal immigrant.

Surprised no-one here has said how good Chernoybl was - it was brilliant - I honestly didn't realise they were a day or two away from nuking most of Eastern Europe !

Yeah I thought it was excellent too, the whole tone was spot on.

And I dont why it took to this series to realise he was Richard Harris's son !! as he was great in The Terror too.

Season 3 of Stranger Things is out and reviewing well and supposedly better than season 2. I've liked the first few I've seen so far.

Season 3 of Jessica Jones is up too, again supposedly better than S2 but apparently suffers from the Marvel/Netflix stretching it over a few too many episodes. Not finished a few of the recent ones just due to the speed.

Trailer for the new Amazon 'Super' hero show is out, The Boys, a take on superheroes abusing their power/fame. Karl Uban stars and Simon Pegg seems to have a role. Looks very NSFW from the trailer, if you're squeamish look away at the oral sex part.



Out on the 26th July.

Old show, just found Brooklyn 99. Loving this light comedy. Nice to find something pleasant, the characters are just great and bounce off each other nicely.

Really enjoy Brooklyn 99 (series 6 is on Channel 4), still working my way through season 5

Really looking forward to The Boys. I loved the comic and it'll be interesting to see just how much they'll show in the series as the comics were seriously 18+ and even then were at times. (volume 1 is on sale on comixology at present)

I've been reading The Boys and various other comics on a website called readcomiconline.to. Works well in Chrome with AdBlock and other extensions of choice. It's an incredible archive, though going back years. Also read Umbrella Academy, Walking Dead, Runaways, Legion, Dredd, ROM, Guardians of the Galaxy, etc.

Really loved season 3 of Stranger Things. It was a real triumph after the okay-but-not-stellar season 2.
And the key Dustin moment was awesome

I'm massively surprised The Boys is finally getting made. Last I'd heard, it was in development hell with a PG13 rating, so it looks like Amazon have swept in and saved the day. Looking forward to see how it turns out, as I loved the TPBs.

The Boys trade paperbacks are currently in a bundle on Humblebundle.com (Garth Ennis) along with his Painkiller Jane and Battlefield series

I was confused there for a while as Pegg had previously stated that he would not be in the series, which shares most of the same development team as Preacher. It would appear, though, that he is playing the father of the character whose appearance was based on him, who is in turn being played by Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid's boy: (large image)

Spoiler: show

Incidentally, I am now wondering if anyone else from the Star Trek films will guest star.

Season six of Brooklyn Nine-Nine is crushing it, so glad it was picked up again.

And really enjoyed Gentleman Jack with Suranne Jones recently, a great antidote to twee costume dramas.
