\o/ One of those shows "for" kids but not really. Some genuinely incredible episodes in there. My kids still fall back on P&F as a comfort watch (along with Adventure Time and Regular Show, which are similarly excellent)

Yeah we liked Mrs Davis - had a very preacher vibe and series 2 of 30 coins starts this week which has the fittest oldest preacher you will ever see and apparently it took just 3 months for his PE coach to get him that shredded !

I got lost with the first season of 30 Coins, is it worth going back to? It just never seemed to go anywhere...

Burned through Twisted Metal this weekend. And it was effing great!!! Based on the Playstation game, they've genuinely turned this into an interesting world. Anthony Mackie in the lead, with Stephanie Beatriz in sidekick mode. Will Arnett voices Sweet Tooth and there are a bunch of other characters (and locations) from the game in there

It feels remarkably like they've put a comic book to life here. It's violent, funny, it goes places...

Not streaming anywhere at the mo in the UK - my brother hooked me up with a dodgy copy but it's totally one to look out for

We started watching The Fall Of The House of Usher on Netflix last night. We’re not usually binge watchers, but got through four episodes last night! Very gory in places, some good jump scares but never over used, and very creepy and atmospheric.

We loved Haunting of Hill House, but Bly Manor was slow and boring, so put me off Flanagan’s Netflix stuff since then. I’m glad we gave this a try, though. I may go back and watch some of his other Halloween shows now.

Thought Loki ep 1 season 2 was a bit of a mess - lots of branching mcguffin talking and pretty much zero Sylvie, 5/10.

Did like him in his silly space suit and snake connection air supply though.

Oh dear, please don't let them f-up their last decent show.

Really looking forward to the Marvels film coming soon... (I'm not, this could be their biggest disaster yet)

Funny enough I didn't like ep 1 of season 2 of Our Flag for almost the same reason - they've split up the main characters...bad decision script guys !

No series can have the delight of bringing characters back together without first splitting them apart.

Plus, of course, doing so can provide a new plotline.

Binged the last 3 of Loki and it turned out to be rather good after a poor start (and I am looking at you Our Flag for the same poor start) - Some nice touches and some fab music in the final ep....I didnt quite realise how good Tom is so bravo and a great supporting cast. More please.

And just like that I see Lazurus Project Season 2 is starting next week...best re-watch season 1 to get aheads up...

Plus one ep left of season 1 of Barry (a hitman is trying to shake off his past and become an actor) which we are currently loving - I love the way it commits, when its funny its funny but when its nasty its nasty....and the Fonz is in it and fuck he's 78 ! He looks and says he is late 50s in the show !

Watched Loki S2 but didn’t think it was that great.

Started Blue Eye Samurai really enjoying it so far.

Watched A Murder at the End of the World over the last two weeks and pretty much enjoyed it about a damaged female hacker who solves crimes - I almost preferred her story leading up to the "big crime" with Fangs over the main story but had a clever ending and Clive Owen was great.

Quite a big nod to Hal in 2001 in parts but yeah I would watch another series...

Just started True Detective as everyone I know loves it...what a great start and the time flipping is excellent....

I also enjoyed Murder At The End Of The World.

True Detective is a real mixed bag: first season was *amazing* and goes in some really unexpected directions towards the end. S2 was a confusing mess and a real waste of the acting talent they had onboard. S3 was a real return to form (but not thematically; it's an anthology series and leans into that aspect). Really looking forward to S4.
