Aside from Andor (season 2 has been great so far) I have been watch “The Eternaut”. An Argentinian near future science fiction series dealing with a catastrophic event from the view point of a few survivors. Slow initially but episode 3 has a big surprise.

Only 6 episodes in Season 1 and believe Season 2 is on the way. Well worth checking out

Ooh... gilesgoat recommended the comic to me some time ago. From the trailer I feel they are adapting the more socialist "reboot" version. I will give it a go.

Wow - LOL Last one laughing - how funny is Bob and Richard - fave reality comedy show this year !

So I just binged the 2024 show "Ludwig" and had a blast. Crime and ...not really comedy, but the restraint of a comedian who is really out of his waters and would the world just please go away and leave him alone again.

I really enjoyed Ludwig. You should give Death Valley a go!

Binged Department Q. Good detective series set in Edinburgh



Currently half way through North Shore
another detective series (only 6 episodes) set in Australia with an English Detective over to observe

Which monopolista runs Death Valley then? BTW, I found that season 2 of Ludwig has been greenlit.

Thanks, but I don't have an out with a British IP. I guess there is a chance it will be shopped by some Norwegian channel in not to long.

Season 4 of Fargo for us and all seasons have been truly great with Billy Bob as an early stand-out in season 1 which leads me on nicely to see that his show runners' new TV project - Alien:Earth is getting amazing previews across the board - can wait for it this week !

I thought I would LOVE Alien Earth - writer from Fargo - tick , Timothy Olyphant - tick , mega budget - tick and .... I didnt ...

I thought it was Ok'ish with a ton of bad story telling and just stupid stupid decisions from main characters. By the end it really annoyed me except for one thing - the eyeball alien was far more interesting than the rest of the plot put together....along with that left-field casting of Adrian Edmunsen....

And for fuck sake, just kill people - dont talk about it or throw them in a cell (as noted by the great austin powers film).

All that tech on a trillionaires private island and a few scuba drivers can just rock up and take what they like and not be seen ? FFS.

6/10 - I wont be rushing back for season 2 unlike Fallout which is rebooting for S2 fairly shortly....

Late to the party I know but wow is 2019 The Watchmen tv series good - just watched the ep with nostalgia (you'll know if you've watched it) and just....wow again. So fucking good.

IT: Welcome to Derry is fantastic. It runs out of steam towards the end but has a good amount of momentum to carry it by then.

Last Samurai Survivor is entertaining. Great level of production in what is otherwise a mash-up of Squid Games/Hunger Games with elements lifted from every samurai flick and anime ever.

Spartacus: House of Ashur is both better than and as bad as the original series. OTT characters struggling to deliver their awful dialog from what is otherwise good writing.

Sky Atlantic showed the first 6 episodes of The Nevers years ago. Now ITVX has all 12 episodes available to watch.

Didn't know anything about this but most of my torrent sites have it "borrowed" from amazon at 1080p for the 12 eps....will watch after Wonder Man

Actually just found a blu-ray for it And I see Joss departed from it after the first 6 eps

I know I’m late to the party, but the musical ep of Star Trek strange new worlds was absolutely fantastic !
