Very meh. There's a new leader from the first generation who I hope will have his comeuppance soon enough. Wayward Pines is on the verge of a baby boom, almost every teenager is up the duff. The abbies appear to be retreating but I'm guessing they have something up their sleeves.

Didn't they kill off the expensive cast?

Looks like Stephens King and Spielberg sat down and amalgamated all their cliches into one super series.

Outcast - new horror drama by the guy who created The Walking Dead. It's about this guy who was possessed by a demon as a kid and now goes around exorcising other people who are possessed because he still has some demon left in him. Not mind blowing but it's got a good atmosphere, a good cast and is very watchable.

The Girlfriend Experience. Based on the Soderberg film. This is about an attorney who decided to become a high class call girl. Very good performance by the main woman. It's very slick, well crafted and slightly creepy in a Kubrickian way.

Randomly watched an episode of Billy on the Street which turned into binge watching most of season 1. Billy Eichner runs around the streets of New York harassing people with popculture questions & quizzes. Very funny.

Fleabag. It's being touted by some as the British version of Girls. It's not really, but I guess there's enough sex jokes and rich hipster types in the city in it to make the comparison. First episode is ok. They do the breaking the fourth wall thing which I don't like. Some of the jokes are funny, others completely miss their mark. I'll probably stick with it for now.

And its set in the early 80s which automatically means the soundtrack is amazing.

And yes, its very stephen king.

The Get Down: way too much "wack" and not nearly enough "get down" so far.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Bojack Horseman. So good

Finished Fargo S01 after putting off for ages.

Started The Walking Dead S04 reluctantly, a christmas present. Is this ever expected to end?

Just finished season 1 of Lady Dynamite. Maria Bamford plays a fictionalised version of herself trying to kick start her acting career after a mental breakdown. Very funny.

Now on to Bates Motel. I thought his would be Psycho for teens but it's actually pretty good. Good performances all round.

Spotless: Netflix thing set in London about 2 French brothers who clean up crime scenes for gangsters. It's not very good. Only watching it because I can't find the rest of The Night Of after kickass torrents has gone AWOL.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Got several on the go at the moment - Bates Motel, Narcos season 2, UnReal. Also rewatching Stranger Things

the get down

it's OK

Some recent TV binge watching: Outsourced (US version, lighted hearted but funny), Inside Amy Schumer (a few episodes into season 3, great sketches, helluva lot of effort put into it).

 

[Unicron]

the get down

it's OK

It's so overly stylised it took me a few episodes to get into the feel of it but by the end I really enjoyed it.

The kid who plays Zeke is a terrific actor.

Too much fucking disco though. Except for the scenes in the discos.

watched the first episode of season 2 of Narcos.

Looks like this season is gonna be far more gung-ho than season 1. Good stuff.

I should add, I have a friend in Columbia and I spoke to her about this show. Apparently it does not go down well with Colombian folk. Their's is a much more peaceful country than before, and they feel that sensationalising Escobar this way does not do much for the image of the country.

And also that the guy playing Escobar is from Brazil and has the fakest Colombian accent ever (not that us honkys would be able to tell).
