TV Series

we caught the first few seconds of the next ep which looks like a retro Star Trek homage with that blonde psycho henchman from Breaking Bad...so maybe the american flavour already coming up after those 3 very british episodes.

That episode is S04E01 so you'd be skipping 2 seasons to get to that !

Season 2 is still very British, make sure you watch the White Christmas episode, its not 'officially' part of season 2 as it was a one off Christmas special.

oh crap, thanks for the info....glad i mentioned it now...netflix just autoplayed it directly after s1 e3...will make sure i manually choose next time.
 
christ that s1 e3 of Black Mirror was uncomfortable as hell...massive props tho', 9/10.

also another impressive lead actor...i'm very impressed myself how well-made and thought-provoking all 3 eps have been so far. i used to enjoy Charlie Brooker's biting-mad Guardian columns, but this is a whole nother level, he's created high art here.

Gets better and better. 'White Christmas' is my top 5 episodes of any show ever.

so apparently if you want to watch the next big tv show, the next game of thrones or whatever there's a show on netflix called The Haunting of Hill House

i have seen two episodes and jesus christ this is good, it absolutely creeps me out but it's so good

Just up to episode 5 and actually getting chills thinking about how it finished. You can see what it's leading up to and then the twist is a cracker. Best ep so far, Brilliantly made show, can't wait to get through it. I read it took 6 weeks just to rehearse episode 6... as a Film and Telly worker meself that blows my tiny mind.
 
Second season was also pretty terrible tbh, like little house on the prairie but with some token zombies chucked in. The show peaked on the pilot episode, had such high hopes after that, was hoping for some proper epic big budget apocalyptic [Poor language removed] but instead they decided to cut costs, sack the good writers, replace them with dunderheads and have the entire show shot in the same friggin area for 10 seasons or however long its gone on for now.

They could have had them travelling all over the US, loads of different settings, keep it fresh... but nope, lets just make a soap opera with zombies in the same friggin woods that we've been in since season 1. It's just a money spinner at this point, they know that no matter how crap they make it there will always be enough geeks who can still find enjoyment in token zombie death scenes.

Yeh tbf I only only liked the first few episodes but I know many are massive fans and didn’t want to make enemies.
 
I watch Homes Under the Hammer occasionally and I saw an episode the other day where a property in Liverpool sold, and
at the 'after' part the scruffy bloke who usually presents it stopped at a window and praised the view.
'No, it's not open fields, and it's not a herd of Wildebeest sweeping across the prairie, it's Everton football ground', he said.

The view turned out be of the back of the park end stand, but there are no houses there, are there? The house was in a pretty fancy street and I tried to find it on Google Earth but there was nothing like it that I could see.

It was obviously a property in the area, but can anyone tell me where it was? It was fairly recent because he made the point that the view mightn't be an attraction for much longer because Everton are looking to build a new stadium away from Goodison Park.
 
Finally starting Twin Peaks! Been wanting to watch this for years.

oh my! my second-favourite ever series, behind only the modern Battlestar Galactica.

Seasons 1 & 2 from 1989/1990 are charming, dark & bizarre...there's some weak guff during the 2nd-half of Season 2 as Lynch & Frost went on sabbatical, but they returned just in time. Thereafter watch the Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me movie which fills some gaps and is very well made....

...then fast-forward 25 years later to Season 3 which just came out last year...oh wow...no one was expecting that haha

i mentioned earlier that a certain Season 3 episode is my favourite episode from any TV ever...let us know once you cain the whole series what you thought of it.

Or do a roving report like i'm doing with Black Mirror :cheers:
