Blame capitalism guys, and help bring it down!
Maybe the group, led by your leadership, will see these drafts as PR functions and brilliant use of humor

Been looking forward to this one in particular.

Tonight at 9:00 in the unusual gaffs... By season's end, Pope and Baz will have the ultimate confrontation...

Also, random series I stumbled upon in Netflix...

The Same Sky, subtitled, about the family effects of an East German spy working across the barrier in Berlin during the '70s.

Seen the first two episodes, pretty good stuff. Sort of an attempt to show that East Germans and East Berliners had real lives...

Since haste quite Schorsch, but Liverpool are genuine fight pigs...

Discovered the series 'Love' last night. Ended up binging the first season until the early hours of this morning, boss show. Got season 2 to look forward to later.

Yeah I can understand why some people didn't give it a go.All I can say is that whilst it was a slow burner it has turned out to be top quality.
Kirkman said that it the first comic book he has ever started where he knew what the endiing would be.

Searching through HBO series I spotted vice principals,missed it when it aired.It stars Danny Mcbride and Walton Goggins,I am 4 episodes in and it has some proper side splitting scenes and is just as cringey as you would expect.McBride may as welll have made it as a follow up to Eastbound and down though because the character he portrays could just as easilly been called Kenny Powers.

I watched it and whilst it is beautifully shot & the story and acting are ok,both finales were utter shyte and a real let down.

I watched the opening ten minutes of Outcast. I felt the eyes of the Allfather watching me as I did and I knew if I continued on I was to be forbidden from taking my place in the Mead Hall at Valhöll.....

As to that nonsense from HBO...I had hopes for that....by the end of the second ep I had hoped they'd make Goggins and McBride remain in the house to be consumed by the cleansing flames....I hoped in vain.

At least my place in Valhöll  is secure.

Lets cleanse the palette with something exotic and foreign. ;D

I have in my possession season two of Les Témoins (Witnesses). I've yet to start viewing but as those who watched season one will know this is (unlike most of the shite mentioned already on this page) is good and well worth seeking out and watching. Season two is based around the story line of A country road along the North Sea, the first day in Spring. 15 dead men, frozen, found sitting quietly in a bus.
Catherine Keemer: a mysterious woman, an amnesiac, discovered the next day in her car, 100km away. The 15 victims in the bus: all the men shared her love, for one night or a year. Sandra Winckler, a determined and obsessed cop who won't tolerate an unsolved mystery. Sandra Winckler (Marie Dompnier) and Catherine Keemer (Audrey Fleurot): two woman who are going to need to unite for the better and against the worst.

It's not readily available yet, that is unless you have SBS Direct link, a VPN will help you here....or you're part of the private tracker TVCUK. Obviously I have both. ;D

Another decent new series from CBC. This, Cardinal is an adaptation of the first novel in the John Cardinal series, Forty Words For Sorrow. The series starts with the discovery of the body of a teenage girl whose been missing. The series follows detective John Cardinal as he attempts to uncover the mystery of what happened to the young girl. At the same time, unbeknownst to Cardinal, he comes under investigation by his new partner, Lise Delorme, a tough investigator in her own right.

Utter shame that. I really likd it and I thought it was one of the best made dramas in a while. Could any other network pick it up?
The biggest problem anywhere in the world is that people's perceptions of reality are filtered through the screening mesh of what they want, and do not want, to be true.

What. The. Fuck.

Oh fuck off Cinemax. It's not like you have a ton of series let alone quality ones. Absolutely shocking.
Messi in fact doesn't have a recognizable trait.

Utter shame that. I really likd it and I thought it was one of the best made dramas in a while. Could any other network pick it up?
Possible, but from what I've read from the series creators I don't see it happening. I read on his blog that they'd attempted to find another home for the show but were unable to do so. I do know the numbers watching Quarry were good as were the reviews from most if not all of the reviewers I read....and I read quite a few. The reason given for the cancellation is Cinemax are going in a different direction re their programming and also a change in the regime at HBO....so I think we've seen that last of Quarry.

There are though...13 with 14 coming out soon, books in the Quarry series by author Max Allan Collin available to read.
Exercise is to the body what reading is to the mind.

"If I hadn't doped, I would never have won". "Doping improves your performance between 5 and 7 per cent, and maybe 10 to 12 per cent when you are in a peak shape.

"Doping isn't addictive but it's an instrument of power: whoever wins attracts the money; for themselves, the team and the sponsors"

BBC 4 Saturday, June 3, 9 pm. I've already seen and enjoyed this.
Does it pick up as it progresses? Watched the first one and just wasn't feeling it at all. I usually love anything in that BBC4 9pm slot.

Watched it till the end. Was not something that made me want more of it.

WTF?
It's true to say that if Shankly had told us to invade Poland we'd be queuing up 10 deep all the way from Anfield to the Pier Head.

S3 of the flash has been pretty bad!

I think we're the only 2 on here that watch it. But in my defence, I only watch it with my 10 year old son. What's your excuse  ;D

It has been awful though. I hate the self righteous fuckwit if I'm honest. The end of that series was shite. Spends the whole series trying to save Iris so they could live happily ever after and get married, then the first sign of something going tits up he fucks off to spend eternity in the speed force? Do fuck off.
