Does it get better? Because I couldn't get more than half way through first episode.

[Paulbot]

Does it get better? Because I couldn't get more than half way through first episode.

Yes. I'm a fan and have enjoyed all four seasons. The first episode is a bit heavy and serious as I recall, but there's such an entertaining range of new characters, Sarah's sisters, that come along. Sometimes the conspiracy stuff gets a bit boring, but I've found the "pretending to be someone else" situations always entertaining.

The hype surrounding Stranger things whet my appetite for more of the weird. Rewatched all of American Horror Story and just discovered American Gothic.

Despite having the same name and also being a CBS show, AG is not related to the 90's series. And that's a pity. So far the new show is more Dallas style whodunnit than the occult thriller I was expecting. I hope it gets better.

Took up Stranger Things, agree 100% with the recommendations. I'm 4 episodes in and loving it so far.

Another vote for Stranger Things

After 5 eps I can't recommend this.

But I hear the new Voltron is good. Done by the same crew behind the Avatar Aang and Korra series.

The final season of Mythbusters (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_MythBusters_episodes#2016_season) starts on SBS2 tonight, while on SBS1 at about the same time is a doco on the restoration of the original Star Trek series (probably for one of the DVD releases), I guess as part of the 60th anniversary of the series this year.

The geek in me has to decide what to watch first, and what to tape to watch later.... :p

[BigTransformerTrev]

I'm really enjoying 'The Katering Show' on Wednesdays on the ABC.

Funniest women on tv! :D

[CHILENO20]

Watched all of season 1 & 2 of Daredevil, left me wanting more :D Not so happy that I have to wait until 2018 for season 3 :mad: Now to start watching Jessica Jones, then The Defenders & Luke Cage :)

[griffin]

I've seen commercials for a new Macgyver tv show... it seems almost sacrilegious, to try to redo a classic, corny tv show like that... with a new mullet in the title role.
I think it would have been better to create a new show with the same formula, than doing a copy of a show that was iconic. It's like redoing a classic movie (like Ben Hur, which flopped), as opposed to creating a new classic based on that same premise (like Gladiator).

[1AZRAEL1]

Richard Dean Anderson is none too happy about the new series and says he'll have nothing to do with it because it basically takes a dump on the fans

Im a huge RDA fan. Loved him as Col. O'Neill in Stargate. I was hoping he would have some involvement in the reboot so it is a shame to hear he wants no part of it.

I watched it lsst night and actually enjoyed it. I haven't seen the original in 20 years so my memory is hazy but I thought it was ok. I will keep watching.

Not all reboots are bad. I really enjoy Hawaii Five-0 and Battlestar Galactica reboots.

What channel or subscription service?

[Bladestorm]

Tried to watch the new Macgyver (my hubs is a huge fan of the original) and I got about 5 minutes in before I couldn't watch any more.
Could they cast a more ugly actor for Macgyver? Let alone stupid things like revealing his first name straight away... It was a thing with the original that it took 2 years before the audience discovered his first name. Are the audience that dumb they have to write what Macgyver is using on the screen? Ugh... terrible!
The storyline was awful and the characterisation was really off. My hubs couldn't even watch the whole first episode.

Certainly proves the rule - if it ain't broke, don't fix it (even if you do have a paperclip and chewing gum).

Also watched the new Lethal Weapon show. Better than Macgyver but the guy who plays Riggs is terrible and definitely not a looker either. Strylines are better written and it has potential though...

[Megatran]

Later tonight on SBS2 is a movie 'Journey to the West'. A different perspective to the tv series with the same title that aired many moons ago (aka Monkey Magic).

[gamblor916]

Enjoying Son of Zorn. Funny stuff.

[griffin]

Enjoying Son of Zorn. Funny stuff.

It's a bit like, what if He-Man was real, but from an animated universe, and had a family with a human female... and then how would those two "worlds" interact.
I got bored with it after the first episode though, as the concept was pretty much the same after that.

[laproblematique]

Anybody watching the first season of Luke Cage that came out over the weekend?

Entertaining, although falls a little short of the standard set by Daredevil I feel. Marvel's doing well with the Netflix series, if only they could write some decent villains other than those in Spiderman. :D

[griffin]

A repeat of the Toy Hunter tv show is on Channel 99, at 11.30pm on Wednesday. Not sure if it is just a space-filler episode, or a regular timeslot.
There ended up being 3 seasons of that show (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toy_Hunter), of 41 episodes, and I think only season 1 ended up showing here on free-to-air.

[griffin]

There's also a William Shatner Roast on Thursday at 9.30pm on channel 9... which could be amusing... and most likely tasteless, but I've seen a fair bit of his works, so might find it funny when it gets referenced or roasted.

I was actually surprised that he is 85 years old. I was watching that "Better late than never" show last week, with four old "famous" people from TV and sport, travelling the globe, with the first episode being Tokyo... and one of them mentioned that he was 85. He certainly doesn't look 85, but I looked it up, and sure enough, he was born in 1931. (which I guess makes sense, as he was obviously in his 30s during the original Star Trek, and that was 50 years ago now)
This week (on Thursday at 8.30pm) they travel to Hong Kong, which is another location I'm familiar with, so it should be just as interesting, and amusing.

[Meister]

Bit late to the party but another set of thumbs up for Stranger Things, it's like Stephen King and Speilberg had an 80's orgy... ok that sounds wrong but those who have seen it will get what I'm on about

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Certainly proves the rule - if it ain't broke, don't fix it (even if you do have a paperclip and chewing gum).

LOL! 10 points for that joke!

Later tonight on SBS2 is a movie 'Journey to the West'. A different perspective to the tv series with the same title that aired many moons ago (aka Monkey Magic).
Was that a movie that looked fairly recent in Japanese? All characters done by Japanese SMAP actors if it is.
They had a TV series run for aboutt 10 episodes. Not quite as good as the original Monkey Magic. The hing that annoyed me the most was that Monkey made a sudden shift from being reckless and selfish to spouting lectures at the bad guys about the goodnees of humans in the first epi.

It did have some good moments, like when there are impostor Monkey, Pigsy and Sandy characters, and the person playing Tripiktaka is a sexy girl. A good joke, since Tripitaka is supposed to be a boy, but is usually acted by a girl.

Watched the first episode of Westworld and gots ta admit that I really enjoyed it. They definitely managed to build anticipation for where the story is going

I had not even heard about this show until I read an article on SMH about how degrading it was towards women. I decided to give it a try and not judge before watching and I am glad I did. I really enjoyed it when you look at it as a show about human nature and not about objectifying women (I found the article to take a very narrow interpretation of the show upon reflection).

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

... how degrading it was towards women.
... objectifying women (I found the article to take a very narrow interpretation of the show upon reflection).

Wow, that never entered my mind while watching it. That must have been a veeeeery narrow interpretation of the show. What do people expect? It's a western and ladies rarely get the good end of the stick in them generally, but there is nothing in there that I saw that makes it any worse than any number of shows.
Wow. (again)

[Megatran]

Channel 7 & it's affiliate channels are labelling any movie they have not previously aired with the 'Premiere' tag. Mortal Kombat movie was released over 20 years ago ... yet it carried the Premiere tag. :rolleyes:

[1AZRAEL1]

Just words used to entice. Don't buy into it. This is part of the reason I don't watch normal tv much.

Finished watching My Name Is Earl again the other day. I forgor it ends with a cliffhanger? Wtf? Bastards for cancelling a good show. Had so much more it could do. Would love for it to come back.

Into new show I'm watching. Who else has seen Blunt Talk? Patrick Stewart is great. Only 4 episodes in and I'm laughing alot. I think in his later years, he has come to not take himself seriously and it shows. Plus, it's a Seth McFarlene show, so it is bound to be funny

[Trent]

Spent a few days powering through RWBY again. Really impressed with that show.

[TAAUBlaster]

Let's get cracking, on another all Aussie Adventure!! :D

Its been 15 years since the last All Aussie Adventure. I guess that's enough time for the Australian native animals to repopulate and prepare themselves for Russell's helping hands :p

[Trent]

Found a new show on Netflix last night called The Expanse. I'm 3 episodes in and while it's not fantastic, it certainly has the potential to do some great things.

For anyone that is interested in Amazon Prime Original movies and TV. You can now sign up for the American Amazon Prime and view Amazon Prime video, tho it is limited to Amazon Originals. It's $11 USD a month but the first months free. With Amazon about to launch in Australia this is a bit of a soft launch tho Amazon refuses to acknowledge it's actually anything but a way to watch the new season of Top Gear The Grand Tour right now.

I have three more episodes left of that. While I like the realism (bit weird using realism to describe fiction, maybe 'practicality' is a better word) it does feel quite dry, a bit like Battlestar Galactica. Tom Jane's horrendous combover doesn't help.

Might move on to Killjoys after this. Anyone know if this should not be watched?

Tom's character is the most interesting person in the show (Well, after Shed).

It's getting a second season so hopefully there is actually some story development because it has heaps of potential.

I'll have to give the books a go.

Killjoys (and Dark Matter) is great! You can tell though that it doesn't have the biggest of budgets.

I watched the first episode and whilst I can say I don't mind it, it just didn't capture me. For that reason it is well down the list of shows for me to watch.

Loving Westworld at the moment and a little comedy gem I came across randomly, The Grinder. If you like comedies about law firms that are just outright stupid, then give The Grinder a try.

I used to watch South Park religiously but haven't watched it in the last couple of years.

Currently watching season 20. Rather interesting the change in format, as in each episode continues on from the last rather than being a self-contained adventure.

I'll let myself out. Don't mind me. Leaving now

Flash is killing it right now too.

LoT managed to pluck the greatest characters from the Arrowverse for all out action fun without being limited by the usual C.W forced romance and unneeded drama storylines. Probably the pick of the bunch right now.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

I started watchign season 2 of Ash Vs evil dead. OMG I love the wriring. Some of the jokes are right up my alley.


I must be getting that bad memory disease.

Alzheimers?

Alzheimers? That's a bad memory disease, why would mention that?
Oh man, I laughed so hard at that line for some reason.

Writing like that makes me miss Naked Gun and the TV series it came from (which I can't remember right now )

Alos, I am waiing to start Voltrton LD seas 2. 1 Impressed my pants off and I too am awaiting SOC LD Volty. BRING IIITT!

[millhouse]

Writing like that makes me miss Naked Gun and the TV series it came from (which I can't remember right now )

You mean Police Squad! (As in The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!). Incredibly underrated classic series - all, what, six episodes? Love it.

Ash Vs Evil Dead has been wonderful too.

[M-bot]

Been watching "The OA" on Netflix. Not entirely sold on it yet, but I'm 6 episodes in (of 8 I think), and I keep watching... I have a feeling I'm either going to love where it ends or hate it. There's been a bunch of times I've thought that it's getting a little cheesy and then it pulls out something cool. We'll see.

More a stand alone movie than a TV show, but "iBoy" on Netflix was pretty cool. Not brilliant but there is some good performaces there. Could've been really good if they gave it a bit more time and space, maybe 3-5 hour long episodes rather than a 90-odd-minute one-off.

[Trent]

Enjoyed the second season of Voltron too (am looking at the toys now)

I'm using my free trial of Stan to catch up on a few shows I've wanted to get to.

Over summer I watched the six seasons of Community which was something I'd been meaning to get to for ages. I liked it but didn't love it, felt like it went on a bit longer than it should have.

Over the weekend I watched the first season of Unreal which was great, but how anyone could watch it and then take the Bachelor/Bachelorette shows seriously ever again? (If they ever did).

[Raider]

Just finished season 2 of Voltron.

Damn that's a great show.

1 and a half episodes in Season 2 left to go and it is ramping up... so excited... hope to get 30 mins free time tonight to finish it off.

Flash is killing it right now too.

LoT managed to pluck the greatest characters from the Arrowverse for all out action fun without being limited by the usual C.W forced romance and unneeded drama storylines. Probably the pick of the bunch right now.

[M-bot]

Just saw the first episode of Legion, a sort-of X-Men spin off. Unbelievably brilliant, better than any of the X-Men films so far. So good that I'm now nervous that the rest of the series couldn't possibly live up to the debut ep.

Will need to watch this series considering that Legion's stupidity brought about the age of Apocalypse event (back in the 90's).

On another note, I finished watching S1 of Stranger Things and what an 80's sci-fi nerdgasm of a series:D! Can't wait for S2 where the kids turn up to school dressed as the Ghostbusters. Excellent choice of cosplay.

[DELTAprime]

GOD DAMN IT!!!

I got an offer from Netflix to have a new free trial for a month since I haven't been subscribed for a while. Problem is the way they work it is deleting your old account and making a new one thereby deleting your viewing history. I now have no idea where I was up to in the shows I was watching.:mad:

[laproblematique]

I think LoT is the best of the CW DC shows. Surprisingly for me my favourite character is Nate Heywood.

Nate and Vixen have been significant upgrades on the Hawks last season. That was such a terrible storyline with Vandal Savage.

The pacing and writing on this show is so much better than Flash this season and anything from Arrow the past few seasons - I still need to catch up on this season's Arrow as I've heard it's been much better.

Half way through Iron Fist on Netflix. It isn't awesome. The "martial arts" and fight scenes are pedestrian, which is a particular problem if your show is one based on a martial arts expert.

New favourite... The Expanse. It's like a scifi thriller/mystery. Burned through season 1 in a week which is like a record for me of recent. Any chance I got I watched. Was like a good book I couldn't put down. Been awhile since I came across a show like that.

[Paulbot]

The two part Four Corners story on the Lindt Cafe Seige was great and worth catching up on via Iview. Great account of what happened, quite damning of the official response, and quite harrowing to get an insight of what the hostages suffered. If you want to feel angry and sad and informed, it has it all.

I'm kind of over it. We just watched S701 again & yeah, still over it.

My wife only really got into it in Season 5. She hasn't seen 1-4. I mostly think she watches it because I do :p

I liked the first 5 mins of season 7 but the rest seemed slow which is how the show feels most of the time. Just so many story lines going on...

For those that did watch it, interested to know if it was on Foxtel or through a torrent? :p

[Bartrim]

I liked the first episode of Game of Thrones. It set a lot of pieces in play.

Yeah wife and I had an agreement that I would watch it if she watched Game of Thrones. I figured out a great way to get out of it though as it really sucked. I pretty much just spent the entire time critiquing everyone and constantly talking. In the end she didn't want me to watch it with her anymore :p

Not a bad GoT ep this week. Got me a little more involved than I had been previously.

I was hoping Bronn would've impaled Daenerys instead of Drogon. Hell, even Jamie gave it a red hot go. Good on him for having a crack. Of course it's quite difficult when you have a big f off dragon staring down at you, but well done nonetheless. +10

Daenerys gets a -20 for being a spoilt brat. Again.
Arya gets a +10 for her display of badassery.
Littlefinger gets +1 for finally letting go of the walls he loves to hug so much & crawling out of the shadows.
Brienne gets a -10 for being Brienne. Can't wait for The Hound to cleave her in half from top to tail.

And Bran... Bran. Someone roll that catatonic lump off the edge of a cliff already :rolleyes: Fly, Raven, Fly!

[ILikeSoundwave]

Ah, so you're one of those Dany haters. :(:D

I used to like Bronn but he's fighting for the wrong side, and after trying to take a shot at Drogon he's gone way down the list. Hopefully Jamie and him will realise the evil which is Cersei and side with Dany. But at the same time I want Jamie to get back to Kingslanding so he can tell Cersei that it was the savage boss Olenna who poisioned her dirtbag of a son.

[Sinnertwin]

Nah, I don't hate Daenerys. She's a good leader, but a terrible ruler. Just look at what she's done and both socially and economically to the cities she's "freed" along with her contradicting sense of justice.

Her claim to being the "rightful queen" is also no more valid than any of the other lords of westeros. If you can take it and claim it as your own just like Aegon the Conqueror did all of those years ago, you can rule it.

The reason why Bran is a catatonic lump is because his catatonia has to compete with the catatonia of the catatonic athlete called the Night King.;)

Caught up with GoT. Moving along alot faster and not really getting the sense of emotional impact from characters. Wondering who willl be alive still to battle the Night King. What if the Night King becomes King of the seven kingdoms?:D

New favourite... The Expanse. It's like a scifi thriller/mystery. Burned through season 1 in a week which is like a record for me of recent. Any chance I got I watched. Was like a good book I couldn't put down. Been awhile since I came across a show like that.

I just finished the two seasons. Started off slow but really picked up and I burned through it. Great viewing.

It's really interesting watching all the shade getting thrown at it. I just read 3 pages on another message board about how the opening sequence sucked :rolleyes: It seems people are trying their hardest to not like it.

I thought it was quite good. It's not shaping up to be a sciencey exploration show but will hopefully entertain.

And so far I am entertained. I like the concept of the spore drive even if they are fuzzy on the details. And Starfleet are acting in a completely irrational manner by allowing the Discovery to roam the Galaxy.

And why the hell did they destroy the Glenn? Should have just cleaned off the walls and re-crewed it.

Stranger Things 2!... nuff said

Also Voltron season 4 is up and running

Also I don’t mind the new Star Trek, not sure how it is supposed to fit in to the original series as it seems to be in the same timeline?, regardless, I’ve been enjoying it, not sure what all the moaning is about

[Meister]

Netflix The Punisher, first Marvel series I thought of giving a go, think Jon Bernthal does an amazing job in this role, very brutal, thought it was pretty good, not for the kiddies or anyone with a weak stomach when it comes to violance an gore

[Paulbot]

I've fallen off watching Flash and Supergirl, and never got into Arrow or Legends of Tomorrow, but I caught up with the Crisis on Earth-X crossover and thought it was quite good and just enough of a taste of that combined universe to last me a while.

Meanwhile, given how good the Dreamworks/Netflix Voltron has been, I'm looking forward to see the recently announced Dreamworks/Netflix She-Ra. (I always preferred She-Ra to MOTU.)

[gamblor916]

Just finished Future Man. Funniest show I've seen in a long time. Be warned though, some of the humour is a bit low brow.

Especially brutal are the last two episodes. And for anyone looking for The Punisher's nemesis? He'll be showing up in season 2.

By the way, I finished watching Stranger Things season 2 and I'm glad the colossal villain is called the Mind Flayer it saves me having to call it the sausage-legged spider.

The Toys That Made Us has arrived in Netflix. 4 eps (Star Wars, Barbie, MOTU, GIJoe). There's no Transformers episode (yet but there's 4 more eps to come and they've tweeted out TF collectors pics and interviewed Peter Cullen and Bov Budianski) but I'm jumping into the GIJoe episode now.

An aside, I know GIJoe from the TF UK comics and never saw an episode of the cartoon as a kid. They played a clip of Cobra Commander from that cartoon and that voice is awful for him!

I watched the Star Wars and MOTU episodes last night. Very interesting. I won’t be watching the GIJoe one though as I have no interest in that what so ever. Might watch Barbie tonight.:p

[Paulbot]

There is enough similarities between the origins of GIJoe and Transformers that a TF episode might seem redundant.

The thing about GIJoe's origin that surprised me as a casual Joe fan was how only a few of the original 80s line up seem to have become a big deal since. Sure Hawk, Snake Eyes, Scarlett and Cobra Commander remain big names, but who are Zap, Flash and Grunt? Compared to TF's 84 line up that remains so well loved.

[M-bot]

I watched the MOTU episode, with was great. Felt a bit too short though, I thought there was way more depth they could’ve gone into. But for an episode of a TV series (rather than a feature length doco) it was very good. I’ll go back and watch the others soon, even though I have no particular interest in GI Joe or Barbie.

[philby]

i watched the first 3 episodes of that toy one today, i enjoyed them all. especially the MOTU one with the guy making stuff up in the meeting as they went along and the other guy yelling and swearing at the designer about the tiger lol

The guy who created it consulted one of the writers of Lost to figure out the best way to hook the audience into watching the next episode with the ending of the current one and my word did it work.

Just binged on the Netflix's Lost in Space reboot. It's pretty cool, the gender flipped
Dr. Smith played by Parker Posey is a nice contrast to the origin camp version.

Also I did not know that John Woo (http://au.ign.com/articles/2018/04/12/john-woos-forgotten-lost-in-space-reboot-revisited) directed a very 90s - but filmed in 2003 - looking reboot too.

Wow, I hadn’t ever heard of the John Woo version...

I only caught the first ep of the new series (so far) and found it an interesting update, if you can accept the extraordinary contrivance of them crash landing on a planet that is virtually the same as Earth (clearly done for budgetary reasons, so somewhat understandable). The robot is a particularly interesting update and there’s some intriguing mysteries set up in the first ep that are going to be interesting to see unfold.

[SMHFConvoy]

True and I like that they still made the attempt to make the landscape alien to a degree: the ends of tree branches are rounded of at the end and the root system is almost like a printed circuit board. I'll refrain from talking about the Robot other than it's bloody-well nigh indestructible like the one in the original series.

Also while they tried to do hard science like the Expanse this is an all ages show.

[Bartrim]

Looking through Netflix and decide to start on The Musketeers. Pretty decent. It appears to be swashbuckling adventures at first but there are a lot of underlying sub plots involving politics and double crossing.

[Meister]

Thought the new lost in space was a pretty good little bit of family sci-fi, nothing spectacular story wise (think the new Star Trek takes the trophy for that), but an enjoyable watch nonetheless. Liked the female Dr Smith and the robot was pretty cool.

Just watched the first 2 episodes of Cobra Kai. Disappointing. They've turned Daniel and Johnny into caricatures rather than characters, and neither of them seem to have really changed since the 80s. What the? :confused:

Daniel LaRusso
He's really acting like a jerk towards Johnny. Okay, Johnny bullied him when they were kids, but we know that at the end of Karate Kid Johnny handed the trophy to Daniel with a very brief but important exchange of words...
"You're alright, LaRusso."
"Thanks a lot!"
This is subtle but super important for both characters as it represents reconciliation. It would be assumed that they would have grown from that point onwards. Johnny effectively apologised and Daniel accepted it. So why would he, over 30 years later, rub that defeat in Johnny's face? Daniel explains it as friendly ribbing, but... they're not friends. It comes off as bullying. Now to Daniel's credit, he does realise that he's crossed a line and offers to repair Johnny's car for free and gives him a free bonsai as a further token gesture of goodwill, and that's cool. But when he learns that it was Johnny who fought with his daughter's boyfriend, he went and confronted Johnny in a really provocative and aggressive manner rather than simply speaking to Johnny as an adult in order to voice some serious concerns. At the end of the day, a kid has made an allegation about Johnny, but rather than getting Johnny's side of the story first, Daniel went and started making accusations and then warning Johnny to stay away from his daughter's friends. Really not cool. And for some reason Daniel is a fairly incompetent parent. Forget Johnny, Daniel needs Supernanny to come along and smack some parenting sense into him!

Johnny Lawrence
Very disappointing character. Are you telling me that he's allowed ONE sporting defeat to ruin his entire life? :confused: Daniel is the Real Bully in the Karate Kid (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_Gz_iTuRMM) explains well how Johnny was a flawed but otherwise basically decent character. He had made some poor decisions in the past but they were behind him and he was trying to make his life better. And as mentioned before, he even reconciled his differences with Daniel at the end of the film in a gesture of good sportsmanship. I don't necessarily have an issue with Johnny being portrayed as a total loser -- they do show us a scene where Johnny's instructor beat him up for coming 2nd place in the tournament. And that's bad. The original Cobra Kai instructor was both emotionally and physically abusive and it's plausible that it would've had ongoing negative consequences on Johnny as a person. The show also explains how Johnny lost his mother and was raised by a difficult stepfather. So yeah, it does explain how and why Johnny's life has gone down the toilet. But it doesn't explain why he's so childish and... basically just a real jerk. Someone who's continually haunted by the memory of losing one Karate match. Really? Damn, how petty can you get? And why is he such a bully to his own student? I thought it was really cool when he stood up to the bullies that were beating the kid up. It was reminiscent of the scene where Mr Miyagi beat up Johnny and his mates to protect Daniel (only that Daniel provoked that incident whereas here the kid was completely innocent). I don't get it. And the casual racism? Huh? I don't recall seeing any of that from the original movie.

Anyway, apparently I need to sign on for YouTube Premium to watch Episode 3, but I'm unconvinced after the first 2 eps where the main characters are pretty one dimensional. It feels like the show just wants to continue the grudge match between Daniel and Johnny despite the 35-odd year gap and by totally ignoring that important end dialogue between the characters in the movie. I get that they want to make Johnny vulnerable and at a low point - hopefully because they want to develop him as a protagonist and not just make him a cartoonish villain.

Johnny's journey sorta reminds me of Mr Miyagi's. Mr Miyagi was in a bad place when he met Daniel. Miyagi was an alcoholic and haunted by the memory of his wife dying in childbirth. It was through mentoring Daniel that Miyagi himself completed his own journey of redemption. I hope that this is what they have planned for Johnny's character by becoming an instructor a the new Cobra Kai. But I dunno... while Miyagi had his issues, he wasn't a butthole. Jackie Chan's character in the 2010 Karate Kid remake had even deeper issues, being responsible for his family's death after he crashed the family car. Chan's character suffered not only from survivor's guilt, but also knowing that it was his reckless actions behind the wheel that caused it. And it was through his mentoring of Jaden Smith's character that Chan's character was able to find redemption and self-forgiveness. But again, Chan wasn't a butthole. He wasn't a petty bully holding onto some childish 30+ year old grudge.

Buuuuuuut neither Miyagi nor Chan's character seemed to have traumatic childhoods. In fact, both Miyagi and Chan's character learnt their martial arts from their fathers - so it seems that they had good family relationships. The traumatic events in Miyagi's and Chan's lives happened during their adulthood, which was still horrible, but not the same as childhood trauma. The original Cobra Kai instructor brainwashed his students - effectively grooming them. Not in a sexual manner, but still holding grossly abusive power and control over the kids in his Dojo. We see Johnny repeating some of these traits as an instructor, which is tragic to see... but in Cobra-Kai it just comes across as being comical rather than scary. Johnny comes across as a middle-aged schoolyard bully rather than the menacing presence that his Sensei had.

I dunno... the series has the potential to be good, and I hope that it does improve in future eps but I can't be bothered downloading a new version of YouTube just to watch if. I might go and read some episode synopses since I don't care about spoilers for this series at this stage. :p

[M-bot]

Watched Bodyguard on Netflix. Easily binge-able as only 6 episodes long. BBC/Netflix co-produced, starring Richard Madden (late of Game of Thrones).

It's EXCELLENT.

There were a few things that bothered me a little (2 of my concerns through eps 1-5 were explained reasonably well in ep 6, albeit in a slightly "that's convenient" kind of way, and 2 or 3 things in the last ep were a bit of a stretch - would love to discuss more but want to avoid spoilers), but overall, really really great. The tension through a fair bit of the series is palpable. It's a bit complex too, with conspiracies and twists, so it's the kind of show you can get lost/confused if you're not paying attention.

[Trent]

The 8th and final season of Legendary Defender is out. I'm one episode in and it looks pretty cool! I'm going to be very disappointed when it ends.

[Raptormesh]

Just binged on Brooklyn nine nine and this is now my second favourite sitcom after Community.

[M-bot]

Enjoying the living heck out of The Umbrella Academy on Netflix. Been binging it with my wife. I love a show that doesn’t mind stopping for a song, or a dance number. Cool superheroics, an intriguing story with some clever conceits and some fun action, tight script and great characters, well acted. Recommended.

Contrast to Titans that wallowed in its grim ‘n’ grittiness, pointless uber-violence that exists only for its own sake, and poor characterisation. It features characters whose names and most simple of design aesthetic are familiar, but literally nothing else. Just a dirge. Avoid.

[M-bot]

I’m going to add to my Umbrella Academy review now that I’m done with the series. It’s still great. It did some interesting things towards the end, and then the last 2 eps settles into an ending that appeared a little predictable, maybe just short of cliched. But then, it did that ending so well, it didn’t matter that I saw it coming.

Left it open for a second series, which I sincerely hope they do.

Keen to hear the thoughts of others, spoiler-free of course.

I've been watching Supernatural since the get-go with the missus. Its had some ups and downs, but since they're now into their 14th season, there must REALLY be some longevity with these guys!

The current season is pretty good though they're truncating them to 20 episodes now to give the actors a bit more of an off-season break with their families. As a fan, I'm ok with this. They've been working their butts off for 14 years. That's crazy.

I remember i watched the first episode and got me hooked, now only my wife has the time to watch. Just hope they extended the first few seasons on ghosts, vampires, werewolves, etc. rather than quickly jumping to the angels and demons thing than feels repetitive aroung season 7.

It's hit and miss....

There's a bunch of BBC content on there now that's going away in a few weeks. All the Disney stuff went a few months ago to Stan. But on the same time we get the CBS Access stuff on Au Netflix (the new Star Trek shows)

The Netflix original stuff is plentiful and a lot of it's very good.

The selection of movies is also pretty limited overall - not much back catalogue compared to a video store. It's better for more recent films, but heaps of films from the 2000s and the 90s aren't on streaming, and earlier than that it's even harder to find stuff.

My list of things to watch is still longer than I have time in the day to watch.

Paulbot sums it up really well. I like it for the most part. You have to try some different things from time to time to get the algorithm to recommend different things/genres to you or you get a bit locked in to only a few different types of shows/films that it recommends to you.

Currently watching Punisher series 1 ep8.

The Umbrella Academy
Bodyguard
Luther (although it think Netflix is missing the most recent season)
Daredevil
Jessica Jones (Season 1 only though - season 2 wasn’t great)
Luke Cage (mostly)
Star Trek: Discovery
Altered Carbon
I’ve heard good things about The Expanse but haven’t had a lot of time to check that one out.

[SharkyMcShark]

I've quite enjoyed watching The Good Place, all three seasons of which are on Netflix. Apparently the writers on it got in touch with the writers from Lost to figure out the best way to hook viewers into watching the next episode, and it shows. It's light and compelling viewing.

Black Books is an incredibly funny English comedy series from about 15 years ago which is all on Netflix.

I didn't mind watching the first season of Good Girls. It's trying desperately to be the new Breaking Bad and it's no where near that level, but I still found it quite watchable.

As far as animated shows go, Disenchanted is quite good viewing (same creator as The Simpsons and Futurama). The first episode is a bit middling, but the rest of it is quite strong. My fiance speaks quite highly of Final Space, though I've not had the chance to watch it myself. There's always Rick and Morty too, which is quite highly rated.

Black Mirror is a near future/sci fi anthology show. Think of it like extended episodes of the old Twilight Zone - each story is entirely self contained and you can watch them in more or less any order.

I couldn't get into Umbrella Academy. I watched the first episode (most of it twice actually) and it just didn't hook me. Ditto Altered Carbon. They're on my 'wait a while, give it another go' list.

I made it through The Expanse season 1. I'm no stranger to a bit of science fiction/space opera television (big fan of BSG and Firefly) but for me it was a bit convoluted.

If you’re over 18 and enjoy animation, I would recommend checking out: Love, Death + Robots

The Expanse is brilliant. One of the best shows going around. The first season was a bit slow but the second season rocked. I haven’t as yet watched the third season because it’s not on Netflix anymore.

[Shirokaze]

To add to the stuff everyone else has mentioned:
The Dragon Prince (Written by the Avatar people)

Watched the first 2 episodes of the new Ultraman on Netflix.

Not too shabby

[Sinnertwin]

Game of Thrones S8E1

With the exception of one scene of dialogue, stock standard establishing affair. Pretty meh, really.

[Meister]

Game of Thrones S8E1

With the exception of one scene of dialogue, stock standard establishing affair. Pretty meh, really.

The first episode is always pretty stock, they are traditionally used it to set the scene.

Having said that, I can’t help feel like it’s rushed. There may only be 6 episodes left with a lot to get through, but they don’t have to be exactly an hour. I don’t want more things to be covered, I just would have preferred that the interactions in the scenes were a bit more in depth as opposed to the 2 to 3 lines before moving on. There were some big reunions in there and it Feels like they are just ticking boxes which sort of cheapens the seasons of build up. Ever since the series over took the books, the dialogue and script has suffered.

[Sinnertwin]

I'm of the opposite opinion as far as it feeling rushed is. I felt the opening scene for example was far too padded & went on for too long. As for the other dialogues, some I felt were unnecessary and some felt like ooh, we need something else interesting happening over here too.
I was like, come on, we get it, cut the fat & move along.

[shockNwave]

Like this ep1 of GOT s8. Even though it is just mere scene setting that's taking place.

So to quote Gandalf from ROTK: "It's the deep breath before the plunge."

[High_Q]

Watched the first 2 episodes of the new Ultraman on Netflix.

Not too shabby

Yeah, i find it pretty enjoyable. The animation is fine too since i could easily tell the different characters apart (unlike Knights of Sidonia, which had an alright story but animated everyone to look the same:().

Also watching Gundam UC on Netflix. It's OK, but very complicated storyline, IMO.

I'm looking forward to the new Netflix TF series, and hope the animation is like Ultraman's.

[Autocon]

Cant watch GoT :( Missing out so hurts

[Autocon]

Netflix marvel. I can see why they wanted shorten seasons. Overall good but some were drawn out to fill the number of episodes per season. Iron Fist was the weakest one but great at the end with its advancements in story. I find the multiple series were too drama instead of comic book at times.

DC titans took a while to warm up. Hope there is a second season as it didnt resolve. Some continuity issues such as the car, outside fine, inside rain, outside fine again, placement of arms at different camera angles etc.. Black lightening i only just started but its a bit more miss than hit atm. I find dc cgi to be very woeful compared to marvel. The costumes in dc can be cosplay quality at times. Couldnt find doom patrol though i saw it in the list beforehand.

Bright was a b grade sifi slog. Interesting world building but story could have been better told. Good costumes.

Shinara chronicles. Watched coz had aussie actor. C grade? Fantasy show. Its ok fodder if nothing else is on.

Arrow has 6 seasons with 23 eps per season. Do i dare start the slog?

Star Trek Discovery was great. Good cgi, lil lost on the science but good thrill ride. Liked the characters and their evolutions but the gay doctor seemed shoe horned in at the end. Would recommend it if you are a trekky or like space shows.

After life by ricky gervias. Great show of loss and finding life again. Its a bit of a black/dark comedy.

[Raptormesh]

ST Discovery season 2 was bloody great. I didn't like the first season at all, and would probably score it a 4/10 but the second hits all the right notes at 9/10. Hell I would even rate the last two episodes better than the recent blockbuster movies.

[Autocon]

Umbrella Academy. Good show. Liked how the ending wasnt quite as i was expecting.

[Autocon]

Lego show is on now on channel nine.

[TaZZerath]

Supernatural's season 14 finale is on tonight. Very pumped for that :cool: sad that next season will be its last though :(

[shockNwave]

Just finished watching GOT ep3 "The Long Night" and :eek::D! If I'm going to try and compare this episode to "Battle Of The Bastards" (S6 ep9)…..then first up the former is about an 1hr and 30mins. and the latter is about an hour. The former consists of one great big siege and battle. The latter consists of two battles (the first for Slavers Bay and the second for Winterfell).

Both these episodes are of such high quality that they're impossible to separate and too different to each other to be properly compared. So at this point in time I have to give both of them the equal ranking of best GOT episode.:D

[BigTransformerTrev]

Lego show is on now on channel nine.

First reality show I've given a chance to in about a decade since the rest of my family wanna watch it. Isn't too bad - that guy that called himself a DILF needs a LEGO bullet to the head though :p

I quite like all the construction. I just wish they would spend more time showing them building rather than cutting to shots of them talking in some green room, especially when they keep telling us what the project is. We KNOW what the project is, we don't need reminding after every ad break!

I loved that show, sadly I lost track of it around season 10.


Really annoyed they were showing double episodes of The Good Place on the ABC and then stopped half way through season 2. Hope they bring it back on at some point.

[i_amtrunks]

Really annoyed they were showing double episodes of The Good Place on the ABC and then stopped half way through season 2. Hope they bring it back on at some point.

Almost worth getting Netflix for Good Place alone. Brooklyn 99 also makes paying for a solitary month of Netflix to burn through worth it.

I enjoyed the Legomasters show more than I thought, but I agree Trev, more time on the construction, and then more on 360 degree displays so we can really see everything. I've recorded Monday and Tuesday (tonight's) episodes and will try to watch throughout the week. I really wish it wasn't elimination, more of a score based thing and the team with the best score at the end won. That way we'd get more awesome builds because every team is incredibly talented and the pool diverse.

GoT The Long Night was a series of amazing (but very dark) battles interspersed with dumb characters doing dumb things, which only heightened the tension. There was one death that I think got everyone, but was awesome overall. The ending is what I expected from the show, and I am happy with it. There are a few whingers online (I know!, Who'd have thought!) but I think they have been too wrapped up in their fan theories and forgot that the ending was the culmination of that characters journey and what they grew into.
I am sure the book will go the same ending for this battle, but the path to it, and many of the final players will be very different. (If Martin somehow gets to finish the books, which I personally doubt.)

[shockNwave]

Finally have seen the final episode of GOT. There are fans who are disappointed with how the series ends and are demanding a reshoot of the final season. Well, they should accept that there was going to be a massive body count of beloved characters and accept that what looks like a cast iron goodie can turn into a baddie (and vice versa) at any given moment.

Such is the world of GOT and I love it!:D

[TaZZerath]

Anyone seen the Chernobyl miniseries??? By Primus its fantastic. Highly recommended.

[Paulbot]

I believe that show is about the cover up right? Doesn’t have anything about the true story of Russian scientists experimenting with Cybertronian technology.

[TaZZerath]

It has a shockwave but not the one we all know and love :D

Yeah the initial cover up is shocking and so sad to watch a bunch of ignorant people in denial in such a catastrophe. It’s worse than a horror film.

A bit late but I’m giving Titans a go. I didn’t have high hopes. I thought it would disappear up it’s own arse with how edgy and dark it was trying to be but so far so good.

[M-bot]

A bit late but I’m giving Titans a go. I didn’t have high hopes. I thought it would disappear up it’s own arse with how edgy and dark it was trying to be but so far so good.

It pretty much did disappear up its own arse for mine. It teetered for a while and then there was an episode (how to discuss it without spoilers?) where a new version of one of the characters comes along and my word, is it an edgelord mess. Just trying SO. DAMNED. HARD. and hitting nothing but purile drivel.

Let us know if your view changes over the course. Some interesting metaphorical stuff in the last episode was interesting but not enough to redeem the series for me.

[shockNwave]

Just finished watching Good Omens and it's hilarious. I would expect nothing less from a team-up between Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Sadly it's too short at six episodes so I hope there's a second season.

Highly recommended (especially if you're a Monty Python fan).

With the American. :p

Just finished watching The Boys on Amazon. It’s rare for me to stick to the end of a season on most shows but this was brilliant. Loved it. Other worthy mentions whilst I’m here is DC Titans, Ozark and Stranger Things 3. Still cant get into The Umbrella Academy.

[gamblor916]

I halfway through The Boys. I agree it's brilliant. Take note DC this is how you do comics based TV.

Also take note Emmy's Award Committee because this series and Karl Urban are deserving of nominations.

BTW I've so far identified that:
1. Homelander = Superman & Captain America
2. Queen Maeve = Wonder Woman
3. The Deep = Aquaman
4. Black Noir = Snake Eyes
5. A-train = The Flash & Quicksilver
6. Translucent = Er......Invisible Woman/Sue Richards
7. Starlight = I'm yet to place her:confused:

Keep in mind I am talking about appearance and powers. Definitely not personality.

Finished watching season 3 of A Handmaid's Tale. This dark, suspenseful series is getting less dark after this season.

From what I read of her powers she's probably a Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel type. There's a member of the Legion of Superheroes with similar powers too but she's much more obscure

[griffin]

I loved Mythbusters and all, but having three spin-off shows on TV here at about the same time (and re-runs of the original show) is a bit much.

Mythbusters Junior - features about 6 teenagers (re)testing myths with Adam as the main host (produced this year, so is the newest of the three shows, but no word on a second series yet).

Mythbusters The Search - a mini-series of mostly old myths to find new hosts for the "new" show, from a field of about 12, with one being eliminated most episodes. (no original cast involved - filmed 2 years ago, and it looks like they've already done two seasons of the new regular show with the new hosts, but nothing this year, so maybe it ended?)

White Rabbit Project - has the 3 original "Build Team" secondary hosts (Grant, Tory, Kari), produced by Netflix about 3 years ago, but doesn't appear to have gone beyond one series.


One show to check out for a laugh is "8 out of 10 cats does Countdown", on SBS a couple night per week.
It is a UK show, which has the comedy team from the show "8 out of 10 cats" (a comedy game show about statistics), doing the game-show "Countdown" (usually a serious game about words and numbers). It's been on for a few months now, and SBS have just started showing episodes of the original "8 out of 10 cats" on Tuesday nights as well... but I think their Countdown show is better.

Recently finished watching The Loudest Voice (starring Russell Crowe and Naomi Watts). It's about Roger Ailes, the filthy psychopath who turned Fox News into the horrid Goebbels power that it is today:mad:. The price the greedy Murdochs pay for letting this bully into their bed is all the p%#$ and s!@* stains all over the sheets that they'll never be able to cover up and it serves them right. There's now going to be a movie as well.

Arrowverse. I am not familiar with lore or stories. Dont read the comics or anything.

Green Arrow: The best of the shows but lack any heroes with actual super powers. The character portrays like a batman figure with lost parents fighting crime. Some things are not thought out with GA shooting an arrow in the middle of nothing and swinging away. What has the arrow hit?! Some of the fight scenes could have been better choroed.

Flash: Deals with more super powers and threats. Cgi could be better. Season four was very comical with a lot of humour. Toned down in season five with a better balance. GA is darker so they wanted this to be lighter in tone and more fun. Second best show.

Legends of Tomorrow: Time travel fun. More out there and unique as it visits different periods in time. Again cgi can be better. The boss fight at the end of season four with the totems is very surprising. Its a bit quirky but i like that.

Supergirl: Deals with a lot of space threats which i didnt know existed in lore. Cgi needs work like the other series. Its hard to create threats to rival supergirl.

Pros: fun tv shows, most of the real world translations work. The crossover between shows makes it feel like a bigger universe.

Cons: cgi needs work, fight scenes can be lacking where people just jump up after the main fight is done or stand around ready to be whacked. Some stupid things like arrow shooting flying fox arrows with nothing attached at the end. So its more like a swing..? The crossovers are hard to follow unless you watch in order but watching series by series can be disjointed. I watched part two in Arrow then part four in Legends etc as I watched Arrow first.

Overall passable and pleasant to watch ignoring some of the shoddy cgi scenes. Marvel tv shows were drawn out but were better.

[1AZRAEL1]

The Arrowverse crossovers are good but trying to watch them in order is hard to actually do. One of the upcoming one's has some great cameo coming. I won't say who just in case you don't want it spoiled.

Watch DC Titans for a darker hero series, and is quite good. Doom Patrol is a spin off show for that too.

Watched Good Omens, The Boys, and now Disenchantment part 2. So far so good.

[Autocon]

Ah yes it slipped my mind, edited with crossovers now mentioned.

The boys is what i really want to see. Hopefully the dvd rental store is still there when its released.

If you side with Team Iron Man then you'll love The Boys. But if you're more for Team Captain America then......it's best you decide.

I loved The Boys. Cannot wait for second season. Some recogniseable faces too. Being Team Iron Man or Team Cap to me makes little difference.

Into season 4 of brooklyn nine nine. Thought it might be canned laughter or clown comedy way out there but its actually believable and funny. First two seasons were the best so far

Just finished watching Harley Quinn (voiced by Kaley Cuoco) and I can see now see where Margo Robbie drew her inspiration for Birds Of Prey. By the way, Poison Ivy is quite a scene stealer at times. If you like Daria (from Beavis and Butthead) then you'll like Ivy.

The last few months of SBS playing Xfiles every night (and the two movies), has finally paid off, with the new season episodes starting tonight, which should mean I finally get to see the final season, as it never played on free-to-air. We had the second last season (6 episodes) play on one of the networks, but they never ended up playing the final season of 10 episodes.
I read that it doesn't have a great ending, or even a proper ending, but after almost 30 years since I started watching the show, I'll finally get to see every episode soon.

The ending is great, Griffin! It also happens to be one of the most shocking things ever, and one of the most horrific things ever happened in the entire series!

The final episode was on Thursday, and it was a suitable ending. A fair bit was retconned, but that made the closure better. Some of the episodes in the final season was a little weird, and very little conspiracy or alien episodes.
The first episode was really confusing, trying to work out how much of the final episode of the previous season was just a vision, and what was not. I really wonder if it was originally planned as a vision when the second last season was being written and filmed, or if it was just a retcon after they got renewed for another season.
I think it is best to remain ended now. Anything more will just ruin it more.

[shockNwave]

Recently finished watching The Witcher and considering this series must contend with Game of Thrones comparisons it has forged an impressive path of it's own.
It's done this by putting more emphasis on the fantasy and less on the history-inspired intrigue. As a result the viewer receives a whopping amount of monsters and magic.

I've really been enjoying re-watching Star Trek Enterprise in the afternoons on channel 12 (10-Bold). It was such a shame that it was cancelled after four seasons, as it would have a lot of tie-ins and easter eggs with the original series.
It was also nice timing to have the Original Series episode "The Tholian Web" screening today on the same channel, just a couple days after the Enterprise episodes that were a sequel to it (the starship Defiant disappearing from the Tholian Web, being found in the Mirror Universe of the Enterprise series).

[DELTAprime]

I just binge-watched Star Trek Picard over the last two days. I really prefer the TNG, DS9 and Voyager bright future for humanity. But despite Picard being a darker take on Trek I really did like it.

Not sure if people remember the 90's tv series Renegade. Damn, a laugh a minute & it's action not comedy. :D

The main character is framed for a crime he didn't commit. On the run from the Law, he goes from town to town to right the wrongs of those who gone bad. Throw in a few eye candy ladies for good, cheesy measure. If you're sober watching this, you need to grab a bottle of double strength Vodka quick fast!
