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

Sometimes the conspiracy stuff gets a bit boring, but I've found the "pretending to be someone else" situations always entertaining.Quote:

Lucifer :cool:
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.
so damn good, couldn't agree more! :)Quote:

Another vote for Stranger Things
Binge watched it cause I couldn't stop
After 5 eps I can't recommend this.Quote:

The final season of Mythbusters 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
I'm really enjoying 'The Katering Show' on Wednesdays on the ABC.
Funniest women on tv! :D
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 :)
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).
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.Quote:

Not all reboots are bad. I really enjoy Hawaii Five-0 and Battlestar Galactica reboots.
They did, it's called Burn Notice. Watch that instead!Quote:

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...
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).
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.Quote:

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
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, of 41 episodes, and I think only season 1 ended up showing here on free-to-air.
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.
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
LOL! 10 points for that joke!Quote:

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).Quote:

All of the Digital channels are doing that, and it really annoys me... as if it will attract attention like a "new" sticker on a food item at the grocery store.Quote:
