I'm going to have to check that out!
Has anyone here mentioned Hanna yet? On Amazon Prime? It was pretty entertaining! Wonder if there will be a season 2?

Hanna is terrific. I have to give some of the storyline a B- and I found a bit of the music overbearing.
Can't wait for Billions to have enough episodes released to binge Season 4...

Half way thru Hannah and enjoying it. The original movie it is based on was good also. Looking forward to the second half of the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina later this month

Just started watching a new series on SyFy channel here in UK.
It's called "Project Blue Book" and it's about the US Air Force investigations of UFOs (Flying Saucers) in 1950s. The main characters are Dr Nyek who is an Astrophysicist and is trying to work out what really is happening, and a US Air Force captain who is trying to explain all the sightings away (as per Official Policy). It looks pretty cool - especially now the "Men In Black" have turned up.
Trivia tip - you may have heard of the rock band "The Foo Fighters". The name Foo Fighters was the term used by US Pilots at the end of the Second World War (and 50s) for the unexplained lights that whizzed past them on combat missions. They could have been extra-terrestrial, but the official explanation was that they were prototypes of advanced aircraft that the Germans had developed towards the end of the War!

It has taken a while (it was recorded in 2012) but Eric Idle's What About Dick is on Netflix and is as hilarious as it is star-studded.

I'm amost done with season 2 of the Tick on Amazon. I loved the cartoon in the nineties but thought the live action show in 2001 was just ok. The new series I am really enjoying. The Tick is definitely the weirdest superhero out there. If you like your superheroes weird, funny and for the most part insane give it a shot.

Yeah, Rokkerr....everyone probably isn't feeling it now since we know about Jon and Danaerys and who they really are.
Besides, episode 3 is going to be madness...maybe we'll see nudity in episode 4 or 5.
I'm watching a few shows on Netflix right now...
Black Summer. The prequel spin off of Z Nation. It's okay so far. It may get better as time goes on. LOVED Z Nation. A comedic version of the zombie apocalypse.
Santa Clarita Diet. Another zombie show but this one is also funny. It's on it's 3rd season right now.
The OA. This show is reaaaallly good. It's a lot to explain here but watch it!

I think the HBO showrunners are firmly in control of the writers for this season since we passed George RR Martin's storyline in the books. Dude was definitely into describing the sex scenes in his writings.
Frankly I'm a bit disappointed with the 2 episodes we've gotten so far, but 9 times out of 10 the last season of
any show is going to be a let down. I hope they can change my opinion in the last few episodes, but I remain skeptical. Hard to believe this story I started in 1999 is finally about to conclude.

The first two episodes should have been condensed into one in my opinion... hitting episode 3 tonight!
... If any of you are up for a solid British drama of British people with posh accents playing French people.. the remake of Les Miserables on Amazon is quite awesome...

Netflix just added season 4 of Lucifer. It was a Fox show that they cancelled after ending season 3 on a cliff hanger but Netflix picked it up. Season 4 is only 10 episodes so the over arching season story line proceeds at a better pace than they usually do with a 20 episode season. They ended the season in a way that makes a decent series ending if they do not do a season 5 but leaves enough to explore if it does get another season

So I hit Game of Thrones Current season... episode 3.. the big battle. Kind of disappointed. Hard to see and predictable ending. Episode 4 much better with some surprising twists I thought...

Don't doubt there is, I just don't watch much stuff other than wrestling, my late aunt constantly watched tv and it burned me out on anything, giving up stuff other than wrestling has actually been a good thing for me.
Besides, episode 3 is going to be madness...maybe we'll see nudity in episode 4 or 5.
