Correct. Episode 4 is airing tonight in the US.

Yep, still 2 to go this week and next. Holding out hope Harris will battle a radioactive sludge monster

Watching on HBO's own streaming app and they haven't released episode 4 yet. Don't know where Dino is seeing it. Anyway, it's grim but great. Greamt.

I've also been rooting through the survivor accounts and it seems the show is on the ball, more or less, about almost everything.

Watching a lot right now.

Final season of parks and rec
The deuce season 1

Mm, I saw some critique from experts suggesting it was overstating the initial impact but bar some artistic license which you'd expect, the numbers would seem to stack up. Helty skelty skin all melty.

FYI re the continued saga of vpn: we're sorted.

For those who care, there is still solid ways to do Netflix etc from wherever.

Is this Steven king based and if so where is it on?

Unlikely

Sky

Unlikely

Fuck Sky.

I haven't seen episode 5, there are 5 available on sky to download. I've downloaded all 5 and on episode 3.

Edit: that's wrong. Just checked I have 3 epsiodes, episode 4 tonight and episode 5 next week. Stupid sky box.

Season 1 of The Expanse. Really enjoyed it.

Been looking for something to scratch the Babylon 5 itch. This probably won’t do that going forward but the early episodes in the space station had a lot of similarities. Which was enough to get the hooks in.

Haven’t read the books so no expectations either, which is nice.

Season 2 after my Line of Duty bingeing ends.

I'm three episodes in. Thoughts so far.

It's very very SK. If you've read most of the books and consider yourself a fan then you'll probably love it from the references. So far references to The Body (stand by me) and Rita Hayworth (Shawshank) and alot of it is centered around the latter. A dial on a radio read 100.3 which I could hear in my head in that opening sequence of stand by me which is KLM radio

. So lots of stuff like that. You should read the Dark Half and Needful things before this as one of the main characters is Alan Pangborn (the sheriff).

The story is slow and dark, much like most of his books. I imagine it will ramp up or crescendo like the shining or something at some point. Lots of general creepy moments. I don't want scary stuff and so it's on the edge for me.

If you're not into stephen king then it's just a twisted, interesting story so far. But you just won't get any of the references which nicely link into the SK universe he has created.

I can update you more later as i'll watch two more episodes before the day is out.

Planets by Brian Cox was everything I wanted.
The mix of Brian Cox, peaceful CG and smart people talking on their expertise is perfect.

A brilliant antidote for anyone who may be feeling bogged down by the political climate. A timely reminder that we ain't shit.

Just watched the first episode of I Think You Should Leave and that is very much my jam. Struggling to breathe during the baby show sketch.

I enjoyed that more than I'm willing to admit. There are a couple sketches in the later episodes that aren't quite as good, but it was still good fun.

Howdy, Stranger!
