Too much background noise going on with teenagers last night, so I'm gonna have to WestWorld that again. And that post credit scene. Sheeesh.

Hmm - each time I saw Arnolds house it reminded me of the Frank Lloyd Wright house used in Bladerunner for Deckards apartment.

Turns out it was one of his other designs in LA.



Cool. Mixing it up with robots to a whole 'nother level Mr Nolan.

Nice catch!

The season finale of The Expanse delivered. So much action and emotion! Roll on season four.

I get what you're saying, she definitely has an angry, impulsive streak. I haven't read the book though, so I guess I'm lucky I don't have a preconceived image of her.

I'll do you one better: Why is America?


It was a cringe-fest on par with what I expected with a couple of laugh out loud "I can't believe they're serious" moments, but I'm not sure if i'll watch the future episodes. Too much second hand embarrassment for me to cope with.

Watched the first few episodes of Netflix's 'Final Space' last night.

Loads of high profile names like Tom Kenny, John DiMaggio, David Tennant, Conan O'Brien. Heavily influenced by Rick & Morty and Futurama.
I liked it, but didn't love it.

Yep

Borat was great as a side character to Ali G, but the movie was just too much. As expected, didn't even get through the first episode of 'Who Is America' before turning it off.

Loved the Ron Jorgenson reference in last nights Westside.

For the younger ones - Bassett Road machine gun murders:

Nice one.
Anyone know of any (fan) sites that might list the references to either NZ past or the Outrageous Fortune future.

I feel like there are many little things that I miss.

I'm enjoying Castle Rock so far.. I'm actually surprised at just how many Stephen King books I've read and movies I've watched, so the connections are a bit buzzy!

Looks good, but I'm calling it now, they're either going to develop superpowers, or they're really all dead and in purgatory.

Enjoying Jessica Jones S02, but I don’t think it’s up with S01. Tennant’s Kilgrave was fnawesome and really lifted the show.

Ah, good to know. I stopped watching towards the end, didn't like where it was heading. I was thinking of finishing it, but now I won't bother.

Which is a real shame, as you say, season one was really good.

Yep. One of those seasons (Supergirl S04 comes to mind) where I hate the characters, the show, and myself for watching all the way to the end.

The worst bit was Kilgrave makes a reappearance! well, as a sort of psychotic hallucination, but Tennant showed up for 2 eps and owned it up hard and I was all "fuck this is going to be an epic leadup to the finale" and it just totally sucked.

Most watched beeb drama for like 10 years or something.

We really enjoyed it, Rob Stark was pretty good in this. Could've ended better, but a solid watch.

Has anyone watched The Last Ship?

I watched the first few episodes, thought it was okay, but then I think the Expanse or something came out, and didn't got back to it. But it's got five seasons now, someones got to be enjoying it.

It's watchable cheese. Dont expect to gain any brain cells from watching it.

Hmmmm... maybe. I'll probably get upset about the details.

The Haunting of Hill House is getting some decent accolades. Might get the flatmates to watch it.

You might want to skip the article if you're into horrors, go in blind anticipating something decent.

Not sure if Maniac has been mentioned here or not. Solid watch, quite enjoyed it. Jonah Hill has far more range than I ever gave him credit for. Not quite the mind fuck I expected, but still enough to keep you thinking

I'm finding it hard to get into, mostly because I dislike Jonah Hill tbh, so I've only made it through the first couple of episodes. Will persist though lol

Sometimes shit can turn out.

But, I feel the same about Jonah Hill. I only enjoyed him in This Is the End because his character was supposed to be... unflattering.

It's not that I don't like it, I just know that when I really love a show, I want to binge watch all episodes.. with this one, I have to be in the mood to watch Jonah's face.. which is never. But I like the idea of the show.

Maniac had literally every ingredient to be interesting but ended up pretty average imo.

Just finished up s2 of Snowfall. Hope there's a 3rd. Not a hit by any means but some good characters in there.

Been watching American Vandal.. It's a fictional investigative documentary, heavily influenced by the successful "Serial" podcast. I've really enjoyed it.

"This is gonna take way more than just ball hairs."

A flatmate is obsessed with true crime trash. This seems about as real as that.

I really enjoyed Mr Inbetween. Only 6 episodes about 20-23 mins each. A sort of dark-comedy about an Australian professional hitman who tries to juggle his criminal and home life.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7472896/

Don't watch the trailer if you can help it, the shows so short the trailer is basically a series recap. Easy watch, you can binge it in just a couple of hours. Just been renewed for Season 2 as well.
