I was a bit harsh with Cowboy Beebop, got much better after the first eposide.

Have you seen the original anime series?

I hope the casting for Faye is good, my favourite character

See you, Space Cowboy

[Uncle fester]

Anyone watching Wheel of Time?
Two episodes in. It's a bit shonky in places but I was expecting an unwatchable disaster and it's a good bit away from that.

It could be shite casting for all I know, but it doesn't matter. Danielle Pineda is a babe.

It’s getting better at e4

My family know exactly when I'm binge watching the latest Narcos because I start muttering Mexican Spanish curse words. Chingar! Puta madre! And then tell them to tranquilo if they say anything.

I did the same. Spanish is a great language to swear in

Cowboy Bebop gooonnneee

Final season? Heavy TV spoiler from books - do not read if you haven't read 'Babylon's Ashes'

Spoiler

Show

So they will tie up the story with the end of the Free Navy and apparent death of Marcos. I have 'Persepolis Rising' but don't know where they are going with the story from there

Final Season (6) of The Expanse starts today.

Watched it. Was ok, but not a lot of movement in E1. But think it’s probably worth saving it up for a binge.

[FalseBayFC]

Finished Season 2 of Manhunt with Martin Clunes who is top notch again. I really like the 4 episode format. Its a seriously accomplished piece of TV.

[Gumboot]

Landscapers is good, but the stellar cast and writing fails to compensate for its uninteresting story. imo.

[Ymx]

Succession is wrapping up nicely. A couple more episodes to go, starting tomorrow.

Brilliant script writing IMO. But not shared by many on here it seems. Logan Roy (Brian Cox) is brilliantly cast.

No longer subscribe to Now TV so don't have the chance to watch it any more...but do miss it

Yeah.. I only manged to tolerate it for a few episodes... just an annoying show...

It is... helps that it's based on real events. But very well done... proof you don't need silly Line of Duty twists to make crime shows watchable...

Didn’t rate line of duty much. Good enough for season 1, but was meh.

Manhunt seems alright, actually watching it (season 2) right now. No idea how, but I never recalled the night stalker on local news at the time. Especially odd given how prolific this guy seems to be just watching it now.

Have you watched the Stephen Lawrence one with Steve Coogan? Also very good.

It also made me think about how much easier it would be to catch violent crims if there was a database of every adult's DNA. In third world South Africa we have fairly advanced biometrics of every citizen. I took my daughter in to get her ID card yesterday and they took all her fingerprints. DNA would be easy to take but I guess quite expensive to process.

A lot of cold cases in the States are now being solved through familial DNA matches on genealogy websites.

The Witcher has dropped on Netflix full season 2.

Yep. Its how they caught the Golden State killer iirc.

[Jock42]

Really enjoyed it. Didn't think my partner would enjoy but she was hooked after the first episode.

That’s one to watch without CMOS as she can’t cope with anything violent. Had PTSD after series 1 of breaking bad

Btw really enjoyed Showtrial.

Haha definitely. Could never get into BB

[Jock42]

Gleaming, was assuming it was being drip fed with an episode every week.

[Sandstorm]

The Leftovers. Fuck, it’s weird and also wonderful!

[yermum]

The Leftovers. Fuck, it’s weird and also wonderful!

Such a good series. The nuclear bunker ep is wild

[Jock42]

Has anyone watched 'For All Mankind'? A few episodes in and whilst I'm enjoying it enough it could be a bit grittier and tackle the social issues a bit more.

[sefton]

Saving that for a day over the holidays, the missus loved season one.

Season 1 was great, s2 was ok, overall I like it, interesting counterfactual scenario.

Thanks both for the tip. Never heard of it before.

Working through it. Pretty good watch so far.
For anyone familiar with the Vereena + Nivellen, the show has done it quite well. Vereena is proper freaky.

[sockwithaticket]

Only watched the first ep so far. For those further in, have they fully dispensed with unheralded timeline jumping? That really annoyed me in season 1.

As an aside, I will always have a weakness for dark haired women with pale skin, but you know it's been a long old pandemic when you're sat there thinking 'You know, Nivellan's not wrong. I'd probably let her bite my throat too'

Is that Vereena? I can't watch the show as don't have Netflix but I remember slightly this from the books. And yes they are reported as addressing the issues fans had with the timeline jumps

I think there's a 3rd now.

It is indeed.

Thanks for that, I haven't really read much about it because I'm not a huge Witcher fan; never played the games or read the books, but I do like monsters so, as it's there and I'm still paying for Netflix, I'll watch it.

UK police used to have one the largest DNA databases in the world, but in 2013 over 7.5 m DNA samples and 1.7 m DNA profiles were removed from the database in order to protect individual rights.

The Yellowstone origin series 1883 is out. Sam Elliot being grizzled and awesome. Its a Larry McMurtry Lonesome Dove type Western. Very well done.

Yes, she is very savage looking on a show with a decent collect of savage looking ladies.
