I was a bit indifferent about The Tick and also turned off I love Dick. Don't think I'll bother with Jean Claude after watching the trailer

If I didn't know better I'd have thought JCVJ was a spoof idea to pad things out. Apparently not. Just makes you wonder what they rejected...

I really enjoyed that, 2nd series is really good too, starts off with the main character driving a stealth bomber through town to go to the supermarket biggrin

Haven is an American-Canadian supernatural drama television series loosely based on the Stephen King novel The Colorado Kid (2005). The show deals with strange events in a fictional town in Maine named Haven,

Really liking this. I suppose its a bit X files, man and lady looking into why odd things are happening

Bosch - Fantastic. Cannot wait for next season.
Mr Robot - Gets slow but then picks right up again
The Americans - This one is absolutely class. It's very edgy and the acting is outstanding from the two main characters. It really makes you want to learn more about Soviet History.
Preacher - Liked it but only because of that guy that played Rudy in misfits. He's class.


Smiler.

Watched The Good Lie (film) last week. Very thought provoking & overall enjoyable (if that's the right term).

8/10


Also watched A Walk in the Woods (film) a few weeks back. Again, enjoyed it. 7/10

Binge watched Bosch after having read all the books over the years, one of my favourite characters and the TV adaption is as good as you can adapt I think - very impressed although I imagined Bosch differently and you can never get into the thinking like the books; but pace, story, atmosphere....they've done a great job.

I think Bosch Amazon TV Series, the first series was good, the second was absolutely brilliant.

Only read 1 Bosch book, this series makes me want to read more smile

Other way around for me. Loved the first but thought season 2 was a bit flat.

I watched all of that and really liked it, even if it did get rather confusing in the last couple of series. I used to get annoyed though at the thought that it looked like a really nice place to visit, but sadly would be full of Americans in real life.

Then I discovered they actually filmed it in Canada, so I might go and visit one day. smile

I'm 3 episodes into Braindead. Its a political satire / alien invasion / bodysnatchers type thing that looks fairly promising so far.

I think it was mainly filmed in and around Chester, Nova Scotia. Wouldn't mind visiting it myself.

Mine you if I want to visit filming locations then Guadeloupe where Death in Paradise was filmed would be near to the top of the list.

I've binged on Prime for ages whilst commuting.

SOA - I thought this was excellent, beginning to end. It just gets more and more fked up.
Hell On Wheels - only one series in so far but also great
Preacher - completely bonkers but very watchable
Bosch - best thing I've watched on Prime so far
Hand of God - roll on series 2. Loved this
Walking Dead - need season 6 to come out. The last season bored me a bit but I feel like I need to finish it now
The Fall - if you didn't see it on TV this is Defo worth a watch. Lead actors are excellent
