Didn't notice any lesbianism in Ep1.
It talks about the boy/girl being in love/lovers so not sure where you got that from.

oh ok, i thought the two on the promo pics where ladies, hence the lesbian suggestion.

is it still all teenage angst/aimed at the twilight crowd?

I've just watched the first 2 of Cloak and Dagger, looks promising. I think some of the filming is done well with some nice atmospheric parts.

I think the pace will pick up as we discover more. I've not read anything about them because I want to develop along with the characters and learn about their powers as they do.

Beyond the films I only watch Agents of Shield so I'm not saturated with Marvel stuff. I've tried a few other Marvel things though and given up on them but hopefully this one will make me stick with it.

Just watched the first episode of Vikings. Hopefully will be good but we'll see.

Not via Prime, but at additional cost, there are now a lot more 4K movies available on Fire TV, and the price has dropped considerably.

Interestingly, the Fire TV complains about a lack of HDCP 2.2 when ordering a 4K movie - has never done so about Prime 4K TV content (Bosch, American Gods etc) but will play at 4K once selected.

Just watched Lawrence of Arabia in 4K via this route - been many years since I watched it, absolutely stunning. However, the dark screen instrumental prelude did have me wondering if the HDCP issue was actually real....

Vikings is epic, all I have to say is "Blood Eagle"

Bit late to the party but, I've started watching American Gods. It is a very strange show and I find myself wondering what on earth I'm watching half the time. But, despite that, it looks amazing and I'm actually really enjoying it.

It certainly is strange but it's one of the best tv shows I've seen ever. Watched it again recently and it's still just as good. Even the intro is superb.

I agree it was a fantastic show, took me a a few episodes to gather what the hell was going on but it’s a great storyline.
Can’t wait for S2.

S3 of Enter The Badlands is on now, enjoying that.

S6 of The Americans has popped up and S3 of Animal Kingdom, both good so far
I've just gone to watch S6 of The Americans because I've loved it so far, and it's asking me to pay £18.99 for it???

Is this the same for everyone?

Goliath.

Absolutely brilliant going a bit more hardcore, very disturbing stuff, but damn good.

All or Nothing: New Zealand All Blacks, not surprisingly it follows the same format as the NFL versions. Still quite interesting to get a behind the scenes look at the team though.

Edit - Just realised it has been mentioned, so I am late to the party!

Rage of Bahumat: Virgin Soul

An anime set in a quasi-medieval world with humans, demons, angels, magic, and technology, about a young girl who turns into a dragon at inopportune times.

It started out ok, but became increasingly nonsensical as the characters' motivations became more and more inconsistent, contradictory, and illogical. And, in the end, the conclusion was an entirely avoidable and pointless war.

Not entirely sure how I stuck it out for all 24 episodes, to be honest.

I suspect you'll just have to chalk it up to Jap weirdness - I've started trying to watch Vampire Hotel. Be-and indeed-zaaaaar!!

Great shout. Season 2 of Preacher is some of the best TV I've watched in recent years. Hopefully Season 3 can live up to it.

Westworld. Brilliant! Never seen it before so will now have to check out the tv series as I believe it's pretty good...
