Television, drug of the nation

BTW, at least with WhatsApp the claim is that all of my chats are encrypted end to end and are not readable by WhatsApp and, by extension, Facebook.

Sony are the originators of this shit aren't they?

Their OG DRM checker was literally straight out of the 1984 playbook, secretly install a checker that is constantly monitoring everything you do in case you decide to listen to something you haven't paid for.

No. Samba.tv are.

They are selling their spyware to every smart TV manufacturer... make and model do not matter. Only whether the hardware is under your control or not.

I meant Sony did this back in 2005, it might be Samba.tv doing it now but it's not something new.

I assume this kind of thing isn't (yet) intelligent enough to see what you're watching if you're not using the services on the tv (so using Kodi/Plex on a separate box, separate TV tuner, etc).

(Although I still have a plasma tv so a fair bit behind this kind of stuff.)

Thanks for the heads up, I just watched the first one.

At first I thought it was a bit average, but then you see how it grows and grows and realise how hugely talented he is. Looking forward to the next three.

Urban Myths on sky are rather amusing (only watched a couple but am LOLing a fair bit)

Anyone seen Wild Wild Country on Netflix? It's absolutely bonkers and I've never heard about any of it before.

Marvel Runaways is showing now on SFX, the first two episodes are good, a slow burner

Lost in Space is cack.

I liked it, but I'm a sucker for space stuff. Didn't get into runaways.

Late to the party, but half way through The Night Of, which is brilliant. I don't think Richard Price has ever put a foot wrong in his writing and screen-writing life.

Westworld S2 ep1 felt a bit of a major filler to me.....typical season 2 stretch the storyline to the next ad break (i'm looking at you LOST!)

You're a bitter Anthony Hopkins AICMFP.

Like he's not coming back at some point...

Currently rewatching Legion season 1, so I can remember what tf happened, before starting on season 2.

Highly recommend 'The Sinner' on Netflix. It's the first series in a long while which has really gripped me and wanted to immediately watch the next episode.

britain had a new monarch, king edward, who despite his name wasn't a potato, he was a man

philomena cunk - cunk on britain

Westworld S2 ep1 felt a bit of a major filler to me.

Yup I don't hold out much hope from here on in.....

Does it get better? The first couple of episodes are iffy. Too much focus on the kids and their terrible acting (I realise it’s a kids show).

They recap quite well in the first episode without it being shit.

Does it get better?

I think the first episode was the best out of the entire season. It's pretty fun if you don't except groundbreaking TV. I liked the visuals and the music the most. Keep in mind like you said that it's a PG12 family show basically.

Dunno if it got better, it was a fun sci-fi space thing though, had lasers and hawking radiation and robots and poo powered spaceships, I enjoyed the whole thing.

Been watching Lost In Space and it’s starting to feel a bit like Lost, in space.

It is bad, isn't it?
