Television, drug of the nation

So the new season of Halt and Catch Fire seems to be boringly tedious and melodramatic.

Banshee just gets more and more ridiculous.

I see Idris Elbow has a new driving programme out, the adverts for which are beginning to irritate.

good interview with Roberto Saviano the author of Gomorrah who has written a new book on cocaine business

First Mr Robot was pretty good, watching the next one now.

Rick and morty

I'm enjoying the new Alan Titchmarsh series, episode 2 was very inspiring.

Yep, TD is shiiit so far

Gave up after 2.5 episodes. Just had no idea WTF was going on really, which is kind of important.

Mr Robot is dead good, turning into geek fight club.

Can't wait for the new season!

Ooh, is it soon?

End of the month.

Although I think the first two episodes may have been leaked?

True Detective Season 2. I totally agree. Impenetrable, as Greenhell wrote. Couldn't find a better adjective.

However, if you trial it for 4 episodes you might not understand it any better but it gets a shit-load more exciting.

it suffers from a script that presumes the audience is au fait with EVERY character after one scene. it's extremely frustrating trying to picture who the fuck people are talking about without their faces / motivations having sunk into your brain just yet.

i'll give it another whirl. maybe i'll start from the beginning again. the first series was faultless.

The thing i'm struggling with is the whole, city / state / county thing.

They keep referring to various parties who are investigating each other or mad at each other etc and it's still a little confusing when that part of the story is developing.

Other than that, i'm pretty sure i'm up to speed on what's going on after the first 4 episodes.

^ & ^^ sounds like you are describing one episode of compass drinks and the lfgss krew

Love Rick and Morty

7 Days in Hell was excellent.

Just finished watching Sense8.

Took a while to get into it, and now I'm completely hooked, especially the huge diversity of characters in the show.

It passes the time but nothing happens. Watch Mr Robot instead.

People Just Do Nothing is back on. Filmed in @Velocio's ends..

the first series was faultless.

Apart from the last episode... Need to watch again...

re-watching BB as Mrs EB hasn't seen it, got her into Better Call Saul and she was well up for BB - just as good second time round
