Television, drug of the nation

Watched Easy on Netflix the other night, as a whole its pretty decent, typical mumblecore stuff. Shame Hannibal Burress is only in the one episode and does fuck all

New Black Mirror is good. First one was a peach

BM is a bit hit and miss. More hit than miss, mind. Some of 'em do feel like rehashed plots of better movies / books dealing with similar subjects. 3rd one is proper hide behind yer cushion stuff.

Loved:
Shut up and dance
Playtest
Hated in the nation

not bad:
nosedive

meh:
men against fire

Watched the first two episodes of Luke Cage tonight, excellent stuff. Any show that slips Christo Redentor in the soundtrack gets my vote

I've not seen any of this series but everything I've seen previously is pretty much a 'clever' idea given a massive budget and stretched out far longer than it needs to be. They'd make great short films but nothing more.

Walking Dead season 7 off to a brutal start... captivating stuff though.

Really looking forward to watching it tonight!

They'd make great short films but nothing more.

which is kinda what they are. TBH, they never topped s01e01.

i read a spoiler on twotter. what a chump.

TBH, they never topped s01e01.

Almost prophetic

OK they're not feature-length but I've seen better written/fleshed out <10 minute amateur efforts made on a shoestring.

don't doubt you for a moment. it's just 'The Twilight Zone' with a mobile technology angle.

Yeah, and I also don't think it claims to be anything else. Which is fine by me.

(I purchased every episode of "The Outer Limits" the other week).

I think it's social media/reviewers jizzing all over it which annoys me. That and giving more commissions to Charlie Brooker.

Jesus fucking Christ walking dead.

I'm halfway through. Savage.

urgh... that was messy.

Bring back the boring talky episodes.

Did it get good after season 5? To be honest I'm still amazed I made it past season 2 with the barn...

Fuck me that episode was brutal. I've been waiting for some proper action in the Walking Dead, I guess I got my wish..

I'm not keen on that Negan fella.

He's the best character there's been since David morissey

I won't have a bad word said about Black Mirror. Very pleased with the first 3 episodes of the new series, although I think episode 1 was the worst of the 3. Very Hollywood/American TV, which I guess is what CB was going for.

Disappointments so far have been Bojack s3 and Transparent s3. I haven't finished Bojack yet but I'm just getting a bit bored of it. Transparent is making me think about important things which is good, but it feels a bit too much, it stopped being enjoyable and started being more of a challenge.

Well yeah, but he's mean and I don't like him.
