TV series discussion {'ware Spoiler Alert}

Jurassic World is on channel 9 tonight. Is it worth watching? I enjoyed the earlier ones.

Yes....but I wouldn't watch it on commercial television. The ads will ruin it.

It's a fun, no need to think, story, with little to no basis in scientific fact.

The biggest question you will have afterwards though, is how does Ingen keep securing liability insurance for their projects?

Cheers, thanks GarrettM.

What else is there - Call the Midwife?

But record it to skip the commercials.

Not much else on, so I am suffering the ads. It has taken an hour for the first person to get eaten!

Netflix?

Netflix?

I checked and they didn’t have it.

There are other methods you know...

The body count does go up. The assistant's death was needlessly cruel mind you.

Just finished watching The Bridge (Bron/Broen) season 4 on SBS on demand. It’s just started screening on SBS itself. I thought it was the best of all the seasons. Thoroughly recommend it.
Interesting to recognise Charlotte Fich in a minor role. For those with long memories she was Ingrid Dahl in Unit.

Looking forward to the new season of Survivor which is just starting!

 

[lovetravellingoz]

its back! Walking Dead returns this week....(Though is Fear the Walking Dead now better than the original series??)

Watched the first thee episodes of this last night.

The Looming Tower (miniseries) - Wikipedia

Thought it would be mediocre but it actually quite good and interesting on the internecine wars between the CIA and the FBI in the early days of Al Queda and OBL.

Is it just me, or is Think Tank just painful to watch?

Let me think about that.

The ABC program? It’s excruciating.

This is a perfect example of the Michele Guthrie et al (news corp) dumbing down of the ABC. ABC local radio and RN has been trashed and any good presenters moved to 4 pm or later and ABC tv is now just drivel, apart from 3-4 programs.

Why does the ABC have such a cough quiz program occupying an hour each night? I suppose it’s home grown but hey it’s still garbage.

Paul McDermott used to be interesting when he was in the DAS and various music programs, but on this his general knowledge is overly exposed and his “jokes” are so funny that not even the “think tank” laughs.

The questions even are moronic.

WHTBAM dare I say is even better.

Why do they bother except to drive away move ABC viewers to the bottle!

 

[TheRealTMA]

Let me think about that.

You’ll go blind first.

Has anyone watched Britannia. (It was a UK Sky TV Original series.)

It is set at the time of the second Roman Invasion......I struggled to get past the them music - Hurdy Gurdy Man, by Donovan.

The show itself is on the awful side of bad as it attempts to use modern dialogue to be hip and trendy. A poor mans attempt at a Game of Thrones type show.

Yes. You are not wrong. Except on Hurdy Gurdy man. Best part of the program.

What did the Romans ever do for us eh?

Agree on the music it is definitely the best part....but man alive it just seems so out of place.

'Home grown' AKA 'local content' = BINGO

Not necessarily cheap but very, very, nasty.
