I can't remember if I've mentioned this already, but on Sky Comedy on Mondays is AP Bio. A former Harvard professor is stuck "teaching" biology in a high school. He has no interest in teaching his class of nerds and weirdos, tonally it is reminiscent of Community.

Now if it visually reminiscent of Alison Brie I'd be signing up to Sky right now!!

I finished Hunters this afternoon, most enjoyable it was too.

Luckily the nods to Tarrentino went as quickly as they arrived, the last one actually being a decent effort.

It all slotted together quite nicely, if a little too telegraphed, but overall I certainly commend it too the house, thanks [MENTION=10885]Lyndhurst 14[/MENTION]

I binge watched it over 3 nights as it really held my attention. There were a few twists at the end that I wasn't expecting and they teed it up nicely for a second series.

Yeah deffo.

Tough to word this but I saw ep 10 coming from a bullshit scene much earlier.

That said I have no idea what one other female character is up too.
I enjoyed everything Lonny said, and by christ Roxy was easy on the eye.

We did the same but over 4 nights. Apparently the inspiration for the story was the directors grandmother telling him stories of the her life in the camps and that there were a few groups in the USA that did go hunting.

Finally got round to Goliath S3. 4 episodes in and it’s as weird as the previous 2 seasons. Still as enjoyable. :thumbsup:

Just done the engrossing 4 parter of a true life murder... The Oland Murder.

Did he/didn't he?

I certainly know what I would vote on a jury.

Brilliant series, great characters Kenny P, Stevie, April, Ashley Schaeffer and the rest (the plantation episode is gold). Shame Danny McBride's last two Vice Principals and The Righteous Gemstones are getting worse even with a few funny moments.

Thought Vice Principles was good, Gemstones was meh - few funny bits.

Had a binge of 4 episodes of The Sinner, series 3.

Pretty good, if a little dark and 'Nietzsche'. Lost direction a little in the middle, but looking forward to finishing it off.

When it’s a bit of a downer when a TV drama completely finishes, you know that it and the characters touched you. The Americans, House of Cards, Person of Interest and Breaking Bad did this to me.

Thankfully for me, Bosch and Justified aren’t complete.

Oh you'll keep enjoying Justified as it trots along. Timothy Olyphant also brightens up the Deadwood feature film no end. He is always such a Solid character.

I had the bereft feeling with Counterpart which was cancelled after 2 seasons and just as things were getting very interesting - (JK Simmons, Olivia Williams, Harry Lloyd, all fabulous) - which is a horrible limbo to be left in. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Halt and Catch Fire was the most complete story, an epic, and I loved spending time with them all. If anyone's got hours to fill for any reason, you'll thank me for either

I love Justified - the storylines, feel and the great acting. The interaction between Raylan and Boyd was cleverly created and masterfully executed.

Downloaded the 90s tv series War of the worlds season 1 from putlocker, will keep me going for a while. Low grade but just about watchable cheap sci-fi.

Oh that is good news.

Hopefully they'll ration it, as I can't be trusted and will blast through then bemoan the downtime.

For those of you new to loafing about the house, doing feck all and eating biscuits Ozark is THE place to start 'binge-life'.
