New series of Rick and Morty started last night on E4! Probably wasn't a classic but still very good, on par with the usual quality. (y)

I'm not sure I can get used to waiting a week for an episode like the old days though. :cautious:

Just starting season 2 of SEAL team, I binged watched 22 Episodes of season 1 in 3 days, its decent entertainment and unlike other military programmes of recent years the story follows throughout the series which keeps you wondering what's next.

I gave up on this. Have binned off SWAT as well.

How far in did you get with it. I'm about 6 episodes into Season 2 and it's not outstanding as its very typical American but I'm happy watching it as something that is better than daytime guff.. As for SWAT couldn't get into it at all

I think I watched about 2/3 of season 1. It was ok, but I just found I went a few weeks without watching it, and then just deleted what was left.

I'm a bit embarrassed to say this, but I'm enjoying- Dolly Parton's Heartstrings new series on Netflix.
A different story each episode, loosely based on one of her song titles.
Soppy American type stuff, OK depending in what mood you're in, she doesn't sing in it too much after the 1st 2 episodes (y):D

War of the Worlds, ep2. What a major disappointment. They kept mixing up time lines and I really dislike that. Not sure the survivors we are seeing are particularly likeable either so I am not caring about them.

It took me until right near the end to figure out that we were seeing some of it in the future. I was very confused as to who the woman was and how come the kids comic portrayed the invasion so accurately!

Well - we watched the four episodes of Catherine the Great on Sky Atlantic. Great cast (inc. Helen Mirren, Gina McKee and Rory Kinnear) and looks fabulous.

But what a complete and utter load of tosh - worse thing we've watched in yonks. Watched two then thought we might as well watch 3rd ep. to see if it could get better. It's didn't. But then we only had one to watch so we did last night.

What Mirren was doing as someone in her mid 70s (and looking beautiful) playing the part of someone who was in her mid-30s - and having sexual relationships with men that age and younger.o_O But don't let that put you off if you want to four hours of lavish costumes and sets; fabulous Russian palaces, and frankly hilarious and largely extraneous rumpy-pumpy.

Well done on getting past ep 2. I gave up at that point, utter rubbish. Major ego trip for Helen Mirren, ridiculous bit of casting.

With you. I've only seen episode one and at the end when they did the future bit, I let out a sigh, thinking it's one of the 'those' dramas.

To be fair considering how well season 1 ended and then all the build up in season 2 was expecting a good end but alas the ending was more than a little far fetched
Agree but that is pretty much the same with Tom Clancy's books, lots of realistic, detailed build up then an insane, blockbuster ending
