Topic: The TV Show Thread

@KratosMD I may start this later. I've been holding off on watching anything I'm particularly interested in as I'm down an eye for a bit. But I really enjoyed most of the first season.

Diamond Back was pretty poor; but the rest of it was really watchable.

@KratosMD Yeah, I saw the trailer and guessed who it would be; not bad for a DC bloke!

@KratosMD Good call on Season 2. Soundtrack is, for the want of a better word - lit!
Fair few favourites in there. Even Esperanza Spalding, who's kind of a genius!

Also, the guy playing BM is American!? His delivery, intonation and cadence is excellent!

@RogerRoger I'm a bit behind - I've just watched the Native American episode. I thought it was a very good episode in an up-to-now patchy season. But I didn't realise how good season 1 was until the end, so I'll reserve judgement until I finish it.

@KratosMD
How good is S2 of Luke Cage though?!
Easily top of the pile for the Marvel shows for me. They even managed to make Danny not suck anymore, which was a welcome touch .

It does almost fall prey to the Marvel mid-season lull, but they really did hold it together and keep it nice and tight for the most part.

The soundtrack playlist on Spotify has been on pretty heavy rotation too.

Hopefully S2 of Punisher will a little more than just lots if Jon Bernthall grunting. #notmypunisher #raystevenson lol

@KratosMD Crap! I thought you'd finished. I hope the Danny thing wasn't a spoiler.

@KratosMD Good. Well, I certainly enjoyed watching a de-annoying-whiny-pricked version of Danny Rand. Iron Fist really could've been awesome if they'd moved him to where he is now about half way through the show.

@KratosMD my son loved it because all the bad guys had Jamaican accents like his grandfather (my dad). He especially loved how they use Jamaican words that I’d say to him and that one of the bad guys have the same name as me (Sheldon).

Just started watching “Samantha!” on Netflix. Have no idea why I started watching it but kept watching because the lead his a hottie. It’s quite funny as well.

@AhmadSumadi @KratosMD

"...sayin he's faster than Usain Bolt now!"

Line of the show!

@KALofKRYPTON lol yeah, Usain is a national treasure. We don’t play about Usain and Bob Marley.

@AhmadSumadi Oh I know it! Though Bob was mixed (like me) and suffered racism at home because of it until he hit the big time.

@RogerRoger Just finished season two of Westworld. I wanted to wait until all the episodes were together as I hate watching narrarive shows weekly. Overall I thought it was rather excellent, although not quite as mysterious as the first season, where I spent the whole series trying to figure out what was going on. Acting and production values were brilliant throughout, as to be expected. Standout performances again from Evan Rachel Wood and Thandie Newton. Nice to see Anthony Hopkins return.

Favourite episodes - Akane no Mai. The Shogun World episode was nicely shot and had a beautiful setting. Akane had such strength and resolve.
Kiksuya - an episode I initially thought to be largely detached from the ongoing action of the season, but after watching the finale, I realised this not to be entirely the case. Lovely to see the story of one of the peripheral characters of the show - who until now we believed to be a villian - and how he awoke to his own sentience.

Anyways great show. Very interested to see where it goes with season 3!

Wow, the new Titans series looks very dark and violent.

@RogerRoger I haven't read the comics for a long time now. Is this the new version of Robin in the comics? Otherwise, I feel it's very out of character for Robin him to say that.

I've also only watched a few episodes of Gotham's Season 1. Can't say that I enjoyed them, to be honest.

@RogerRoger Yeah, I've seen the animated movies that featured Damien Wayne and I was thinking that too. Now DC's trying to copy Deadpool and Logan by going R-rated.lol

@RogerRoger @WanderingBullet the trailer was very DCEU. Dark and gritty for no real reason and yeah the F*** Batman line was was out of character for Robin, for Nightwing it might fit at times but not Robin

also HELL YEAH! on The Clone Wars coming back, it might only be 12 episodes right now but that's OK by me if it means the series gets a proper finish

@RogerRoger i enjoyed the Lost Missions, i had to import it though because it was never released in the UK because for some reason Disney decided not to

@FullbringIchigo @RogerRoger Yeah, maybe Netflix's MCU series might have a better example instead of the two movies I've mentioned. Can't recall but I think there might have been some swearing in Jessica Jones too.

Oh, I've watched some the Clone Wars (I think it was on Cartoon Network?) before and they're quite good. I definitely the prefer Clone Wars's art style and character designs over Rebels.

I'm also looking forward to see more of The Dragon Prince (developed by the creator Avatar: The Last Airbender). So far, I think they've only released one image.

@RogerRoger Speaking of Discovery, you see the Season 2 Trailer yet? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09Cd7NKKvDc
