@Tasuki Yeah I just saw over on iO9. The poster is cool; nice to get a good shot of the new Flash suit.

I think Legends doesn't work all that well given the size of the team. that's a lot to manage. I remember seeing or reading something from Amell saying how gruelling the schedule became including the crossovers.

Legends is heading down the magic path this year too - so hopefully delving a little more in to Hellblazer territory. Perhaps they'll set up Swamp Thing?

@Tasuki well Legends isn't as popular as the others so maybe they are dropping the series?

@KratosMD That really should change this coming season though. Constantine is due to become a series regular - so darker times should be ahead.

@FullbringIchigo I think it does OK. As I said above though - the people seeking the JC fix will likely flock to it.

@KALofKRYPTON Be warned it is very violent in places and the special effects are deliberately low budget.

@FullbringIchigo No it's due back next season and they are adding Constantine so it's not that. I think it might just be a schedule hassle with all those people.

@JohnnyShoulder cool.

@RogerRoger Oh I'm the same with games. I absolutely can't stand it, so I understand. At home our Blu-ray player isn't region free and we were unsure if the American copy of Clone Wars series 6 was region-specific so we got the German one.

@mookysam yes it is region locked, i brought the Australian release as they are the same region as we are in the UK and added bonus it's menus are all in english

Family Guy is on the break room at work. It’s like if the simpsons was awful. It’s dumb and fails at its very unsubtle attempts to be funny. The characters are annoying and just off-putting too.

@Jaz007 Don't bother watching American Dad then lol.

@JohnnyShoulder Ha! I do love American Dad.

@Jaz007 I quite like Family Guy - watched most of it up to the 6th season or so, usually pretty sharp. Lets not pretend that The Simpsons has been for the last decade (at least) though. It has the odd gem these days, but few and far between.

I'd highly recommend Final Space if you can get it, extremely well done show. I'm part way through Disenchantment, which is about as OK as the recent Simpsons stuff or some of the weaker Futerama episodes really.

After a long hiatus from Netflix I'm back (and have a huge backlog of shows & movies to get caught up with...).

GLOW season 2 (Netflix Original) - Pretty good season. If you like pro-wtestling and/or 80's period pieces it's worth a look.

The Crown season 2 (Netflix Original) - I don't think it was quite as good as season 1 (I really liked John Lithgow's role as Winston Churchill), but it's still a really interesting & immaculately produced series.

@KALofKRYPTON I agree, Fam Guy and American Dad were ace when I was watching em. Roger the alien is such a amusingly trashy character, he could almost have his own show.

@KALofKRYPTON I think what was on TV was an older episode. I don’t actively watch the Simpsons either, but I enjoy whenever my dad has it on the TV. I couldn’t tell you what season an episode is from unless it’s Season 1 though.

Jimmy: A True Story of a True Idiot (Netflix Original) - Japanese comedy/drama that chronicles the life of entertainer "Jimmy" Onishi, but as if he's actually the dimwitted character he plays on TV. Had quite a few laugh out loud moments, and I recommend it if you like Japanese TV).

Finished Sharp Objects over the weekend. Did not end as I'd expected, which is nice. It was a very well done project depicting patently damaged people without revelling in it too much.

Only just found out that there was a 23% discount for Batman: The Complete Animated Series Deluxe Limited Edition [Blu-ray] on Amazon (US) previously. Would've pre-ordered it I knew about it earlier.:/

Watched Iron Fist 2. Thought it was okay but definitely better than season one. Danny Rand is still kinda lame imo, but Colleen Wing steals the show. I like her character and her fight scenes were good as well.

@WanderingBullet started the first season on the weekend. Reminds me of the first season of Arrow so far. I like in the Marvel TV stuff each characters combat feels a bit different.

@WanderingBullet @JohnnyShoulder I agree, much better than season 1. The way they portrayed Danny in Luke Cage seemed a lot better, so certainly I think most of the criticism has been taken on board.

As for your spoiler, I saw that coming as soon as he revealed the guns, right out of Red Dwarf! .
