Oh my. Amazon are making a TV series of The Boys.

@JohnnyShoulder it's been on the cards a while. Trailer looks decent, surprisingly.

In other news, Van Helsing remained pretty dumb and inconsistent with itself right up until the end.

5 episodes in to The Punisher season 2 and it is really tough going. This show is so dull 🙄
Season one had its 'this whole thing is just a build up' moments, but with DareDevil and Iron Fist picking up the slack from their previous seasons - I wasn't expecting Punisher to big itself down so readily.

@KALofKRYPTON I was a bit cynical when they started work on Preacher, but after being impressed withnthe show feel The Boys is in good hands.

@RogerRoger I'm intrigued, what 'disgusting stereotype' were they going to reinforce? I don't watch the show, so there is no need to fear spoiling it.

@KALofKRYPTON I still haven't seen the first series but all the Netflix Marvel series I've seen suffer from being twice as long as they need to be.

@Thrillho That's a pretty fair assessment.

Over the Xmas break we watched Escape at Danemora, which is excellent - and from a surprising director.

The script and performances are tight and satisfying and the framing of shots throughout is incredibly well done. Highly recommended.

@RogerRoger I don't and never intend to watch it, so popped the spoilers... Um... That is quite the stereotype! Nice to see they didn't run with it - perhaps an intentional fingers up to 'community'.

I remember seeing an interview with George Michael where he said essentially the same thing as the fictional counselor - I also remember thinking 'no, you just want to screw around!'

Anyone on here watching the third season of True Detective? Two episodes in, I'm seriously liking what I'm seeing so far.

Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.

@RogerRoger Thank you for taking the time to explain, no wonder you were glad they didn't go down that route. That is a pretty bad stereotype, glad the writers saw sense in the end.

@KALofKRYPTON
I love time travel related shows/ movies.
Really like 12 monkeys but for some obscure reason, the last season isn't available in the UK.
I think the source code is the only one (that I know of) that does time travel right. I'd love to see a TV show based on it.

The crowd, accepting this immediately, assumed the anti-Eurasian posters and banners everywhere were the result of acts of sabotage by agents of Goldstein and ripped them from the walls.

@JJ2 I don't think it's actually finished yet is it?

@KALofKRYPTON Can we use time travel and find out?

@JJ2 Ah cool! I quite liked it in the end. Hopefully Netflix pick it up again.

I'd be interested to see more Travelers too - though the ending to the last season was satisfying enough to round things out. I find a big problem with the a lot of shows are structured, is that they usually aren't designed to have a specific run with a defined end point. If it does well, it just keeps going until cancellation.

@JohnnyShoulder We already have, you just haven't done it yet...

@Frigate
I tried to watch but couldn't get into it. There are bad movies with some interesting ideas in them. Like in Loopers, it's mind blowing that they have to kill their future self and make you think. There r also great movies like twelve monkeys that make me want the scream a the notion that time is a loop you can't break because I find it so silly. The mere concept of time travel already changes things as a matter of fact. I prefer when they embrace paradoxes for the fun of it. The more logical approach would be the concept of opening a different dimension where nothing you do affects the dimension you came from.

@KALofKRYPTON Mind Blown!

Also thanks for your thoughts on season 2 of The Punisher. That is disappointing to hear that, as I'm quite enjoying season 1 so far. Just saw the episode when the take the arrow, which was quite gruesome. Feels like most of the players have shown their cards now.

@JohnnyShoulder I'm still pushing through it. It starts comparatively well to the second quarter of episodes - seems to be gathering speed again now.

Some of the violence this time is even more graphic, which I have no issue with.

@JJ2 it's not that weird really, i know it's not the same show but for example i'm a huge NCIS fan but the UK DVD releases are 2 seasons behind the U.S ones even though we used to get them only a few months after but for some reason they just stopped for a bit i don't know why but it could be anything from License issues to them just not giving a damn about the region

as another example the UK never got Star Wars the Clone Wars season 6 (lost missions) even though all other regions did
