I smashed it out in one sitting last weekend.

We're a bit spoiled for football shows lately.

All Or Nothing with the Arizona Cardinals.
Last Chance U
Hard Knocks is about to start.
There's another one following Notre Dame coming out on Bleacher Report.

Anyone else had a look?


I haven't seen it yet but like you have heard really good things about it. The score is meant to be very tasty. A known DJ in the UK just made up an hour long mixtape of Stranger Things with an extended theme song and featuring songs used in the show that has also been getting rave reviews.

https://soundcloud.com/dj-yoda-uk/the-s ... gs-mixtape


Just came in here to ask if anyone had watched this. Ive been pretty addicted to it, just the one episode left to go now. Good thriller playing great homage to the 80's. Just hope they can see the season out without undoing all of the earlier good work.


OK, started and finished the series in a week. You could pick apart small bits of the acting at times (imho) but good show, kept me and the missus well hooked!!

Finished "Stranger Things" on the weekend, definitely worth a squiz. Apart from the soundtrack, the plot and characters are a great homage to 80s sci-fi and adventure films, like (IMO) 'ET' and 'The Goonies'.

Given Avery's conviction relied heavily on the "confession" I wonder if there will be a retrial of Avery soon

My missus likes it, so I watched the first season with her .. 1 episode of season 2 was enough for me to pull the pin though.

Been watching Queen Of The South on Fox which I don't mind.

Back on the Friday Night Lights wagon. Just finishing up season 2.

Chucked it on my Samsung Gear VR headset in the loungeroom while the Mrs watched Zumbos.

I quite enjoyed the first season of 'The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt', I thought it got better as it progressed.

We've been watching 'Marcella' on Netflix. It's from the maker so the Danish-Norwegian co-production 'The Bridge' (of which all three seasons are definitely worth checking out if you dig 'police try to solve a spate of weird serial killings'-type drama), and funnily enough, it's a drama that involves the police trying to solve a spate of weird serial killings. The protagonist is a former detective re-hired to help solve a bunch of murders, her marriage has just collapsed and she suffers from blackouts under stress, and which places her in a difficult situation when she confronts her husband's mistress.

British cast, with a few plot twists and plenty of shady characters to keep things suspenseful.
