I found this season hard to get into as well. Just got back from OS so have the last 3 eps to watch still


Be interested in your take of those last few eps and the conclusion, thought they wrapped it up pretty well


I'll be sure to let you know!


Ok, finally got around to watching the last 3 eps.
I was waiting for everything to wrap up or at least start to in ep 10 and 11 but it sort of didnt and then BAM Ep 12 chucked 10lbs of sh*t in 5lb bag.
Was a good ending and interested to see where S5 takes them.

Yep. thats about how I took it .. Shit got happening and in double time.

Watched the first episode of Quarry last night too, not too bad, hopefully maintains the interest (if his missus' keeps getting her kit off it certainly will) from here.

Longmire is pretty good if you need a filler, it's a bit like Justified.
Aussie bloke is the main character and sci-fi nerds will love seeing Katee Sackhoff in uniform

Karen gives me the f**kin shits in Daredevil.

Her constant crying and sad face bullshit ruins huge parts of the show.

Just watched the Punishers monologue in the cemetary and it had me mezmarised.

Cut to her face in the bar and i was instantly hoping the episode would end

I don't watch Daredevil but I'm really looking forward to The Punisher series. So glad they're making it, it's gonna be f**king sick.

I'm currently in season four of Shameless (US) - it certainly lifted the bar into family tragedy in that series, didn't it?

SBS2 switches over to SBS Viceland at 4pm Tuesday 15th November.

SBS has sought to stress it has cherry-picked the best “on charter” content from Vice for the youth-skewing channel, covering topics such as cultural issues, race, identity, gender, music, technology, fashion, food, travel, sports, and more.

These will play alongside selected SBS 2 titles which will remain including The Feed, SBS PopAsia, A League, If You Are The One, South Park, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, Brooklyn Nine Nine and foreign language news bulletins.

Amongst the new SBS VICELAND titles are Black Market, Gaycation, States of Undress, Weediquette, F*ck That’s Delicious, VICE World of Sports, VICE News Tonight, Cut-Off, Cyberwar, Balls Deep, and Noisey.

There are a handful of Australian-based VICE titles too, although it isn’t clear if these will all screen on broadcast television or possibly online.

The wife has persuaded me to watch series 3 of 'Black Mirror', which is available on Netflix.

There are three series currently available. It's been described as a cross between 'The Twilight Zone' and "Tales of the Unexpected". Each episode is an independent and stand-alone story, written, directed, and starring completely different people. It's quite dark and through-provoking, and a bit disturbing and intense in some cases. Whilst each episode is unique, there is a consistent theme of the role of technology and the consequences of its current and potential applications in our lives. From the three that I've watched so far, two have provided commentary on applications of virtual reality, one deals with how it can **** things up and another how it could work in the afterlife.

If you want something highly original, makes you think a bit, and stays with you after it's finished, give 'Black Mirror' a go. I'm looking forward to going back though the first two series to see how the show has developed.
