It must be good as my old man is as fussy when it comes to TV shows and only told him about it on Sunday and he's watched all 4 released episodes already!


I've watched the first 3, really enjoying it, those Russians are crazy.
A little off putting that the whole thing is in English, not complaining but just seems strange


Appeals to a wider audience that way, much like Enemy at the Gates. I for one am not a fan of reading subtitles, especially when talking is combined with nudity.

I finished Chernobyl earlier this week over a couple days. Loved every second of it (except the dog shooting scenes). Great show.
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

You're a fan of the nude miners scenes?

I went and watched a bit of the first episode again just so the last episode all tied in nicely. It was a work of art the way it did.
Quality mini series. Can see myself watching it again.

Anyone catch Euphoria on Fox? I didn't mind it, and even though it could have slow moments it was pretty well put together. Just hope it leads somewhere.

It's on Fox. I had to get a mates fox details & password & stream it. 100% worth it.

I watched Ep1 and had the same thoughts.
Found it a bit confusing to begin with
They had to edit parts out for Australian TV and with what they left in I'd hate see what they had to censor!

Yeah right, definitely makes one wonder what they have excluded (and why) for our audiences?

Just finished watching season 1 of "Mary Kills People" on SBS On Demand.

Interesting show about an ER doctor who also provides a discrete euthanasia service to willing participants. Things get hairy when the cops start sniffing around and her secret is about to be exposed. She's also a bit unusual, you're not 100% sure she's doing it only to provide care and dignity to others, or whether she's actually a bit of a sociopath who enjoys it.

Worth a look (unless you're philosophically opposed to euthanasia).

Loving the new season of Wentworth, so many jaw dropping moments!
I thought it had lost its way in the last few seasons but this season is one of the best if not THE best IMHO.

Finished this Tuesday night. Loved it. First mini series I've got into for a long time.

Not sure if anyone (or can) has access to HBO, but a series "Last Man on Earth" that I'd caught a few episodes of on a flight some time ago is now on SBS Catch up. If you're looking for something a bit out there, a bit of dark humor, I enjoyed this. I'll be revisiting it again.
