Has anyone had a look at "The Brink"? I've found it pretty funny in spots, Tim Robbins character cracks me up.

Also, haven't read much about the 2nd season of True Detective, has anyone been watching it - If so, what are your thoughts? (I havent started on it yet, am thinking I'll wait and binge on it as the season nears the end)

Has anyone endured an episode of Plonk? It's deadset awful stuff. Barely lasted 10 minutes.

I've, kind of enjoyed it.
A guy I knew from Loxton featured in the opening scene of the first Ep. Unsure if he was in the second.

Watched half an episode, absolutely rubbish. Embarassing to be a South Australian production

I did receive a couple of bottles of Plonk wine from Plonk.
It really was ... plonk.

Anyone seen HBO special '7 days in hell'... Andy Samburg and Kit Harrington... Looks hilarious... I will be watching it this weekend.

It follows a different group of survivors at the time the outbreak first happened. Initially the first season is only 6 episodes because that's how long TWD first season was but I don't know if you saw the webisodes TWD crew used to do to compliment each new TWD season but it sounds like it could be similar to 'Torn Apart' (the webisode series prior to Season 2 of TWD).

I thought both 'Torn Apart' and 'Cold Storage' were pretty good but the last ones 'The Oath' which was a lead in to Season 4 not so much.

I watched the trailer of Fear of the Walking Dead earlier, looks like they'll focus on the origins of zombie infection, I like it, definitely have to watch it. I forget about the Webisodes, they're definitely on the to watch list now.

Good to see Channel 7 are going to continue showing the outstanding Bates Motel with Season 2 starting this Wednesday night at 11:30pm.

Vera Farmiga & Olivia Cooke =P~
