Just finished watching the first two episodes. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Really good show. They don't wallow in self pity when they are talking about disability issues, which makes it accessible imo

The ABC are going to start showing the new TV series 'Humans' which is the UK remake of the fantastic Swedish sci-fi/drama 'Real Humans' aka Akta Manniskor. Even my mum fell in love with that show.

Starts 8:40pm Monday Aug 3rd on ABC2

I doubt this would be worth it unless Ed ONeill was in it - https://gma.yahoo.com/married-children- ... ities.html

Both he and Katey Segal are probably entrenched in other roles though so I doubt it will happen.

I get the feeling though that the Full House comeback might be starting a trend, and we'll see more of these comebacks from 80s and 90s, in coming years.

I couldn't get through the 2nd episode, normally love Retro shows but it was the most boring show I'd seen in a while.

Have only just started watching this show, and despite the fact I've never liked the main dude in anything I've ever seen him in previously, this show is heaps of fun.

Watched the premiere of this new show Mr. Robot on 7 tonight about a computer hacker and surprisingly was glued to it for the full 90 minutes.

Not a bad show at all.

Hasnt started yet, but theres previews for a show called Narcos on Netflix.

Comes out on the 28th, so assume the entire season will be released in one go if its like other Netflix series.

Its about Pablo Escobar. Looks pretty intense, and the DEA agent character looks like he'd be fun to watch.

Fear The Walking Dead the spinoff series of TWD started today in the US and I think on Foxtel but haven't watched the first episode yet.

Good news that Ten will be showing the Netflix made 4th season of The Killing (first 3 seasons by AMC) on their One channel starting Tues 1st Sep at 10:30pm.

I highly recommend Ballers, stars Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock and produced by Mark Wahlberg. NFL comedy in a similar style to Entourage, two thumbs up.
