Started Dark tonight. 3 episodes in and I have NFI what's going on but I think I really like it. So far reminds me of a German version of Stranger Things.
Godless sounds good. Thanks for the heads up. To much quality television produced now to keep track of it all.

I had already downloaded Dark but only set to start watching it today.

One television show I only discovered recently but really like is The Gifted.

It's part of the Marvel universe and is about two teenagers who recently discover they have mutant powers in a world where mutants are now ostracized by most because of their ability.

The twist is their father works as a prosecutor for Sentinel services the organisation responsible for punishing and imprisoning mutants deemed a danger to society.

Stars Amy Acker as the mother who I've loved since her days as Fred on Angel (she's still hot) and Stephen Moyer as the father who people would recognise from the television show True Blood.

I agree it was a great ending too. I don't think it needs a season 2.

Godless wasn't as good as I hoped for and in reality when it comes to revenge Westerns if you've seen one you've seen them all I guess.

I enjoyed the first 9 episodes of Dark but hated the finale.

Agreed. I think I would have liked them to have wrapped it all up in one season rather than leave it hanging for a second one.

I watched season 4 of Black Mirror yesterday. As usual, it was pretty hit and miss. There was only 1 I really hated (Metalhead) so I guess that's not too bad. The first episode, USS Callister, is brilliant.

I'm watching Black Mirror and that particular episode in Metal Head right now.

What did you think? I hated it and forwarded through most of the dog chases. I just found it boring and I wanted her to hurry up and die.

Just finished The Punisher, I'd put it second to DD Season 1 in the Netflix Marvel universe; they've really set up the character nicely. Even though he was already Punisher, this felt like an origin story so hopefully he gets another season and an awkward teamup with DD or JJ. :lol:

SBS "The Vietnam War" Probably the most non bias doco of all time. You hear from ex Vets from all sides not just pro US rubbish. Excerpts of Presidential phone calls and released material. It's well done and show's what a gigantic Cluster Fck that war was and they still do not know how many Vietnamese were killed. It goes into the Protest movement as well. A lot of film I have not seen before. Worth the watch if you are interested. A Torrent is available as well.
