Sure, I'd give Daredevil a go. It's worth it just for Vincent D'onofrio's performance as Kingpin, veering between touching and deranged like a hulking rage-baby. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I've found myself watching the odd box set on my days off.... and now I'm running out of ideas.
I did binge watch the first season of American Gods recently, also finished the first season of Stranger Things.... both were quite entertaining (for someone who doesn't watch TV as shown or recorded anyway), a friend also recommended Midnight Texas, so I watched the trailer and thought it was going to be a load of rubbish with loads of jump scares I ended up watching the first 4 episodes in a night and now have to wait for the next episode to be aired |

Decided the Defenders wasn't very good... unfortunately I was already on the finale by the time I'd made up my mind (must cut my losses earlier with these things)
The dialogue consists of "something something trust me" (the drink along phrase if you're playing at home). The mass brawl scenes are so generic and undramatic you're left not giving a f**k who survives.
Magic wank hand guy schooled at the Derek Zoolander Center For Children Who Can't Read Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too still massively gets on my nerves. Jessica Jones couldn't save it Also there's too much required reading needed to get up to speed, just like the Marvel universe movies.
Started watching Ozark, so far it seems alright. |

I'm watching the 9th episode (one to go), it is good, but I sure did not expect to see - - - SPOILER gay oral sex SPOILER - - -. I mean, that was new, in such show. Is this some kind of a pissing contest between the American Tv/Netflix shows producers? It doesn't add anything to the story, so why put it there, to move the boundries? Do the producers sit in the office, waiting for someone to suggest this or is it the first thing they want in the show? ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Every series seems to have a gay storyline now, was it the first one with the rent boy (I'm on episode 6), or is there another to look forward to? |

That's the one. A bit too much, in my opinion. I got used to see gay people in Tv shows, having interactions and relations, all alright, but choking on someone's cock in a crime Tv show? A bit too much, considering it wasn't even the main character and it brought nothing to the story. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Maybe, although they also showed underage sex and a housewife getting spanked Having just watched the cafe/gay kiss scene I think it's to 'normalise' homosexuality rather than add anything to the story, which probably turns my indifference towards it into a bit of animosity oddly. |

Absolutely brilliant. If you were a Breaking Bad fan, you will love this.
Financial advisor ends up laundering for a Mexican cartel, has to move with family due to crazy Mexicans, and has to launder millions, while also getting tied up with a crazy hillbilly family, and redneck heroin dealers.
Very very good. I binge-watched in 3 days. Only problem now is I have to wait for a year for series 2. |
Watched that last week and also thought it was very good.
Narco's 3 starts end of the week and then the brilliant Stranger Things returns shortly. ____________________ Current Bike - 2000 ZX-7R |

I didn't care for Breaking bad but I quite liked Ozark, well enough to finish it anyway. It was a bit predictable and contrived in places, but at the same time there were some wasn't expecting that moments, and most of the characters are really good. |

I loved HaCF series 1, but gave up in S2 when it went more soap operatic. Critics flipped the other way, which shows what they know.
Oh, The Tick. Well, I guess I watched it, and it's only about 2 1/2 hours out of your life when you've skipped the credits. It's just... they forgot the funny. With that really annoying gimmick of a different writer and director every episode, it feels patchy and awkward and the cast doesn't have any real rapport. Serafinowicz does a decent job but he's up against the legacy of Warburton's pitch-perfect performance (and physique). The character is written and played as occasionally uncertain, which might be fine as a later character development but doesn't work during an establishing series which I suspect isn't going to lead to a renewal.
The standout was Yara Martinez as the one-eye candy.
I'm on to season 3 of Gotham, and it's also a bit of a mess. I mean, it's about a boy-man who will eventually dress as a bat to strike fear into the hearts of street criminals that he will never go up against, so a little suspension of disbelief is required. My main problem is that Bruce is such a limp, passive wimp that if you made a doll of him it would come with a ransom note as an accessory. Canon is that Bruce is driven by unshakeable determination and absolute certainty, and they're taking their sweet time working up to that. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

The ''Vice Principals'' is back, the first season was good. Danny McBride was made to play such characters.
It's quite diluted down ''Eastbound & Down'', which was his best job so far, but still worth the time. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ
