Since just before Christmas I've been binge watching Supernatural in my spare time.... I just started season 7 today
From the first episode I noticed a lot of similarities between this and the X files, which is probably why I am hooked |

I have given that one up, after 2 seasons, started with promise, some of the hacking stuff looks realistic when compared to other crap that's shown but (without trying to spoil it) the whole "is this really happening" thing with the main character pisses me off.
It's like Ally McBeal but based on computer nerds instead of lawyers, where the main character is a whiny dweeb, and you only stayed watching it for the other characters.
Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Narcos, IT crowd, Walking Dead, Black Mirror and I'm Alan Partridge are all much better ways to waste your life on than Mr Robot. ____________________

Can't stand dubbed films, you lose all the emotion of the actors. Anyway being a Kodi w&nker most of the time I muddle through foreign bits in films trying to get the jist of what they're saying. |
Dude, Kodi supports subtitles! |
I know It's just for short bits of 'foreign' it's not worth finding them, then rewinding/turning the subtitles on/off. I've noticed films/series seem to summarising foreign language bits anyway, I guess for people who can't (be arsed to) read.

I'd definitely say season 1's worth watching, you're right about season 2, although season 3 went back to 'normal' but ended in an odd way. Amazon have been their wrecking shows lately by going OTT with SJW stuff.
They made a shorter final season of Red Oaks and made it all about interracial couples and homosexuality, which it had elements of before, they just remembered the rest of the show. Same with Mr Robot, lots of social commentary, and it was as if Sam Esmail was using the end of the show as a showcase to show he can do movies (even though they're getting a 4th series), which didn't really fit with the rest of the series. And the story seems to be stuck in a loop. |

Finished Mindhunter Season 1, can't wait for season 2
Just started The Good Wife. Must have started in ages ago, looks like I got halfway through S1E4, but am starting from scratch again to remind myself.

Nope they don't, all of the episodes are 'big' budget, but I don't think the writing's as good. Rehashed ideas and they were fairly predictable. I really liked Metalhead (episode 5) but they fudged a few episodes trying to promote their SJW agenda. I'm disappointed Brooker, and I'm disappointed they've f**ked up another Sci-Fi show I like |

Rumours persist of a reboot, but the verse doesn't align like that too often. Maybe better to just leave it as a perfect one off.
Did we mention Castle? I'll mention Castle. Very likeable, with a guest cast of... pretty much everyone who was in that one thing that one time. The Septic version of Midsomer Murders. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Just finished watching..
The Punisher
https://i.gadgets360cdn.com/large/punisher_machine_gun_1509086018740.jpg
I loved it. Not seen any other Marvel tv shows yet but this really hit the spot. Great casting for Frank Castle.
Just started watching Daredevil... not sure what I think yet but it seems ok so far. Guy from the Mighty Ducks is in it (Elden Hensen) not too convinced with his acting skills. ____________________ Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. |

People talk about the dangers of 'Social Meeja' and stuff on the news, but the TRUE danger of 'Social Meeja' is not one that is commonly mentioned.
The danger is that people seem to think that their opinion is important.
It's like when someone posts a picture of something on Facebook, and some people like it, some people hate it, some people will criticize it, but others will actually criticize everything around it, the setting, the camera settings, the background, the font used for comments... f*cking everything. It doesn't matter.
It Doesn't Matter!
We come on forums to have a bit of a laugh, and get away from the offline world for a moment, not to have everything criticised in a pointless way with no decent argument or analysis.
This thread is about TV show box sets and what individuals like. What is the benefit of a blanket comment saying one persons choices are bad?
I may as well come on here and say all TV is @rse, and movies are all terrible, forums are sh*te, the written word is f*cking pointless and the internet is full of dullards. Not only that, Humanity is a waste of skin, and anyone who disagrees with me is no better than a pulsating boil on the sphincter of a non existent deity.
