The TV Thread redux

Put simply, modern Science Fiction but in the style of Jules Verne and HG Wells.However, there is a whole fandom associated with it.

My sister is into steampunk. They have a festival in Lincoln every year if you want to find out more.

Thanks, but Iā€™ll stick to my nihilism.

Got the ending semi-spoiled because Google is fucking stupid. Still enjoyed the show. Maybe ā€œenjoyā€ isnā€™t the right word.

The Penguin is a fantastic bit of television. Everything about it is so good.

Is it a wildlife documentary? If not Iā€™m not interested.

Mankind, the wildest life!

I ignored it but heard good things so started last night. 1 episode in I am not hooked yet, but there is a lot of good people so seems promising.

Netflix S2 of the Diplomat came out a couple of weeks ago. This season is more chaotic than the first and so starts losing itself a bit, but Rory Kinnear is superb and the guest turn from Alisson Janney as the under fire VP is fantastic.

Got round to the first batch of s2 eps for Arcane; still as incredible as the first season. Roll on the next 3 eps

Arcane was good but watched it right after Blue Eye Samurai which might be my favourite animated show ever at this point.

Also really loved Scavengers Reign but it might not be for everyone.

In this area I heard really good things about the Netflix Terminator animated series. Its not really my bag so havent given it a go, but have considered it.

I watch arcane towards the end of the night. Itā€™s the show me and wifey put on after we finished watching whatever we were ready to watch but before we are ready to go to bed, which means weā€™ve probably been drinking wine, otherwise we just go to sleep. Iā€™m 50-50 (probably more 75-25) that I will fall asleep before an episode ends. Iā€™m trying and failing to watch it. Parts Iā€™ve seen I enjoy, but need to go back and watch a few episodes when Iā€™m not toward the end of a night enjoying wine lol.

so you get pissed and fall asleep on the couchā€¦then do a review of the showā€¦ :rofl:ā€¦

I wanted to try, but he put it in the film thread, twice, and so on principle I just cannot now.
