Started season 2 of Black Summer. Good mindless fun for the first 2 eps so far.

Apologies for the necro bump but I just got round to watching the whole first series the last 2 days. First episode wasn't bad but I'm glad I gave the second episode a go as I really enjoyed it.
Really enjoyed that one episode with Vance trying to avoid that one zombie.

Really enjoyed Black Summer too and flew through it. Great to see some zombie fare where there was actually some good tension from encountering just 1 zombie.

Finished up Dopesick today. It really is excellent. Michael Keaton should, if there is any justice in this world - which this show reiterates there is not -, walk away with an Emmy, hands down.

You can do your joke again here if you like Andy!  :laugh:

Refer to other thread  :'(

You could have put a link directly to it. Maybe that's the kind of meta-posting the forum needs! After a while, people won't know what thread they're reading or replying to at any given moment, and the discussions will be no less coherent for it.

It might make it harder to split every single discussion into clean left/ right divides.

Finished Dopesick. I don't think the series lived up to the story but a good watch nonetheless. I worked in a pharmacy for 3 years and some of the things I saw and learned was unsettling and disturbing. Nothing particularly headline worthy or anything but just the general nature of some of the business.

We had a class once a week during a whole semester, the aim of which was to give students an idea of options beyond academic science research. This consisted in part of a different rep each time from various pharma companies and so on selling on working for them. Fairly brazen alright. Didn't like being asked questions about the delay to generics.

Keaton was already ROBBED at the Oscars a few years back so there isn't any justice in the world.

That's true, especially given the competition (biopic performances are always overly favoured at the Oscars but). I found his performance in Dopesick even better than Birdman though.

Must watch Birdman again. Enjoyed it at the time.

Any excuse to mention Norm, his episode on the Netflix series with Keaton is savage.

Just finished the second run of Masters Of The Universe: Revelation there, good craic. Less of a nostalgia buzz than the first part but good all the same. Last minute set up for a future storyline too.

Been watching a load of Futurama recently, it really was a great show and thankfully didn't last long enough to turn to shit like The Simpsons

Added Borgen into the rotation of Seinfeld and NGE the other day.  Good show so far, about 6 episodes in, I'd imagine a good heap of it is exactly how govt and journalists work in reality.

Also caught up on Dopesick last night - four episodes in now.  Still great.  The level of "ah for fuck's sake" at everything to do with the story is high.

Brilliant show. Heard it's coming back for one more season.
