100% agree. She could kick seven shades of shit outta me any day and I'd still keep crawling back.

I only remember her from Heroes back in the day, but never really thought too much of her in it, TBH.
But 'Holy Shitballs, Batman', she has become a serious MILF.

Watched the first episode of the Dexter prequel. Much better than the reboot. Nails the feel of the original. That might feel a bit dated for some though. Most of the cast nail the roles.

Been watching Vikings the last few nights, never checked it out when it was on. it's pure popcorn stuff but decent enough, doesn't reach the heights of GOT at its best but hopefully won't sink as low!

It doesn't sink at all. Even after events kill off certain characters. And while maybe not quite as good, but still very good, is the follow-on Valhalla.

Watched "On Call" on Amazon. Not bad. Police procedural about a rookie teamed with a veteran on patrol. Reminds me a bit of the film 'Colours' with Robert Duvall and Sean Penn mixed with 'Bosch'. The episodes are short enough, don't outstay their welcome.

Bosch got pretty fucking dull as it went on, so not a great endorsement

I loved the first 4 seasons but season 5 did nothing for me and I never bothered with season 6.

I stopped at the start of the second or third series, always meant to go back to it but I'd probably have to start again at this stage.

It definitely peaked in season 3 for me at least but 4 was still solid. After that it just didn't have the staying power for me. That and I couldn't stand Bjorn's fuckin constant gurning face  :laugh:

Amazon cutting their budget really fucked Bosch over than making those shit last seasons for their free platform was the death blow.

Such a shame as it was great tv with a savage cast.

Has anyone seen Cock'd Gunns? It's all on YouTube if anyone wants to check it out. Basically Spinal Tap but if they followed a local band about rather than a huge international one. It's hilarious as well, plus some good riffage in there!

Farrell and Milioti really both gave career topping performances in The Penguin. Class.


Watched the Colin Firth-led "Lockerbie" mini-series. It was average enough. Not worth it.

5 episodes. Could have been done and gone in 3.

Lot of re-tracing of the same emotional torture in each installment. People crying and wailing. Flashbacks to suffering.

The kind of thing everyone's mam and aunty loves on telly.

Pure misery porn.

Had it lined up, but sounds dreary. Watched the documentary on it last year, that told me all I wanted to know about it.
