Will be watching the last episode tonight, after binging it in the last few days. It's quality.

Did anyone watch the Oceangate doc on Netflix yet? It was really good! Holy fuck the parts in the second half where he's testing and you hear all the pops and cracks is one of the most hair-raising things I've seen in a while!

Watched it last night. Fuckin hell those cracking noises were loud. The sounds of the grave calling  :abbath:

The one on BBC or Channel 4 (I forget which) a couple of weeks ago featured a recording on the support ship of the moment of implosion. Now that's eerie.

The level of total fuckin bullshit involved in the search as well given how obvious it was that it was not fit for purpose.

I watched series 3 of Reacher over the last week or so. More of the same, passed the time.

Watched the first episode of Fallout yesterday, didn't think a lot of it. The retro/faux sixties aesthetic was irritating in the extreme, and the music was unbearable. The series preview at the end looked interesting though, so I'll give it another episode at least.

Fallout is well good. Really gets going by episode 3.

The retro but vaguely futuristic aesthetic is the whole shtick of the games. The idea that culture was frozen in time when the bombs fell. Personally I like it but I have far too many hours put into those games  :laugh:

The series is one of the best video game adaptations there is, a low bar I know but there's definitely enough substance to hook people with no background in the games whatsoever.

Fallout is class.

Reacher is also a grand watch.

Never played the game, enjoyed the first season of the series a lot, as did herself... who quite possibly, as with The Last of Us, hadn't ever even heard of the game before watching  :laugh:

Yeah, I'm not a gamer and had never heard of it either but the series seems to be well received. Walton Goggins is usually worth the price of admission anyway so I'll see how it goes.
