Cracking finale to Alien Earth. Nice to actually have a new Alien thing that wasn't shit. Enjoyed that season immensely. And I love the outros. Especially the finales one. Suited it perfectly.

I've only started Alien Earth. 2 episodes in and I'm liking it

Really enjoyed Alien: Earth and it wrapped up nicely, definitely left me wanting more. Again, at the risk of repeating myself, the alien vfx were great. Not a perfect series by any means and a few minor issues of concern...the Lost Boys were very well done, for the most part, but I hope it doesn't go on to be a teen, coming of age, type-drama which it threatens to be at times. Also, not sold on the octo eye thingy.
Spoiler
that bit where it reanimated the corpse of Arthur...do we really need more zombies??

3 episodes in to "Black Rabbit" - half tempted to jack it in. 

The presence of Jude Law and Jason Bateman will have me avoiding it like a plague.

Started Task the other night. Not bad.

I've regrettably stuck with it, it doesn't get any better. Bateman is incredibly annoying in this, still I continued to watch. I enjoyed his character in Arrested Development. However he's so fucking one dimensional, perhaps I'm being too harsh, I'm more angry with myself for investing my time. 

Saw him on HotOnes the last day. Mad that he was in Little House on the Prairy.

I like Bateman in "Arrested Development" and "Ozark" - he's really great as a put-upon character who, to varying degrees in those shows, has to be the anchor.

He's not very good at this skeezy, chancer-type scumbag in "Black Rabbit" at all.

Also - Jude Law dresses and looks GOB from "Arrested Development" in this new show too.

Forgot about Ozark its pretty decent!

Finished S2 of Twisted Metal. Silly and fun.

Bit late to the party, but I started guillermo del toro cabinet of curiosities and am very much enjoying it. It reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock presents a tad. Pretty cool anyway, don't know why I didnt watch this years ago

Ozark was shite, and Bateman's one dimensionality didn't help. Any attempt at tension was defused by his bland presence  :laugh:

It absolutely reeked of "Netflix commissions a show based on user data".
Bateman was great in Arrested Development, but his whole schtick doesn't work outside of it.



He's just way to calm and level headed to bring any sense of drama to a scene. He acts as a kind of drama neutraliser.

Ozark started off ok but quickly morphed into a TV3 type show.
