I was enjoying Alien Earth because it had a different take on the very repetitive franchise. Come episode 5 and it's another rehash of the Aliens loose on a space ship story. It's also a flashback episode, which such a fucking lazy hack device.
Way to kill all momentum.

Ok, you don’t have to write a novel about it, I already did that
Four episodes in, great entertainment.

Agreed to some extent, Covenant at least took place on the ground for parts of it as opposed to a ship.
Haven’t managed to pin down my sons to find time to watch this, need to get on it.

Full on intense
Like watching Uncut Gems
Even though we normally binge the Netflix offerings we're taking this one episode at a time

Excellent scenes between the brothers…..
The guys that Vince owes money to seem pretty small time though, he has a bit of a loud mouth but doesn’t back it up with any action….
Also why did they kill Anna ? Not sure how that benefits them ? -
Nice conclusion to Alien Earth, can go multiple ways form here. Not really a spoiler but there was all sorts of press how Predator Badlands was going to be linked to this, thankfully it wasnt..as yet. Enjoyed first season and cant wait to see what they eye does next!

Alien Earth.
Enjoyed immensely and captured the best essence of the films.. Thought it could be a bit meeh but was actually bloody good.
Fell off a bit in the final episode but set up nicely for the next series.

...long time fan of Steve Martin and Martin Short.
New mortal enemy. Absolutely detest both those loud braying pricks.
That said - I've heard good things about that show. I might consider giving it a shot after I've hunted you down and cut you a bit.
Er ok?
Relax - I still haven't cut @Kiwiwomble. It's an empty threat.
Probably....ive been losing sleep for no reason?!?
tangent, binged "Day of thew jackal" on the plane too and form the states this week....pretty awesome, wasn't sure if it was going to be a multi season thing, hope they dont flog a dead horse but definitely keen for another season
edit: i had two questions 1) where is his spotter mate? that might get explained 2) how did the women who hired him find him in the Tallin Hotel.....hes supposed to be the impossible to find person who is only contacted on the dark web...but when she wanted too she just turned up in his hotel room?

It had multiple flaws and total lack of logic bordering on absolute bullshit at times but it was still a good series overall.
How he never got caught is ridiculous not to mention sending TWO agents to HIS house to apprehend him ( ie his own backyard )

Chief of War finale - what the actual fuck. It just became a Game of Thrones/LOTR mash up.
Disappointing end to a watchable series.
The finale is based on a collection of events and pieced together as fiction. The actual historical accounts of the characters are a bit different.
spoiler Keoua really did lose two thirds of his army to a volcanic eruption/lava while in retreat but he himself was not killed on the lava field. Kamehameha killed him at a later time -
Finished Black Rabbit.
Pretty well wrapped up, no room for sequels of any sort really.......
Interesting dynamic of how much you put yourself out for family before breaking point.
As I mentioned Jude Law and Jason Bateman were excellent. Rest of the cast did their job too.
-
Finished S2 of Dark Winds.
Tidied up reasonably well, rather than the rushed final 5 mins, pretty much the whole last ep tied loose ends, and looks like it could genuinely end there too.
-
Just started Wayward.....definitely quite compelling so far.
Not sure why the lead cop is transexual, certainly not a common thing in 2003 ( fuck I feel old ) you kinda forget after awhile though. They/them/she/he/it is a good enough actor.
We've chopped through Dark Winds, Black Rabbit and now this in pretty quick succession. Was chatting with the girl, when was the last truly outstanding series that went on for ages and was brilliant. You know sort of Breaking Bad/Game of Thrones type good ?
I honestly can't think of one.
