@taniwharugby I enjoyed the first 2 seasons but the 3rd is too far removed.

were you talking about Marcella? If so, yeah S3 could well have been a stand alone series, but still thought it was a decent watch

S1 of Dark - pretty good! GIven the main theme of the story, I did like how they did the side by side scenes to help you remember who was who!

Gotta say, I'm usually critical of seaosn finales, but this one was spot on and the final scene set up S2 perfectly!

@taniwharugby I really enjoyed S1. Viserys Targaryen is set to be a villain no matter what he's in now.

After a painful half hour arguing with the other half about what to watch we settled on this, starring Guy Pierce and a bunch of people I recognised from Neighbours back in the day. Quite entertaining so far, two episodes in. Guy is quite a funny bugger and the story is getting very intriguing. Will stay for the course I think.

@MN5 yeah that's not bad. I watched a bit a couple years back.

Bones

@MN5 yeah it's good, think I mentioned it on here only a couple of weeks ago. Fun watch.

Seal of approval from two Welly boys. That’s good enough for me.

Unsolved Mysteries - poor bastardised modern-day version of a program that routinely scared the crap out of me as a child.

All the eeriness is gone. All of the creepiness has been replaced with simple eye witness accounts and police reports. It's not that the stories aren't interesting or indeed "unsolved mysteries" it's the lack of reenactments and amping up the drama. It's just not the same.

To this day I think the scariest thing I remember from TV as a kid was the Telly Savalas story "I'll give you a ride" fro the aussie TV show The Extraordinary. Im a grown man and it still gives me the creeps

I saw that while babysitting ( early 90s ) and yes, eerie as all fuck.

Treadstone

Had it on the list for a while, but after binging some other series and smashing Civ 6 until I won, I never got around to it.

Fairly solid. Some decent fight scenes though I could do without some of the backstory rubbish about the journalist's childhood car accident. The CIA people are acting waaaaaaay over the top for people who are supposed to be psychologically tough.

War Of The Worlds

This has just started showing on SBS here - the series based (I guess) on the classic HG Wells novel. 2 eps in so far and pretty good - Gabriel Byrne and American Duchess from Downton are good and the French stuff is pretty good as well. Some interesting dynamics which I'll be watching from here on in on a Thursday night - old school!

Better than the Tom Cruise version I hope ?
