Previous series have been excellent.

Iron Fist is out on Netflix, anyone seen it yet?

Nope, not yet. Still trying to catch up on Daredevil season 2 and Luke Cage, but Ian doesn't like them so I only watch it when I'm in by myself (which is rare). I've heard mixed things about Iron Fist though... I'll still be watching it though.

We started watching The Americans recently, seems pretty good so far. Trailer below for anyone who hasn't heard of it:

Firefly is airing on Freeview for those that are mourning the end of Farscape series one.

I love Firefly! Such a shame there was only one series. Have you seen Serenity (the follow-on film)?

Got the series and film on my ABC film theater drive. Along with all the Futurama episodes and specials and Dr Who from 2008 onwards.

Your too young to remember the ABC Minors Club at the local cinemas nation wide back in the 60's, ah those were the days, original Rocket Man episodes to look forward to every week etc etc.

Those were the days, weekends were super exciting in them days.

I just realised I should have said 50's not 60's above.

Oh Happy days

 

[Abarbarian]

Oh Happy days

That was more 70's or 80's was it not.

 

[bootneck02]

Oh yes those were the daysMe and the children used to sit down to watch together, Oh Those were the HAPPY DAYS. Now they have grown up and flown the nest and got their own families

The Curse of Oak Island

I am watching this fascinating series on freeview at the moment. Will they won't they who knows.

Just watched all 6 episodes of Prime Suspect 1973 and enjoyed it, despite it being written by Lynda La Plante.

It did actually have the feel of 1973, they got the cars and the clothes right. Music was a bit hit and miss though - Roxy Music; Tubular Bells and Dark Side Of The Moon - correct. All that sixties stuff was not correct though.

I was about that year in my early twenties and managed to get both stitched up and beaten up by police officers in that year, I swear they weren't as nice and as straight as those in the TV series back then. And I don't recall ever seeing any black coppers in '73, let alone a black CID officer and I'm not sure whether white CID officers would have worked so well with a black colleague. I'd like to think I'm wrong thinking that but I'm probably not wrong.

I think in some respects 'Life On Mars' was more accurate in capturing attitudes in the seventies.

Life on Mars is starting on Drama (channel 20) tomorrow. Haven't seen it so will record whole series.

It's well worth watching! Hope you enjoy it
