I've been hearing about that one. They compare it to Frontier (which I also haven't seen yet).

By "fucking mental" I'm guessing you mean good, so I think I will check it out. Frontier too. There's a break in what's watchable out there for me.

Hey, when's Netflix going to offer up some more superhero goodness?

Soon. Iron Fist should be out in March. The Defenders are rumoured to be out late in the year. Also, second seasons of Jessica Jones and Luke Cage are in the works.

And season 2 of Stranger Things will likely be out later this year as well.

I stumbled across Young Drunk Punk on City and I'm laughing my ass off!

I wish they'd get greenlit for a second season, but that doesn't look likely at this point.

I wonder if there's any truth to this:

$1:
I admit it. I can sometimes be wrong about things. A year ago, I huffed my way through the pilot of Syfy’s The Magicians. The slick and sexy (and self-aware) show is based on Lev Grossman’s best-selling novel of the same name, and like that book, billed itself as an “adult Harry Potter.” Yes, that means it’s about a bunch of magical dweebs who go to a secret school for magic — but they drink and curse and have sex! OH MY!

Needless to say, I found the pilot to be a tad bit too cringe-worthy for my taste. Worse, the “ordinary kid who discovers he’s the magical chosen one who must defeat a great evil — but first WIZARD SCHOOL!” trope felt altogether overdone for me.

However, over the year, I kept hearing rumblings that The Magicians was actually good. If you could brave the wobbly first few episodes, it was supposed to turn into a smart and engaging series (that some critics are now hailing as the successor to Buffy the Vampire Slayer). And so I started to get curious. This past Sunday, I had a few hours to kill and a need for escapism, so I fired up Netflix and gave The Magicians another try. To my delight, Season One of The Magicians quickly morphed into one of the best and most satisfying binge-watches I can recall. Seriously! I only have one more episode left. I can’t stop watching it.

I tried a few minutes of the debut when it began and thought it sucked. I forgot about it, but maybe I'll try it again.

I've been watching a new channel that's been on preview; BBC Earth.

Planet Earth episodes one after another. Amazing documentaries with so much footage I haven't seen before.

I'm enjoying the free preview right now because you know they will lump that in with a bunch of useless channels soon enough.

There are two kinds of realism in science fiction: scientific accuracy (which is always debatable when it comes to space travel), and social insight. If you’re lucky, you’ll get one. And if you’re watching The Expanse, returning for its second season tonight on Syfy, you’ll get whopping doses of both. Plus you’re in for one helluva ride.


"The Expanse" is the badass epic space opera you need right now

I watched episode one and found it a snoozer. Changed the channel after about 30 minutes.

The teasers turned me off... and those are supposed to be the good parts.

Not a TV show, but worth a look.
