The last of us was ok nothing special, usually when a series is pushed down your throat ie counting down the days till it’s on it ends up being shite just like The Rig, now if you watch Mayor of Kingstown you can see the difference.
The first series of Mayor of Kingstown was fantastic,and it went under the radar as far as i can tell.
I'll be starting season 2 shortly.
Get well soon Jeremy!

I enjoyed it.
Hope they stop after one season so as not to overrun things.
I also thought John Hannah looks old if that was not make up on him.
He is 60,so i dont think he looked too bad.

There's a few reasons why The Last Of Us has been so well received.The last of us was ok nothing special, usually when a series is pushed down your throat ie counting down the days till it’s on it ends up being shite just like The Rig, now if you watch Mayor of Kingstown you can see the difference.
The acting and production values are excellent and it captures the tone of the videogame perfectly.
Also it's extremely faithful to the videogame (some scenes are actually shot for shot) This is no surprise as the writer of the show Neil Druckman also wrote the videogame. Playing the game is actually like playing an interactive movie as they made the story the most important part of the game.
Even though I knew what was going to happen to Joel's daughter having played the game it still got to me emotionally.
It's definitely so far the best TV/Movie adaptation of a videogame
Am waiting till last of us is finished before watching, apparently it sticking to the game play out so if you played the game you know what’s coming and how it ends! Still looking forward to watching it though…

We're watching the Rig which seems a bit Lost, only done 2 eps though.
We've just finished The Thief, Wife, Canoe which was excellently funny and hit home at the end.

Watched it after I’d watched The Last Of Us last night. Bloody hell some of the acting was so wooden, don’t think I will bother with the rest of it.
Just finished series 2 of Mr Inbetween. Not quite as good as series 1, but still superb stuff. Its funny, sad, brutal at times and the characters are just brilliant. Will leave it a couple of weeks i think before starting s3. Defo one of the best things i've watched in a while.
