Just finished 'Messiah' and really not sure what to make of it. At times i thought it was going to be fantastic, but in the end its left me feeling really flat. Just enough to keep you interested, but failing to deliver anything else. Still, id give series 2 a go if there is one, but pretty underwhelmed at the end.

Agree with all that mate good review
 
Band of Brothers, for about the 4th time! Double episodes on Sky Atlantic every Friday night.

Extremely late on it, but just started Boardwalk Empire, love Steve Buscemi as an actor, he's good in this, as you'd expect, 2/3 through S1 so far.

Started watching Watchmen the other night strictly based on the reviews it got on here. Persevered with it until episode 4. Fell asleep half way through that and won't be going back to it.
Load of crap.

On another note, watched half (netflix crapped out) of episode one season one of Occupied and thought it looked promising.

Is it any good?

I really liked it but I had some prior knowledge of it having played the games. Despite that it was still confusing at times as the timelines aren’t always clear. Heard others without such knowledge say it was too difficult to understand. If you’ve played the games or read the books I’d wager you’ll like it.
 
New series out called Deputy which stars Stephen Dorff ( Deacon Frost in Blade) looks very interesting

Cheers — I have played the games, but not read the books, and ended up watching it last night during one of my customary bouts of insomnia.

While I thought it had a few redeeming elements, and will probably watch the next series if it comes, I did think it was a bit disjointed (not even related to the different timelines; the threaded arches themselves just weren’t integrated very well) and some of the characters/relationships were really underdeveloped. Some of the fight choreography was very well done, though, and Henry Cavill really makes Geralt a living, breathing... err, mutant. I’ve read that he did all of the fights and stunts himself, which is impressive. Special mention to Anya Chalotra who also does a superb job bringing Yennefer to life — though, I think her agent should have probably negotiated her contract a bit better.

All of that said, it seemed more a prologue than a fully formed opening series, so perhaps the second will be more cohesive and impactful now that they’ve got all of the world building and basic character establishment done?
 
Finished the Witcher... underwhelmed, and I've read the books and played all three games plus the gwent standalone too. Not bad enogh to drop by any means, just not very exciting, and that mages defending the keep thing in the last episode was just pants.

Decided to watch BBC's Dracula next. One episode down, was enjoying it at first, slow but building suspense, then all of a sudden Dracula had turned into a Cockney cheeky chappie who likes to wisecrack and talks in puns. All he needs is his own drum set and cymbal. Turned from gotthic drama to stand up at the frog and bucket in seconds.

Ok. Fresh start, something new. Been meaning to watch the lost in space reboot on Netflix so hopefully that will be better.

The first series of Lost in Space is decent. The missus and I just tried to watch the second (just released) and only made it through the 10th minute of the third episode before the cringe and predictability became too much and we just gave up. Viewer beware.
 
It's cringeworthy when you go to a friends house and they are watching stuff like love Island or I'm a celebrity and expect you to like it because "Everyone" does. And adverts, get rid of the adverts by cutting the cord.

One of my new favourite series Ancient Aliens, I watch it tongue in cheek and the mad scientist with the massive hair is a proper treat.
