If you liked Black Mirror you'll almost certainly like Electric Dreams

Both are anthology series and I liked both equally despite Black Mirror having a very high rating as compared to Electrics Dreams very good rating.  In fact,  I have found the Electric Dream anthology series to be a bit more thought provoking.  

A terrific cast are involved too including Steve Buscemi,   Geraldine Chaplin,  Brian Cranston,  Karin Anglin,  Greg Kinnear & Timothy Spall.

'Barry' is an absolute riot ... the best show I've seen this year.

Half hour episodes of the Comedy/Crime/Drama is the standard fare but it works well in that format (much like 'Homecoming' does with 30 minute episodes as well)

Bill Hader is cast ideally in the lead although Henry Winkler steals the show ... the show in its first year won 3 Emmy's and was nominated for 9 other Emmy awards.

Have we covered the good place with Ted Danson?  Just loving series one and two.

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2018/jan/10/slow-train-coming-sbs-to-air-17-hour-ghan-train-on-sunday

Following the success/controversy of airing a three-hour extract of a train trip through the Australian outback, SBS has decided to air a 17-hour version of the journey on Sunday.

Could be interesting... trying to remember but didn't SBS have a test pattern or similar years ago that rated quite well?

The ABC have a camera on a freshly painted wall, it’s a tough choice between watching this and the Ghan on SBS. 

The visual media Corporate's are just getting ready for the Free to Air shutdown.   The Indian-Pacific and test patterns will star again.

TV bandwidth is wanted for 5G mobile telecommunications.

 

Corporate's are using this reason to burn off Free TV.

A new show that might be worth a look is 'Emergence' ... Here's the IMDb link

Channel 9 are showing the series soon or the DVD of the completed first series could be available.  Haven't seen the show yet but I like the premise & storyline.  Sci-fi/Drama/Mystery

And the trailer ...

 

And 'Evil' looks to be interesting as well ... IMDb link

If you have Netflix check out 'The Kominsky Method'. Starring Michael Douglas as an acting coach and Alan Arkin as his agent, two grumpy old friends. Both funny and sad. Fantastic. Won Golden Globes etc. 2 seasons (16 episodes, but only 26 minutes each, so they are bite size).

I've been watching the What We Do in the Shadows series on Foxtel... fantastic!  Also just started watching an oldish series (2016) Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency on NetFlix and it's shaping up as a brilliant watch.

What a Brilliant show. 3 Seasons so far....

Just watched the first 2 episodes ... I'm hooked (totally)  Great recommendation Wyl.

There's quite a bit of excellent European Drama to watch ... just need to find the time to watch it all!

It’s superb. I watched 6 eps on the first night!!

Yep ... doing that as I heard the English dubbed version is lousy and I never watch dubbed version's anyway.

It's quite a lavish production ... they've spared no expense and the various story lines already look very interesting.  Costumes,  acting,  cinematography & set designs are superb.  German film making at its finest.

Set nearly 100 years ago but the viewer feels like you're taken back to that time period.

I will binge on this show!

It cost a huge amount, maybe the highest budget drama from Germany. 
A 4th Season was in planning when Covid hit

'Perry Mason 2020' (TV Drama Series)

Set in the early 1930's ... crime-drama, gritty,  realistic, top quality,  high production values

Borrows very little from the iconic TV series but there are a few links that fit nicely

I can't remember where I read that season 3 was the last. I was under that impression but just doing some " research " have found they may be filming again in 2021. Shall see what happens.

Watched the first episode of Vienna Blood the other day - looks the goods already.  Period Crime Drama set in Vienna in the late 19th Century

3 episodes (90 mins each) out with another 3 to come soon ... on SBS & SBS Demand

That’s what i had read as well, i sure hope so. It deserves to be a longer run.

It’s wonderful, just carries on seamlessly 


@dl4e  @Sir Why You Little

 

At a guess we might see season 4 released in Sept/Oct this year (well worth the wait in my view)

 

Babylon Berlin filming for season 4 to begin in early 2021

Yes i have my fingers crossed Macca

but Germany is about to Lockdown again, so we can only hope 

closed sets are hard to manage

I just watched the first part of Exposed The Ghost Train Fire.

Compelling viewing. Although the interviews with the fathers of 2 of the victims and the widow/mother of other victims were heartbreaking.

I commend this to fellow 'landers.

'Resident Alien' is good for a few laughs ... surprisingly so in fact

Seems like an old idea but they've done it well.  Alan Tudyk is very good in the lead role ... the show can be viewed on 9Now

Edited by Macca

'Jack Irish' is back starring Guy Pearce and in this new series, Gary Sweet.  Good show

2nd episode of series 3 airs next Sat on the ABC at about 9.00pm (episode 1 is available on iview)

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
