I rarely watch TV besides the footy but have recently been  visiting( bothering) some friends who have Stan to watch a show called Preacher. It's based on a 90s comic book which I was a fan of back in the day. Don't expect superheros though.

There are a number of podcasts surrounding 'Stranger Things' but I found the following one to be amongst the better ones ...

Dungeons & Demogorgons - A 'Stranger Things' Podcast by the "Bald Move Crew."

For those of you who have  a strange sense of humour, Rik & Morty is quite amusing.  Also IT Crowd is quite good too.

Agreed. Both are an acquired taste though haha 

Anyone gotten through Stranger Things s2? Really enjoyed it again. Wasn't sure it'd live up to S1.

Loved Mindhunter too.

Just started ST2, finding it very slow.

If it's spy/espionage/drama (mini-series) that is to your liking,  here are some recent releases that are of good quality. 

From the UK ... The Night Manager & The Game. 

From the US ... The Assets & Rubicon

In series form,  Spooks (UK) & Berlin Station (US) are also very good although Spooks finished up in 2011.

Some popular sub titled series:

Deutschland 83 ( German spy drama... light hearted but serious subject)

Engregage/Spiral ( Fantastic French Crime Show)

Spin ( Another French Political drama. Very good.)

The Legacy ( Danish Family Drama)

1864 ( Danish war classic about their war with Prussia ... in a way the Danish Gallipoli)

and for a change one of my favourites: Lillehammer (not too dark comedy)

Thanks Ethan, you recommended " The Fall", finished all of it and enjoyed it.

The wife and I just finished Stranger Things season 1 and we loved it. Onto season 2, keep recommending the good stuff.

Really enjoyed season 2 of 'Stranger Things' D77 ... watched it with the family and found it to be wonderful entertainment.   The music accompanying the show was fabulous too.  9/10 for me. 

Am going to start watching 'Chance' ... know very little about the show apart from a brief outline of the plot and that it stars Hugh Laurie.  He was fantastic in 'The Night Manager' so I probably won't be disappointed with this new show.

 

Edit: Watched the first 2 episodes of 'Chance' and it's very very good.   A psychological thriller with some 'Breaking Bad' type elements.  Laurie is great as usual.

Hi Macca, we finished season 2 of 'Stranger Things' a few days ago. We thought it was brilliant entertainment. 

Knew very little about the show, so glad I had a look at this thread. 

I'll put 'Chance' on the list, we enjoy the thrillers, cheers.

We need to watch as much TV as possible to combat the long wait for the ' Game Of Thrones' finale.

You'll like 'Chance' if you like Hugh Laurie ... got through 3 episodes in all last night and it's brilliant.  'Noir' influences as well with all the players - Film Noir is possibly my favourite movie genre so the show works for me on a lot of levels.

But it's each to their own with regards to sports & entertainment, D77.  As is often the case,  the first 3 episodes of a show decides things.

Half way through Godless the new Netflix "Western" mini series.

Thought after the first few episodes that it might rival Deadwood but after episode 3 I don't think so.

That being said well worth watching.

Guardian gave it five stars:

"Godless, Netflix’s new seven-part miniseries, opens in 1884, in Creede, Colorado, with a thick cloud of smog shrouding the camera. The haze slowly dissolves to reveal a chilling landscape: parched bodies being tended to by swarms of flies; a man, sedentary, with a gunshot through his head; a train-wreck near which a young boy hangs from a noose; and a woman, crouched over a corpse, singing mournfully about Christ. It’s a near-wordless several minutes, a triumph of mood and cinematography, that evokes the sort of rough-and-tumble anarchy of the great filmic frontiersman. Soon after, we’re in La Belle, New Mexico, where we learn who’s responsible for the massacre, and from thereon it’s guns blazing. "

Watched the Goodbye to Ripponlea studios on the ABC last night.

Excellent show. May have noticed a well known Demonlander in one of the shots.

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?

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
