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

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)

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
