The first episode of 'Better Call Saul' airs in a few days in the States ... the show is a prequel to Breaking bad but also apparently skips in time on occasions to post Breaking Bad and maybe even during the time span of Breaking Bad ... the show has the same creator - Vince Gilligan

Interview with Bob Odenkirk (Saul) re the show.

Further news on 'Better Call Saul' ... looks like the show might be a winner if the first episode is any sort of example.

Bob Odenkirk joins Andy Greenwald to discuss the premiere of 'Better Call Saul.'

'Fortitude' (airs on the ABC - starts this Sunday 15th)

A brand new drama that has received positive reviews (anything with Stanley Tucci in it is always worth a look)

Fortitude is a place like nowhere else on Earth.

Surrounded by the savage beauty of the polar landscape, its future sparkling with the promise of Arctic opportunity, wealth and discovery, Fortitude is one of the safest towns on earth.

There has never been a violent crime here. Until now.

The same crew who did the Breaking Bad podcasts are back doing podcasts about 'Better Call Saul'

The new season of 'True Detective' has started ... Foxtel is showing the new series on their showtime channel.

Keep an eye out for 'Mr Robot' too ... looks another winner.

Fargo season 2 has started ... plenty of good reviews and there's a number of familiar and notable actors such as Ted Danson, Kirsten Dunst, Nick Offerman & Brad Garrett in this season (amongst a few others from season 1) On SBS later this month.

'Homeland' is back as well (ch10) and 'Narcos' is well worth a look - on Netflix.

Mr Robot is back (season 2)

Another show to keep an eye out for ... The Bridge (A Swedish/Danish production) The French/UK have done a remake of the show called The Tunnel but the first season of 'The Bridge' was very good. 

Billions is also quite a good show and well worth a look.  Paul Giamatti & Damian Lewis are superbly cast as high-powered foes.

When did Mr Robot S2 start Macca?

Also Saul is a great prequel, really enjoying it.

Supposedly a show called IT Crowd is hilarious, I have not yet seen it.

Mr Robot (s02) has just started airing in the US so it's probably on 'Presto' (streaming) again ... you'll have to google etc.  IT Crowd is great but the show finished up some time ago.  Better Call Saul - excellent show. 

I've found a lot of European drama worth watching for those who like their drama to be real-life/gritty ... I'll post up a summary of what I've come across down the track.

You know i can not explain what my tastes are using genre terms, some of the terms i do not even understand how they relate to the show. But then again i am a simpleton.

There's a miriad of stuff to watch these days ... something for everyone. 

There's lots of stuff that doesn't necessarily appeal  but each to their own.

I've been watching Preacher and Outcast which are both new shows based on comics. I feel like they're dragging out a bit. 

I watched the first few episodes of Outcast, from TWD people, and was very meh, too religion focused for my liking.

Haven't had a chance to have a look at Preacher but did get to meet Craig Rosenberg recently, who is a writer on the show. Great guy and doing very well over in the US (worked on Lost for a long time), as are many other Australian film/TV people at the moment!

I just re-watched the original The Office and the brilliance of this show just blows me away every time. Still Gervais' best work by a mile, and craps all over the American version.

There's a show called 'Ascension' on Netflix that has an interesting premise. Kennedy approves and launches and inter-generational spaceship in the 60's in secret, with the aim of preserving the human race in case of nuclear war. Now, 50 years later, the ship is populated by the children and grandchildren of the original crew, and has its own political system and society. The ship is rocked by its first ever murder and they are completely unequipped to investigate and handle the situation.

It sounds very interesting.

Do not be fooled. It is horrible. Stay well clear.

2 very disappointing shows are Vinyl & Roadies...some impressive people behind both (Jagger/Scorsese & Cameron Crowe) but total flops. How could they get it so wrong.

Not sure if there will ever be a good rock drama on the tele?????

Nashville is a good soap & guilty pleasure on Country music.

Okay - I am a man with a short attention span and commitment issues. I am devoted to Game of Thrones and that is pretty much it however we are going away for almost a month over September ( I got that right...)  - what series should I download and take with me ?

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
