I lasted two episodes before realising my time would be better spent staring out of the window with my head propped up on my arm, and drooling onto a table. You know, like the writers.
Narcos - The true story of drug lord Pablo Escobar with a bit of fiction thrown in. The more ludicrous the story gets, the more truth it actually contains.
Giving himself up to serve time in a prison he built for himself, with guards on his payroll, with hand-picked "inmates" and with no police allowed within 2 miles of the place? Yup. that happened.
I watched all ten parts over two nights. It was that good. Oberyn Martell from Game of Thrones was great as a sleazy cop.
I watched the final episode of MTV's
Scream earlier. It turns out that I'd guessed the killer's identity three episodes ago so I was left slightly disappointed there wasn't more of a story behind the murders. Considering I thought it was going to be crap though, it managed to hold my attention most of the time. Dedicating the episode to Wes Craven was a nice touch too.
Two episodes into
Fear The Walking Dead and I've given up already. Shit story, bad acting, naff script, and not a single character I even remotely like.
Go away.
Masters of Sex has taken a while to get going this series, even repeating itself in a couple of episodes. However, it seems that fingers have finally been pulled from orifices and things are moving along quite nicely again. Hardly the most explosively charged and action packed show on TV, but always worth watching.
John Oliver's
Last Week Tonight needs to be seen by more people. Brilliant stuff.
Review With Forrest Macneil suffered its first misfire this week. Two decent challenges but neither of them worked to their full potential. Otherwise, it's been excellent so far this series.
Under the Dome will finish forever at the end of this season. Noooooooooooo!
The final episode of
Mr Robot was postponed last week because of the reporter and her cameraman being shot dead on live TV. I wonder how close to the mark it actually was. Episodes of certain shows get postponed whenever there's a tragic real life shooting, but so many times there's very little - if anything - to link them. After Sandy Hook, an episode of Hannibal was removed because it featured a woman kidnapping children and getting them to murder their parents. Tenuous isn't the word.
