Rate West Wing highly.

Interesting to hear. From what I've seen so far, it comes across a bit schmaltzy in places. I was hoping it would resemble something closer to 'House of Cards' in terms of political machinations and less like a melodrama about political staffers. That said, the writing is great, and the characters are mostly engaging. The soundtrack, on the other hand, is covered in syrup and sounds like a B-side from an episode of 'Murder She Wrote.'

I like House of Cards as well

Yes, me too (without the hashtag), although the second to last season fell away a bit, and I avoided the final one without Spacey.

I was a West Wing fan back in the day! Used to come on before Renegade which is also a fav of mine

Just reached the end of season two of ‘The West Wing’, and I must says its really hit its stride. Some really well crafted telly drama, even though its storytelling format has aged somewhat.

Also found the time to start watching ‘30 Rock.’ Glad I did, bloody funny stuff.

Just watch the Dont **** With Cats documentary series.

Really good watch and crazy to think how what looked to be a 'minor' case escalated to a world wide hunt.

Also crazy to see how easy it is for the 'average punter' to track and trace a persons location, details etc.

Finished Peaky ******* Blinders, season 6 set to drop in 2021....

Agreed, I really enjoyed it.

Some people have way too much time on their hands

I’m watching “Occupied” at the moment
Really good so far

I watched a short doco called "Sacrifice" by Derren Brown. WOW!

Messiah looks interesting. Still in the 1st episode
I’ll report back after the third

It’s still interesting
I’m into Episode 5
It would appear he is the prophet for all 3 middle eastern religions & is performing miracles. (Dallas Cowboys are looking for a new coach)
If you don’t know but loosely speaking: Judaism, Christianity & Islam all barrack for the same God. It’s just the prophets who differ.
The CIA and Shin Bet are trying to work out what he’s up to.
I don’t think it’s for everyone but I like this Middle East stuff.
I’m sticking with it. There are 10 episodes in Season 1. I hope it starts getting to some reasoning and doesn’t just crawl along to another series

Episode 8: it’s still got me but I don’t know why.
But that’s the plot...

Yes really enjoyed this. The last part when they synced it with the movie, wow.

Agreed. First couple of seasons are really good, haven't had a chance to check out the latest yet.

Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez... Watched this 3 part series in one sitting... Really good and worth a look

Bloody stupid question I know so apologies in advance. We're about to piss off Foxtel and get Netflix. Is it easy to set up? What do you need to do to set it up? We have just purchased a pretty flash brand new TV with the netflix on it so I gather that will make it easier? That gets delivered tomorrow.

If you have a smart tv with Netflix installed all you need to do is sign up with Netflix....
