Watched the first episode of "The Divide" on Netflix.

It's a US drama about the death penalty. A young Philadelphia lawyer-to-be assists at a not-for-profit organization that tries to get convicted people who might be innocent retried. Her dad was wrongly executed, so she has a personal grievance with the system, and she's trying to get a convicted crim who is about to be executed retried through whatever means are necessary.

Not bad, I reckon I'll keep at it. It's a legal drama, but not like most other ones out there - less courtroom bullshit with lawyers pontificating (at least so far).

Vikings is a bloody brilliant show... The wife has a massive thing for Ragnar, and Lagatha is just stunning... We love it...

Peaky Blinders is great to, can't wait for season 3 to start...

Have started watching Vinyl as well, starting out pretty good, and I reckon will just get better and better.

Mrs. Jase and I have also been watching War and Peace, which is filmed fantastically but is pretty slow, to much Peace, not enough War.

Watched the first episode of 'Mad Men' on Netflix last night... Pretty good, but how at least 5 characters didn't die due to lung cancer in that episode, I have no idea

Mad men is awesome, how have you not seen it already.

Some of the best writing in any show ever. Enjoy.

not sure if ive mentioned it already but going through the whole of How I met your mother again on Netflix... Just reminded me how good a show it was...
In my Top 3 sitcoms for me.

The last few seasons were pretty average, turned into a nostalgia fest - remember how funny we were back in the day...


I have just started watching "freaks and geeks" again as my wife hadn't seen it. Honestly some of the best television ever, such a shame it never got more than a single season.

I'm just through Ep 2 of season 2 of Better Call Saul.

This show just keeps getting better and better.

I watched the first season of Breaking Bad when it first came out, but I might watch it all the way through once I've finished this season of BCS.

Also watched the third episode of 11.22.63 that was released on Stan last night. Such a good show. If you haven't watched it, get on board. Franco is a great actor.

[bennymacca]

So you have watched bcs but not breaking bad? Interesting. Shows that the show does indeed stand on its own two feet

[HH3]

Well its a prequel anyway, so Breaking Bad hasn't even happened yet.

[bennymacca]

Yeah, but part of the appeal for me was them giving back stories to saul and mike, and it giving context to where they end up in bb. I knew it was good in its own right but I expected that almost everyone that watched it also watched bb.


House of cards new season also coming out soon

House of cards new season also coming out soon

All of season four available from today.

Already watched the first two episodes tonight, keen to binge up across the weekend. So far, so good. Frank's got his work cut out for him to be re-elected, but he's also up to his old tricks.

Me and the Mrs watched an entire season of Guys Grocery Games on SBS On Demand over the weekend.

About 10 episodes into a season of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives (also a Guy Fieri show).

Good lighthearted food entertainment.
