Mate of mine reads the comics so kinda spoiled it for me (although the show rarely sticks to comic script, so still wasn't sure how it would pan out)

Going to watch it a bit later on. You guys have me excited!

Further to my discussions regarding the EPL it seems there is a third option and it looks like this is the way it's headed. Optus are planning to run the EPL on Fetch TV. If you subscribe to Fetch via Optus it could possibly be included in your subscription. If you are subscribed to Fetch through another IP you would be required to pay extra on top of your subscription.

Got the apple tv and its pretty good. It wasnt exactly plug and play but its working. I'm currently watching the test in NZ. The quality of picture is about 90 to 95%.

If you like movies and tv series then this is for you.


How did you watch it? Just google a live stream and find it?


Benny its on Sportsdevil > Sport > Cricket. ESPN also are showing it but I can't viuch for the quality because it hasn't started.

Season 2 of "Better Call Saul" has started to air on Stan. Watched the first episode last night, and it's up to the high standard set by Season 1. Worth a look if you've watched Breaking Bad or not.

I started watching the first episode of 11.22.63 on Stan.

TV series based on the book of the same name by Stephen King. I've read about half of the book.

The episodes are added as they are shown on TV, so only the first episode is available right now. Got most of the way through it, but being an hour and 20 minutes, I had to go do something else before it finished.

Enjoying it so far.

Stars James Franco as the protagonist who goes back in time to 1960 to try to stop the assassination of JFK.

My wife raised this as a possible goer, but I was a bit skeptical. Keen to know how it goes.

I started to have a gawk at this. Odd, a bit slow, but interesting. Like 'JFK' (duh) meets 'Back to the Future'. The long episodes are a bit of a struggle.

They have done a great job in recreating early sixties America, though. There's come cracking yank tank cars on show.

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
