Rostered On is a beaut new show on YouTube.

It reminds me of my years of retail experience... or punishment. Same difference.

Loving House of Cards.
Can't wait for next season. S4 was epic.

Right into The Man In the High Castle at the moment.
Set in 1962 USA, but the Axis powers won the war and America is ruled by Germany on the east coast and Japan on the west.
Some great acting in it, particularly after watching The 100 the other night. Whoever did the script and casting on that one needs to be shot.

It's a cliffhanger, twists, turns, just don't know what will happen next

Started watching Daredevil last night on Netflix... Only 2 episodes in and very much enjoying it...

[bennymacca]

it kind of drags a bit towards the end imo, but a decent show

[HH3]

Yeah I lost interest with one episode left in season one.

There are some good episodes, but you can only get by on good fight scenes for so long. I need brain stimulation god dammit!

I try to catch Backpage most weeks on foxtel.

Enjoyed last nights show. Good mix of sports covered, in a light hearted kind of way. It really is "take your brains out TV" which is just what I am after on a Tuesday night.

Tony Squires generally does a pretty good job as host, although at times (think Adam Goodes) the show becomes his own personal soapbox. Regular Panel memebers Crash Craddock (who I always thought was a hack juorno) and Kelli Underwood often have some good input. Kelli to her credit pretty much sticks to what she knows.

Guest panellists every week, often Ryan Fitzgerald gets a gig. I know he is not too everyone's taste, but I actually quite like him. Quick witted and funny sometimes a bit edgy.... to be honest last night was not his best edition.

I do "tune out" a bit for the 10-12 minutes of NRL talk.... I am just not much of a fan.

The epic fails every week are good for a chuckle.

The AFL coverage is often just whatever is happening at the Swans....I make this criticism of just about every Sydney based sports show, or news service. However the last few weeks has been a bit broader than that.

If you have foxtel, or can get to a venue where its showing on a Tuesday night - 7pm.... you may want to tune it.

I don't mind it but craddock is a tool. The rest of the panel are pretty good though

Craddock does seem to have an annoying kind of personality. As I said, I never really enjoyed reading much of his work. However at times he makes some decent points, and he has a better sense of humour than is apparent in his columns.

Squires is a good presenter, again at times, particularly last season during the Adam Goodes booing stuff... Squires was bloody annoying in the way he approached that topic. Not wanting to open that can of worms again..... but as he is clearly a one eyed (uneducated in AFL term) swans supporter, he didn't get that other AFL fans consider Goodes to be an ordinary bloke..... People can hold an opinion (rightly or wrongly) and its has NOTHING to do with race.

The guests can be good or bad - in the past few weeks it's been Fitzy & Adam Spencer..... at other times Flem gets a go, sometimes there may be an NRL player (either past or present) that I have no idea of.

I enjoy it, mindless entertainment, nothing more; nothing less.

[bennymacca]

Yeah, they're not aiming for in depth analysis as the 360s are for that

[Corona Man]

I have gone off 360 a bit this season.... not really sure why, Maybe as the season cranks up I will tune in a bit more.

[bennymacca]

it was pretty average when they had Jake Niall filling in for robbo. only caught a bit of it with Eddie last night, not sure how it was

How bad was that? Let Gerard run it on his own or even put someone useless next to him, but for the love of God please no more Jake Niall!!

[bennymacca]

I would honestly prefer kingy
