Watched Dr Blake last night. ITV choice don't listen to rumour until it is established fact.
Annoying opposition supporters since 1967.

Altered Carbon on Netflix. Really enjoying some gritty cyberpunk Sci-Fi.

Has anyone else who watches them gone off the CW Comic book shows (Arrow/Flash etc). After the mid season break I just haven't missed them at all.

Watching Waco. 3 episodes have aired so far. I'm really enjoying it but feel a bit uncomfortable being so attracted to David Koresh.

I sort of went off Arrow. I have it on season record but only watched the crossover episode last year.

Still enjoying flash and supergirl, like the Legends. Pity they haven't bought Black Lightening onto Foxtel. :(
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I've given up Arrow before only to come back to it though it isn't must watch.

I still enjoy The Flash.

I finally gave up Supernatural about 8 years to late.

That show is Groundhog day.

Squinters on ABC iView.
6 half hour episodes based around car journey to and from work.
Enjoyable way to spend Sunday afternoon.

Started watching Godless (2) and Altered Carbon (1). Will get more viewing in this week. At the moment we have a lot of movies that are out there (weird).

Twin Peaks season 3... absolute shit. Total, unmitigated, pretentious, self indulgent wankery.

The Looming Tower.

It's based on an award winning non fiction book of the same name and looks at critical events that lead up to 9/11.

Whereas the book focused strongly on the terrorist masterminds the tv series looks more closely at the disconnect between the F.B.I. and C.I.A. and the warning signs missed/ignored prior to the Twin Towers attack.
