decent new TV series

The Good Place.
Ted Danson, Kristen Bell. Funny little series about ending up in a fake 'good place' which is actually the bad place, after dying.
Unlike any other show, very enjoyable.

Not a series but a movie - just noticed it in the TV guide. Its on on tonight on SBS (but probably viewable afterwards on the SBS On Demand web site).

Only caught the last half when it was previously broadcast and it really grabbed my interest Really well filmed with a good cast (some cameos) and some big budget sets. Its very dour in parts, sort of a cross between Mad Max and Hitchhikers Guide (and other things I can't think of right now).

A good watch if you've had enough footy viewing after the Pies loss.

Title: Children of Men

8:30PM - 10:30PM

This stunning sci-fi epic envisages a future world that has fallen into anarchy, on the heels of an infertility defect in the population that has made humankind face the likelihood of its own extinction. Set against a backdrop of London torn apart by violence, this film follows an unlikely champion of Earth's survival: Theo, a disillusioned ex-activist turned bureaucrat, who is forced to face his own demons and protect the planet's last remaining hope for a future generation.

Tried a couple of times to watch true detective 3 bu5 couldn’t get into it, was flicking channels and started watching some show for 10 min, not bad, had a look it was the 5th episode, i had no idea what I was watching. Taped i5 and jus5 finished the last episode, brilliant, though the question remains, did he remember to tell his partner about the girl??!!

The Orville has hooked me after 1 episode. Seth MacFarlane Sci-fi/Comedy. Kind of like Star Trek meets Red Dwarf. Funnily enough many Star Trek fans prefer this as a 'spiritual successor' to Star Trek rather than the official Star Trek Discovery.

If I'm honest Game of Thrones has never been nearly as good once the show runners no longer had the book material to work from but boy I was so so disappointed by last week.

It felt like a mix of Harry Potter meets Lord of the Rings and was full of the tropes Martin himself stated he wanted to subvert when he wrote GOT.

The Recording Studio on the ABC - absolutely loving it!!

New season of Todd Sampson Body hack starts tomorrow (Tuesday 25/6)

In the first episode, I think, he spends 3 weeks in the Gaza strip. Quite a confronting experience apparently. Worth a look.

[Morrigu]

^ yes indeed - will be watching for sure!

[Morrigu]

Bloody hell that was hard to watch! So sad and so pointless and no hope that it will change anytime soon

^

i'll have to catch it on a re-run, I was watching the cricket.

[Morrigu]

^ don't watch it whilst eating if you are squeamish - poor old hubby was going a bit green whilst I was calmly explaining which muscle they had removed to relocate during reconstructive surgery - soft!!

[stui magpie]

hah, OK, I'll watch it when the old girl is out the back then.
