Current TV Boxset Addiction

[Smith]

I'm watching The Stand too and mostly enjoying it, seems a pretty decent adaptation of the book so far. Don't worry I understand that Trashcan Man makes an appearance in later episodes.

But does it have Liutenant Dan?

Can't be arsed seraching for the screengrab, but when King tweeted that the current pandemic was really nothing like the Stand, one irate fan replied "have you even read the fucking book?"

The second season is completely different but still a great story.

Cheers BB, had a look at a few previews for that last night - looks completely different as you say, but I will no doubt check it out.
Could anything top the cast, setting and plot from season 1 though?
Been a long, long time since I was so instantly taken with a TV show.

If I had to choose season 1 will be the winner but that does not take anything away from season 2.

I've braved teh first episode of The Watch, supposedly "inspired by" the Terry Pratchett bookd (and official, as they bought the rights)

ALmost universally hated, I quite liked episode one, but the simple fact is it is not improved in ANY WAY by using bastardisations of Pratchett characters. Would have been better as a generic show without the license.

See how it goes

I didn't know this show existed and now I do I feel life is just that little bit worse. 

Thank goodness I'm still rewatching Babylon 5.  Season 3 finale coming up tomorrow.

Started Season 4 of Black Sails. Episode 1 would have taken an entire season of Walking Dead (when it was at it's worst).

Yeah. They'd decided ahead of time that this would be the last series, so it rattles along at a fair old clip and I don't think it's a spoiler to say that they stick the landing (for me, at least).

True for me as well. I enjoyed every season of Black Sails. No unnecessary pondering around

Started The Expanse. People have been shilling it to me for years but I was always like "Yeah,SyFy channel..."
Promising so far.

I liked it from the start, but it's fair to say that S1 is the slowest season by far. There's a lot of very necessary world-building going on, which I enjoyed but which some people seem to have found off-putting.

[The Legendary Shark]

World building is, perhaps unsuprisingly, often the aspect I enjoy the most and I think The Expanse makes a particularly good job of it.

No, he resleeved?
