I'm rewathcing the newsroom! Such good TV, not a weak actor, character or line of dialogue in the show. Too bad this was cancelled. This show doing the Trump years would be gold

I have no idea what show you're talking about QT. Are you sure it exists? Maybe you imagined it?

Sonofabitch, this is what I get for not paying enough attention around here!

Nope, I'm only a few eps into S1 so far, but I'm loving it.

Take notes on who's who and any questions that come to mind as you progress. You will be REALLY glad you did by the halfway/three quarter point of S1.

Watching The Boys---it has some great images, engaging plot, good acting. Granted, I've never read the comics, so it's all fresh for me.
Was thrown a little when someone referred to Butcher as British---thought his accent clearly sounds Australian in many places. Turns out the actor's from New Zealand and the character in the comics is supposed to be from East London. Doesn't sound much like Flight of the Conchords though (... and iirc they do a much more convincing Cockney accent, even though they're trying to be funny...). Otherwise excellent performance... at this point they should probably just change his backstory.
https://www.reddit.c...a_strange_mess/
Edit: Could be intentional:
'In the show, there’s a chance to add another layer to the character, and this is where the bad accent (dubbed as Cockwi by many fans due to the actor’s natural New Zealand accent coming through) comes into play. It’s poking fun at the character, combining Urban’s natural accent and the supposed accent of the character. [...] Getting the character of Billy Butcher just right was important for the show. During the panel at NYCC 2018, Eric Kripke and Evan Goldberg explained that the creator of the graphic novel, Garth Ennis, wanted to make sure the dialogue and accent was just right. He had a lot of criticism over some of the dialogue. [...] It would seem impossible that Urban’s accent on The Boys was a mistake'

My wife and I settled on Suits as our next show to watch together...it's really fucking good! We're in season 2 right now.

I just saw the first episode of the new HBO show, Beforeigners.
It was pretty good! Goods story, nice concept, good acting and interesting characters.

Just started watching the final season (season 3) of Legion.
First episode in and that scene with the band Superorganism tells me this final season is going to be cray-cray!

Yah I'm almost done with the latest season of Glow and it's maybe the best yet.
I watched the whole of S1 today. It's great.

Not sure if this is streaming internationally (hope it is), but Netflix also has a documentary on the real GLOW that is pretty darn good.
They came with white hands and left with red hands.

It doesn't drop till next Friday, but I will once it has and I've had chance to watch.
CARNIVAL ROW also drops on Amazon Prime that weekend, so I've got busy TV coming up! I better get through DARK before them too.
