Yeah, it is all distopian futuristic in nature, that is the connecting theme. But they are all stand-alone episodes, watch any you like in any order.

I've got some bad news for those of you really enjoying season 3 of Daredevil.

Although, I havent watched 3 yet, so maybe it fits?



Or its yet another title that will be moved to Disney's streaming service?

I don’t think the existing seasons will move for a long time... Netflix invested in them, Marvel just loaned out the IP.I do think Marvel / Disney will do something ‘new’ eventually. Heroes For Hire / Defenders, etc. Anyone’s guess if it’s the same cast.

[Tiste Simeon]

White Bear is one of my favourites. Such a brutal ending.

[worry]

My prediction is BK's favorite episode will be: Metalhead

I watched all of KORRA as it aired, but I’d never watched the original Airbender. Watching now, and it’s fantastic. Almost done s1.

[worry]

Heck yeah!

Is there a Daredevil thread? OMG, how good is season 3? Fucking Kingpin A

It's been amazing. Wife and I have one episode left. It's been even better than previous seasons.

I gave up at first after 2 EP's. Then my brother said it was amazing so thought i'd give it a chance and I am glad I did.

[QuickTidal]

Nearly done S1 of AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER, and it's been really excellent thus far.

Sokka is my spirit animal.

I cannot get over how good 'Inside no.9' is. Honestly, if you like dark comedy and things like 'Black Mirror', this series is an absolute gem. And, like Black Mirror, it is all stand-alone episodes so no need to watch anything in order. You can just pick any random episode. Great stuff.

New Watership Down on BBC and Netflix just before Christmas.

Not sure what to make of it but I don't much like the look of the CGI....

As I saw someone write on another site about it.

They spent ALL the money on the CGI rabbits, and everything else looks like PS3 graphics from a 2003 video game.

I'll stick to the original animated feature film, which is still excellent.

[TheRetiredBridgeburner]

To be honest I don't think the rabbits look that hot either.....

My worry is that the BBC tend to put the cartoon on at Easter and the last couple of years there's been a rise in stupid complaints about it being put on when it's "too dark" for kids (because apparently parental responsibility for what children watch isn't a thing) - so I have a nasty feeling it's going to be pandering to that, although I hope not.

It's one of my favourite books and I do love the cartoon film... I'll give it a try and see. I think it's four hours in total and a peek at the cast list suggests we're getting a lot of book characters who didn't make it into the cartoon, so we shall see.

Indeed. So the already cruddy BBC budget was used to make the rabbits look like PS3 2003 video game characters and the 20pounds leftover was used to make the background look like PS2 game CGI from the late 90's.

LOL

Aww you guys are being too harsh. Think of all the man-hours it must have taken to make dozens of little bunny mo-cap suits, wrangling bunnies into them, teaching them to act, especially in front of a green screen (which is hard enough for humans), etc.

Recently been getting through a lot on Netflix while I've been looking after the boy and allowing my wife to get some sleep...

American Vandal S2, just as entertaining as the first one though perhaps due to the fact that it went down the path of some actually serious criminal activity, it didn't have such a fun feel to it.

Happy! Wow, brutally dark at times and pretty darn funny throughout I really enjoyed it and if the rumours of a season 2 are true I'll definitely watch it, though it's not for the squeamish.

Dark Tourist, New Zealand journalist travels the world going to places where the draws are more macabre and sometimes scary/disturbing than your usual tourist spots. Pretty interesting!

My wife and I have also been working through White Collar, which is quite formulaic but light hearted, fun and genuinely funny at times. Nice easy watch on the whole.

[QuickTidal]

Oh man, AVATAR season 2 has been ever better than S1!

The episode with

Spoiler

Zuko failing at lighting-bending and then standing on the mountaintop in the rainstorm DEMANDING and THREATENING the sky to strike him down was particularly emotional. The tears streaming down his face are quite telling.

Still no idea what happened to his mom (I assume his father killed her?), or how he got his burns...but I love me a solid character growth like Zuko has been getting for 2.5 seasons. The episode where he helps the village form bandits, only to be shunned when they find out he's a prince of the fire nation? WELL DONE.

Also, Toph is such a great character add.

Just finished the midway episode of S2, the Library buried in the sands...REALLY amazing. The tiny callbacks they do on this show to seemingly inconsequential previous minor plot points shows how much care and intelligence went into the writing and structuring of this show.

Gonna re-watch KORRA after this too I think.

[Tiste Simeon]

Is that the one

where he's made to rob a bank cos he's been looking at naughty stuff online?

[Malankazooie]

Ok, I'm greatly disappointed in you T.V. freaks again. How is it that no one has mentioned Crikey! It's the Irwins ?! I just found out this exists and it's already through the seventh episode of the first season. The Crocodile Hunter was my jam when I was knee high to a duck, so I'm going to have to check this out. Anyone have have an opinion on it? Good? Bad? Meh?

It has a pointed message about interfering with wild animals.
