I watched Bosch on recommendation from this thread.
I'm not normally down for police procedurals. But this one is really really good. I've never been endnotes with Titus Welliver and that's part of the reason this show kicks ass. He really nails a role that would be easy to botch. He has to express a mountain of emotion while being bottled up. He knocked it out of the park. Naturally with everything writing makes or breaks the series. And this is good. The thing that separates Bosch is that it isn't formulaic. Or at least doesn't feel that way. It lets the case and the overriding stories meander in a way that feels natural. Moreover the pacing is excellent. It doesn't try to stretch stories out or cram them into a box. That by itself really takes it above most police procedurals. Highly recommend |

Anyone watch the Brad Pitt Netflix movie, War Machine yet? Looks entertaining.

If you haven't watched it yet, Dark Matter's companion show on Syfy is (or has been, not sure if they're still blocked together later this summer...) Killjoys, which is about as close to Firefly as you can get these days. Really good show, too. |

Might start messing with my head keeping all of the dark dreary story lines straight, though. |

Killjoy's is pretty light. Though some dark shit happens from time to time... Overall a lighter show than Dark Matter.

Expanse is definitely not light. It's kind of like Game of Thrones in space.

Half of SA Corey, AKA the "person" behind The Expanse, is GRRM protege Daniel Abraham...
The other half is Ty Franck. Basically the novels are written collaboratively by two guys, and they're heavily involved with the tv production, too. It's the most expensive show syfy has ever done, and it shows. |

Started watching The Last Kingdom yesterday on Netflix. 12 hours later with half a season to go I feel safe in saying this is a really, really good show.

- your posts got me to start watching this weekend. When I got to the scene where he's jamming Wings' 'Jet' at the party, I decided to give it a listen. And 90% of the comments on the official video on youtube is from the past year people saying 'who's here because of that scene in Love?'
