    5 episodes in and apparently 6 series to go... it should keep me occupied for a while.
    Justified is brilliant - and a proper fantastic ending.

      New series of Bosch. One of my favourites.

          If anyone enjoyed Justified then another decent show in a similar vain is Banshee.

          It's somewhat more violent though with some proper brutal fights. I think the scene where 'bad guy bodyguard' fights 'american indian woman' is one of the most things I've seen on TV. You'll know the bit I'm on about when you watch it. I feel a bit just thinking about it.

          Edit: Fun fact, the main guy is played by the same actor that is psycho superman in The Boys. Both fantastic performances.

          Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

            I started watching The Boys but struggled to get into it. I like the premise so will give it another try and see if it grows on me.

              Also, if anyone has not seen Rectify I heartily recommend it. A slow burner but full of great acting.

                Not sure which episode it is but the bit where psycho superman and another 'superhero' attempt to save a passenger jet had me thinking Clark Kent wouldn't have done that.

                Some of the other 'heroes' are a bit dull in comparison but the show does get better as it goes along. Season 2 was due out in the summer, hope they finished it before the big pause button was pressed.

                  Currently on Season 4 having binged my way through this past week or so. Very enjoyable.

                    Really? I thought that it was very funny in places. I especially liked the Billy Butcher character; a sort of psychopathic Dick Van Dyke.

                    Well worth sticking with it IMHO.

                      Ah yes, Karl Urban (a kiwi) trying to play a cockney. I suppose they're sticking to the source material (comic) for the fun factor to up the bonkers level on screen.

                      Not read the comic but hopefully it has some fantastic material to draw from, like The Walking Dead at its best (also based on a comic).
