    Mr Robot is dull, I binned it after about 4 episodes, I agree on Narcos as well it was way to slow and boring.

    Watched it too, mainly to keep the Mrs happy. Thought it was ok for a light drama, only 4 more to go!

    Go into box sets and the whole lot is there, you don't have to record each week.

    Thanks <ok>

    I only noticed it last night on Atlantic, episode 1 was on, so I started recording it as it looked good, hadn't heard of it before though.

    Probably start it tonight.

    I've started watching 11.22.63. Anyone seen it yet? Bit of a weird storyline, only watched couple episodes so far. Seems pretty good though I think.

    I'm on the fence with that one waiting to see if the ratings improve.

    You started watching? I'm about 3 episodes in, it's alright. Little bit slow maybe, intrigued what they do towards the end of the series though with the plot.

    didn't realise it was yanks, saw recently the announcer dude, the black guy went viral cos of his epic intros for each bot

    the general standard of bot is better on there than the uk one, one bot in particular fully tore the **** out of the one it was fighting, think it was the first bout shown ... and i like it how they make it like wrestling a bit the commentators

    @SuckMyKlopp

    Battlebots is also international so robos from all around the world

    The robos are way more professional, powerful and better designed than the bbc ones, quite a lot are just ****ing brutal and mess **** up ... even the ****ter ones at least have interesting builds and designs

    Competitors are way more serious and into it

    The robos are seeded and ranked etc not just random like we haven't got a ****ing clue how good this thing is on bbc

    The presentation is much more epic and badass with the build and audience and everything

    The arena is more interesting and dangerous

    The female presenters are all fit and the bloke ones are funny at least

    Robos to watch out for are Bronco, Tombstone, Icewave, Biteforce,

    Ladies and Gentlemen ... Iiiiiiiiit's robot fighting time !! Awesomes !!

    Gonna finish the previous series. C5 are way behind with showing it so the current/most recent tournament is now done, have to see if it's around anywhere rather than waiting

    On the Night Of. Yeah..the girl lawyer thing went a bit off the rails...what she did in the courtroom was enough to show the young and inexperienced side of her character and potential consequence..the rest was overkill.

    Also my pet hate when one minute they apply real court rules such as leading etc then next scene ignore it completely..I know it's just to move the story along but if you make a show about the court process get it right the whole way through.

    Acting was great across the board though...the pace was good too..except as Red said about the finance guy...kind of expected it when I saw that a well known actor was playing what seemed to be such a bit part but then disappeared for long. Felt kind of forced at the end with him.

    Will be interesting how future series pan out since its literally the BBC series Criminal Justice. Who will be in the next one etc...cast change under same title didn't really work for True Detective...

    Now watching The 100. Never watched it originally. It Seems undecided about whether to be another teen angst thing or true gritty dystopia...

    It's a shame since they seemed willing to put some pretty dark concepts and scenes into it...then it's back to dawsons Creek.

    TV shows you should watch if you havent seen them Luv.....(I cannot remember off the top of my head what you have seen :p)


    Shameless US
    Stranger Things
    Daredevil
    Jessica Jones
    Vikings

    All of those are shows on at the moment that rule.
    Game of Thrones is the best of course, but it goes without saying that you are watching that right?
