So. That Inside No. 9 live special, huh?

I'm still not sure how much of it was planned.  My gut is that all of it was, but the twist just wasn't good enough to support it.

Just finished Homecoming. Really enjoyed it, casting was brilliant, some really great scenes. Be interesting to see where they take it in season 2.

Netflix dropped Iron Fist and Luke Cage due to dwindling numbers. Maybe they should fix their UI and stop burying shows down 8 menus.

 

Also, the fact that they're producing more and more content should have been added to that conversation. How many of you have stacks of stuff lined up in your lists?

 

I know I have at least 3 series to watch currently, and that's just off the top of my head. That's at least 30 hours worth of content.

I feel like they will definitely join the two up, makes sense to merge the shows and there’s plenty of source material for it. 

Along with Sky and Prime I always end up back logged, there’s really not much I don’t watch although films have taken a backseat in recent years. People still view me as a massive film buff but I rarely bother with them these days, tv just has so much scope and the writing is more sophisticated than ever.

My immediate thought was it would lead to Power Man & Iron Fist series.

Still find it strange that the cancellations were announced around exactly the same time as Daredevil S3 release. Can’t believe Netflix have spoke the massive ratings drop they’ve suffered with the Marvel shows, something they usually keep to themselves. Looks like DD, JJ and Punisher are safe for now though.

Don't think it came from them actually. Analytics from other sources so it's actually more of a guess.

My understanding was Luke Cage was canned as the show runner and the execs were arguing over the direction of the show.

The Breaking Bad universe is rumoured to be getting a feature film.

Confirmed now, and is seemingly gonna be about what happened to Jesse post-BB.

Usually I'd think this was an awful idea/cash in, much like I think is the case with The Walking Dead's recent revelation, but Better Call Saul is enough proof for me to know they wouldn't do this unless they had it all figured out, so it's pretty exciting news, and I can only imagine how traumatic seeing Jesse's arc continue is gonna be.

My thoughts exactly.

So the star of s2 is Kathleen Zellner, Steven's new lawyer. Not sure how much you've kept up with the case since s1 but she is fascinating to watch and see what she's been tweeting about these past few years actually in action. She basically pisses all over the evidence that was used to convict Steven. She recreates and reenacts to try and make things they way the state said it was.

I ended up watching it. I enjoyed it more than I expected. However like many Netflix offerings felt 10 episodes cut be cut to 6.

Really? I could have watched more of her deconstrhcting the state's evidence. Apparently some bits were left out. She's been tweeting about it.

Yeah that was how I felt. The first 5 or 6 were spun out but it picked up in the last few I thought. Interesting case.

Just caught up with better call Saul. Thought it was excellent. Agree it’s unlikely they’ll ruin things with a film.

[PDAD]

Yep, I have complete faith in Gilligan and co with anything else they do in the Albuquerque universe.

Better Call Saul has ended up being completely different to what I expected, yet has blown all expectations to the point of I think actually surpassing Breaking Bad.

With Walt's story, the question was always how 'bad' he'd get. With Jimmy / Saul, we know where he ends up. The tragedy is what makes him get to that point? 

Whatever they do with the film, I think it's fair to say it's going to be pretty epic.

Currently watching ATypical on Netflix, fun coming of age comedy drama,  its very witty and well written. Also watching Informer on BBC Iplayer.

[Superunknown]

Currently watching Ozark, 3 episodes in and I'm hooked. Love Jason Bateman's character, thought he was a bit weedy at first but when he's backed into a corner his go to defence mechanism seems to verbally raise the stakes, which makes for interesting tv. Also, Decks Dark by Radiohead was played at the end of the first episode so positives all round.

Atypical is great, easy watch and improves over two seasons. Can’t fault a single player in it.

What is season 3 like? Have said it before but all the marvel shows on Netflix would have been better cut to 8 episode series and lose some of the filler. It can't be looking good for Jessica!

Not seen it yet as I'm doing a chronological run back through the MCU. I'm at Daredevil 1 at the moment. Surely it's Netflix being pissy about Disney starting their own streaming service?

Just finished it and absolutely adored it, definitely the best Daredevil season and possibly the best of all the Netflix Marvel series (maybe tied with JJ season 1). I assume there must already be work in place for the next season of Jessica and the Punisher, probably their last ones though.

I'd guess it's more the other way around, Disney probably want to be the only place to watch anything Marvel.

Yeah I guess. There's rumours of a bunch of series for b list members from the movies for this new Disney streaming service already.

JJ season one is my favourite so far, but I preferred Daredevil second season to JJ.
