It's ok - the first episodes were less so, and the non-feral vampires are shouty, leather clad clichés (so far). Six episodes in, I'm still watching, but mostly for the titular main character, the Doc, and the deaf chap.

Oooooh. I want to tell you, but I won't!!!

After a rocky start I'm really enjoying American Horror - watched Murder House and now part way through the Asylyum. I still cringe through the opening credits though.

Been churning through AHS recently myself. Enjoyed Murder House, Asylum was a bit of a chore (IMO), about to start Covern.
The open credits are fantastic... is it music or just a really unnerving soundscape?
 
Watched Episode 12 of Grand Tour the other night and reckon it was the most enjoyable so far.

Most of the previous episodes have been too obviously scripted and a bit lame in places.

The 'launch control' feature in the latest episode had me laughing out loud, for the first time in the series.

This series of Silent Witness had seen a long overdue return to form. Well, until this weeks two-parter, where they've run out of criminals in London (surely not?) and have improbably gone off to Mexico to take on the drug cartels after something happened to a much loved colleague who hadn't been mentioned until the start of last nights episode. Sadly, I think they've just jumped the shark...:headshake:

The last of the current run of Endeavour on Sunday was as excellent as the rest of this far too short series, spoilt only by ITV's insistence on ramming half an hour of adverts into a two hour show - one of the reasons I rarely watch anything 'live' on the third, fourth and fifth channels.

I also really enjoyed Endeavour.

Nice touch to dust off Sheila Hancock and give her a run out in the final episode.

Roger Allam is particularly good as DI Fred Thursday.

There's going to be another series. Thank God.

Charlie Clouser did the theme and score for all the series (I think), he's worked with NIN, Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie amongst others. Seriously talented dude.

I watched The OA on Netflix. It is a little hard to describe. I guess it would be science fiction but it deals with religion, alternate dimensions, supernatural stuff.

*I decided to edit this post, it might have been too much of a spoiler and I didn't want that.
It actually almost has two beginnings and is doing a lot of flashing back the entire time.

This one is different and I feel there will be different opinions about it. I don't even know if there will be a second season. :blink: I just found a few things just a little too hard to get past. And not in the grand scheme of things but just small little details of everyday life they seemed to just not pay any attention to.

I enjoyed it - right up to the end. I felt a bit cheated.

It's worth the 7ish out of 10 it has most places, I think. The bits I had trouble with could all have been in her mind, when I thought about it, so I ended up enjoying the series - I don't think that they can spin that out into the next series though.
