New zombie show next week with Timothy Olyphant and Drew Barrymore called Santa Clarita Diet

Sheila and Joel, a married couple, are real estate agents in Santa Clarita, California. When Sheila dies, their lives take a dark turn.

My friend plays the daughter of Drew Barrymore on the show.

Mr Mercedes, anyone?

I'm not sure if I'm more disturbed by the actions of a mass murderer or the relationship he has with his mother.

Season 1 finished, I thought it was pretty good. Looks like there will be a season 2, and I will watch it no doubt. The soundtrack to each episode was outstanding .

Has Steve Little in it so I might give it a go.

Best I could tell no critic was allowed to watch this before it aired which isn't a good sign.

Apparently Stranger Things 2 drops Friday.

Cannot miss this fact on Netflix home page atm.

Yep! Cant wait.

Also just started watching Slasher on Netflix. First episode was alright. Pretty gruesome in parts but also pretty predictable with people doing stupid s**t.

Like watching the first episode and for reasons yet to be explained, this girl moves back to the town that she was born or grew up in I believe. But moves back into the house where her parents were murdered. I mean who does that?

Why live in the house where that happened and have that reminder every single day. Then later in the episode the main character hears screaming from her next door neighbour and goes to check it out.

She knocks on the door and through the door she sees this hulking figure stomp slowly towards the door. It's pretty obvious that isnt the old lady who lives there. The big hulking figure, unlocks the door and walks away. So after a minute, the girl/main character decides that that must be the old lady and shes acting weird and ill just walk into the house to investigate on my own.

I know horror/slasher films and tv shows always have this trope but I really wish one show would bring a bit of intelligence to their characters.

I just watched it and thought it was decent. Apparently Kit Harrington is a direct descendant of the character he plays in the show.

Alias Grace on Netflix.

Not anywhere near a Hanmaids Tale.

6 hours of inconclusive garbage.

3/10

Quite liked it. Not in the top tier of netflix shows but definitely good.

While I said it was convenient ( I wont elaborate here) i should have said it was actually more than decent to watch, hence my binging.

Completely agree with you, and that first episode.....

 

[JoondalupJ]

I am shattered that it has finished.
Prob in my top 10 shows of all time.

My son showed me Peep show, and brother are you right , doesn't it build and build , just excellent!

 

[Sterge]

LOTR TV series?

Better be some Tom Bombadill in that s**t after Peter Jackson ****ed him in the movies

$327 million upfront just for the rights....

It says it would be preceding Fellowship so I don't know if we would get Bombadil. I suppose with most of it being made up in the writers room, they could come up with a story line for him. The biggest problem though is we hardly know anything about him.

I actually wouldn't mind a T.V series about the earlier days of Middle Earth. They would at least have the Silmarillion as source material.

Has anybody watched The Wall? It has had only 6 episodes? Is it finished for the year or has it been cancelled?

 

[Jatz]

This looks interesting. Any word on whether it's coming to Aus TV?
