Oh fuck, Y: The Last Man has a show runner. This is actually finally happening.

Woo! One of my favourite comics! I'm glad it's being made into a tv series instead of a film too, as there's way too much material to cram into 120 minutes.

I saw the pilot for Sweet/Vicious and it's really cool. Reminds me of Veronica Mars but with vigilantes and a dose of Breaking Bad and don't you know it stars Bryan Cranston's daughter.

Yeah, I watched the first episode of that last week and thought it was solid for what it was. I'll hopefully watch episode two this weekend.

[Benji]

The Exorcist has been my surprise sleeper hit of this year. Episode five pushed it over the edge to really good TV, a lot of good actors, some good script, some decent effects, and just generally keeping with that sense of vileness/dread that the film had as it goes on.

Heads up, voting for EWB's Favorite Show 2016 starts next Thursday! Get those lists ready, catch up on shows that are hovering around that #15 spot!

Who Do You Think You Are with Danny "Everyone's favourite chav" Dyer is brilliant. LOCAL BOY DOES GOOD!

Ron Glass, the man who played Sgt. Harris on Barney Miller - and probably most notably, recently, Shepherd Derrial Book on Firefly & Serenity - has passed away.

Finally started watching Shameless now that it's on Netflix. It's such great fun. William H Macy is incredible, as is Joan Cusack

You are cruel. How do you expect me to finish the Crown, Westworld AND Preacher in a week?  

[GoGo Yubari]

You'll have a good 2 - 2.5 weeks to edit those in, don't worry

Right now Westworld and Search Party are the primary two shows I want to finish to get a fair feeling on if they're going to crack my list. I do have the last four episodes of Preacher on my DVR but I don't think it'd make anything other than my ten honorable mentions.

[Benjamin]

Oh fuck, Search Party. Shit.

[Benji]

Atlanta has been great, but episodes 7 and 8 were the best so far. Episode 8 with...

Spoiler

... the invisible car during the parking lot scene

Just found out MC Lars dropped an album this year and it has an ode to Mad Men which is pretty awesome:

Fucking love this show.

Netflix just added offline playback Not sure if it's all its shows, but it's finally here.

[Moses Julep]

I have a conference that just got smoother tomorrow

I heard it's Netflix original content.

An article I read said that 30 Rock was included, so not entirely original content.

Either way, I can't really make use of it if it's just for phones and tablets. Maybe someday if I get a phone with a bigger screen.

Chromecast maybe.

Man, this week's Modern Family was so good. Felt like an episode from the first three seasons. Really liked it.
