Anyone watched Atypical? I sort of want to watch it, but I feel like it'd probably be a bit saccharine.

Based off the Stephen King book?

Yess. And have not read the book yet. Brendan Gleeson is in it. I like Gleeson

David Tennant and Michael Sheen have been cast as Crowley and Aziraphale in Good Omens, which is basically perfect casting.

[Colly]

I didn't even know that was happening, is it a proper film or one of those Sky adaptations? 

[livid]

It's going to be a series for Amazon.

Holy shit, that really is perfect casting.

Okay, why did nobody remind me that the new DuckTales series has started?

The animation looks crappy.

[apsham]

I don't think it's bad - it's just a different style from what one would be used to.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Hopefully I'll get used to it! 

Also about to start watching Tales From The Crypt!

[Monkey D. Lars]

This is interesting! 

[Benjamin]

Oh my god that's amazing. 

[JasonM]

So for people that watched the new Ducktales? Is it any good? I saw a few previews with the new voice actors, and I went 'meh', and haven't really put in effort to watch any of it. I have extremely fond memories of that series from my childhood, and probably way too many expectations too.

Blood Drive on Sci Fi is fucking awesome. Its just terrible but great. Its like Mad Max meets Grindhouse meets Troma. 

Its just insane. 

I've only seen the first episode but WTF

I thought the same. 

But I couldn't stop watching. It gets better. It just gets crazier.

Its so bizarre. But in a good way. I hope they can maintain its levels of silliness.

Thanks @tristy for recommending Veep, really enjoying it so far and have just completed season 1. Roll on another 5 seasons

They do, and more. Julian Slink, the guy with the top hat, he's become such a ridiculously absurd character in the best way. 

Check this out, its from a few episodes in but doesn't spoil anything. Its more of a silly promo.

I haven't watched it just because I didn't want any spoilers no matter how minor. I'm up to ep 5 and so far it has been really good. Is it just my dodgy stream or do they actually blank out that guys dick in the show? 

[VerbalPuke]

They black out his dick. If you're up to episode 5 you'll see the video I posted soon enough. I think, it's sort of a Sci Fi promotion so I don't know. Are you seeing the weird commercials for the shows world?

[livid]

I have really enjoyed Animal Kingdom. It takes the best parts of Sons of Anarchy and adds a dash of The OC.
