The Official TV & TV Series Thread

Its one of those stories I was investigating as a kid, I found it fascinating. The Hot Zone is also based on a true story.

I would like one on Three mile Island as well

Ok, so today I watched the last episode of Chernobyl, I have known the facts and figures for years. But the way they told the story had me in tears. It is a slow build, there is no frantic feeling in it at all. But the pace shows you how it might have happened.
To visit Prypriat is one of my wishlist locations. Just from the images that have been released in the last 5 years it is amazing to see how the lack of humans has let the land heal and reclaim the area.

No dates or any specific release details just yet, but I know there are a few Magic the Gathering fans around who might want to keep an eye on this…

MtG, Avengers directors, Star Wars writers, Netflix… sounds like a solid plan.

Not this show but I remember a show once where some guy that just had his 21st birthday had to work for the devil. If I remember correctly it was cancelled.

I am finding it a little slow to get into. I much prefer the first season over the others. A powered foe is just so much more fun.

I agree, the first season was outstanding. No2 - I honestly can’t even remember it
this final season was decent. It ended great, considering this is the last.

Out of the Marvel shows this was my favourite

As much as I hate series and movies that use shock value to get viewers, I will be watching The Boys from Amazon. I will do so purely because I (as a superhero fan) have always speculated as to what the societal impact real superheros would have on humanity in general. Which is why I have enjoyed series like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powers_(American_TV_series) and books like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Cards .

Powers was one of my favourites, I am still sad that it didnt go further. A very underrated show.

I think I will skip The Boys the trailer was to much for me, I am not good with shows that over the top.

Sometimes I just post the trailers here without even actually watching them first, as I did now with the Stranger Things Season 3 trailer, but I’ve just watched it now and wow it looks good. And it’s starting in a couple of weeks on July 4th!
