An MIT grad student and a tech superstar bring a low-level Pentagon official a staggering discovery--that an asteroid is just six months away from colliding with Earth.

Only 1 ep in but has potential.

Yes, it's silly, (very) stupid and annoying.

But hey, it's not boring at least. There will be second season as well, so, won't be left on cliffhanger.

Tried it recently but I find the characters to be intensely annoying, especially Lame Cole.

Quite like Passengers on Netflix, season 2 has just been released, very similar to 12 Monkeys the TV series, might be somewhat off putting if you have already watched that. Glitch, an Aussie spin on The Returned shows some promise as well.

I assume you mean the big sci-fi Romance with Jennifer Lawrence?

Entirely different, rather derivative but compared to some of the other dross Netflix pumps out/streams in that genre-Continuum/Ascension etc it is at least watchable. Not the greatest recommendation but as a Sci Fi fan quality stuff is hard to find. Have great hopes for their adaptation of Altered Carbon though.

I just noticed that "Romper Stomper" has been made into a mini series, I loved the movie so I might give it a try.

"Romper Stomper is an Australian television series sequel to the 1992 film Romper Stomper movie and and set 25 years after the events in the film. The six-part series follows a new generation of far-right activists and their anti-fascist counterparts, with the story focussing on a fictional far-right group led by Blake Farrand known as Patriot Blue."

If anyone wants to know where to find it so you can report it just pm me, I've only found it on one specific site so far.

I couldn't recommend mindhunter enough really good show and the way they building it for what I expect to happen in season 2, is interesting and quite different to most cop based shows out there at the moment.

New show out (two eps) called McMafia

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6271042/?ref_=nv_sr_1

"Alex Godman, the English-raised son of Russian mafia exiles, has spent his life trying to escape the shadow of their past, building his own legitimate business and forging a life with his girlfriend Rebecca. But when a murder forces his family's past to return to threaten them, Alex is drawn into the criminal underworld and must confront his values to protect those he loves."

Might be worth a watch.

Movie is the one where Russel Crowe got his breakthrough. It is a very good movie, but I preferred the series.

Guy playing the lead in the series are going places, guaranteed.

I enjoyed it as well. Would recommend. If you enjoyed Mindhunter, you might like this one, too.
Didnt see mindhunter. Might put that on the list too. Just finished stranger things so looking for something else now. Cheers.

Alright guys, I’ve just finished my rewatch of Mad Men.

I’ve missed out on current television. Is there an absolute classic e.g Mad Men, Sopranos, The Wire currently on air that I am missing? Not just stranger things “that’s a fun show” good, but forever going down as one of the best runs ever good.

Not sure if you've seen these but I'll just name a few shows I consider to be classics. GoT, True Detective S1, The Night Of and Breaking Bad.

Rectify is one of the best TV shows ever and not an "obvious" one that most have seen.
