      Really enjoying it so far.
      I see what you mean. Just as well there are sub titles.

        Second last episode of the season released last week and finally Foundation S2 delivers.

        Annoyed with the amount of set up/ filler but if they bring it home with a good S2 finale I'll probably be OK with it.

          I've been watching Rogue Heroes.

          It is unbelievably awesome.
          What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

            The netflix One Piece adaptation is pretty good.

            I've been watching my first Gundam, The Witch from Mercury. It's independent from any other Gundam so it's easy to jump in without having to know about any other series and it's really good. Takes a little while to ramp up but I'm at a point now where I feel like I 'get' Gundam.

              I've started watching Crossing Lines and have enjoyed what I've seen so far given some very creative and different story lines.

                I watched the first episode and I didn't mind it, but it didn't rock my world.

                When you finish that try Kin which is also on SBS. I really enjoyed that one. Based in Ireland focusing on a family who are in the drug trade.

                  Kin is excellent and can't wait for season 2. Not sure why SBS hasn't started it.

                      Anyone following re runs of Endeavour on Ch 7 might have noticed that after the Pilot and ep 1 of Series 1 , Ch 7 jumped forward to Series 2 episodes 8 & 9. Tonight, it's episode 10 from Series 3, Ride. It has obviously borrowed a lot from the F Scott Fitzgerald American classic The Great Gatsby, similar plot and worth the watch for that alone. I'm reminded of an episode in Wagon Train all those years ago which did the same with the plot of the Charles Dickens classic Great Expectations.

                      Alerted by GVGjr I binge watched Blue Light over the weekend and the first episode of The Fall, on SBS On Demand. Police shows set in Northern Ireland, a bit out of the ordinary with the violence of the Troubles lurking. Terrific viewing.

                          Only watched seasons 1-3, but I enjoyed those.

                              I'm 5-episodes in and just watched them 'break in' to the Italian camp with Winston Churchill's son along for the ride...whilst the French paratroopers who had joined them built 30-foot high towers to practice jumping out of...they still have no planes and no parachutes despite the 'special air service' moniker.

                              I sort of get what you're saying re- episode 1 but for me it's the best show in years - genuine 'adventure' vs another police/crime based drama.
                              What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

                                I'm at the same point, just the final episode to go. Agreed that it is enjoyable and quite different to most current shows.

                                Interestingly Churchill's son really did go on a mission with the SAS, although it didn't play out the way it did in the show.
