Pluto is really good which I never thought I'd say about an Astro Boy story

I'll check it out, providing you can guarantee the nostalgia generated by the hazy memories I have of Astro Boy from my childhood won't be compromised.

Reservation Dogs s3 was great. It was good to see them focus more broadly on the community as the kids story was largely told.

Fargo's final two episodes were good, but, I feel they put too much into the penultimate leaving the finale a bit flat or less action packed than I may have liked. Overall a great return to form.

Reacher was just strange. I think the character resonates with the small town/ county setting better than the government, big business and capital city setting. There was something really cheap about it.

Saw the first ep of the new True Detective. Liked it a lot.

Will start TD in the next few days.

uhhhhhhhhhh... yeah, sure... it'll be fine...

I've never watched Astro Boy but looking into it post Pluto there seems to be more variety in it's story telling than I realised and lots of different stories throughout the decades with different takes.

Atom himself seems to be very faithful to his original concept but there are actually 2 different protagonists in this story, the main one being a European detective robot named Gesicht.

Loved it.

I thought one of the best Australian dramas I have ever seen. Acting was superb. How good was the kid.

I'm sure it's been mentioned before but half way through Fargo.
Its a trope nowadays however I'm loving some of the performances.
Juno Temple and Jennifer Jason-Leigh are great.
The latter better than great, I'd say some awards heading her way.
I think they just write characters then think, how can we make them the most extreme version!

I love Australian drama about working class, we do it so well. An issue can be acting depth at disposal but totally agree with what you said. The cast absolutely nailed. The kid was sensational and really set the tone early.

The characters evoked emotion really quickly. Oh man I hated the detective ha!

Re: What are you watching at the moment

Same, enjoyed it. Jodie Foster is good. Had some Fargo vibes.

Yep def some Fargo vibes but was/will be a lot darker I think (not literally but yeah, that too).

I looked yup the cast and the actor who played Lyle is a former Calvin Kline model - look him up and you will be surprised.

I thought Juno Temple was brilliant in Fargo. Got the accent down pat as well

Ragnar is an Echuca boy(grew up on a farm in Lockington), see him around the town a lot in summer. Failed footballer who got spotted working out. Right place, right time.
