I was annoyed about this. It took a few episodes to settle and find it's focus but I loved it by the end. I was looking forward to seeing what they did in S2. That said, if you stop it before the last scene it's a pretty nice little mini series.

Yeah, the last scene really set it up for a second season.

I only lasted about 20 minutes of episode one, I hated all the characters. Like a tragically poor Freaks and Geeks.

It definitely took a few episodes to settle but it's probably not for everyone even then. As someone else pointed out it's incredibly sweet by the end, but not everyone likes sweet.

Finally got around to watching Weiner last night. It's a fantastic documentary following Anthony Weiner's disastrous 2013 campaign for Mayor of New York as he tries to recover from one sexting scandal before being plunged into another one.

It's a truly captivating watch even if at times it feels a little voyeuristic, especially the scenes in his home where we see his personal relationships crumble.

You want to reach in and grab him and shout 'What the **** is wrong with you!' as he makes every situation ten times worse for himself. It's like his only instinct is for self destruction and it's all he deserves.

From reading up about him, the guy is a complete douchebag that learnt nothing from his experiences and he's currently in jail for sexting a minor. An absolute creep.

His wife was a stunning looking women I felt so bad for her. He was clueless to her feelings.

Part of me feels like she was trying to sacrifice herself for the greater good of the Democratic Party at the beginning but you could tell as it went on she couldn't stand to be anywhere near him at all.

Felt sorry for her on a professional level too. She was a real heavy hitter in the Democratic Party and had built an amazing career.

Half way through episode 1.. it looks the part but unsure yet. Just seems like a generic family drama - albeit in space.

Just finished watching Occupied, 10 episodes.
It's about Russia taking over Norway, starting with the oil fields. Found it quite good, political drama but a bit of action aswell. Characters are developed nicely, subtitles actually make you follow it more. Norwegian accent is crap though. Bit slow to begin with but it's quite watchable.

Really enjoyed it except for the lead actor. At times it felt like watching Dolph Lundgren back in the day. I kept hoping theyd throw him back in to his original sleeve as that fellah seemed like he could act and had a decent presence. Still worth watching but better casting would have taken it up a notch IMO

I liked him but hated the lead female role. She was nearly a parody of a tough Mexican woman at times.

Just watched Annihilation, that movie is so bad.
Not so much a recommendation as a "don't waste your time".

Uh oh, be expecting a few messages from the "if you didn't like it you obviously didn't get it" brigade.

I started to watch it but got so sickened by one scene and had to stop. I don't think I'd be able to go back to it.

What was wrong with the scene? Plan on watching it with the kids and it's supposed to be a family show. No reviews hinted at anything dodgy in the first episode.

I wasn't expecting it to be one of the best music docs I've seen, but it was.

Yes, maybe I am mixing things up, but it is the movie Annihilation with Natalie Portman in it. It was an early scene with stomach

, I think, but I could not see properly past my fingers. And then I ran.

Yeah, I thought you were talking about Lost in Space! I know the scene you're talking about in Annihilation!
