@Post Ironic @Osman so have any of you watched Childhood's End yet? Pretty good adaptation if you ask me, enjoyed all 3 episodes.

Arthur C Clarke was really a fantastic writer.
I lost my way in ep 02. The "child with superpowers" is such an overdone, derivative Sci-Fi cliché, it part ruined it for me. Even if I liked the dad as the lead physicist in Manhattan.

Sure, you could say Clarke should be excused from guilt by having been at the origin of the cliché. But an adaptation should almost know better than to play into something so overly trite it ruins the storytelling.

But I suppose given the name, you'd have to scrap the whole project.

OK, saw the third and final part of Childhood's End. Don't bother. That show ended like a hot mess.

If they added Ewoks at the end, it would have been an improvement. That says a lot.

Fargo season 2 was great. I finished it yesterday and also read that season 3 won't come in 2016 but we have to wait until 2017. I also think it's good to make us wait a while to miss this genre a bit.

I also finished Peaky Blinders season 1 and @swag, I think you should give it another shot, it gets better. I think I will start with the second season soon.

I am also happy I left Homeland 5 so now I can watch the entire season in a row which will be just in time for Banshee kicking off in January.
Oh man, I fucking love Thomas!

Season one is better than season two though. Season two got Tom Hardy though. :D
I liked the second season too btw, but I agree that the first one was better. Annabelle Wallis is amazing and I have now developed a crush.

I can't wait for the third season but it'll be in another year. :( Steven Knight said it will be the best season by a mile.

A whole year?! It's been a long time since season 2 came out.
