@gary-brown I really want to like the Witcher as the books are good and I like Henry Cavil.

Also Henry Cavill for the next Bond! He could totally pull it off.

Matt Wood

@gary-brown I know what you mean recent stuff just somehow doesn't seem so good. Both of those were on my watchlist so I will have my cynics eye open for those.

@gary-brown Yes. Stick with it though, it took 3 or 4 episodes for me to like it.

i give it a go.
I tried watching a few things recently and gave up like the frontier and even white lines i gave up watching that half way through the series.

The witcher i didn't stick with i just watched one programme and gave up.

Not sure if they were worth sticking at and trying again.

@john-folan Absolutely. I am an OLD SCHOOL X-men fan so thought this would be a crap rip off. I was also getting fed up with all the cookie cutter marvel films. But this series is its own thing and really good! Much more adult/dark/real person aspect to it.

Is it true to the comic? Did the comic come first?

I read the other day author is the lead singer from My Chemical Romance

@richard-latimer 100% stick with it, there are plot twists and character twists.

It’s excellent isn’t it? Can’t wait for the next series. Bought the comic as well.

Gotta say Umbrella Academy was great, really didn't think I would like it for first few episodes but the storyline and characters got really interesting. Refreshingly different take on superhero marvel type stuff. 2nd season to start in July I think.

Watched 2nd espisode last night and it seems worth plugging away.

@richard-latimer im the same hence being late to the party with line of duty.

Line of Duty is amazing though. But, what makes it so good in my opinion is how decidely unbritish it is. Shootouts on the street, murder in broad daylight. Spooks was the same.

Also Luther.
