Re: Streaming video - my experience
I'm a bit disappointed with series 2 of Mr Robot. It''s too out there and disjointed. I'm sure there's a major plot line but it's up to E10 and I still can't figure out what it is

Very good series called 'Cosmos' on Netflix narrated by Neil deGrasse Tyson. 13 episodes and very well made.

Wayward Pines season 1 was a solid show. S2 is quite bad for the first few episodes but then picks up so don't give up on it too easily.

On your recommendations I have switched from Unblock to Unlocator. Couldn't get Netflix to work with Unblock and they weren't responding to questions. They are normally good.Got a weeks free trial with Unlocator and at a discount price.Managed to get Netflix,Hulu and showtime working.Haven't managed Iplayer.Only way I can watch it is via Chrome cast.

It was okay - even if the plot had more holes than a block of Swiss cheese
Currently downloading S02 - will let you know how I get on

My wife and I are currently enjoying The Get Down on Netflix
It's different - I guess that's because Baz Luhrmann is involved
Check it out

Just started S2 myself last night - Up to E3, and it's pretty good so far - though going in a different direction to the original. I like how they have woven some of the original characters back in, but not in a mainstream way.
She's lovely isn't she?

She was in 'The increasing poor decisions of Todd Margaret'. Kind of a funny show but only because David Cross is in it. Today's Bill Hicks. Speaking of which, Netflix has two Bill Hicks' stand ups. I watched them when I was in my early twenties but can really appreciate just how insightful he was watching them now.

Is Under the Dome really crap? Was thinking of giving it a try but after reading some comments here it looks like I might actually skip it...
Wayward Pines season 1 was a solid show. S2 is quite bad for the first few episodes but then picks up so don't give up on it too easily.

Just finished Wayward Pines S2 - I really enjoyed it - I think that I actually enjoyed it more than season 1 - it started to give away a lot more detail about the world, and I thought the episode where CJ kept being woken up was really really good. Probably my favourite of the season.
I really hope it gets renewed for a third season.
