It did. Just caught up with the first episode of season 3. On the strength of that I just downloaded episodes of 2 and 3.

Particularly enjoyable is watching each episode and then reading the Guardian recap....
Very enjoyable series but a bit disappointed at the ending. Nice journey, shame about arrival.

Have started watching the first episode of Westworld...slightly creepy so far, but enough of a sci-fi/AI theme that I am compelled to watch. Anyone see this? It's on Sky Atlantic in Blighty so may be an old series across the pond? Never saw the original 70's film, although was aware of it...

It's current. I think it's on HBO which we don't have.

No, not old here, just shown first episode here too. I enjoyed it and also found it compelling.

So gruesome though, finished to episode 2, but I have to spend half the program shielding my eyes. They really ought to have a technology where us squeamish folk can set it to blur certain scenes. I don't think it needs to be quite so sadistic.

Oh I hate grue, I'm fine with it in reality - at work that is - but it's not really entertainment,

Well, yes, not quite so stylised in the hospital. It's probably more the visual cruelty that I find hard than the actual injury.

I get upset watching America's Funniest Videos I watch the videoed accident, the mechanism of injury , and then know what I'd be seeing on the X rays.

Damned on C4 is not bad for a chuckle if you're bored.

Found Cold Feet full of middle class angst which eventually got me shouting at the TV to &^%%**&% suck it up and stop whining.

Third series of The Fall definitely worth watching. Tons better than series two.
