Watched Episode 4 of Colony last night, a really good episode. Also I realised one of the characters is played by the awesome Carl Weathers - I thought he looked familiar but hadn't managed to put a name to him!

but simply sticking with a huge polar bear, which on its' own turf is quite scary enough, with nothing else necessary.
Watching the second series of Jessica Jones, up to the twelfth episode and it is good, but I'm starting to think this might be a show that could do with a little trimming, maybe just have ten episodes per series. It is good to finally get a little more back round information on the experiments that created this altered humans.

Just finished season 2 of Colony. Really enjoyed it. It has a strong concept, good acting, and lots of surprises. Looking forward to season 3.
In the meantime I need to find something new for my "one episode a day" habit…
What do you enjoy ?
For Sci fi try altered carbon and timelessI'm generally looking for stuff I can watch with my wife, so gangster shows and violent crime is sadly generally out (although I did manage to get her to watch the Sopranos once, which went down surprisingly well!). Mad Men, Lost, and the West Wing have been good past successes, but the area where our interests most align is good sci-fi/fantasy. We've recently been through the season 1 of the Last Kingdom (fantastic opening episodes, poor towards the end), the Expanse (enjoyed, good characters and generally a good script), Almost Human (not so much, but a good concept) and Colony. We're generally on Netflix but I'm not against splashing out if something looks decent. Any recommendations welcome!
For Sci fi try altered carbon and timeless
Altered carbon is a bit grim and timeless is more feel good adventure.
I'd say altered carbon is the better of the two.
Both on Netflix
Then there's killjoys if you enjoy some low Sci fi.
It's because of the hot people in the showJust realised that when I said "almost human" in my earlier post I actually meant "altered carbon". I think they call that a senior moment! Watched it fairly recently, I couldn't make my mind up - some episodes were great, some were a bit poor. It kind of tailed off towards the end with too much ninja stuff, but it was still watchable.
Not seen Timeless or killjoys, I'll add them to the list. One of my friends recommend Vikings as well but I didn't get round to trying it. It looks quite good, thanks for the reminder! And yeah most fantasy TV is pretty poor sadly but my wife is obsessed with Game of Thrones - more than me in fact, which I find bizarre given the levels of violence that she'd normally hate…
