And the couple that got caught not realising their public transport tap cards can be traced/tracked in real time was one of the funniest/dumbest things i've seen
Cooked within like 6 hrs, and nabbed without even breaking into a run because they were caught so off guard. Morons. :lol:
Oh man that team deserved to be caught. Imagine being on the run, thinking it would be ok to stop for a Parma and beer day one on the show.

What about the finale though with old mate swimming to extraction?
I want to know what the hunters were thinking? No one thought to dive in after him? Were they just shocked into inaction?

Very fun finish though. Glad they got some money, think they played a great game and deserved to win

Sad to hear the passing of actor Lex Maranos.

He played Ted Bullpits son in law Bruno on Kingswood Country amoung 100s of other roles.

I am binging Season 2 of House of the Dragon. What is everyone's take? I'm finding it a bit difficult to stay engaged to be honest.

I thought it was absolutely fantastic myself
but im the ultimate mark for that show, big fan of the book series and the world overall

I think the show struggles a bit from not being as good as peak GOT's but few things are and this on its own is really good, imo anyways

I might be a soft touch on some of this stuff to because ive really enjoyed a lot of properties that havent been well recieved
Stuff like Acolyte and more recently Penguin and Agatha All Along are both very enjoyable shows for what they are

They're not the Wire, they're trying to make some grand statement or anything, they're just good fun shows that im enjoying watching.

My wife and i just finished season 3 of Heartstopper which is a more serious show that has something to say and it's a bit teenage drama but it's also very good and enjoyable.

I watched Ozymandias last night, the third last episode of Breaking Bad. It's probably been 10 years since I watched it, boy oh boy, I didn't appreciate it at the time, but that has to be one of the best episodes of any TV series ever.

About half way through watching this. It’s fantastic. Couldn’t help but think about what cultural changes are needed at the Raiders for the long term. Also thinking that a three episode series covering 1987, 1988 and 1989 at the Raiders would be a sensational sports doco, in similar vein.

Finished… and that was just great. Anyone who likes sports movies, US sports, sports lovers generally would love it. I wish we had documentaries that good about rugby league.
