I like the first series of a Place to Call Home, it was pretty soapy/cheesy but pleasant. Great female leads.

And like the rest of Australia, I now detest it after watching just one episode of the 2nd series - they went overboard on melodrama or whatever.
It literally repulsed me.
My sister is still hanging in there, I just asked her last week - are they still torturing the gay guy, and still dwelling on it over and over again???
Yes.
Done for me, never again, and who gives a shit who your father is, and who murdered who:)It's so obvious anyway
None of the female leads need to be tied to this shit any longer, some awesome females I have now become acquainted with - not Noni, she is shit in this.
 
Lol I've recently found the series 'dinosaurs' and reliving my childhood watching some episodes. It's so lame now. Haha.

I haven't watched Vikings. Historical really doesn't do it for me. I didn't even really like Underbelly. Sitcoms, some drama and Sci-Fi (but not overly nerdy, more like Heroes, Walking Dead, True Blood, Vampire Diaries, AHS, Smallville type sci-fi over like Star Trek or whatever) are more my type of shows.

LOL
Calling Vikings historical drama..........well lets just say it doesn't belong with anything historical I have ever seen.

Vikings is totally your kind of thing - more in common with True Blood and Walking Dead than anything else, it's also watched by Game of Thrones fans.
It is freaky, wild, violent and action packed - it also has fantastic actors & production quality.
And I have to buy it as I got completely out of sync with episodes. Hoping SBS just repeats it all.
Viking women are fantastic:)

Oh wow, I just caught Brazil's Next Top Model.

Harsh.
They surely don't tip toe around girls like the Brit one on the other channel.
Your eliminated - piss off, and who gives a fuck.
Tough allright- but seems much more real than the other fakeouts.
 
Woohoo look what is coming, and very soon!

Next month SBS 2 will unleash vampires, Texas rangers and pythons when it premieres From Dusk Till Dawn, the small screen version of the cult horror film by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino.

The 10 part series, developed by Rodriguez, follows bank robbers Seth Gecko (D.J. Cotrona) and his violent, erratic brother, Richie Gecko (Zane Holtz).

On the run to Mexico, and wanted by Texas Rangers Earl McGraw (Don Johnson) and Freddie Gonzalez (Jesse Garcia), the Gecko Brothers take former Pastor Jacob Fuller (Robert Patrick) and his children hostage. Using the Fuller family RV to cross the border, chaos ensues when the group ends up at a strip club populated by vampires. With the law, the undead and some of Mexico’s most hardened criminals on their trail, the group must fight until dawn to get out alive.

Described as having “a healthy mix of sharp witty dialogue, bloody bursts of violence, vampires, and supernatural horror” the series deepens the tone and expands the storyline of the original film, adds new characters and backstories and explores the Mesoamerican mythology behind the creatures inside the club.

8:30pm Tuesday July 1st on SBS 2.

Have you seen the movie?
Fantastic - it totally flips in the middle and freaks you out. And has Buscemi & Tarrantino in tiny bits
Selma, ooo, Selma has to be seen to be believed.

I saw it years ago and remember liking it. I'll have to watch it again, I think!
 
Finally some concrete proof that Netflix is looking to opening in Australia.

Village Roadshow confirms Netflix is coming to Australia

Rumours of a local launch of the streaming company are rife, with speculation about a pending Netflix launch rising every few months only to be told by the company that it has no plans for the Australian market at this stage. The most recent rumour pegged an official launch in Australia for next year.

Speaking to ZDNet, Graham Burke, the co-CEO of Village Roadshow, which produces and distributes films in Australia, said Netflix was on its way.

"[On] Netflix, they're talking to our people about supply of products, so they are opening and coming to Australia," he said.

Burke did not put a timeline on its arrival, and although rival services such as Quickflix, Presto, and Ezyflix have moved in to fill the gap in the market by Netflix's absence, the move into Australia would likely bring an end to one line of argument used by people for online copyright infringement about the lack of the availability of a service like Netflix in Australia.

I would probably pay for Netflix if it's got the content. The only thing that would prevent me is internet speed now the NBN is history.

Well there are ways of already getting it now in Australia.

Let's just say I have seen it being used on an ADSL1 connection (8Mbps) and it works pretty well actually. I have also seen it working on an ADSL2 connection (around 12-15Mbps) and it works fine and mostly in HD.

Yeah but I'm lazy and can't be bothered. I have cable so that sounds like good news for me!

Even if netflix launches in Australia the American version will probably still have more content on it. It will probably still be better to get the US version.
 
Yep 13... Happy binging!

I've binged. WHAT?!! What/Who are those things at the end? Bad news for sure. I want to now more about the traveller too.

I'll miss evil Alec. :( And damn Kellog he's such a cockroach he always survives and comes out on top!

Whatshisbeardface is HOT but I'm not sure whether I like the pairing. I never thought Kiera would give up on her family (such as her equally hot hubby).

I loved Libre8 and Kiera teaming up. Hopefully next season we will be getting more of this kind of stuff.

For now I'm going to call those things at the end Space Marines.... They looked like the master chief from halo.

RIP Piron Alec.... God he was awful...

Well we know that the traveler is the original freelancer that traveled back to like 1100 A.D and set up the freelancers.

Did you watch Dusk to Dawn?

And see this freakin hotness???

D.J._Cotrona_2013.jpg


Mr DJ Catrona, yum, yum, yum - he acts well too. He is Seth Gecko, part was Clooney's in the movie.
I like him better than Clooney, and the guy doing the crazy brother is awesome.

This Mr hotty - just the way he twists his mighty fine head and pokes that fabulous jaw at ya :)

If you missed this - catch up quickly.
 
I dunno, I feel like Continuum tried a little too hard this season. Too much going on too quickly. And Keira hooking up with Beardsley (or whatever he's called) while poor ol' Carlos is left to clean his own revolver.

And they made me really like Betty before they killed her.

F**kers.
