About half-way through Marco Polo's second season and still very good, enjoying it a lot.  Deffo recommend it to fans of the first season .

I enjoyed it a lot.

So that's one to watch then (Marco Polo)?

[Axe99]

Aye, I'd say so - interesting characters, drama and plot .   Fair warning, it's main battle scene in the series so far wasn't particularly well handled either (although I'd rate it better than the GoT average) .

[Aromaci]

I'd say give it a shot.

On GOT I really enjoyed the latest season, probably the best one yet. I think it's really going to open up the series being able to not be as tied to the books. It'll probably frustrate book readers even more but I see them as two different things, planning on reading them when the series wraps up.

Also watching Season 3 of The 100 only watched the first few eps but my padding sensors have been triggered. It started off good but has turned sour on me due to the actions of a few of the characters that have me going really? As it stands now I just cant help the feeling that its going down this path to draw out the season. Hope some of the newer episode when I get around to them stop where they are currently heading.

Spoiler

It was an effort and a half to finish off this season.
Terrible plot with terrible plot holes lol.
The whole "New guy shows up, takes over the camp through fear and fucks it all up" annoyed me.
AI vs AI? Ugh.
And wtf kinda season final was that?
Thank god next season they'll all die lol.

Finished Season 3 of Vikings and the World at War (got it on Blu-Ray, WW2 docco from the 1970s) and thought both were excellent (had seen World at War before, but so many years ago could have been rose-coloured glasses, was glad to find it wasn't.  Recommnend both, and the second to pretty much anyone with an interest in history.  First isn't bad for an interest in history as well.  While most footage in it is B&W (and low res), World at War actually has the more disturbing scenes, so don't recommend either for children!

Believe World at War was on Foxtel recently. Watched a few episodes. Might be another series though. Rather a popular and generic name for docos. Been watching a lot of WWI docos myself lately. Also been wanting to rewatch 'Ken Burn's Civil War'. That was a good one. Also watching a lot of David Attenborough. Love that guy.

I love the doco series Ken Burn's Jazz, been meaning to watch more of his.

If you haven't watched Stranger Things yet - do it. Do not read anything on it just fucking get into it.

A bigger nod to those that grew up in the 80s.

Sounds great Clowny .  You're not the first person I've heard that from either.  It's deffo on my list .

Meant to post but forgot (but remembering now), watched Season 3 of House of Cards and reckon it was really well done.  Season 1 and 2 have things all go just a bit 'right' for Franky to be terribly plausible, but I thought Season 3 hit a great balance and drew me in much better.
