I really enjoyed Under the Dome. It is nothing like to book though.

I must read a book at some point. I might start with that one.

Is anyone watching The Keepers? I thought it would only be an hour long documentary but it's seven episodes and absolutely harrowing.

Has anyone watched much of Glow yet? I'm two episodes in and was cringing so hard I had to turn it off. Does it get better?

I'm really enjoying Glow. I'm 5 eps in, but enjoyed it from the start.

Loved the first episode, didn't make me cringe at all! Slightly bored for the second one but will keep watching!

I need to try it again, it autoplayed after the end of OITNB and I don't think I was really concentrating.

I'm about 7 in and loving it.

I'm really enjoying how Ruth is quite hard to root for. She's very interestingly written. And I really like Debbie too; her insecurities and how it's coming over in the ring.

Glow was cringey though, that's the point! I thought that the fictionalised version was watchable enough, but would definitely suggest watching the documentary on it as well - there was very little drama between the wrestlers in reality (or so they say) and it's really interesting to see them 20 odd years after the fact.

Yeah, Ruth reminds me of Piper so far in that she's hard to really like and quite realistically flawed.

Has anyone watched Riverdale? OMG, I'm sucked in big time, as is S. It's a bit Friday Night Lights, OC, Dawson's Creek, Mean Girls and it has freaky ginger twins, an unsolved murder, an amazing diner which is the only place anyone ever eats and Luke Perry as the dad of the main male lead and Molly Ringwald has just turned up as his mum!

On a completely different note, has anyone watched To the Bone?

I watched To The Bone yesterday, I fell asleep for the last half hour though so I don't think I can correctly report on it as yet.

How have I missed this? It sounds exactly like the kind of thing I'd love. :))

Zirk and I have just finished The OA miles after everyone else. I loved it, it was brilliant, The ending did annoy me a little as I want ANSWERS dammit. And I am super invested in Prairie / Homer.

It's Prime, but we just got to the end of the second series of Revolution, and I've been left furious.

How very dare they leave a tv show hanging like that. :mad:

It is annoying, although apparently it's coming back as a comic book with an ending, and there's even a petition you can sign somewhere!

I started this yesterday, I'm only two episodes in but I'm liking it so far.
