It came out a while ago, last year I think. You can see it on ITVX. It's very good.
I had a feeling that it had been on TV before, so they’re obviously showing it this week as a repeat but not mentioning it!!

Yes I reviewed it last year and I seem to recall giving it a 9/10

Definitely to be watched! Image

Silo - very good. Ark - awful.

Ark is a decent, though hardly original, sci-fi concept (colonisation spaceship develops problems en route, bla bla), but it's clearly aimed at teens, appears to have no one over 25 on board, and there doesn't seem to have been any kind of psychological pre-assessment of either crew or colonists, who are constantly squabbling and throwing tantrums. Hugely irritating, watch this at your own risk.

Right, I suffered about 15 minutes of the teeny tripe before deleting it.

Silo is much better though more of a detective drama than a sci-fi.

Black Mirror season 6 could be worth a look, I remember previous ones being quite good.

The first episode was brilliant IMO. All praise to Charlie Brooker :bow:

Maybe I'll jump in and try season 6 then. I watched S1 Ep1, the one with the pig-shagging PM, all the way through, mainly because I couldn't quite believe what I was seeing, and never bothered after that.

Yes, I was a bit non-plussed with that first one but I'm glad I stuck with the show. Some hits and misses but overall very entertaining and great commentary about how fiction may/will become reality. :cheers:

C'mon DM forget all those dystopian/Marvel/space shows :duck: :thumb: :laugh:

Non-plussed, absolutely, I thought that first episode was a docu/drama about your amorous adventures with the Sus Suidae genus. :neener: :naughty: :laugh: :cheers:

/\ I'm obviously wasting my time recommending Waco: The Aftermath following on from the excellent 2018 series Waco.
