New series starts tonight it might be worth a watch C4 at 20:00

Directed by Joss Whedon, too. The sky box was set a week ago… 😀

Yup just back from the Italians with the kids and getting the youngest sorted for bed, then going to give it a go.

Sky+ set to record and appropriately enough my two year old is currently running around naked apart from her towel that she’s using as a super hero cape and making whoosh noises. All in all a pretty good evening.

I forgot all about it as i last seen an ad for it about 3 weeks ago.

Hoping for good things from this, been in need of a decent series to watch

It’s perfectly watchable, but by ‘eck it is cheesy.

Corrie will come back on at 8:30 so it’s been series linked.

Nice one Drac.

Well I say good so far, linked reference to the last iron man film as a start story line, pretty cool

Not bad at all

Brilliant. That’s my new second favourite current TV show.

Gunn! Shepherd Book! What’s not to like.

well that was fun and appreciably up beat compared to breaking bad and dexter- 2 other series ive been watching!

has there been a previous series? feel like i was missing summink

Obviously just a ‘setting up’ episode, but not at all bad. Happy to be in obviously Whedon territory within the first few minutes –

“and what does that tell you?”
“That somebody really wanted our initials to be SHIELD”

“Sorry, that corner’s really dark – I couldn’t resist it”

Jimmy

There was

The latest marvel movies really
Iron Man 1 and 2
Hulk
Thor
Captain America
The Avengers – this series follows on directly

ok. what was the thing she mentioned that he didn’t know about? C-something… must pay attention

Nope centipede? was something new I think

righto, all over it now.

I’ll watch it again next week & hope it improves as that felt a little weak imho

Haven’t watched it yet, is it suitable for a 6 year old? Junior really wants to watch it, loves all that stuff

Hm, I don’t see why not. You could always watch it yourself first, then you get to watch it twice.

Monkey, apart from the crispy body, I’d say it was ok for a young lad

Scant, I’m glad it didn’t come out all guns blazing, early days but it fits in the larger world of the films so should be immersive

SFX review is up.

Cheers, he’s pretty good with movies, enjoyed iron man last week

“disaster? no its an origin story”

typical Whedon referential stuff (not a bad thing). Bright, upbeat lightweight saturday evening type TV but none the worse for it, and enough Whedon influence in the dialogue/writing to keep me interested. Will stick with it and its a refreshing change from Wire/Breaking Bad boxsets I’m currently working through.

liked it, esp. the dark corner- I think a bulb’s out! 😀

This is going to be required Sunday evening viewing from now on, I think. Not watched it yet, but really looking forward to sitting back and watching it tomorrow. I always love little references to other series and films, Castle has done it, with references to Firefly/Serenity, and I’ve seen all the Marvel movies too.

Better than I expected. Didn’t take itself too seriously which was nice.

“Say ‘cheese’”
“That was a porcupine, not a poop” 😆
Thirteen minutes in, and I’m loving it. Good to see Gunn in it, and the Shepherd. Maybe they can find something for Alison Hannigan, now that How I Met Your Mother has ended.
