Channel 10 have announced 4 shows trialed in pilot week are commissioned for full runs in 2019: Taboo, Kinne Tonight, Trial by Kyle (groan) and Saturday night live with rove
Had to rewind the end of the latest episode to make sure what I thought happened, actually happened.

Just watched a few from the second season and it is excellent.
Series is good but really recommend reading the novels- 8 so far with 9th out next year. Historically accurate events woven into fictional time travel story.

Finally watched s1 of the man in the high castle. If there is a show with more buildings with magical, unguarded, back doors which facilitate the escape of the protagonists I haven’t seen it.
That said, I quite enjoyed it.

Reckon I’ll only watch one, the Saturday night live. We don’t have a good variety show anymore
Yeah, I watched the 1st 7 eps, . and will have to get back to it.
Not bad, … but you have to suspend disbelief a lot, … and another where there’s a lot of deciphering to do, which as I said earlier, can be all too hard when you’re tired and just looking to unwind in the Eve.
One better suited for a dedicated wide awake bingefest I’d say.
Yep, and read it’s 6 episodes only, but there will be spinoff series set 100’s of years pre GOT.

Aren’t they doing 2 seasons of 6 episodes?
Don’t know.
‘The season will contain just six episodes, although they will reportedly be super-sized — some as long as feature films.’
This is a current piece, however the piece I read the other day did not say ‘reportedly be super-sized — some as long as feature films.’
I did and really enjoyed it
No. Benioff and Weiss said at the end of Season 6 there were 13 episodes left in the series - the 7 episodes in Season 7 and these final 6 episodes.

De Dag aka The Day.
A cut above the usual show SBS buys exclusively for its on-demand section. This one is a Belgian hostage thriller (spoken in Dutch) with a reasonably unique way of telling its story. Some robbers announce they’ve locked themselves into a bank and taken numerous hostages - odd numbered episodes tell the story from the viewpoint of the police (chiefly its negotiation team), reporters and families outside the bank; even numbered episodes relate the experiences of the hostages and criminals.
Overall the show is very well done, with the writing in particular, the stand-out, with some excellent twists. The only real criticism I could make of it is that, episodes end on a twist or incident - if you pick the twist or what has happened, it can feel like a bit of a cheat for the writers, particularly in later episodes as effectively its 20mins of actual story into a 40-45min show - the last episode, unfortunately, is particularly guilty of this.
The show just finished its burn-off FTA run, but it is still available via SBS on Demand until 2020.
Thanks - clearly forgot the previous season was the first half of the what was to be the last season.
Why would a Belgian show be spoken in Dutch. Sure it’s not Flemish?
Why would the Clog Wogs get their way?
They are doing a movie of Breaking Bad.
