Let me clarify that I was not sure about the first two but I'm glad I kept watching, as now I thought the later episodes were better when their background was explained as to why they were as they were, and the sooner the second series starts the better, as I really like it bit of a cliffhanger ending so I would like to know how it pans out.

Isn't the only romcom with zombies Shaun of the Dead? In fact, wasn't it specifically marketed as such? A romcomzom?
Anyway, I've managed to get a hold of the second series of Overlord, and the first few episodes did surprisingly well, considering these episodes adapted one of the weaker books in the series.

I'm aware Patrick Troughton is in Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger, I just prefer The Golden Voyage of Sinbad. Though to be honest, the latter film does have one major plot hole: how did Margiana, the slave woman, have that eye tattoo or whatever it was that was so significant to the Lemuria natives end up in Marabia?
Actually, in The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse, the Homunculus creatures were actually deliberately done in a stop-motion animation way. In fact, I think the writers actually put in the script that the first Homunculus comes to life in a 'Dynamation way'.

Just watched another episode from the latest series of Doctor Who, and I have to confess, I'm still bored with the series. Which is a crying shame, as Jodie Whittaker is a brilliant Doctor, so she's not the problem. I think it's been the production teams. Steven Moffat should have left the series sooner, and I'm not wholly convinced Chris Chibnall is right for the series. Personally, if I had to pick a showrunner, I'd have picked Mark Gatiss...
I've just finished watching more of the second series of Overlord...and I'm really enjoying this adaptation of what I think is two of the best books in the series. In fact, they did something really freaky for the ninth episode, when they revealed a little of just how unstable one of the characters is.
You see, one of the characters, Princess Renner, seems like a fairly typical princess from a fairytale, her intelligence and her using an adventurer group to wage war against a criminal cartel notwithstanding. And then, at the end of the episode, after talking about the day's events with her bodyguard (and love interest) Climb (yes, that is his name), she speaks of them to a maid she knows makes fun of Climb, as he was an orphan she found on the streets. And as the strains of the ending credits music play over the scene, while Renner is speaking to the maid rather vapidly...we hear her thoughts: that she wants to murder the maid, as well as anyone else who mocks Climb. We then cut to a flash of an image seen briefly during the normal version of the credits: Renner standing near Climb, with a bloodied blade in her hand and a disturbing look on her face.
If Albedo is the biggest yandere in Overlord, then Renner is her strongest competition...

After watching and enjoying, Marvel's Luke Cage, I have now started watching their DareDevil series. I have both season one and two and I am working my way through season one at the moment.

I found the first series of the reboot of Batttlestar Galactica in a charity shop recently, but didn't have a clue what was happening as it was pivotal to have seen the pilot episode. So I ordered the pilot and watched it and I am now two discs in to the series. I'm liking it a lot more than the old series and I'm very glad they managed to keep the Viper fighter craft from the original (as well as the new version).
