Yep, one of the all time great newbie casts

Bit of everything. TV networks don't make the money they used to. They need a certain amount of local content and reality TV is far cheaper to produce than anything else.

The real question is why in this age of reality TV has there only been one season of The Mole in the past 17 years

Maybe b/c it's TV's version of Werewolf. Fun at first, then makes you start feeling dirty.

You're thinking of Weredocker

Because everything after the first three seasons was a poor imitation of a wonderful format?

Yeah but MKR and the Block have been poor imitations of average formats for years and that hasn't stopped them.

Scripted content is better on streaming services.
‘Reality’ content is too heavily scripted for people with brain cells to enjoy.
True reality content is best on live streams or YouTube.
Wrestling rises above all and is available on the Fite TV app, that’s F-I-T-E.

Do wrestling fans universally hate Sam Roberts ?

Half decent reality shows aren't scripted, it's all in the editing.

I have no idea who that is but having seen that he’s a WWE journo he’s probably a treacherous snake.

Sandman on Netflix is actually pretty good so far. The previews make it look crap so I wasn't expecting much but it was entertaining.
First episode wasn't great but it's picked up. Casting of the Endless is good so far (three down four to go) but I think Lucienne is a miscasting. It's not a good performance and probably should be an older actor.

I've never actually read any of the comics or anything so I'm coming at it with fresh eyes, probably missing a fair bit but I've enjoyed it so far
New Predator movie (Prey) is on Disney+
Pretty good I thought

It was probably the best Predator movie since #2. Some parts were best not thought about too much though.
The way she killed the Predator confused me. If the dart only goes where the helmet is aiming why did the Predator fire it when he wasn’t wearing it?

Yeah that was one of don't think too much I was referring to: from what I understood its gun and helmet were synchronised to shoot at the same time, so when it manually shot from the sidearm at her it also shot from the helmet separately. I think that was attempted to be explained when he brother first knocked the helmet of it back at the trapper camp.
