A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Speaking of UK content: the Going Postal miniseries was very satisfying.

Theo, I loved it and have watched it twice through. Picked up all sorts of detail the second time around.
My only quibble has been trying to figure out when and why Moist's outfit went all shiny . Was that symbolic of something?
But, in general, my favorite TV adaptation of Pratchett's work so far.
I'm hoping that the multiple mentions of Thud! means that will be the direction of the next production.
Also, nice to see the great man himself there at the end. Bless his heart .
Also, also, I loved the woman who played Angua and would love to see more of her.

and would love to see more of her.
That could be taken multiple ways. Because you are a Buffista, they probably all apply.

Goes without saying.

Goes without saying.
Except when I'm around, it gets said anyway. Which, come to think of it, is also very Buffista.

and would love to see more of her.
This was how I felt about the woman who played Susan in Hogfather. Unfortunately, I thought the production was generally uneven and didn't quite work for me. That's one of my favorite books, too.

The realization of the way the Clacks would look and act was beautiful, and how Our Heroes started hacking it was "shown not told" very well.
Loved the guy they had playing Vetinari, too. If they do more adaptations, I hope they get him again, he's as perfectly cast as Christopher Lee doing the voice of Death.

Is this miniseries UK only, or did it air in the US?
