If ABC are thinking of dropping S.H.I.EL.D. then there's a snow balls chance in hell of Agent Carter coming back. Heck that's as likely as the Americans voting in Trump as president....... Hang on a mo..... Good grief.

OK it's more likely the yanks would vote in Trump as president than AC returning.
Did you just say heck? Who do you think you are Marge Gunderson?

If I could be arsed to know who Marge Gunderson was I might be. I use things like heck or good grief when I get concerned that some might get offended by the words hell, bloody of God damnit.

So if that makes you feel you are able to mock me then f**k it.

'Lighten up', I reckon that's the bastion of the bully when they've been caught out.

But f**k, what the hell, bloody well lighten up mate.

I've watched the first two episodes, enjoyable, light and a bit silly. Reminds me a bit of Scandal which didn't settle till it's 3rd season. It seems odd to pull it so quick. I like Hayley Atwell, I actually would have preferred her to use her own accent as her American drawl has dropped occasionally in these 2 episodes. It could be easily explainable ( spent a decade plus in uk boarding school and Uni possibly)
I'll enjoy it whilst it lasts !

Eddie Cahill doesn't make enough appearances in it.

Still not laughing, not funny, not funny. At. All.
There's no context for your post so I may have misinterpreted you post, but you do know it's not supposed to be a sitcom; right? Just checking

I have seen the 2 episodes on Sky Living and I enjoyed them enough to continue watching the rest of the season (the only season?) It does not take a lot of brain power to follow and it looks great and I like HA. Surprised that Eddie has not been seen much (only 2 eps in so more scenes in the future?) Lovely to see Daniel (too gay to function Damien from the wonderous Mean Girls).

I watched all episodes of "Forever" after I found that was cancelled and really liked that show, just hope there is no cliff hanger.

This should have been right up my street. I listen to loads of podcasts about miscarriages of justice and wrongful convictions etc.

Unfortunately, it's just a bit meh. The investigation part is interesting, especially the second ep which seems to have been heavily based on the real case of The Central Park Five, although with a different outcome. I think I would like it more if there wasn';t the boring stuff about her being a rich girl from a big political family, who misbehaves and doesn't get on with her mother.

I'll prob watch the remaining episodes as long as it doesn't get really silly.

Was trying to think where I'd seen one of the actors before recently, but he didn't "look" quite right. Then I realised why. It's Shawn Ashmore and it's his brother, Aaron, I've seen in some stuff. (Killjoys most recently; and Warehouse 13 before that.)

Aaron - Warehouse 13 and Killjoys
Shawn - The Following and Conviction

Took me a while to suss out what I'd seen each twin in before

And the winner for who can say the word bigot in one episode of a show goes to......

The mother of Hayes is definitely based on Hillary Clinton - the writers aren't even trying to disguise it.

I watched this for Hayley but she is actually my least fave in this. Her character and Eddie Cahills are boring and very predictable They are trying far too hard to make her be edgy.

I like the other 4 who solve the cases especially the blonde girl and the guy who has in prison. The actual legal cases are ok but all the stuff around Hayes and her family is dull. Not surprised it has been cancelled.

OK I'm still not laughing, well actually I am, cos the cancelled Castle and replaced it with, well with whatever Conviction is, so I'm still not laughing cos that's cruel.

Yes I do know Castle was dead in the water as soon as s8 started, but just because it's gone and its replacements sucks, big time, doesn't mean I shouldn't gloat.

The main thing i'm finding is that it can be a bit too predictable, last week I'd pretty much figured out the daughter killed her brother ten minutes into the episode.

Yeah. Me too. And same with tonight's. (Though I didn't figure they'd done it together. I just assumed the son.)

I wonder if they'll do one where they do a twist at the end and find out right at the end something that makes the original conviction stand?

I started watching this weekend and gave up halfway through episode 2.

Then erased the other couple of episodes I had recorded..

I thought it was dreadful.

Which is a shame because I really like Hayley Attwell.

I've stuck with it, I'm into it now. Like the characters! The set up is interesting. The graphics are dizzying but, I'll survive! Pity it's not carrying on anywhere!
