Thandie Newton especially creeps me out. I love her character.

Try Westworld. Only 4 episodes so far, but fucking amazing.
What is it? (I'm sorry I'm on my phone right now so it's not easy to look anything up  ) and do you mean you've only watched four episodes or there's only been four episodes shown? Cos I don't remember the last time I watched something in real time as it were... waiting a week for the next episode. I just tend to binge watch box sets etc.

It's a show on HBO about a future world where there is an Old American West style theme park with super realistic robots--to whom you can do anything you like. Sex, murder, crime---all of it is part of the allure of the park. But are the robots too real???
And yes, the first season is underway. But Anthony Hopkins is in it!

Ohhhkaaay hehe. Sounds interesting... a bit like something that would be on Outer Limits back in the day. I don't know if I can get HBO though... that's on sky isn't it... and a pay to view channel? Not streaming?

But for the rest of tonight, from the comfort of my bed, I'm going to get back to the task in hand of creating the ultimate ABBA playlist

Cool.. I haven't seen any of those... and they're all available on demand are they? Which ones would you recommend? and which ones are most like Oz? Some association in the back of my mind is telling me that the wire might be but I'm not sure.
