Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returned to Ch4 mid March and I only just found out. Posting this here instead of the FAIL thread incase anyone else also missed it and will have to play catch-up.

I have been considering Amazon Prime. Not worth it then?

No no, don't get me wrong, if I had to sum it up... Prime is the best of the two because it has far better movies in general and loads of great TV, but there's a lot of overlap between the two (BBC shows, Grimm, loads of films for example), and it's interface really sucks compared to Netflix. You probably remember your first impression of Netflix as 'not much recent, good stuff, is there?' - but then it's only £6 a month. And I've been getting Prime essentially free for months, so at some point I'll have to make a decision... And Netflix's own stuff is great and only set to get better. Anyway, try the Prime trial (use a cashback site if there's any deals on, and Mightydeals sometimes gives you 6 mths for a tenner).

Hmm well then I might consider prime if and when I saturate Netflix. Still a lot on there I want to see and I LOVE the interface. Watch it at work, on smart TV, on iPad, laptops and Apple TV and I like that no matter where you stop it remembers it for you. Really very impressed with it.

And the moral of the story is don't insult prison food to the person in charge of the kitchen.
Yep Orange is the new Black is definitely worth watching and I've only seen the first one.

Wagner Moura Set To Play Pablo Escobar in ‘Narco’ Coming to Netflix 2015 http://latino-review.com/2014/04/wagner ... flix-2015/I really want that to be good but that's a ridiculously over-hyped team going by their previous work

I would like to think that the moral of the story is 'don't go to prison in the first place'. Mark
