You saw the whole season in 1 night?

Nice!

No!...just episode one. Also watched S04E01 of Gotham. Hopefully this season they will stop dicking around and The Dark Knight will finally put in an appearance.

I got tired of Gotham in S3. It just got too sci-fiction/ horror for me.

Finished season 1 of Mr. Robot last night.

Starting season 2 tonight. Can't wait to see how much weirder it gets.

E03 of The Orville.
I'm surprised how good this show is. It's better than Star Trek ever was. These are space travellers who aspire to be good and noble and decent human beings...it's just that they haven't yet evolved much further than where we are today.. And the juxtaposition of Seth Macfarland's teenage boy humour, and the more serious tone the show adopts on occasion works a treat. May it run for a few more seasons yet.

Trek fans are going to kill me for saying this, but... "Star Trek: Enterprise" was precisely about that. And they hated it because of that, because it wasn't perfect and evolved like The Next Generation.

I started watching American Vandal. On paper it seemed absolutely amazing, like a mashup between Arrested Development and 13 Reasons Why, however the 2 episodes I saw didn't really live up to that. It's pretty slow and I quickly found myself getting bored and not caring at all for the characters. Hopefully it'll improve in the upcoming episodes.

Star Trek Discovery E01. Not half bad at all. Much more adult and intelligent than any of the previous Star Trek series.

The story of the Frenchman Jean-Marie Loret, who, according to his mother, was the "Hitler's son".

When he was a young child, Loret was strongly beaten, badly treated and sometimes starved by his grandfather, because he was considered to be the son of an unidentified German soldier of World War I.

wikipedia Jean-Marie Loret

Here is the documentary (in French). I tried to find it in English, but didn't find it.
There is one in Spanish. "Hitler mi abuelo?"

Adolf Hitler, mon grand pere

Jean-Marie Loret died before to know the truth... Thanks to the DNA test, laboratories proved that he wasn't Hitler's son.
But now Loret's children know that they don't get the same DNA than both Austrian Adolf Hitler's relatives.

I wished I had seen Warehouse 13 when it was shown on Syfy channel ( now being shown on Pick Tv) because it is really good sci-if, with some good characters and a lot of far-fetched, yet almost plausible ideas science-wise, although it did stretch things a bit when science fiction writer H. G. Wells is revealed as a woman! Into season three at present with two sessions left to show.
