'Insecure' Securely Wins Another Season

Phew! What a finale to season one!! Which camp are you on? because I am torn!
 
The good news -  while you are recovering from the finale of season 1, season 2 of Insecure has been commissioned!
 
Having watched the journey from web series to TV show, I have to say I am really pleased for Issa Rae. The show has translated to TV beautifully, and brilliantly gives us an insight into the awkward world of an non stereotyped black woman. The HBO series skilfully rubs down the edges of racial stereotypes without bashing you over the head with RACE! And still manages to tell a great story.

With some hilarious comedy writing, great casting and acting as well as a dope soundtrack, we've literally been spoiled with all the awesomeness in the first series.  No word yet on when season 2 will be out, but given how well season 1 went down, there are high hopes for the new season.

Season 1, Episode 2 Trailer

 Action Alchemy

Calling all Anime fans! Full Metal Alchemist is going live action!

Full Metal Alchemist, essentially the story of two brothers who try to perform a resurrection using alchemy with catastrophic results ( that is a woefully inadequate synopsis, but the series is hella long!) is getting a live action film.

Look around at top anime lists and you'd be hard pressed not find this series! It's not one that I've any experience of, not my thing really, but dam the live action trailer looks good! I am seriously going to have to consider watching the anime now - dam there goes my relationship and my job!!

Punisher Spin-off

The Netflix Marvel series Daredevil has me divided, I didn't really like the main character, the casting was all wrong for me (he grunts so much! what is wrong with him?!!) But I persisted and  then The Kingpin showed up and this is what kept me watching where Elektra's appearance nearly had me switching off.
 
The other thing I loved about Daredevil was The Punisher - what can I say, wanton violence is clearly my thing?! So the news that he is getting his own spin-off was welcome. Not much else to report at this stage, but word is it's due for release in 2017.
