I still haven't watched the first season ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/999290/images/EkgfVYPpRwjNkabtDFrM.gif) Edit to add, not for any other reason that we don't have Sky and NowTV doesn't do 4K so would look like absolute ass on our TV. Am sure we'll get around to it at some point though!

I know it is a pain as it's Sky Atlantic but you have 3 months to sort it out!! Other than the edit above, we just don't watch TV enough at the moment for it to be worth getting a Sky subscription. Still doing a lot of DIY etc. to the house and needing to save up for other things so it's just not a priority. What we'd ideally do is get it on BluRay but sadly it's getting harder and harder to get stuff on BluRay these days as physical media is on the way out, particularly for shows/movies.

You can always get NOW, watch it through that. Just subscribe a short time before season 2. Binge Season 1 and cancel Now after 2 months. You can usually get it pretty cheap, first month free.

We did look into that (this is how we watched GoT after all) but as I said, it doesn't do 4K... our TV is a great big OLED and if you don't watch stuff in reasonably high definition it looks awful lol If we get desperate enough we might do that but for high production value shows like this, it's a shame not to be able to make the most of having a nice TV.

It is on Blu ray though.

Will have to rewatch the end of season 1 and see how it ended/remind myself before I choose my allegiance! I have plenty of time though if this isn't back until June ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/999290/images/rRVudIUFfGfSLYyzPsfM.gif)

No chat on this? It escalated quite rapidly in last night's ep! Fabulous, but also sad!

I'm thoroughly enjoying series 2. Better than series 1 in my opinion.
We save it on the set top box for Saturday nights, as the centrepiece of our evening's viewing.

I am completely lost after the last two episodes, that I might have to start from scratch again.

yep best episode yet but I am loving it anyway even the slow ones as everything matters, that's the thing, its not filler. I have to watch it monday evenings as YouTubers I follow have seen it at US time so I like to keep pace with them ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/999290/images/ZtUZYVBuaPNFOeKZeNff.gif)

Sky show it at 3am I think as well as the 9pm slot? And I know they release the final episode at US time, as they did that for The last of us, and True Detective, always a pleasant surprise. I do think some of the earlier eps were a little slow, let's send an assassin, let's send an assassin in response to their assassin, oh just get on with the story already!

Finding the attempts to tie this series into the GoT white walker arc excruciatingly painful and clunky.
The rat catcher episode should have been a lot stronger too. The foreshadowing as early as the midway point of last series... and that's all we got? In the book it was far more savage, in that they forced the queen to pick which child should be killed while both children were awake, only then to kill the other - leaving the 'chosen' child alive and aware their mother loved the other more. They beheaded a child and still it somewhat didn't feel as devastating as it should have. It was more dramatic watching the life drain out of Melys in this week's episode.
