If you are running out of zombie apocalyps options, watch this

I love an apocalyptic film or tv series, I love a good zombie one best. After the The Walking Dead, not much lives up to expectations, falling far short of what I now expect and want in a zombie apocalypse.
Z-nation doesn't fall short. It even adds a new take, humour. I like the way they have merged the zombie horror, end of the world scenario with humour. It's not a heavy sprikling of jokes either, it's interweaved into the whole story line. That way you can still have the drama of the apocalypse without the humour making it less real, less able for you to be drawn into.
This is for all The Walking Dead fans that are looking to fill the mid season gap and gaps between seasons. You won't be dissapointed.

Sloooowly good.

As a Game of Thrones fan, obviously I had to see this as it's Richard Madden. The series starts off so tense I couldn't look away, then when that particular event ends, it can get quite long winded until the next good bit. Even though the plot is good, it feels it's stretched at times, like the scenes could be taken out and make no difference.
The twists towards the end, I was on the edge of my seat. I was getting so angry, annoyed, frustrated and nearly screaming at the TV. In my opinion only good writing can get me so animated so that's a big tick.
As you can see, I've tried my hardest not to include spoilers, if you're looking for something on Netflix on a chilled evening, give this a go, see how you like it.

Better than Life (Red Dwarf #2)

Book Rating

A straight sequel to 'Red Dwarf: Infinity welcomes careful drivers', this novel starts with the crew of Red Dwarf still trapped inside the hologrammatic computer game Better Than Life, with that taking up (roughly) the first third of the novel.

Unlike its predecessor, which at times seemed to be cramming as many episodes as possible into its length, this novel instead seems to primarily focus on 3 main aspects (episodes) from the TV series on which it is based: Better Than Life, Garbage World and Polymorph. As such, it's also quite a quick read, only taking me something like 1 day to read from start to finish. Ending on a cliff-hanger, this is also the last Red Dwarf book that both Rob Grant and Doug Naylor worked on together, with the next 2 books ('Backwards' and 'Last Human') each written by a separate one of those two authors.
