    That was really good. It’s something I hadn’t given any thought to , but the fact that First Person Shooter didn’t exist as a term when Doom released, it was interesting seeing the progression. I remember as a kid referring to Heretic and Hexen as Doom-clones, but wasn’t really cognizant of the term as it fell out of use in favour of other descriptions.












  • Some ones that jump immediately to mind:

    Reacher Season 2 - Watched the first 3 episodes and not enjoying it as much as the first season. Alan Ritchson is still a great Teacher, just the story this time is a bit of a departure, will still see if through as it’s not bad.

    Justified - Working my way through the 6th season before I watch City Primeval, it’s definitely formulaic but Goggins and Olyphant are excellent. Especially enjoying Crowder as an antagonist.

    Monarch: Legacy of Monsters - Pushing through because of the kaiju, but the series makes the same mistake as some of the modern western Godzilla films and has way too much human drama. Will probably finish it at some point but won’t continue if there’s any future seasons unless the reviews are any good.
