You really disliked the new season, didn't you Baz? I haven't watched the finale yet but, bar a very boring stretch in the middle, I think it's been quite good.
I've also started the new season of Narcos. It's surviving the loss of Pablo a lot better than I thought it would. The first couple of episodes have actually been very good.
Finished The Defenders today, it's easily the worst of the Netflix series and despite enjoying it at times I found it difficult to get into at times.
Ian is on the money in regards to the soundtrack which is strange, as that was always a huge positive for the various series.
They kind of set it up at the end of series 2 with asking Pena what he knew of the Cali cartel so I'm pretty sure it'll be Pena centric.
Pena is great because he just doesn't give a fuck.
As for the finale, it wasn't at all what I (or anybody for that matter) was expecting, and I wasn't sure how I felt about it at the time (apart from one bit, which I hated), but it's stuck with me and I'm still thinking about it.
I need to watch the whole thing again really, I can barely recall much of season 2.
Started watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I could take it or leave it and find the characters pretty annoying, but my wife loves it so we'll persist. Long way to go though - at least they're short episodes.
Cinemas. It's a film.
I immediately disliked everyone in Always Sunny, then just as I was beginning to settle into it after about six episodes they introduced Danny DeVito as the worst character in the history of the medium and I was out for good.
I think you mean best. He's amazing!
I'm a twit
I know this thread is generally for good TV, but I watched about 20 minutes of the first episode of that Quacks thing on BBC the other day.
It's astonishingly bad.
You ought to know. That's your posting career in sum.
Person of Interest card in 3, 2, 1...
You seem to have got more entertainment value out of my post than I got out of that character. I'm glad.
New Bojack might be my favourite season yet and I'm only half way through. Feels like it's a lot funnier without losing any of it's other qualities.
It's out?!
I didn't realise. Why do Netflix send me emails about adding shows that I might like which I definitely won't yet they don't send me an email about the latest season of a show I've watched all of? Twats.
Only came out yesterday.
I've watched the first 3 or so and I'm loving it.
Also, Master of None season 2 has been excellent. Particularly the deaf episode.
The adaption of the pseudo JK Rowling novel has been quite good. It's a bit obvious and trite but entertaining nonetheless.
It's the private investigator who came from the war one. Isn't Lemony Snicket the Grimms Fairy Tales rip off?
Strike. The books are a lot better (inevitably for murder mysteries as you can put proper amounts of detail in) but the acting saves it a bit, especially the lead.
He is very good and even the assistant isn't awful, her husband seems written to be the worlds largest nobber though. Who would ever say 'She was the only half looker with a brain' about your fiance to her boss. Although she seems to treat him like absolute dog shit as well so maybe they're just two sociopaths in a pod.
I know it sounds petty but it's kind of nice to see people regularly smoking on TV as well, the way it is these days you'd think there's not a smoker left in the UK.
After a severe downturn in life, I've turned on Bake Off. It really is wholesome, feel good television.
It's the sort of shit I usually detest, but I quite enjoy it.
Jeez the penultimate episode of Narcos was tense. Really enjoyed this season, best of the three and I haven't watched the finale yet.
How's Bake Off compared to previous years? I generally dislike Noel Fielding but I couldn't understand the praise Sue and Mel got.
Honestly, it seems the same to me. I haven't really missed any of the former cast. I hated Sue Perkins anyway, and Prue Leith is basically Mary Berry with a different hairstyle.
I'd come to detest post-Mighty Boosh Noel Fielding but I've found him quite enjoyable on this. Some awful, awful shirts though. He was wearing what appeared to be a dark blue frock with nipples all over it on the one I watched yesterday.
Turning up in an outfit that would make even Merse want to punch you is a big part of Noel Fielding's act. I expect he'll have on a shellsuit onesie at some point.
The main thing that stands out is the ad breaks which still feel weird. Noel Fielding's toned down the whimsy a bit and he's surprisingly suited to the voiceovers.
I always watch it an hour later, so I'd actually forgotten about that ad breaks because we skip them.
Anyone seen Loaded that was on Channel 4 a while back?
I remembered seeing the ads at the time and thought it looked like it might be alright. Watched it recently in All4 or whatever they call it these days and was really pleasantly surprised. I thought it was very good.
