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.
That's an understatement. I should've known it wouldn't be any good after the total cop-out at the end of season two.

I literally can't think of anything I liked in season three.

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.
It's holding up pretty well actually. Pena is a pretty good lead. I'm about 7 episodes in.
Yeah, I'm glad Pena is still in it. Cool bastard.
I do miss the other bloke a bit though, the moustached white guy, Steve? I guess he's not coming back? The actor has sort of made it in Hollywood I think. I noticed him in Logan.
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.
I loved the season 2 ending anyway, but in fairness I'm not sure Lynch and Frost knew they'd have to wait 25 years to follow it up when they filmed it.That's an understatement. I should've known it wouldn't be any good after the total cop-out at the end of season two.

As for your second sentence, why did you continue watching it? That's what, 14 hours of something you hated?
My wife said I "forced" her to watch the first two seasons (she never liked it) so the least I could do was see it out.
I stopped even trying to make sense of it earlydoors, but the whole Audrey thing really annoys me. What was the point?

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.
This is true. I think my favourite new character in season two, bearing in mind I've only watched a couple, is Pacho. I like how he's super charismatic and also a complete nut job.

Odds on about half of what you remember as season one will really be season two, and the rest of what happens in two will infuriate you. There's some absolute tripe in there.
David Simon's new thing starts this week, and it looks shit hot.
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.
Lucky!
How far in are you?
Also seen a few bus stop adverts for the new IT. Is it on telly or Netflix?

Cinemas. It's a film.
About halfway through season 2.
He reminds me of Macauley Culkin, Home Alone era, with the worst attempt at a moustache in a long time.Yeah, I'm glad Pena is still in it. Cool bastard.

Don't worry. It gets increasingly better as it goes along. Honestly, it's excellent.
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 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.
How does it feel to be legitimately wrong about a subjective thing?
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.
Just finished it.

Cannot recommend highly enough - as a 5 hour binge it's engulfing stuff.
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.
By which do you mean the Lemony Snicket series?
If so, yep - enjoyable enough.
Netflix are also funding/exclusively purchasing some utter gash too, but generally it's better than anything on terrestrial TV.
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.
I'd largely avoided it outside of family gatherings like Christmas where I'm too pissed/full to care for that reason.
That Siberian bird would GET 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.
