    Peak Peep Show is brilliant stuff. Tapers off for a bit towards the end (and then actually recovers a bit for the last series) but it's really good.

    You'll be wanking over Dobby in no time.

    The Innocence Files is top notch.

    They've changed the "style" of how they film Friday Night Dinner so it looks more shiny and less documentary. It really takes you out of it.

    New episode of Parks & Rec tonight is exciting. Even if it's a bit shit, it will still be nice and familiar seeing everyone again.

    BCS is fucking amazing. Episodes 8 and 9 of the latest 10 episode season are up there with my favourite episodes of anything ever. What a bloody show.

    The Micheal Jordan series is chockers full of 90s nostalgia.

    I enjoyed the first two, though it did seem to struggle with what it wanted to be... An MJ documentaty or a Bulls Documentary... I think it struggled a little bit to be clear as to what it is. Still thoroughly enjoyable.

    Edit: also, how fucking good was Jordan.... So far ahead of the competition at that time.

    Jordan is so much better than Lebron.

    Chicago Bulls was the Jersey of the 90s in Primary School...

    It picked up in the third and fourth with emphasis on Pippen and Rodman, although it's still the MJ show as you'd expect. His eyes worry me

    I'm waiting until they're all out to watch.

    I've never been hugely into basketball but Jordan was incredible.

    I watched one of the first games back after his stint in Baseball (NBA are putting some great games on their Youtube channel) and he was just incredible.

    Anyone seen Unorthodox? Four episodes on Netflix. Really great and subtly done, and the lead actress is phenomenal.

    Finished off Peep Show today. Cracking stuff.

    Also, I was very keen on Dobby when first introduced but soured on her quite quickly.

    I tried to watch Peep Show and I just couldn't, David Mitchell's character was just too fucking awkward and the camera style makes it feel like you're being the awkward one

    I found most of the women to be like that and I imagine it's because of the way both of them seem to fall in love instantly so you're only subjected to their good personality traits but by the end all the shit is coming to the front.

    The theme is that Mark and Jez are both cunts in their own ways so their relationships inevitably deteriorate leaving them stuck together.

    She’s an incredible actress, never seen a performance quite like that before.

    I could never tell if my attraction was shameful lustage or not. She looks like if Scarlett Johansson had stunted growth as a kid.

    I've heard good stuff about this Unorthodox, I'll give it a whirl next.

    Love was a very enjoyable ride. Third season was starting to get a bit stale but all in all, well worth it.

    Mandalorian finished and I loved it. It's probably as good as any other Star Wars thing that's been put on screen.

    I torrented it, but the whole thing is essentially a very well executed charity appeal so I imagine they'll make it available on as many platforms as possible before long.

    I agree on The Mandalorian. I said earlier in the thread that taken as a whole it's the best of all the Star Wars things.

    Season 5 of Bojack done and I was semi spoiled on the big episode 11 event which kinda soured it a bit, but even without that I don't think the season held up as well as some of the others.

    3 > 4 > 2 > 5 > 1 I think.

    I’d swap 4 and 2 around in the rankings on a very marginal call that 2 had more impact as really turning the show around from passable dark comedy to something more impactful and dramatic, but otherwise totally agree.

    This one was definitely more forgettable in places.

    Started Detectorists the other night as my first foray back into TV since the lockdown.

    It's so, so good. Will confirm after viewing the rest of it, but it might be in the top 10 British sitcoms ever, even though it's only partly laugh-out-loud.

    I've been rewatching Community and have come to the conclusion that while season 4 is obviously the pits it'd started to go downhill during season 3 which is when they started to get more obsessed with the episodes where they were doing a send-up of another genre.

    It's fantastic. Wholesome, easy watching and just plain nice.

    After, you should check out Don't forget the driver with Toby Jones. It's nowhere near the same level but enjoyable watching too.

    Toby Jones is a joke in it, just so good. Probably dicing with Roger Allam for my favourite actor.
