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.

Is Gangs of London worth watching or is it just pointless gore?
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.

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.
Also that Jordan documentary has been causing pain to all of Utah since they released it.
Finished off Peep Show today. Cracking stuff.
Also, I was very keen on Dobby when first introduced but soured on her quite quickly.
Aye, she's lovely at first and an insufferable twat by the end.
Boxing it off in a week is a top effort.
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
The theme is that Mark and Jez are both cunts in their own ways so their relationships inevitably deteriorate leaving them stuck together.
You haven't mentioned Johnson so you're going to have to watch it again.
The only female character worth a shit is Soph. Christ it was a rapid rise for Olivia Colman.
She looks like McAuley Culkin before the drugs and hipster renaissance.
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.
The lockdown special of Parks and Recreation was lovely.
Definitely got out of it's lull for the last episode.
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.
Started on the latest season of The Last Kingdom. Uhtred back to being a badass motherfucker again
Monorail is on now
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.
Toby Jones is a joke in it, just so good. Probably dicing with Roger Allam for my favourite actor.
