Yes.
Yes.
I found it to be good until the end (although I can't remember what happens in series 2). As it goes on, you just have to endure any scene/storyline Juliana is in and drink in the rest, which is largely great.
Good to hear. I absolutely love the concept of it and so far it's been brilliant. S2 so far is just them realising that they can travel between worlds and a bit of movement in the upper echelons of the Reich especially with John Smith.
Slowly working my way through Entourage again. Was trying to do it along with the podcast but I watch it faster than I listen to it, so I’m way ahead. Loving it too.
Not gonna lie, I can’t help but get super chuffed when Turtle goes to pick up some trainers and it’s goddamn Rufio!
Also Jeremy Piven really does steal the whole show by a long long way.

The Swede is an absolute bastard, but a loveable bastard. He's a great antagonist. I used to always find myself sort of rooting for him a bit too. It's a cracking show in general. It never got as much attention as it deserved, in my opinion. I am a bit of a sucker for anything Old West related though, to be fair.

I think season three of The Last Ship is much better than season two. The lack of the evil cockney submarine gang is an obvious plus, but I just generally prefer the story. America/the world falling to bits etc, I'm glad they've sort of moved past "the virus" almost and onto the fallout from it all. Obviously it's all a bit daft and over the top in places, but I'm generally enjoying it quite a bit.

Also, if this entire thing doesn't end with "President Tom Chandler" I will not be happy.
S2 of The Man in the High Castle was decent I think, been a while. Finale stuck with me.
Cobra Kai on UK netflix today and it is excellent.
This Mortimer and Whitehouse Gone Fishing is the best TV I recall ever watching, it's absolutely incredible. Get on it before BBC take it down due to animal cruelty.
I thought I wouldn't like it because I'm not the biggest Whitehouse fan but I love it.
How can you not like Paul Whitehouse? That's like not liking, I don't know, orange juice.
I wasn't big on Harry and Paul but I think that style of comedy isn't going to hit me any more. Y'know, make a joke about a stereotype and then hammer it into the ground in the space of a minute. And then write 18 more sketches that are exactly that.
It's the wholesome tele we all need.
The Fast Show still holds up.
Loved that show so much. You get invested in the characters.
What podcast?
How does it compare with the program Coogan and Brydon did where they travel?
One of the greatest things ever to grace television.
Had always thought the fast show and the Harry Enfield ones were all the same. Weren't they?
Very similiar but this is more genuine and endearing as a result.
Kind of the same except the fast show was much better because it had no Harry Enfield characters.
You telling me you're not a fan of Waynetta Slob? Outrageous.
Fast Show's whole thing was they'd cram as many sketches in as they could. It meant they could try anything for the sake of 20 seconds and a punchline.
I remember laughing for about six months at a sketch where one kid encouraged another to run towards him then moved out the way and let her run into a table. Harry and Lulu I think it was. At whatever age I was when it was on that was my Del Boy falling through the bar.
VICTORY! The Podcast.
It's Doug Ellin (writer), Kevin Dillon (Johnny Drama) and Kevin Connolly (E) talking about each episode, and sometimes they have a guest on. Do yourself a favour and skip Gary Busey's episode.
I'm a twit
Alot of Harry Enfields stuff has aged terribly, but there was some gold in there. Harry and Lulu included.
I've got Blacklist going on the second monitor. It's only the first season and half of The Wire has shown up.
Umbrella Academy?
Sounds like a shit Orphan Black.
Never heard of that but this is being suggested like mad on my Netflix.

You’d either absolutely hate it with a passion or love it. No idea which.
I loved it. If you like comic book stuff it's worth a go.
Watched two episodes last night. Feels a bit Tim Burton in places, which I hate, but it's not bad.
First three "all or nothing" is out. Going to be blockbuster with mourinho.
Did they seriously stage a fake TV spot for him to be angry about?
EDIT: They bloody did.The TV's not even on!
Did anyone watch Last Chance U? If so, is it worth it?
I'm definitely watching that.
Haven't been able to get into it since the first college.
All or nothing has got off to an interesting start. Tom Hardy's narration and Kane's expletives are incredibly unnatural.
Watch QB1 instead.
Will check it out.
"Let's fucking win right"
Barnstorming stuff.
Even under the non-job assumption I'm struggling to see what Henry Mountbatten-Windsor and his wife bring to the roadshow. Everyone here thinks they're twats, the Americans don't care... What are Netflix getting for their money?
Madness. LCU is far better, just skip seasons 3 and 4 if you're triggered by idiots being idiots whilst proclaiming to be gods.
A share price bump when the press release goes out saying they’ve signed the Downton Abbey bloke.
Apple spent 7 billion on 'original content' and have you ever heard anyone say the words 'You have to watch it, it's on ApplePlus'
A 1% market cap increase for Apple is worth 10 billion, so it's free money.
Two different shows tbf.
LCU if you want to see folk with character concerns try and turn themselves around (first few series are decent).
QB1 if you’ve any actual interest in college American football as it’s far more relevant.
That they are differently focused isn’t in doubt.
LCU is just far more engaging and entertaining for me. Hence, even though I’m big into the subject matter of QB1 to the extent where I couldn’t wait to see Spencer Rattlers episodes, I’ll take LCU over it any day.
Later series if LCU were crap so maybe that’s tainting my mind.
I far preferred watching the stories of these highly regarding QB prospects and it’s satisfying watching college football on Saturdays () and seeing the kids you watched in the show playing.
However, maybe the point is, watch both.
I'll watch both. Although getting the early season of LCU is proving strangely difficult.Later series if LCU were crap so maybe that’s tainting my mind.

Yeh the 3rd and 4th weren’t great. The grandstanding coach who was an utterly irredeemable twat and snake oil salesman, along with some of the less likeable players in its history made leave me cold In retrospect. That school was very, very aware of being on the box and making stars of themselves on Netflix in a way that the EMC guys weren’t. Also, EMC were better and more genuinely in the last chance saloon. They’ve a few guys in the NFL now, one going 3rd round, another 7th and another likely to make the final cut as a UFA. None of the Indy guys are getting near that.Later series if LCU were crap so maybe that’s tainting my mind.

The last season is the best for me, but more as a social commentary.
Also, Gardner Minchew balling for Northwest in season 2 (maybe 1) is one of the best retrospective highlights of the series.
The Boys season 2 out today. I've started watching it all through again as there's only 8 episodes in the first season.
Billy Butcher
Ooft, I forgot that was today. That's my Friday viewing sorted.
Just watched Butcher's Spice Girls speech to get me in the mood.
