    Watched the UK version of 'Criminal', which I really enjoyed. Tense and twisty yet a really simple formula. Love the lack of an outside world beyond the interview room.

    Hearing the verdict was the last time I genuinely gasped out loud.

    Also the revelation that his first wife died the same way made me kinda go "fuuuuuck".

    Great TV.

    Love on the Spectrum on Netflix is a combination of funny and heartwarming.

    I can definitely relate to this bloke.

    That show got me laughing harder than any comedy special ever produced. At some point i felt bad that I was just laughing at disabled people for an hour each time I watched an episode, but then i got over it. It helps that it is pretty heartwarming too

    Is this basically the Aussie Version of The Undateables? Of it is you should give that a watch @Queenslander.

    I thought the first episode of the new series was great but the lack of a studio audience was a lot more apparent with last week, plus the end task was rubbish. No properly shit contestants this time out by the looks of it though so still promising.

    There being an audience should have made me twig it was an old one. It was one with Jon Richardson and Joe thingy off Countdown. Even Katherine Ryan wasn't her usual repulsive self.

    People actually find that Undateables [style] stuff funny/entertaining? I thought it was just Mumsnet and Facebook fodder.

    New episode of Mandalorian is pretty decent. Bit surprised it didn't do a bit more main story arc for the first episode of a new season but I still enjoyed it well enough.

    Episode 1 of Love on the Spectrum done. It's clearly quality entertainment (Michael ) but fuck me it's a difficult watch I'm not sure I can endure. I didn't put in 3 decades worth of graft to fool myself into thinking I'm a normie only to let it all go to shit for this. Fuck COVID, autism is the real invisible enemy.

    @Baz

    I'm into season six of the X-Files now. The film was ace, I loved it. Season six has been great so far too. It was a bit weird going from the blockbuster big-budget-ness of the film back to the television show format though, and the story just continuing on. It's also is a bit annoying that:

    I've slowed down a bit because I'm now watching something made by the same guy called Millennium along side it, which is not really a spin-off but aired at the same time in the nineties and apparently one the episodes in season seven of the X-Files is a crossover with it. It's also really good.

    Think I may have finally got back into enjoying TV again. Signed up for a NOWTV free pass and have been watching The Undoing, a Kidman/Grant vehicle, which from the two episodes so far is pretty intriguing.

    I wanted a take your mind off things silly sitcom the other day, and 'Toast of London' properly hits the spot (the first series about 6/7 years old). Also has a weirdly good theme tune for the sort of show it is.

    The one where he's doing the submarine voiceover for the Royal Navy (if you've got that far yet, I think it's one of the very first ones) is absolutely superb.

    That was the last one I watched. It's just amazing in the way it makes you lol out loud from nowhere about 10 times an episode.

    Caught up on Taskmaster earlier, with episodes 2 and 3. Johnny Vegas is killing it.

    Alex Horne’s been very amusing too, actually. His “previous level shit?” one-liner was completely brushed over but it slayed me.

    I know what you mean, it's quite off-beat but genuinely very laugh out loud funny humour.
