I recently finished off People Just Do Nothing. Started it aaaaages ago cos my mate banged on about it, then Mike mentioned recently he binged it, so I picked it back up. It’s really great. Chabuddy G is possibly one of the funniest characters in anything ever, his timing is just brilliant. Apparently he’s in this Sandman you’re all on about, weirdly!
The film is garbage though, sadly. Might give Sneakerhead (got Beats in) a go, or Peacock (got Grindah and Steves in, and written by Steves).
And soz Foe but The Office wasn’t doing it for me so I’ve sacked it off.

Sherwood seemed to get positive reviews but it was such a mess that it invariably ended as a steaming heap of shit.
Finished The Sandman, it starts a little slow has a good middle (4, 5 and 6 were really solid episodes) and then it just limps slowly to a finish.
Overall I liked it but it falls short of being great.
The more clips I've seen/stuff I've read about season 4 of Stranger Things only reinforces it should have been a 1 season affair.
Just finished the third and final season of Locke & Key and I was a little disappointed.
Easily the weakest of the three, it felt rushed and never really got into it's stride.
Ending a brilliant TV series often seems to be the most challenging aspect, but I think Better Call Saul got it spot on. The whole thing seems to have been a fairly slow boil to a really packed ending, but I've never really minded that. There's something about the aesthetic of Albuquerque I've really enjoyed in Breaking Bad and BCS which I think I'll really miss. Will have to re-watch both in a couple of years I think.
Yeah it was a decent end. Brilliant series all the way through.
She-Hulk on the other hand looks She-ite
I just watched the final season of Brooklyn Nine Nine.
The difference in quality from the first 5 seasons to the final 3 really is huge. Still enjoyable, but not nearly as fun to watch.
The thief, his wife and the canoe is good.
Aren't you in the Maldives? I'll look forward to Kiko's review of Miranda live from Schonbrunn Palace.
I watched it on the plane.
I live about half an hour from Seaton Carew and the accents are all wrong, to the point I couldn't deal with it. They've clearly seen Seaton is technically in County Durham and thought that'll do. The Hartlepool/Seaton accent is closer to a Middlesbrough accent than a Durham one.
Dunno what you reckon, @Dave.?
I've seen those complaints since, but I have no clue how the accent is meant to sound so fortunately didn't care.
There are only three accents in the north: Dibnah, Boycott and Waddell.
And Liverpool unfortunately.
I can sort of tell them apart but it's all just a much of a muchness.
He does. There is no difference between a Geordie and a Mackem.
That simply doesn't happen, to be honest. Geordie is the Tyne-Tees accent of record. At worst, a yank will call me Scottish.
I used to think so but now I’ve lived amongst it, it’s pretty different.
It’s like me saying Essex and London is the same.
Essex is just a tamer East London accent. That said, there are the likes of Bam and his builder mates that pre pretty much indistinguishable from Danny Dyer.
I could tell apart at least 4 different south London accents, 5 if you include the wagwan shite. Roy Hodgson is so distinctly Croydon it's hard to explain. In America though I can only hear three accents: Sopranos, Ned Flanders, and everyone else.
Just to confuse things, I find the Seaton and Hartlepool accents to be slightly different. Seaton is definitely closer to a Middlesbrough accent whilst Hartlepool is mainly Middlesbrough but can vary a little bit. I haven't seen this particular programme but can appreciate it would have been a tricky one to get right. With accents, a person's upbringing and social background also has to be taken into account.
S2 of Atlanta is wild.

Or Cinema app on a firestick if you want it illegitimately.

Is the new GoT thing any good?
I thought the first episode was decent, yeah. I haven't seen the second one yet. But it at least felt like an attempt at a return to the sort of writing that you got in GoT before it fell apart at the end. The cast is good too.
I couldn't get into it.
I was thinking I would let it get a few series in to see if people still rate it before I bother. I'm not committing to another decade blind if it turns out shit.
Despite how shit GoT was at the end, I think overall the journey was worth it.
I'm not convinced I can be arsed with Way of the Dragon or whatever this one's called, but we'll see.
I don't know. I finished it pretty pissed off with how they decided to chuck it all away and those wasted series on that meaningless land/training the youngest stark.
Finally got round to watching The Staircase.

Occam's razor in action.
Anyone watch the man who fell to earth? It’s starting to bore me a bit 4 episodes in and wondering if it’s worth persevering with.
I'm surprised by how much I'm into these two Rings of Power episodes. The dwarves in the second one are a highlight.
It's not nearly as interesting as the original trilogy, but night and day compared to The Hobbit.
What’s the episode schedule?
Black Bird was great.
