Halfway through second series of Mr Inbetween, it's sooo good. Best thing I've watched in absolutely ages. Unless the quality drops off a cliff, I'm going to be very sad it got cancelled.

Is it only on Disney+? That's a shame, and I haven't torrented since like 2012, so I'm completely out of the loop there.
It does feel a bit last decade but the amount of stuff being uploaded these days is immense. Can pm links if needed.
Yep. Have you got a Firestick? Get Cinema.Quote:

Trigger Point is a bit meh so far.
The Responder on BBC 1 at 9 tonight looks promising. Scouse Martin Freeman though :D
The end of The Expanse was a bit odd, the last series ended rather abruptly after just six or seven episodes.
Series 3 was still great. 3rd last episode of it was boring but aside from that every episode on all the series was top tierQuote:

The final season of Line of Duty was probably the worst and the ending was a massive anti-climax. Seasons 1 and 3 were the best by a mile.

The party episode was so good, and equally hilarious/depressing.Quote:

I hate it, especially Facebook.
I have, it's shit and has a really annoying dramatised fictional family in it.

Is there a better alternative to it?
I have a facebook account which I don't use and an instagram account which literally only follows kitchen knife makers. I have no other social media.
Watching Stay Close, the plot of which is just doing enough to keep me interested. Better be a fucking good finale.
I really enjoyed the first episode of that and how it was setting up at the end of it, and then the second episode had the dreaded ‘injury detail’ warning up top. Watched that Munich Agreement film instead then.Quote:

I can understand getting hooked on the dopamine hit of getting a few dozen likes or whatever but surely you'd give up after years of zero engagement with your crap bantz?
Don't know mate. You're still here.

Also caught up on Succession. Flown through it.
Well… :exhausted:
Nah but I'm well good though. Also that reply is genuinely more engagement than they're getting most days. One girl posts like 5 or 6 lolrandom posts to her 200 or so followers and gets maybe one like at best. I've started to find it a bit grimly fascinating.Quote:

All episodes of The Responder on iPlayer and it's grim as fuck :drool:
The thing that annoyed me about it (beyond the family) was that there shouldn't have been anything in it that people weren't aware of, particularly if you're a parent and your kids are living on it.Quote:

I watched it a month or so back. Really enjoyed it, thought it was much better than the critics gave it credit for. Paul Rudd is superb.
Apple tv has appeared as a plug in on Sky now and I must say there are a few things drawing me in, including that one.
Apple TV fucked up my watching of that because I had to seek to pick up where I left off in an episode every time.
That’s crap, but the episodes are like 40 minutes long. You hardly need to invest a lot of time into watching an individual episode.Quote:

It also has no search facility which is ridiculous. It was alright when it launched with about 6 shows but now... fucking sort it out.
Amateur hour.
Scouse Martin Freeman is surprisingly good.
Boba Fett :cool:
They haven't managed an actual really good episode have they??
I was thinking this when I saw some story about how people were eschewing modern smartphones for classic 3310 brick jobbies the other day. Seemed a load of attention seeking bollocks to me, just use your phone less. It's still quite handy to have access to it from time to time. Now, I was a late adopter the other way, and if someone could get me a functioning one of those motorola spinny phones [google tells me V70, guess I couldn't look that up on one of those though] I'd maybe consider becoming 'one of those people' but I dunno. £70+ on ebay. :harold:Quote:

Was idly considering which character is most relatable and why because really I'd probably want to be most like Roman (dgaf, best watch), although people probably see me as more of a Greg (awkward knob), but I'm pretty much exactly Ken (dead-inside aimless alcoholic) really. :happycry:
Tom's the actual best though. I said it to my mum after watching a couple of episodes (she'd already seen them all bar the last two) and she called him insipid but I'd say the complete opposite. He's just pure entertainment.
I'm seven episodes into season one. Greg is what's keeping me watching.
I threw the towel in after the wedding episode. Completely unnecessary.
Tom is great. A massive twat but also one of the few with a grip on reality, at least latterly. So well acted.
