The Detectives on the Beeb is fucking wild. Get it watched.
I was thinking down that route as well.
Just seen that they've announced that the upcoming season of Letterkenny will be its last :(
Shoresy S2 doesn't hold a candle to the first one either, shame.
Really enjoyed the second series of Wheel of Time, I think it was an improvement on the first in most ways and I'm not even grumpy about any of the changes really.
Just finished a rewatch of Sopranos and barring some questionable production in the early seasons, it remains an incredible piece of work.
Watched the entirety of Wheel of Time in a weekend. Fantastic fantasy slop.
I think it might only be Mahow other than me who's read any of the Wheel of Time books, to those who've seen it and hadn't read any did you feel it managed to avoid not either doing tedious loredumps or failing to explain the right things? My feeling was that it balances that stuff quite well but that's me trying to judge it when I know more of the background shit so I'm curious about that.
Seemed pretty straightforwards to me (for fantasy gubbins) and I've not read the books. If you've seen LOTR/GoT then it's treading worn tracks in that regard
I thought they were both good. I'm not sure what the narrative is on quality of the seasons is so not sure how to react to the question.
On the subject of lore dumps I mean it's pretty easy to understand. There's goodies and baddies and goodies pretending to be baddies and some of them feel bad about being baddies so help the goodies.
Blue Eye Samurai was fantastic.
Is Dopesick good?
Highly recommend.
Well worth watching The Pharmacist on a similar note.
Ehh sacked off plans to watch that and I’ve restarted Peep Show.
New Invincible has been good. Shame there's a big gap, I'm assuming due to the strikes?
Reacher series 2 coming in a few days and it's already been commissioned for a 3rd :cool:
Reacher was great, I didn't know season two was on the horizon. I'm well in for more of that. That lad was perfectly cast as him.
I finished the first (and so far only) season of Interview with the Vampire last night and thought it was mostly really good. I like how they have updated and adapted the story a little bit without losing what made the source material work.
World War II From The Frontlines is new on Netflix today and it's nothing groundbreaking, but the digitalisation of the old war footage is really good. It looks like it was filmed in the 90's.
It's nuts how good the old stuff can be upscaled. I used to get high and just watch the old Pathe News stuff of old Cup finals.
Convince me to watch You, plz
It can give you a lot of useful tools to use when interacting with your colleague.
It's good the first few series but really pushes the suspension of disbelief of an already fanciful concept too far by the end.
Squid Game Reality TV show was gokd and they are casting a new series.
One episode of You down and it does not seem good. Can’t be arsed with this man’s opinionated arsehole American personality. And it seems very far fetched, like Lofty said.
He's a dick but the show knows it, once it gets going it does have a nice Prison Break style 'how is he going to get out of this one' rhythm going for a while.
A true master of disguise in his baseball cap.
I've not seen it, but until now the only people I've heard talking about it have been women aged 25 - 40.
That is how I was exposed to it.
Aka Baz’s side bit.
I shall not be watching it. Back to Peep Show. I think it was especially jarring that I watched two episodes of Peep Show (with Gog and Darrel) before it, which has a similar internal-monologue style, but one is laugh out loud British commentary and one is an American wanker.
Also I do not have a side bit. :dc:
But you want one.
Nah
I know its pathetic to be annoyed by it but this sort of stuff in American TV always pisses me off.

What am I looking for here?
Charlton and West Ham fan...
Reacher is back :cool:
Truly incredible that they handed the film role to Cruise.
I’ve started The Detectorists
Enjoy, it's brilliant.
It does seem it.
I was worried it would have “Back” vibes which I enjoyed purely for the fact it’s Mitchell and Webb, but this actually seems laugh out loud funny quite regularly.
Something is very off, but I won’t comment until I’m a few more episodes in.
Toby Jones is great in it.
