    All of it that I've watched is/was genuinely refreshing and good, even if the faux-yank aesthetic in the 'high school' grates a bit.

    And it's worth it just for Ncuti Gatwa's performance which is phenomenal, he is surely destined for great things, or maybe for Marvel things as apparently that is now the peak of acting.

    I still liked season 3.

    It's definitely a drop in quality though.

    I only caught glimpses of it while the Mrs had it on but I thought the odd little German was a cert.

    Yeah I thought German Jimmy would probably win and was surprised he went last week.

    I know she fucked that Focaccia beyond belief but I still think Crystelle deserved to win the final.

    I started Hawkeye and Wheel of Time yesterday. Hawkeye's fine. About what you'd expect.

    Only done one episode but Wheel of Time is a solid start. Effects are already, I'm sure bits of the internet are losing their mind over the race-swapping when for the most part race is barely a factor in the books anyway, everybody seems reasonably well cast so far.

    One thing though:

    Been rewatching Sherlock and the final episode really is such a crying shame. I know the quality is a bit uneven across the episodes, with probably a general downward trend, but I felt like they'd really found form again with the hospital episode. Genuinely think it's on par with some of the early ones.

    Then they served up that absolute steaming pile of bollocks in the finale. Ooft.

    Funnily enough I saw a thing earlier today talking about Sherlock and saying the hospital / Toby Jones episode is among the worst but I really enjoyed that one.

    There's a very definite point (can't remember how many series/episodes in) when they start consciously making it for the American audience, and it never recovers from that.

    I've still never watched Sherlock. I just don't think I could deal with that much Cumberbatch.

    It’s just on there now and they’ve done little else other than criticise the Italian and he even came last in the middle bit. How did he end up winning?

    GamesMaster episode 2 has a streamer in a cat ears on it. Seems like the influencers really, really want their 5 minutes.

    EDIT: Wasn't expect a game I've reviewed to be on this.

    I gave the new Gamesmaster a bash having never really watched the old series.

    Not for me, I think.

    Watched the first couple of Wheel Of Time after you guys mentioned it. It's been ok so far, settings are nice but so far fairly generic fantasy schtick.

    Also started on Hawkeye which was about what I expected. They seem to be queuing up all these replacements for the main Avengers via these shows but none of them have much personality beyond nicking the senior partner's role and adding some younger sass

    Yep. 1 was a bit meh, 2 was decent and the third stepped it up.

    Bridget Christie is Stewart Lee's wife (and a comedian obvs). Chris Ramsey is a comedian and has some fairly big podcast with his wife, I think. I watched his standup show on Amazon a while back, it was pretty good. I'm not entirely sure what Judi Love actually does but she was funny on This Is My House. No idea on Sophie Duker.

    She was on Osman's House of Games a few months ago.

    Pretty tragic line up all things considered, but the format means the line up doesn't matter.

    Without seeing her in anything, "Stewart Lee's Wife" is not a description that fills me with any confidence she'll be entertaining whatsoever.

    Especially on the back of "David Mitchell's Wife" being one of the worst contestants of all time.

    I tried to watch it but got a bit bored. Also, why does it look like it’s set in the 1980s or something when they handed themselves into the police 10 years ago?

    Nottingham's vibe is 1970s mixed with 1870s. Truly a dynamic, modern city.

    Indeed. I couldn't get my head around why you'd paint such a sympathetic picture of a couple who are tried murderers, let alone do it in that way. If there was a miscarriage of justice angle then maybe, but they weren't even going for that.

    I think the first season of that is probably the strongest but I enjoyed it throughout with the exception of three or four pairs of episodes, as I recall, but it has a perfect finale.
