    The show gets even better when Adam Scott and Rob Lowe have their characters introduced.

    Yeah thats around where I am now. I do struggle with Rob Lowes character, like Mahow. I like Ben.

    Anyway, it's really good. But Brooklyn Nine Nine is better.

    Probably not going to be as much fun as the average episode of Nine Nine, that one.

    First two episodes have been alright. Does feel better, although I wish I hadn't watched the original season 4.

    I loved Season 4. I'm quite surprised it seems to be an unpopular opinion - the longer episodes and the way the narrative intertwined was grand in my view.

    Rosa Diaz, the most inconsistent looking woman on TV, looked fucking superb on B99 this week.

    I'm not too keen on Beatriz's real accent though.

    Stephanie Beatriz is always terrific, in every way. She's in her late thirties too, so at the very least there's a painting of her looking terrible in an attic somewhere.

    Toggle Spoiler


    Since then they've really started examining the backstory and tying all the various threads together, and it feels a lot less like a "case of the week" thing and more like a fully formed story.

    Also, I initially thought that Jim Caviezel playing Reese as this relatively silent, tough guy type would start to wear thin but it's actually had the opposite effect, I just think it's cool as fuck now every time he turns up and decks everybody.
    Elias is a great character. They also get the balance of bringing him back without over-exposing him bang on. One of the best things about the show is all the big-bads have agency, it makes them so much more believable even when the plots are absolute farce (for example, the plot that revolves around a drug dealer laundering tens of millions of dollars using gold farmers on an MMO that looks incredibly similar to Runescape)

    There's a few minor annoyances but for the most part it's been very good and Clarkson a real surprise.

    That last woman on Millionaire was a fucking trumpet. Asked the audience on question, what is the name of the throwing line in darts? Rocky, jockey, oche, or gnocchi. She then went out by answering that the Balearics were part of Italy. Thick as shit.

    Why do they not bring it back full time? I reckon it’d a big draw on Friday or Saturday nights.

    I saw about ten minutes of it earlier. It's so fucking slow. Just get on with it, I want more questions.

    The Chase is far and away the best TV quiz show.

    I've been getting into Tenable recently. It's fucking awful when you get a team of BANTERRIFIC LADCHAPMATES though.

    I just caught the first episode of the Millionaire run and all of them on there were thick as shit. One guy who used all his lifelines to struggle to Ł8k, then an awful woman who didn't know that Vitamin B9 was Folic Acid for Ł2k and then a guy who thought that Umbro was the Greek Goddess of Victory.

    The contestants on new Millionaire are much thicker than they were on the old one, aren't they? Most use at least one lifeline before a grand, which I'm sure never used to happen, and then they generally get to about eight grand before taking a random swing at something and getting it wrong.

    People in general are probably thicker than when this first ran.

    I thought the first episode was a bit tentative but the second was great, although Asim Chaudhry's a bit rubbish still. The two girls are the best so far

    Tarbuck putting her foot through the little man (aggressively too) was amazing and surprising. Asim is easily the worst 'shit' guy they've had thus far, they were probably hoping he'd be the next Nishi.

    Fucking hell. I thought they must have decided to be ending it but it's a case of low audience which is mental. They've only hit 2m with 1 episode (the first) this season, Americans are shit.

    I've read more since and it says "at risk of cancellation" more often than not, but I didn't think it'd even be a possibility.

    Yeah she's always been a favourite of mine, way better with Johnny Vaughan on Big Breakfast than Denise van Outen too.

    I'm glad you've said this because I watched fifteen minutes of the first episode this morning and really didn't enjoy it. Russell Howard seems too big for his boots, so hopefully Greg Davies can crush his spirit before the ten episodes are up.

    Nooo.

    Someone like Netflix should step in and save it. I reckon it's way more popular than those viewing figures suggest. Half the people that watch it probably pirate it.
