Is it all full of stuff about global warming and climate change rather than just a normal show? I had been planning on watching it but fuck sitting down to a sermon.

Been watching Line of Duty as so many people rave about it. Was not impressed to begin with; the script writing is jarring and unnatural and some of the acting is wooden as fuck - Kate being the worst offender. The whole thing seemed very tame, but persevered due to a few stand out, shocking moments:Toggle SpoilerKeeley Hawes is great though.
He's an END OF THE WORLD GLOBAL WARMING APOCALYPSE show on BBC tomorrow.Originally Posted by Giggles
Climate change is the theme, but he actually narrates over the tangible impacts of it, one example of which so far was genuinely heartbreaking to watch.
I watched the first episode. It was basically the exact same thing as the previous ones. Which is a good thing, I guess, since the others were good. Now I guess I should go check the second one out to get my heart broken.
Yeah I watched ep 1 and it seemed no different to his other stuff
Fuck him and his paper straws.
I’ve no idea how people are entertained from David Attenborough programmes. Watching a polar bear walk around in the snow while he slowly comments on his assumptions of the animals thoughts - yeah great.

Started the Netflix Formula 1 series. Like anybody else in the US, I know nothing about the sport aside from having watched Senna once, but god damn am I into it now. The one annoying part about F1 to me though is that if you’re supporting a team, you’re really just supporting an automobile manufacturer and nothing else. It’s also entirely made up of rich white guys (with a small dose of Lewis Hamilton), but on the whole it seems very dope
There's plenty who aren't that, you could support one of those.
I've not seen it yet, I hear Gunther Steiner comes out of it very well.
Yeah, there's 2 energy drinks in there too.
If you're looking for non-commercialised motorsport you're basically down to racing Pepe on his moped.
There isn't a form of entertainment going that doesn't sound shit if you describe it so literally.

Do many people "support" anyone in motorsports? The stands are usually filled with people dressed in team colors, so I guess yes, but everyone I know who follows any type of racing just watches the races and doesn't have a team to support, like in football. In my case it is the same with cycling. I watch but I couldn't care less who wins or which team is doing well or whatever.
Don't people just want the guy from their country to win?
I guess that works.
Sounds about right.
Fuck Lewis Hamilton.
And Andy Murray.
It's the shirts that make it.
Fucking hell Christine, what are you doing?
I'm on the seventh ep of the first season. I'm really enjoying it but craving more of the 'out there' stuff.I went back to the X-Files recently after a couple of years off. I think I made it to season six last time around, but I quickly realised I had forgotten pretty much everything that was going on so I've just restarted it. I'm back into the second season now.
I'm surprised how little I remember of it from the first time around, to be honest. I'd also forgotten how every notable person that has ever been on television seems to turn up in a guest role at one point or another.
I never did finish The X-files after 2 attempts, granted that was over years and years.
It was always at its best in the 'monster of the week' style episodes.
anyone got recommendations for some funny but low-key tv comedies that are good fodder for having on in the background while doing other shit? i liked playing FM a lot more with old IASIP eps in the background but i'm a bit sick of it now.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine?
Workaholics.

I've seen some absolutely amazing short clips of Letterkenny on Youtube recently, has anyone seen it?
"Your mitt's actually a work of art, Betty Anne. Like Salvador Dali's "Melting Clocks." But instead of melting clocks, it's melting salad bowls of off-pink ice cream."

Watched the second episode of Planet Earth or whatever it is called. Not sure what "the best argument for actually pulling our fucking fingers out and sorting global warming" was. Are we talking about

Still enjoying the show. Penguins.
Although if we are talking about

then yes, that might turn out to be a major issue.
Is the ice shrinking at both poles? I know the ozone hole was above one of them.
Yes, but there is so much of it on the south that it is still not that big of an issue. On the north it is more noticeable.
Damn. At the same time, I'm not sure it's reversible.
It isn't. At this point it is either try to minimize the damage or just ignore the whole thing and hope for the best.
I know the company I work for offsets their CO2 emissions. The protesters at Heathrow demanding people limit their flying is a bit dumb, though. It's an easier solution to see operators slowly reduce their routes. We can't all suddenly switch to long-haul cruises because then they'll moan about the sea life being disrupted. I guess, if nothing else, alternative fuels are being worked on more than ever.
Line of Duty tonight.
Letterkenny is fucking phenomenal.
I've raved about Letterkenny before, the first three series or so are absolutely brilliant. There's a very steep drop after that though.
The television remake of What We Do In The Shadows is off to a blinding start.
Watched Umbrella Academy over the last couple of days. Great stuff if you like superhero whataveyou. Some great characters and acting (#5 and Klaus especially), Ellen Page is a bit of a wet blanket though.
Onto series 2 of Fleabag and it's so good.
I'm always getting caught up on The Passage and it's decent. Not ever going to be a classic but I liked the books and they're doing a decent job of it. I'll be interested to see how they pace the seasons against the books, assuming it gets/has been renewed.
Line of Duty tonight.Toggle Spoiler
What platform is Letterkenny on?
I quite enjoyed the Doug Judy episode of the new series of Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
However I also rewatched the episode with the interrogation of the dentist from last season when it was on and man I fucking love that episode.
That was on TV recently too. One of the best they've done.
Yeah my series link just keeps recording them so that was how I saw it. Any Holt / Peralta stuff is the best really.
Have you watched all of season 6? (I've no idea if it's finished at Murican broadcast speed.)
As of this morning I've 3 still to watch.
And has it got better as it went along or up and down? I know you said previously it went pretty bad but was then starting to pick up at whatever point you were at.
They did one duff episode, and even that had some great stuff in the margins.
Had the #metoo stuff they were addressing happened a few years earlier they could have rolled it into the spell when The Vulture was captain, rather than having to contrive a case.
So I just finished season 1 of The Good Place.
