Anyone watched Atlanta?
Anyone watched Atlanta?
Has nobody mentioned season 2 of Dark came out??
I'll be all over that.
We're a couple of episodes in, but really struggled to remember what happened last season. I'd advise everyone to rewatch it unless you watched it really recently.
Series 3 of Stranger Things is out on Thursday.
Finally got round to watching DC's Titans.
It's up there with Flash and Arrow as the best DC series.
Stranger Things Season 3 is damn good. I thought it was better than the second but not quite as good as the first, however, the final two episodes are two of the best episodes the show has done.

I was close to binning it after the first two episodes were at least three quarters bad knockabout comedy and thirteen year olds angsting about their relationships but it picked up dramatically in the third so I'll see it through, assuming it doesn't go back to that early horseshit.
I felt similar to John. I've 2 episodes left, which I'll knock out tonight, and it has picked up. I'm not a fan of the tartification of Hopper, mind
In an effort to post more about things I like than about things I dislike: Just started Dark. I’ve read that people compare it to Stranger Things (which it is way better than) and Twin Peaks (which it is a bit less avant-garde than) but the fact it’s in German makes it occupy an entirely different space in my opinion gauntlet than either of those two. Really like it so far
Does Its Always Sunny ever get shit?
Just finished Stranger Things 3.

Agree with @Spikey M on each of the points raised there, albeit I wouldn’t say it’s the ‘worst’, I think it’s on par with S2 which had its flaws too in comparison with S1, and both still stand up as great TV, which only pales a little now due to just how high the bar has been set of late.
@mahow, I’m totally with you on that. For the very same trope you cite at the end.
Also. Glad to learn today that Drake x Netflix is yielding a 13 part Top Boy series 3.
Kano and Asher D back on our screens is all kinds of excellent.
Season two of Daredevil really dragged - didn't enjoy it at all, but persevered, and opted to watch season three as I'm a bit of a completist. The difference is huge - there seems to be so much more at stakeToggle Spoilerthat it's much more gripping. Flying through this series in comparison.
Season 3 is properly brilliant. One of my favourite series' of anything.
Started watching Taskmaster recently. Really enjoyed the first series but not enjoying the second one as much due to the people on it. I find Richard Osman annoying and Doc Brown is just boring. It's still decent though.
5, 7, 4, 1, 3, 2, 6.
5 and 7 for me are far ahead of the others with 6 being incredibly far behind the rest. The others can easily be swapped about.
I've not ranked 8 as it hasn't finished yet but it's going to be in that middle pack.
Have you just rated a comedy show on Dave in order of season?
Whichever one had Bob Mortimer in is automatically the best and is unlikely to be beaten.
Started watching Dark Tourist and it's pretty good.
Drew me in as I noticed that they went to Famagusta (where my Dad was born) in one episode which I've just seen.
I've been 10 years ago so it was pretty surreal but he doesn't do the best job of explaining it all. The 'ghost city' is just a section (albeit fairly sizeable) of the actual city.
The episode on Japan is probably my favourite thus far but I also like the small bit he did on Gurbanguly/Turkmenistan.
18th Anniversary of The Office today and Ricky Gervais liked my tweet.
Made it.
He'll like anyone's tweet that praises any of his work.
Shh. I'm having this moment.
My only other was from Greggs.
Power is shit.
Taskmaster:
David Baddiel
Ed Gamble
Jo Brand
Rose Matafeo
Katy Wix
That'll be rubbish, I reckon.
Jo Brand will be horrific.
The rest could work though.
I think Jo Brand will be alright, actually. I can't abide Rose Matafeo and I don't think David Baddiel will be great either. No idea who Katy Wix is.
I've only ever seen Wix on WILTY.
Matafeo's biggest problem is her accent.
I've never seen nor heard of Katy Wix or Rose Mustafeo.
Rose was on an episode of Hypothetical and she's James Acaster's ex.
What a glowing CV.
She also does stand up festivals and is on Jon Richardson's Ultimate Warrior according to Wiki.
Ah, well, you should have said.
Jon Richardson would make a shit Ultimate Warrior.
About the same amount of wrestling ability though.

The dog who played Cheddar in Brooklyn Nine-Nine died.
Is *Dark* good and worth the time?
Yeah but it’s crazy
I saw rose matafeos show at Edinburgh last year and it was very good. Not sure it deserved the prize but I'm looking forward to seeing her on TM, I think she'll be good.
Saw the latest Stranger Things. It started out way too goofy I think, and they made a mockery of Hopper for very much of it. Also he looks well shit, like he's probably on the sauce IRL or something. But then in the last 4 episodes it picked up a lot.
The series is what it is, I know, but the one thing that annoys me the most with it is still that you get absolutely no explanation of what the hell the Upside Down actually is.
It's just another dimension, no?
I guess, but what is the ´purpose´ of it, and why does it have buildings from the real world but is full of monsters who dont seem like they would have built them, etc? I know this is asking kinda stupid questions but it still bugs me that noone ever at least has a theory or any of the lore is remotely explained. But I guess the clue is in the title
