    Richard Herring is an insufferable child so I'll probably give that a miss.

    Not sure what the consensus was on here but I'm 6 episodes into the Mandalorian and it's awful.

    I loved it with the exception of one episode.

    If by "awful" you mean "arguably the best Star Wars thing to reach a TV / movie screen" then you're right, Aydee.

    Which episode did you not like @John ?

    I agree with that in general. In fact I'm fairly sure I posted almost exactly that in here after watching it.

    The one with the prison, Ian.

    What, the prison-ship prison-break thing? I liked that although the Twi'leks were a bit annoying.

    Yea, I couldn’t stand the prison ship one, it basically sent me to sleep once the novelty of Ayoade being there wore off.

    Aside from that episode it was great though.

    Fairly sure the episode in question is number 6 though, so that might explain why AyDee is hating it.

    Ayoade-bot was the worst thing about that episode.

    Umbrella Academy season 2 was good, although not quite up to the standard of the first season perhaps. Trod a lot of the same ground premise-wise and time travel always gets a bit convoluted, but the characters are great (Five and Klaus especially). The third season looks like it'll be interesting.

    Just finished and whilst I agree that it trod a lot of the same ground, I think I liked the ending of season 2 more. Set up for a cracking third.

    Would really have appreciated another 30 minutes to be discarded but at 90 mins, I may give the Netflix docu about Anelka a chance. Always liked him.

    I watched Fear City the other day. It was alright but it was a lot of cop backslapping and the only Mafia blokes they could get were a couple of street level guys. DA's age terribly before they even get in the job, it seems. Also, American news channels give no fucks about showing dead bodies in the cold light of day.

    My wife's been watching Outlander. It seems terrible, but lots of sex scenes to watch while FM is processing.

    There's a proper babe in it though:

    Further showcasing Americans having no humour, CW have pulled Taskmaster off the air after one episode due to crap ratings.

    Looking For Alaska, some 8-part US series on iPlayer based off some [no doubt dogshit] US teen fiction. They're each an hour long so it's some commitment but the bird Kristine Froseth is my new Gillian Jacobs and I generally like coming-of-age shit, even if it's mediocre at best like this.

    I've started watching The Last Ship. I just noticed it on Amazon when looking for some relatively easy-going, possibly throwaway television to watch and remembered you saying it was alright. it is alright. Not a bad shout.

    It's a bit "God bless America", "hoo-ah Marines!" etc but I don't mind it. Even when it gets a bit too ridiculous (pantomime villain Russian admirals and an excursion to Nicaragua to catch some monkeys leading to a run in with an evil drug lord, being the two main offenders so far ) the general premise (which is admittedly almost a bit too close to home at the moment!) is still interesting enough to keep me watching.

    I watched Steve-O's new thing, Gnarly. He's been plugging it on social media as some "too extreme for TV, even YouTube won't show it!" like it was all rad stunts and funny skits, but it's basically him doing not-funny stand-up comedy while telling some stories from his life. I think Prime and Netflix and whoever else just didn't pick it up cos it's not that good, rather than it being zomg crazy. Obviously, I enjoyed it but I'm a massive Jackass stan, but I was hoping for better.

    Yeah, it is a bit cliched at times but it's not a bad watch. It changes quite a bit from season to season too.

    That's good, as the "where shall we sail to this week" format would have gotten a bit tedious. Anyway, I've already finished season one.

    I've recently been watching Impractical Jokers on Netflix and Comedy Central and its fantastic. I didn't expect much from it but its laugh out loud brilliant.

    Does it do that American TV thing where each episodes time slot is 25% adverts, 20% "Here's what's still to come on the episode!", 20% "Here's what's happened so far!" and then the rest actual content?

    How long this misfit crew of cockney submariners hang around on The Last Ship? Because it's definitely the most grating caricature of any British dialect that I've ever seen American television produce.

    Great show. I cancelled my Sky subscription about 2 years ago, have they continued to release new series?

    I should add that any of their live/on stage stuff is godawful.

    Ah shit, yeah, those dickheads. Annoyingly long, unfortunately. That's season 2, isn't it? I think it's most of the season.

    I'm an hour into this and I think he's actually nailed it.



    Still three and a half hours to go, but I can already see how the last line of season 3 of the show makes perfect sense.

    I've just come a across this after it's been added to amazon prime, Cullen Bohannon might be the coolest character of all time.

    The Swede is a fucking g too.
