Been watching The Serpent a bit, 4 episodes in now.
It's ok. Gonna see it through, but it's a tad slow, somehow. The main actor is great at being weirdly creepy, but it also kind of goes old after a while.

Just started watching The Simpsons from the start. Obviously seen loads before but though it'd be cool to run through from the beginning
I did that recently and found that I got to the shit stuff way sooner than I expected. I thought season 8 / 9 would be the point when I started to lose the will to continue but it end of 7 / start of 8 it was already at the point where it had the odd great episode or classic moment but the quality is noticeably deteriorating.
Finally watched Line of Duty season 1. It's very good. Has it jumped the shark yet or does it stay high quality?
It's good throughout I'd say.
If you enjoyed season 1 you'll probably enjoy the rest of it.
My wife has considered starting Line Of Duty but being six seasons in put her off. Unfortunately that means she’s watching The Good Doctor again, which is just garbage and I passively watch it. Never thought she’d find something worse than Virgin River.
I see Handmaids Tale is back though, so gonna watch that tonight. I actually sit and watch that though, rather than dick about while it’s on.

This Time off to a cracker.
On to season 2 and the running theme seems to be that if everyone was just honest about who they were shagging the whole issue could have been avoided.
Mortal Kombat wasn't good along with all other computer game movies.
Season four is Thandie Newton, right? I do seem to remember that one getting a bit.....daft, in places. They all blur into one though.
Black copper who gets in a fight with forensics bloke.
Season 4 is excellent. Tonight's episode was a bit of a wet fart.
Fucking hell that was terrible.
Lol, wtf was that
A series too far.
Thought the fourth man could have had a more sinister turn than they did.
That was, indeed, terrible.
You've kind of missed the point here. There was no real drive to nail the real corruption and the will was to bury the team and bury any investigation. He was just the last person left carrying the bag to get caught but it didn't mean he was the one running the show or the fourth man. The point was a political one rather than solving the entire conspiracy.
I understand the ending and the point that was being made. It was just rubbish, boring TV.
That's also true. I thought it was a bit of a plodding series.
I haven't been this smug about not watching a series since Lost.
Yeah it’s all but put the nail in the “maybe I should start” coffin.
There was never any question of me watching Game Of Thrones, but it was a similar feeling.

It's actually Terry behind the scenes who is some sort of Kayser Soze character.
This is a good summary.
Half way through the final season now.
I have a thing for women with Scottish and Irish accents so was really looking forward to a scene where DI Davidson and Kate scissored.
Kate is neither Scottish or Irish fwiw.
When I was a kid I thought Terry Wogan was Welsh.
You're welcome.
I used to have that blind spot, as a kid. Didn't know Richie Benaud wasn't English until a rude awakening at the age of about ten.
I always assumed Nick Knowles was Australian, I still don't know where he gets that accent from.
What do you think it is? The cadence she speaks at?
Just finished watching "Them" on Prime off the back of it being all over Social Media.
What a load of shit. Avoid.
It's similar to Saw in that you can tell the writers just sat around thinking up the most offensive/shocking shit they could and built a flimsy story line around it. Saying that, it's worse here because the subject matter is somewhat historic.

I have watched all the Line of Duty episodes over the past week and a bit, and the series order goes:
1. Series three
2. Series two
3. Series one
4. Series six
5. Series five (crap except for Stephen Graham)
6. Series four (crap and stupid except for Neil from The Office)
I think the ending was quite good, but really they should have just finished after the first three series which were all excellent.Toggle Spoiler
I agree with that - I think they would have done better dropping the whole OCG storyline after Dot rather than keep plugging it. Police corruption would have been interesting enough without some kind of mass conspiracy.
Series 4 was comfortably the worst. I'd rank 5 a lot higher.
Been watching Invincible the last few days. When it ramps up at times throughout the series it is absolutely mega.
Next up for me was Jupiter's Legacy on Netflix which is pretty shit.
There are some interesting plots and characters but there seem to be more of those that are crap which they end up focusing on far too much (Chloe is a horrific character with far too much screen time). Plus most of the intriguing storylines aren't explored in this run.
The pacing is also a serious problem, it's 8 episodes and yet not much has really happened (I saw a review describe the run as a prologue which is bang on). The visual effects for some characters/powers are also pretty crap.
They also focus far too heavily on ethics/morality and the main superhero comes across as a shit and boring Superman clone.
The fight scenes are pretty good though (especially the one in the first episode) but they're pretty rare in the show.
Watched Invincible over the weekend. Enjoyed that a lot, and a great cast.
Missing Taskmaster so gonna start on the New Zealand one, I reckon. They’re all on YouTube.
