Toby Jones is great in it.

Toby Jones is great in everything he's in.
It is indeed very good. Plex says three series and a special? Where does the special slot in please? No spoilers.
I'm a twit
There are two specials.
One just after series 2 and the second is after series 3.

Episode one he seems to be exclusively battering black fellas so farOriginally Posted by Manc
Liam Neeson would have been perfect.
I saw a clip of it on Youtube yesterday involving the lead foiling a car jacking with no subtlety whatsoever, resulting in numerous breaks and fractures for the perp. Must admit, tempted me to get involved.
I'm watching Warrior. It's great. Boardwalk Empire with kung fu and tits.
My main issue with season 2 of Reacher is I preferred it when he was an unknown quantity to everyone around him rather then a little squad all giving him a blowjob. Still, it's quite good. The action is always brutal.
Most of the other books are him going solo and sorting shit out. Usually with a (hot female) sidekick.
Season 2 of Detectorists didn’t hold my attention half as much as the first. First Christmas special tonight though.

Series 6 of The Crown wasn't anything close to as bad as all the reviews said.
It really suffers from being pulled into the Diana black hole so can't live up to the quality of earlier seasons where they neatly married a wider national historical event with an internal Royal issue that often mirrored each other in some way. That seemed to have all gone out the window once the Diana show started.
Agreed. I just watched the first 3 episodes, and said to my wife that given the landslide of negative reviews were based on the first 4 episodes, the fourth episode must be a fucking stinker.
Is it actually worse, or do people just remember the actual events covered in the latest series, so they've suddenly realised how much they exaggerate/make things up?
Another show I've only heard women aged 30-50 talking about until now.
I was going to chip in that this was one of the most tragic exchanges I've seen on here.
And I include recommend me a hoover talk in that.
It may surprise you to learn some of us are married to women aged 30-50. My Steam deck can only block some of it out.
I've finally started watching Black Mirror. Refreshing in that it isn't (yet) American, I cannot swallow that accent at the moment. First two editions not bad, I presume there is better to come.
Not all episodes are the same quality, but that show still has some of the most interesting concepts to be put on television. Nothing really compares.
I don't think my Mrs has ever seen an episode so I can't blame her.
I watched some Reacher season 1 the other night, it’s crap.
Giggles liking The Crown while I think it's embarrassing pap is certainly an interesting dynamic.
I'd have that as pretty normal. It's mindless entertainment, whereas I'd have you down for more of a documentary type thing on them.
I don't really want to know anything about them, accurate or otherwise, except that they're still there and the reds haven't taken over.
So you're a royalist that doesn't care about the Royal Family? That's an interesting position.
I mean it's a faithful adaptation of the books, which I always regarded as a bit of literary sorbet to cleanse the palate between heftier genre tomes. James Bond on steroids and short clipped sentences rammed full of gun porn.
Believes in the institution, doesn't care about the gossip. Makes sense to me.
I want to know when they're gone and the reds have taken over. But I will lol at the embarrassing nonce stories and so on along the way.
Yep. Put a crown on a massive pepperami for all I care as long as that is head of state and not President Boris Johnson / Tony Blair / Danny Dyer.
I like The Crown too @Giggles, and am also not watching it under any female duress. I didn't think it was that odd a thing to enjoy, to be honest.
Although thinking about it the only other person I know in real life who likes it is my 63 year old mother.
All the boring people at work like The Crown so I’m surprised by its fan base on here.

I think we'll see a Far Right government before we see a red one.
And by "Far Right" I mean slightly right of centre.
We'll see full on fascism in this country before we see mild social democracy.
First two seasons of The Crown are immense. Lithgow as Churchill is also fantastic.
Never seen a second of The Crown, I thought it was for old women.
I did recently watch Bodies on Netflix which is alright. Lot of plot holes and the ending lets it down though.
Been watching a lot of Horrible Histories recently which must be one of our greatest televisual exports.
Then noticed one of them pop up in the Here We Go Christmas special, a show I have never heard of, which was really quite good for a prime time BBC1 comedy effort.
And there was another one, albeit a more famous one, in that Wonka film as well, two if you include Rowan Atkinson.
You may well enjoy Ghosts then, niko.
HH has gone to shit since the original cast left.
Yeah, seen a bit of Ghosts and it's alright, again noticing all the HH folk.
Think I must be on a terminal loop of the original cast editions on iplayer.
I've just seen they're bringing Little Britain back. Why?
What's the point? It wasn't funny the first time around and they won't be allowed to do any of the shit they were doing back then anyway. Blacking up and playing OTT American Black women? A Trans-woman asking for moustache dye? Fat Fighters? A disabled woman licking people and shouting "EHHH EHHH EHHH". Even Vicky Pollard would get the mob going.
It's just going to be dull sketches about safe topics. What's the point?
The only positive that can come from this is hopefully the younger generation will find some of the old clips and get David Walliams cancelled.
Because it's existing IP and you'll get at least 7 people watching as opposed to the churned-out gunk on netflix.
Speaking of which, has anyone bothered with the new Ricky Gervais standup?
I'm a twit
I haven't watched a stand up comedian for atlest a couple of years.
They all just have podcasts now.
I could tell you the 5 jokes Gervais makes in his newest show without watching it.
I watched the Gervais thing last night and SvN's basically nailed it with that comment. There are a couple of interesting points he makes, but so much of it is a rehash of a rehash and I didn't laugh much.
It was better than his last one but leaned too heavily on the offensive to some = funny, rubbish.
And he had a pair of socks down his crotch for some reason.

Amazon is set to introduce adverts to its Prime Video streaming service from 5 February 2024.
Customers in the UK and Germany will see "limited" ads unless they pay £2.99 per month to remove them.
Absolute horseshit.
The cunts already put ads for their own tripe at the start of stuff. Like Now TV wanting you to pay to use their streaming service then they bang a load of ads in when you start watching something. They'll cry about piracy though.
Haven't Amazon made something stupid like $50bn cumulative net profit during the past 20yr? How fucking greedy are they? That said, I did read that is your remove the AWS business, the e-commerce business still isn't profitable :/
