    I'm just watching The Goes Wrong Show on BBC1 and it's silly and ridiculous. I fucking love it.

    Started watching Gilmore girls a few days ago on Netflix.

    It’s brilliant. Apparently there’s a reboot too, so I’ve got loads to work my way through.

    That finale of The Good Place was pretty much perfect.

    I'm trying to work out the pacing - how many are we expecting? It's been working itself out over the first couple. I think once they get into space it'll pick up.

    I'm hoping for a few more cameo appearances. as well.

    8 more to go and a second 10 episode series confirmed. I’m hoping for the same thing too with it just feeling it’s way out until they get on board a ship.
    From trailers we’ll definitely see cameos from Frakes and Sirtis, and I’d be surprised if LeVar Burton doesn’t appear too. Geri Ryan seems to have a bigger role than a cameo.
    Frakes will be directing a few episodes too.

    I liked the first two Picards more than I did Discovery (or whatever the last one was called).

    Picard has been pretty great so far. Pacing is going to be slow as the geezer is a hundred years old.

    Season 4 of The Expanse was excellent too. Best sci-fi show in years that.

    I wouldn’t stop watching Picard because I watch very little and not that dramatic, but it’s beyond cheesy now. Hope it improves.

    Just googled it - it seems like I posted a couple of times in 2017 so just needed to log back in. Good to see you're still here Yev - who are the other regulars knocking about?

    Quite a few still post, but nowhere near the same volume these days. Jimmy and Lewis are probably most active of the old guard, but not being that arsed with football that much now I don't pay as much attention as I used to.

    Why did you stop posting?

    Putting us as part of an 'old guard' risks conflating us with the Old Guard. I would prefer something along the lines of Golden Generation, or Class of 2007 (I know Floyd was around before, but Exeter made his brand, and the same goes for the other candidates).

    Presumably it’s one of the few I’ll have to dodgy stream because I’m left with no legal means.

    Yeah, Netflix doesn't even have the last season. I rewatched it all again recently and had to torrent season 6.

    Yeah, they nailed it.

    I wasn't all that keen on the Bojack finale though, especially as the penultimate episode was terrific.

    Known finales are always dross (except for ones I haven't seen). You have to go out while people still want more.

    Finished The Good Place over the weekend and I’d concur, it’s the best finale I can recall.

    What the Good Place has succeeded with is going "We've written a story for four seasons and then we'll finish."

    And then actually finishing. Very obviously had at least the broad strokes written from the get-go and the finale was spot-on both for the theme of the show and the characters individually. Lovely stuff.

    The Bojack finale was brilliant but I had to re-watch it to appreciate it. On first viewing it felt flat compared to “the view from halfway down” which is probably the best TV episode I’ve seen since Ozymandias.

    It’s also absolutely not going to be the last we see of him, no matter what they say.

    The central idea underpinning that lovely final sequence of The Good Place finale, and in some ways the whole series, was so good it retroactively made the whole thing about ten percent better.

    I thought there were parts of it that were a right mess, but I make you right, in that when the finale is that good it just elevates the whole show.

    It was never consistently as good as season 1 again but it had high points and yeah, the finale makes it worthwhile.

    It lost me halfway through series 1, though I caught a couple of episodes after

    The first half of this season was a bit of a mess but that's the only extended fuck up for my money, any other time it fell apart it tended to come together again pretty quickly.

    I thought they'd peaked in terms of pure emotional dynamite with the Chidi stuff at the end of season three, the 'Jeremy Bearimy, baby' scene in particular, but that finale blew it all out of the water.

    The finale reduced myself and Miss Merse to tears, I'm not ashamed to say. I think realising what must happen later, the inevitability of the fate of those characters was probably more emotionally resonating for me than witnessing them actually reach it.

    I was interested in the gf's reaction to bingeing it with me ahead of season 4 - I caught up with everything at the point when season 2 was halfway through so only had half the binge she did, and it absolutely hooked her in. Especially telling given I've struggle (actually I never have managed) to get her into the premier US comedies like P&R, Community and Arrested Dev. It's the overarching narrative that hooked her more than the humour, which is quite something for a comedy.

    I didn't much like the first two Inside No 9s this series (although the second one a delight for Psychoville fans) but the third one last night was brilliant.

    Endeavour is back.

    I do feel the show is good enough week-to-week that it doesn't need the bigger, more dramatic arcs they go in for and could just hang it all together with the lower-key stuff, and it feels like every year now the show starts off with "Ohhhh tension between Morse and Thursday!" but I do really like it. And presumably still has a good amount of life left in it given they've got another couple of decades to play with without crossing over the original show.

    I was looking at Endeavour the other day when I saw Roger Allam was in it (my favourite of all actors). Although I might need 'Britbox' to watch it from the start apparently, is it worth the deep dive?

    Haven’t watched it yet but that’s good to know because I’d worried they’d lost their touch. The first one with David Morrissey as the referee was the worst one yet.

    I'd say so, I like it a lot.

    There was one series (the third, perhaps) where it started to get a little weirder or more OTT and I was a bit concerned they were revving up to go off the deep end at full velocity (in an alternate reality "tiger in a maze" became the new "jumping the shark") but they'll reined it back in, and Allam / Evans are really the highlight of an already good cast. You can see where they're echoing the Morse / Lewis dynamic with the two of them.

    I'm sure there was somebody else on here who was watching it at the start (John, perhaps?) but I may now be its only devotee on the board.

    EDIT: @Jimmy Floyd

    Out the way, Max.

    I thought it was rubbish as well, but non-football people seemed to like it more, I think to us it seemed very clunky and contrived.

    Kristofer Hivju (Tormund Giantsbane) has been cast in The Witcher

    I really like the character he's playing too and was hoping that short story would be told.
