    The documentary about the Trashers on Netflix is brilliant. It's part of the Untold series and is about an ice hockey team owned by a mafia boss who makes his 17 yr old son the general manager.

    Worth a watch.

    Finished the final season of Goliath last night - glad they've decided to end it there as I think the premise had been worn out (down and out brilliant lawyer takes on and beats The Man despite personal demons of his own creation), but really enjoyed Billy Bob Thornton in that role. Nina Arianda was excellent as well, along with Ben's daughter from Lost.

    Second series of Locke & Key has been pretty good. Not quite up there with the first but entertaining.

    The second season of The Morning Show is a mess. Maybe even a turd.

    That's a shame. I felt like it was a bit all over the place for the first half of the first season but it really seemed like it had found it's feet by the end.

    Forgot to reply to this but I'm only about four episodes into season one. It is properly good though.

    I've just finished season two and it stays mostly really good. I'm really hoping it gets a third.

    Have you been watching Foundation @Alex ?

    I’ve enjoyed parts of it (4 episodes in), but so far the show feels like it’s struggling to pull it all together. Not enjoying the cloned emperors.

    I'm four episodes in too and I'm mostly enjoying it but I do agree that it still feels a bit disjointed. I guess the source material is really hard to adapt just based on the spread out nature of the story. They've obviously had to change a lot of it too, and add a lot of things in, to make it a film-able television show that will make sense as a series.

    I think the main thing it has going for it is the world looks really fantastic. They have definitely spent the budget well. I actually quite like the concept of the cloned emperors they have come up with. I think it was a necessity just to have some sort of continuity in "bad guys" when the timeline jumps around so much. I'm never been the biggest Lee Pace fan though, so that is a bit of a struggle at times.

    Anyone watching this BBC thing about 80's music? "The 80s: Music's Greatest Decade?"

    I was browsing the subreddit that uploads various terrestrial TV shows and it caught my eye. Bit of a sucker for 80's music so going to have a look at some point.

    It seems like they are making a genuine effort to go into influences and how music evolved. Only watched the first so far.

    I got about 3/4 season in before packing it in. Spaders greatness could only hook me for so long.

    I lasted until the fifth or sixth season.

    I really liked it (well I like Spader) but it really shit the bed around then.

    I liked the first episode of the 80s music thing but I caught the last part of the second one and it seemed to just be TOTP2 without the branding, here's Madonna and Wham miming while some trivia pops up on screen

    Looks horse shit, aye.

    Also, I'm not sure if my judgement is clouded by it coming off the back of NZ series 2 (the actual best series) but is this series of Taskmaster (Jonathan Creek, David Mitchell's wife, etc.) far and away the absolute worst one yet? Not just because of the lineup either, but the tasks are much lower quality than normal, often giving next to no room for manoeuvre to "do it their way" so you end up just watching 5 people do the same thing (the copy Alex's dance being some of the worst TV of 2021) and it's rubbish.

    It's good - some decent characters and twists. The worst thing is Liz, who's just an idiot/sociopath and they all fawn over her.

    I actually think it's been really good. I wouldn't say it's one of the better ones but not too far off.

    All of them are enjoyable and I think the live studio tasks (the balloon darts especially) have been the best in a while.

    Yeah I'm only halfway through the second episode of the most recent Taskmaster series but it's good. The food in the bags task

    Food tasks are always great.

    Agreed, I'm enjoying this season much more than the last one. I actually like all of the contestents too, which might be a first.

    I watched the first two seasons of Last Chance U over the last week and I thought it was great but the first season is so much better than the second.

    They focused on too many boring players in the second (Kam in particular who was dull as fuck and incredibly irritating but they were clearly hoping he'd be a Ronald Ollie) when screen time should have gone to others. In particular I'd have liked to have seen more of DeAndre Johnson and Dakota Allen, both had the more serious troubles resulting in them getting kicked from their colleges and both of them seemed to have done the most to atone for what they did wrong. It's no surprise that Dakota Allen made it to the NFL and is still playing in the league.


    Buddy was also so clearly being fake in an attempt to look better on camera which actually made him look even worse, absolute cunt of a man.

    1st series was good, 2nd series not so much. 3rd series was so dire I only made it to 3 episodes in.

    I'm liking the third series so far.

    The head coach is a prick (there is a theme) and the QB is also a massive twat but a lot of the rest of the players are alright. The English teacher is the star of the show though.

    The new Stephen Merchant thing, The Outlaws, is a bit of a mess.

    Starts off as a bit of a comedy, but then descends into some low-rent thriller, and the jokes just completely dry up by the 3rd episode.

    I guess it doesn't have to be one or the other, but it's not funny enough for comedy, nor is the story good enough to carry it as a thriller or anything else really. Yeah, bit all over the place.

    I got a bit into episode 2 last night and couldn't take much more. There's seemingly nothing to warrant even a follow up episode, let alone a five part series.

    When I was at the courts I had a Heroin Addict shout at me because the banning order he had received meant he couldn't go into town to get his Methadone. So now he was going to have to go back to the Heroin. No choice like.

    I tried pointing out that pharmacists exist outside of the Town Centre. I also tried to explain that Boots may be a bit more welcoming if he didn't keep shoplifting from them. But no. I may as well have plunged the needle into his arm myself.
