    Yep, Baddiel and Brand should write themselves a sitcom on the back of it, they work so well.

    It has been brilliant. Jo Brand playing horse or laminator was superb this week, I somehow found myself really rooting for her.

    Baddiel trying to get the ring on the pole was another highlight.

    Anyone watched The Capture?

    I heard the ending was a bit disappointing but I'm three episodes in and I am fucking loving it so far.

    Yeah we watched it. Enjoyed it but would agree the ending isn't great, although I believe it's got a second series coming.

    Second that. It's such a feel good piece of TV, I'm watching it slowly for about the 3rd time at the moment. The writing is great and every single character in it, even the dickheads, is essentially a nice person.

    I thought the ending was alright. Definitely not as disappointing as I'd been told.

    With the exception of Jamm and Tammy 2.

    Parks and Recreation has been my go to show for something to put on while I'm tidying the house or whatever for years now, so I'm pretty much always at some stage of rewatch. Jean Ralphio has one of the highest comedic batting averages of any character I've ever seen.

    @Lewis have you seen the thing the History channel is doing, with four strongmen doing 'legendary' strongman challenges from the past? Looks like it could be decent. Eddie Hall and Brian Shaw were two of them.

    I haven't seen the actual programme, but I get bits of it recommended on YouTube through watching Eddie Hall's stuff and it looks pretty fun.

    Chernobyl must have been his 'Michu at Swansea' project.

    The Watchmen series, essentially created by Damon Lindelof as a sequel to the graphic novel, is off to a good start. Sky Atlantic on a Monday night, with the first two episodes on catch-up, for those who don't do torrents.

    Regina King is an amazing actress, but I'm somewhat worried this is just gonna end up yet another Lindelof mysterybox thing.

    That entire episode plays as a great comedy.

    Yeah, rewatching it has highlighted how much I dislike quite alot of the show though. From Janice to Meadow, anything outside 'the boys' is really cringe.

    Was the second season of Counterpart mentioned on here?

    Just remembered about it there and didn't realise it's been so long since the first and the second finished ages ago.

    I thought the first episode of His Dark Materials was great. They've done a a really good job with the casting. My only concern going in was James McAvoy as Lord Asriel, but I thought he mostly nailed it. The daemons were really well done too.

    Yeah I enjoyed it too. Although I can't remember much from the books so we'll see if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Should be a good thing, really.

    I'm also making my way through the second season of the Punisher. I'm not finding the typical MCU Netflix mid-season sag too bad but that might just be because Berenthal is so good.

    Not watched any of that, will probably do a binge catch-up once Punisher is done with.

    Hopefully they'll do something with it once the Netflix deal that means they can't use them for now has run its course. I'd be interested to see Disney have a go at The Defenders.

    On the topic of Parks & Rec I'm rewatching The Office (US) at the moment. Such a great show to just watch on the sly as well.

    Black Sails is fantastic. Actually binge-watched the entire show in like 3 weeks not long ago. It actually has a decent ending, unlike so many other good shows.

    Punisher season 2 done, and while I'd have tweaked a couple of things about the ending it was on the whole a really good series.

    May start Watchmen next.

    I stopped watching about halfway through season three. Not that it was bad or anything, I just realised that the plot had really started to get away from me. I need to rewatch it from the beginning really.

    I tried to get into Prison Break since I'm sure I remember a lot of people on here saying it's good. Holy shit it's so unbearably cheesy.

    Young Offenders season 2 is good though.

    The new season of The Crown has been really good so far. The complete cast change has been nowhere near as jarring as I thought it would be. It's helped massively by the fact that Olivia Colman is predictably great as the Queen.

    Menzies as Philip is incredible casting. Also I love Helena Bonham Carter in anything, so it's all working out quite well.
