Succession
Up to Episode 6
Great writing, great acting
The fan is starting to get covered.Yeah - pretty good.
I've got one problem with it... watching Succession, and Billions, in parallel currently - and really starting to feel my lifestyle is not up to scratch.
(within a 2 hour period, I watched 2 scenes involving chomping down on an ortolan, yet I've never tried one. Hating being poor.) -
Unforgotten on ITV. Third series starting tonight. First two were very good with a nice change to the police procedural format and good writing/characters.
Worth watching and a well written female lead makes it a show the other half will enjoy so you can fill the shared watching quota without suffering. -
Took me right back to Middletown Mall circa 1989 and day's off from Summer Camp 👌

Letterkenny
Quickfire Canadian hick comedy
PML 😂😂😂

Oh also, Before we Die has been really good.
Compelling thriller from Sweden in which police detective Hanna Svensson steps in to handle a mysterious informant in a criminal organisation when her colleague and lover Sven goes missing
Back watching Sneaky Pete S1 again so can watch S2 with the missus, still really good second time around.
Finally finished Before We Die - highly recommend, bit of a cheesy set up for a second season, but a good, quite suspenseful watch.
Picked back up on Billions also, forgot how brilliant it is. Some of the best dialogue ever.

Finished INto the Badlands - still enjoyable, but you need to like this kind of genre to do so.
Also finished The Expanse, overall good, but were a few eps I kinda thought they were just filling time.
Handmaids Tale - bleak fucking shit! Thought was going along really well until the finale...wtf, seriously?
:::
HOw is OfFred going to get along now? Pretty much outed all those who helped her, does she expect to start a revolution back in the Waterfords house after taking thier baby away and then giving it away?
Why would she give it away, and give up her chance at freedom?
Based on other people throughout, when she returns, she wil be hung or drowned, but wont.
Dumb finale, cynically, done to make room for a 3rd season?

Agree on the Handmaids Tale finale - see spoiler in next post.

Yeah, that ending was fucking stupid. There's no way anyone would give up the chance for freedom. You leave, then figure out a way to come back for your daughter.
Also, the bomb outcome was fucking stupid too. 34 running away Handmaids die but less commanders who are inside the building, and one of the closest Commanders to the bomber lives. And now I'm reading that Aunt Lydia is going to survive her multiple stab wounds - it's like a reverse Game of Thrones, everybody lives.
I like the show, but those scenes fucked me off - Walking Dead script stupidity levels.

Anyone watch the new Sacha Baron Cohen series? I think Nick Mullen (Cum Town) wrote for it.
Great first episode. So cringe
-
@taniwharugby Yes, that last five mins was dumb in THT. What about all the Marthas who risked their necks to help her? And Nick, who stopped Fred from going outside? Everyone is fucking compromised now.

Third episode of Wellington Paranormal was the best yet. Even better, it featured a fake psychic, and then in the ad break, a promo for Sensing Murder. Lol.
O’ Leary is great , the way she reacts to her moronic partner cracks me up,
Her commentary when they tazed each other 😂

I thought this show looked a bit shit to be honest but if old mate jegs and his twisted humour like it then maybe it's worth a hoon

The Looming Tower - a series that looks at the shit that went down between the CIA & FBI in the lead up to Sept. 11.
I guess alot of it is fact based, but assume alot of artistict licence used, so not quite sure how accurate alot will be (and suspect we would never know) but it painted the CIA to be a bunch of cnuts purely out for self interest not sharing info, doing thier best to stymie the FBI at almost every turn, while the main FBI guy (Jeff Daniels) wasnt particularly likeable either.
Was a good watch though.
