Billions back on British tv

Buckle up

Roadkill on BBC is very well acted.

Yeah bit different from the usual and a distinct lack of huge drama or action but despite all that, extremely watchable and catchy.

Finished Ted Lasso

Really good, great watch, plenty of laughs, could easily have been cliched and cheesy but they managed to skirt most of that provide a quality show, with plenty of excellent characters.

Yeah I loved it also, I reckon they stole the dancing coach bit from Razor 😀👍

Love Hugh Laurie and almost all his work, but I found the first episode of this series unrealistic, predictable, cliched and very dull.

So pretty much complete opposite. Huh.

The late night big breakfast is fucken hilarious as ever.

Great cameo from Kieran Read in the latest episode

You’d better stick to 7 days

[antipodean]

AWAY

Netflix drama about multinational effort to get to Mars. Team is a Pom, Indian, Chinese, Russian lead by Maggie, the boxer from Million Dollar Baby.

High budget shit. Episode two and we're lead to believe NASA is the complete opposite of what you see in Apollo 11...

I had already stumbled upon Leigh Hart imitating a comedian on Taskmaster so the thought of him twice in one week was too much.

Edit: also catching 5 minutes of Rhys Darby on 7 days probably killed any hope for kiwi comedy

@Crucial NZ has a version of taskmaster?

Don’t even think about it. Jeremy Wells as the master and the contestants include Leigh Hart, Guy Williams and Madeleine Sami.
It’s like they were trying hard to avoid being funny.

That was my initial thought.
I found it on youtube.
I wish I hadn't.
Fuck, I hate Leigh Hart. Out of everything wrong in that show, he still manages to be the worst thing.
He's just a walking sack of your average bland kiwi bloke who thinks he's funny.

[Bones]

@Crucial yeah I wasn't going to bother. I'm not one for cultural cringe but... well yeah.

[MN5]

I guess I shoulda posted in the unpopular opinion thread. Tough crowd

[Nepia]

I'm sure back in the day I was often on my own in pointing out how crap Leigh Hart is - now I have a team, a movement even! Whoop whoop.

[Bones]

@Nepia I like Leigh. What I can't see is a kiwi version of taskmaster being anything other than contrived.

I have no idea what taskmaster is but am happy with the anti Leigh Hart movement on this thread even if you're not part of it.

Indirect support from @Bones on something on the fern.

2020 has outdone itself
