@taniwharugby said in TV Serieseseses:
watched a series called You're the Worst.
S1 is pretty good, some funny shit, S2 is hit and miss, the story arc with one of the main characters is taking away some of the humour.
Think there are 5 seasons, not sure how they can keep it up for that long, cos I think I might bail after S3 if it doesnt pick up again.
Also 3 seasons into Brooklyn 99, only ever watched bits here and there, so started from scratch, pretty good, some genuine laugh out loud stuff, some less funny, but enjoying it.
You’re The Worst started as a comedy and then became a drama. I liked the comedy version but checked out as it became a drama.

I have been finishing off watching the last episodes of Ozark this week.
##spoiler
This is a show I have talked up, but I was disappointed with the final episode. It seems to be very polarising too, you either liked it or hated it.The car crash was a big tease, other than proving it seems that the Byrdes can't die. In the end they will do anything to stay together and survive, which I guess was the point. I really wanted Wendy to die a horrible death.

@Bovidae I was genuinely happy with the finish of this show.
##spoiler
I'm sick of shows where everyone gets their comeuppance and it's nice to see that sometimes bad people do prosper, having left a trail of wreckage behind them.
##endspoilerNice to see Netflix support a show to its natural conclusion with such excellent writing and acting.

Spoilers...
Near the end there, I was a little irritated by the "baddie then bigger baddie"... but the finish was fucking good.
Just leaving everything so messy... zero tying up of loose ends, because... that's not how shit works. It was a fucking mess, everybody involved was a fucking mess, and it ended up being a fucking mess, and...Well done. 4.5 hapless-druggies out of 5 "was he an hobbit?"s.
0 tits.
Fuck-all violence.
Still good. -

I'm pretty sure my first "album" was Weird Al's "Fat".
And to risk repeating a topic which has been done many times before, derailing many a thread...
First "album" of any content in any form: Weird Al's "Fat" (dubbed cassette)
First "proper music album" in any form: Def Leppard's Hysteria (dubbed cassette)
First legal album: Guns and Roses Use Your Illusion II (cassette)
(fond memories of my curious father and auntie putting it on the car stereo on the way home, and "Get In The Ring" coming on - as I was reading the lyrics in those little booklets that came with it)
First CD: purchased 3 at the same time, with my Aiwa 3-CD stereo... Smashing Pumpkin's Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, Queen's Greatest Hits Vol 1&2, and something else... can't remember. Genuinely can't remember, but I'm wondering if it's deliberate amnesia, and it might have been Live's Throwing Copper?
First iTunes album: fuck off. Never. -

The Staircase with Toni Collette & Colin Firth. Docudrama about Michael Peterson and did he kill his wife or not.
Got rave reviews, but we gave up after 2 episodes. Just trying to be too clever by half and it became a bit unwatchable for me.

Accidentally found out what happened on Ozark via a FB mate who obviously isn’t into spoilers.
Was gonna say I wasn’t happy, but then with such a bunch of loathesome characters ( seriously, every single one is to different degrees ) I’m not sure how I would be ?
Probably won’t bother watching.

Having seen umpteen documentaries about this I wasn't sure where they could go with it so good to know.

@Nepia I'm about half way through s3 and while still some funny bits, certainly seems to have changed.
Jimmy is an absolute fluffybunny to Edgar!
On Edgar, dude is David Schwimmers doppelganger, his look, facials, movement and even the way he talks he could be him.

@Tim So after the first episode I said I would encourage my partner to watch as she hasn't read the books.
She loved it and is pissed Season 2 isn't being showed immediately.
By about ep 3 I was into it for its own and not comparing with the novels. I think it was very well done.

A light “dramedy” to watch with the partner is “10 Percent” (Amazon)
Based on the well reviewed French comedy it is about a small acting agency in London, the work and lives of those there.
I only got into it as lots of the show is filmed about one block from where I used to work in Fitzrovia. So much was instantly recognisable and the office is a couple of doors away from the pub I had farewell drinks at. So a bit of nostalgia for me.
Slightly Ted Lasso like. Really good characters and you get into their various stories easily.
Nothing brilliant but a well made watch. -

Yeah, Mrs M loved it as well having not heard about the books. Hard not to like a series with Kristen Scott-Thomas & Gary Oldman.

Finally got around to watching Dexter; New Blood.
Started off slow for a couple of episodes, but started ramping up and by about ep 5 was bloody good, and I ended up bingeing eps 6-10...back to some of the better eps from S1 and 2.
However, like most series, and the finale of the Original Dexter series, was left a bit disappointed with the end.
Guess the issue is they will never satisfy everyone in ending a show, and while I enjoyed half of the final ep, the last 25 mins, I didnt think held up with the rest of this season...it kinda ended how I expected it too, but just not 'how' I thought it would end.
