Just finished season two of Last Chance | U
Unsurprisingly, there are idiots who don't avail themselves of the opportunity in front of them and the fat fuckwit of a coach is apparently trying to become a better person. Guess how that works out...

@antipodean are there dudes who need subtitles for their English?

Oh shit yes. At one point I decided that Netflix wasn't doing a good enough job discerning what was intelligible English, so just went with blanket subtitles like I was watching SBS.
When Clarkson said there are people in America who are now breeding with vegetables, he had to be referring to this area.

@NTA i watched the one with the "four times i met OJ Simpson"
It wasn't Chappell's Show standard, but still pretty funny
I found the second one (Heart of Texas) to be funnier.

Finished season 2 last night. I think if they do a season 3 they should go to that school that sucked they touched on mid series. Like their coach said EMCC is not last chance U its second chance U. They have scholarships and win nearly all their games with the majority of their players getting recruited. His school has walk ons and no money its the last place you can play, and no one gets picked up from there.
The kids at that school did seem to actually enjoy it though.
Thought the academic counselors little speech at the end was pretty poignent as well. She had some real empathy for those kids but not a lot for the coaches.

Binge watched both series of 'No Activity'. Loved it.
-
Ozark Episode 1 done.
I'm all in
-
@MiketheSnow I saw Ozark pop up the other day and thought it sounded good, so added to my watch list.
-
@taniwharugby I added it to mine simply because it has Jason Bateman. After Arrested Development, Couples Retreat and Bad Words, I'll try anything he's in.

Cheers. Good heads up. This one would have gone completely unnoticed by me otherwise.
Also realised that since leaving Godzone I missed an entire season of Westside (with a third already underway). Hardly must watch TV, but the kiwiana aspect to someone on the other side of the world is gold. Love the effort put in to the props. Must have taken a bit of doing to track down all the cars and make them look 10 years old rather than 40 (when they had probably been restored to new). Ted West drives a red Sandman! Classic.

Also love how they tied in the Springboks tour.
And some of the very deft touches in linking to Outrageous Fortune. (Rewatching OF after Westside, noticed that Cheryl makes a snide comment about her sausage rolls being store-bought, coz she wouldn't waste time making them from scratch. And so, Rita's party-specialty is home-made sausage rolls.)
And linking into the theme songs, with Rita becoming the muse.
Good to know Season3 has started... will have to grab some of that. -
@taniwharugby had asked me about the final series of Orphan Black and whether it was worth watching.
If you have watched the previous ones then certainly it is worth finishing the story if only to see what happens to Keira. The story has got quite twisted around and the earlier series were better from being less complicated. -
Started watching something called "Taboo" last night on BBC First. Stars Tom Hardy and it appears to be twisted as fuck.

great will do. Watched first episode last night, and will watch 2nd tonight. That's as far as Foxtel has got.

When is the second season of Stranger things out?
FTWD just gets crapper and crapper with each passing episode which is really shit as it actually started better than TWD. The decline is startling. Anyone else agree?
I'm also enjoying Orange is the New Black. Surprisingly good entertainment.
-
@taniwharugby said in TV Serieseseses:
@MN5 Stranger Things about sept/Oct I think.
Yea I'll see FTWD through to end of this season (as I think it's on a break for a month or so?) and if no improvement or sign of originality I'll be bailing.
It'll be worth the wait.
First season of FTWD was superb but pretty much anyone vaguely interesting was killed off. The Mexican setting sounded cool in theory but the last couple of episodes have put me and the Mrs to sleep, literally!
TWD on the other hand is teeming with interesting/quirky/terrifying characters.
