Been on my ‘maybe’ pile for a while, and it’s got a great cast, but I’ve heard it drops off significantly as it goes on. The first two seasons were fantastic, definitely on a par with Succession. Lewis and Giamatti are excellent and the rest of the cast are good. No one is really very likeable but they are interesting characters.

Guess I’ll give it a shot although it wasn’t very good after John Lithgow’s Trinity killer. We also have new Curb and new Succession, both starting in October. Is it naive to have some kind of hope for new Dexter? Although it doesn’t sound like much of (remaining) original cast are returning.

Back to Lower Decks for my Star Trek funnies. I've given The Orville another chance just because so many people seem to love it and it improves a lot as it goes on. The jokes are really out of tone with the rest of the show though and it's feels like 90's Star Trek going through a mincer with How I Met Your Mother, Friends and other dumb network shows but as homage to Trek it works well enough, some of the episodes feel like lifts from The Next Generation/Deep Space Nine.

priest17 Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Seinfeld is now on Netflix, there's seemingly no reason now for me to be the only person in their 20s who's seen it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalifire Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Finished Years and Years last night. Very well paced, but unfortunately I felt the end fell guilty of Russell T Davis's tendency to climax his writing with sweeping, cinematic, orchestral over-drama. Shades of Tenent's Who were on display, and it was all a bit daft. Aside from that, fantastic stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually holds up really well. I’m hoping this starts the forum using more Futurama memes instead of the constant Simpsons memes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedgeAntilles Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Currently making my way through Midnight Mass on Netflix. Won't say to much as the less you know about it going in the best, first episode is a slog but improves after that. I'd describe it as entertaining bollocks, it's not going to win any awards but it's good fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero000 Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 Thoroughly enjoyed squid game when I’ve been off work sick this week. Season 2 of Love on the spectrum on Netflix has been a nice balm for the soul too. Like the undatables but better produced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finale was a slight disappointment but more based on how strong the proceeding episodes had been. And, to be fair, Hamish Linklater could win an award for his performance. Recommended.

Hutchmaster Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 Did anyone give Sky's adaption of Brave New World a go last year? Tempted to give it a go but have read very mixed reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDaze Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 I have mostly been watching Annika… with the fantastic Nicola Walker. Just finished the first series tonight… Blimey.! Didn’t see that coming.! Nicola Walker was off of the equally marvellous Unforgotten… which was double blimey.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
