Television, drug of the nation

Legion.

can't get into it. what am i missing?

I like it. I don't know what is going on though.

Each episode takes a while to get into as it's not straightforward at all, so I think it should have been released as a complete season in one block.

yeah i might wait until the whole thing is purchaseable before i give it a second chance.

I like it but also am unaware of what is going on.

If you look at that "Legion" character info who he is, where his powers from, all very easy make sense, but then it's massive spoiler as it's looks like its main story line so far

darth vapors?

who knew!

Yeah lol. I bet they wanted Wes Anderson kinda look for these series

who he is, where his powers from

I think that's fairly well known, isn't it? I think they're just being cute with the reveal (and possibly don't have budget for most obvious actor in that role).

You knew?!?! Well I'm easily bamboozled.
I'm not big fun of marvel so this all new to me, soz

Fortitude.

I don't think it's amazing but the story is compelling so I can't stop watching.

I didn't know but it was mentioned in the first explanation/review I read about the series.

'Pedalling dreams: the Raleigh story' on bbc4 tonight

Legion uses too much out of context switching for my liking, they try to make things seem complex but just end up with nothing making any sense.

one shot doctors office, now we're all in the woods, oh look we're in a mental hospital, now we're in the secret lab, there's been nothing to indicate which of these is the real one or why we're in any of these places, I'm sure we'll get to that eventually in the meantime look how crazy it must be to be inside this guys head.

many episodes go by and it's still the same old shit.

I'm loathe to spend too much time trying to decipher it either as it feels like it's just going to end up like twin peaks where most of the random shit just ends up being left unexplained.

hah, Legion is just confirmed for season 2
Not long till April now Better Call Saul, Silicon Valley and Fargo is back. WooooHoooooooo

Master of None is also back in May.

Good times.

Inside No 9 is consistently above average telly

The Trip to Spain is coming out soon. This time on Sky Atlantic. I love Steve Coogan:

How do they feel about the move of channels?

“Rob feels fine, I feel awkward,” Coogan says firmly, within ear of the Sky press officer. Brydon laughs. “Because you’re more nuanced?” he asks. “No,” Coogan says, “because I don’t like Rupert Murdoch.” Brydon leans back a little in his chair. “Whereas I … I adore the man. Listen, my thing is, if you’ve signed, it’s a bit disingenuous to then take the …” Coogan cuts him off: “Whereas I think it’s more dishonest to reverentially toe the line of your employer. The thing is, it’s not like we’re doing them a favour. We are providing them with ‘content’.” He picks the word up limply.

Coogan smiles. “I wish more people watched Sky,” he says, more gently. “That’s another thing. But maybe they will when The Trip goes out.” He has, after all, already publicly labelled the show “Last of the Summer Wine for Guardian readers”. “It’s my theory that a lot of people who like The Trip are the very demographic who are resolutely non-Sky subscribers. So I think we might just be a cynical ploy by Sky to get them to adopt the platform. If they manage to do that I’ll be very impressed. But it wouldn’t sway me.”

Just watched the first episode of Big Little Lies.

Strong opener. Plenty of intrigue.

The Bureau. (eng subs)

French spy shit.

Well worth a watch

No honestly i just watch gogglebox

is anyone taking up the 'watch all episodes of iron fist' challenge?

I watched it all whilst off sick on Monday. It's quite shit.

I've been sitting on final half of last episode for about 4 days now just can't be arsed to watch it.

Did anyone else watch "do we really need the moon" on BBC4?
Find the topic super interesting but the presenter utterly intolerable. She internates her sentences in the most frustrating way. And she's also really patronising.

BBC 4 still exist? Anyway, I watched new episode Rick and morty today (finally!) and it's been promised 1 hour special but the episode was only 20 something minutes long. Outrage!
