Television, drug of the nation

They just could not leave it alone in ST disco.....

Altered Carbon, episode 8. no spoilers but not quite sure what all the naked fighting was meant to bring to the action. is that a big thing in the book?

It's fighting naked, what's not to like?

Having to wade through 7 episodes before you get to it.

Cloverfield Paradox - meh, ok ish, certainly seems a little better than "made for TV", but not cinema ticket price for sure.
Its a shame such a great original is suffering not so great sequels....

yeah it was dogshit on a stick. there was a recent episode of STD that handled an almost identical plot device with a better script, better acting and better direction.

also: STD is the best thing on telly for yonks. don't @ me.

Hi, Michael, this is Ash Tyler. Can you hear me?

STD's story arc was pretty amazing, all that stuff crammed into fifteen episodes... There were at least two seasons of any other ST series in there... Probably more...

Mental show...

last ep for me tonite.

i did not see the twist coming.

yeeeeeeeess!

x files has been a massive dissapointment for me this "new" season. the last season had some clunky episodes but some diamonds too , not so this season---they both just seem to be blindly reading a script and looking bored and wooden until the director says "now look awe'd by something on the screen/phone/distance..."

Mulder's voiceover monologues in Ep1 ruined it for me. Latest ep was better, it was at least occasionally funny.

finally catching up with Fargo season 3, brutal and brilliant!

agreed.
the lack of chemistry between the two seems to have reached new heights (or lows!) now though.

Series 3 of Channel Zero arrived on the internet purchase list last week.

Loosely based on elements from this set of stories off reddit:

only seen episode 1 but has potential to be a stupid yet enjoyable way to kill some time.

the last two series have suffered greatly from a big drop off in quality of story in the second half though so who knows.

but fuck it, it has monster midgets in it.

yeah the first series was great. packed it in 3 eps into season 2. monster midgets might tempt me back.

monster midgets with meat mallets. (bit of an 80s trolls/ghoulies kind of schtick)

Currently reading 'part 3':
"The frozen body of a one-year-old baby, found a week after vanishing in the hollow trunk of a tree ten miles from the area he was seen last. There was fresh milk found in his stomach, but his tongue was gone."

Derry Girls Episode 6.. The whole series has been a good watch, the finale took it up a notch

I agree, great series and the best ending to a series I think I've ever seen.

I got bored after 2, might carry on if there's nothing else on but not in a rush.

I'm on the last episode now. I think it's great.

I love the constant digs at Gerry, and all the anti-English stuff directed at James.

Both This Country and Young Offenders on iPlayer. While not amazing, both have made me laugh out loud a lot and I really like them.

The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale on netflix.

Big fan of community, but actually a little angry my subscription payment each month somehow makes me ever so slightly complicit in the fact that this was ever made. If I had access to a Men in Black memory zapper I'd make myself forget ever watching it.

-2/10

Glad I thought that looked a bit shit earlier and didn't bother.
