Television, drug of the nation

Cheer on Netflix is surprisingly brilliant.

Who knew cheerleading was such a thing?

Yeah it was pretty good. SNL also did a pretty good parody of it a few weeks back in their usual cheesy fashion.

Speaking of SNL, enjoying Shrill currently

Schitt's Creek is getting really good again!

Really? I totally ran out of steam with it before the end of the last series.

Yeah, I also found it was in the doldrums for a bit, but have been enjoying the current season a lot so far..

Schitt's Creek is getting really good again!

Your shit trolling is getting even more tedious. Shoo.

Locke & Key. So boringly bad I can't even be bothered to say more about it, other than don't waste your time.

Righteous gemstones is good. Watched a couple of mythic quest too, also decent, both less outright jokes than I was expecting but still good.

Gone for The Stranger and Safe back to back. Quite similar stylistically but preferring Safe atm as a little less is more (in terms of plot lines) I reckon. 6.5/10 for The Stranger.

Coming soon on HBO, David Simon's adaptation of Philip Roth's The Plot Against America

Better Call Saul back for season 5 and so far it's great and can only get better IMO.
Love how the Saul world is slowly moving towards the Breaking Bad timeline.

Thanks for the heads up!

You're welcome, enjoy!

Interesting two parter about the first time DNA profiling was used to catch a killer

I seem to be watching Endeavour. It's the prequel to Morse, set in 60s? Oxford.

Netflix is filming Sandman. As a owner of the first comic book releases I'm happy/uncertain.

Not tv related but since both been mentioned, Locke and Sandman crossover coming this October

Big fan of Simon Stålenhag's artwork. Not sure whether this will do it justice.

I liked s2 much less but this makes me slightly happy still.

"I'm not OK with this" on Netflix. Only 7 episodes and they're shorter than 30 minutes each.

Really good! A touch of supernatural and a great soundtrack

If you start from the very beginning, S1, it's pretty good with some real slow burn character development. I thought the last series had possibly peaked and gone over the top by the end. Will get around to catching up with the latest series this w/e and hopefully I was wrong.

I saw an ep in Oz coz my parentals watch it. It helped that it was the chess playing computer one I guess so it was interesting enough that I started watching it from S1 over here on catch up. I'll watch it all. Once I start something I tend to binge watch all of it regardless of how bad it gets because I want to 'check it off my list of life'. Half way through maybe S4 'Harvest' which is quite interesting in a Hot Fuzz, "this is a local village for local people" kinda vibe.

I got a response from Tim Minchin about Upright which was nice...
