Television, drug of the nation

I thought Ozark was utter derivative bollocks...I can see the pitch “think breaking bad but with accountancy instead of chemistry”

And not in the desert...how about on a lake?

Exactly how I felt. In Breaking Bad the chemistry is a part of the show and there is something to watch, but with Ozark there is none of that because nobody wants to watch Jason Bateman work through spreadsheets and fire up SAGE. The criminal side of Ozark isn't physical like it is in Breaking Bad.

I didn't care for Breaking Bad or Ozark, so there is some correlation between the two.

WestWorld was great and should have ended when it ended.
S2 and 3 are not really worth the time.

Yeah really enjoyed it, not sure what has happened to Rodman, looks very rubbery

Watched upload over last couple of evenings. it's very much a time filler show for when there's nothing better to watch but it's not that bad for a US sitromcom

I don't care for Narcos or Songs of Praise, but wouldn't automatically assume a correlation.

Is Songs of Praise still on?

Has anyone checked in on Aled Jones lately?

Yeah light with some fun interesting concepts

Ridiculous as Ozark may be, it is notable for the powerful central female roles. And Ruth’s taste in music - bangin’ out the Gangstarr in the last episode I watched. Good stuff, I reckon.

Brassic season 2 feels really slapstick like a sweary last of the summer wine. Had loved the first season.

Enjoying Tales from the Loop. Think 'A Town called Eureka' but darker.

Although why all the 'this is going to fuck you up' science stuff is just left littering the countryside is a bit odd.

Reminded me of this:

I thought that it was watchable as well.

Two shows I’m enjoying that I don’t think have been mentioned yet. Dave on BBC and Upright on Sky Atlantic

I started McMillions (on Sky)
About a McDonald's Monopoly cash scam. I'm hooked.
4 episodes tonight already.

Colin Stetson, yes please

Space Force is kinda fun, the satire/real life line is so hard to place now though.

Is Bosch any good? I've worked out so far he's not a white goods repairman.

I watched the first series. It's genuinely one of the worst things I've ever seen. I kept watching out of morbid interest to see how much deeper in to the well of cliches they could lower themselves. It's laughably bad.

"After a day is this court the morgue will be a relief"

Hard drinking rule breaking Harry Bosch cuts corners but gets the job done.
