Not seen. Looking forward to it.

Enjoyed Its a Sin although felt my strings were being pulled at times. Friends recommended Pose and really loving it exploring the Voguing scene around the time Aids is making a big impact on LGBTQ community

S1 was almost perfect. I need to give S2 another chance as I turned it off after 20mins...

Everyone knows that resolved narratives are only used to drive consumerism.

An open ending is unsatisfactory and realistic

This saddens me:

This less so:

I find it odd that there was far less attention paid to Ray Fisher's allegations and "removal" (which is pretty current) than to these allegations from Carpenter.

In case anyone else needed this for, erm, reasons:

series 2 dead pixels is on at the minute
really enjoyable and funny

My gf will love this.

Well, I only paid attention as it was Buffy, which is the only Whedon thing I've ever seen.

The missus bought a bottle of wine called Davida and so I had to look to see if someone had done this. Of course they had :)

It was more directed at the press than you

Yeah, I didn't take it like that, my initial thought was that Buffy was v famous so would probably be bigger news. I've just searched and found that Ray Fisher and this DC business is also pretty famous, so get your point. (not being disingenuous, just don't really watch much telly or movies)

edit - other than Andy's Dinosaur Adventures and Peter Rabbit, which I watch fucking incessantly.

Not usually my thing but...

Celebs go dating.

The actual show is what you think it is. But the commentary is by Rob Beckett and is almost constantly narrated.

So basically if you find him funny, watch it. It weirdly reminds me of Eurotrash.

First time I've watched it, so I'm not sure I could watch it loads, but as something light and funny Rob Beckett has made it into a genuinely enjoyable watch.

fantastic

Zerozerozero is bloody excellent

Really got me hyped for the next season of Gomorrah

Watched State of the Union. Not bad!

I enjoy his films even though a lot of his arguments seem tenuous at best. This is a good read

Just wrapped up the Expanse, enjoyed this season alot more than the last

Watched episode 1 but got a bit bored, will have to pick it up again.

I've only watched the first episode but got me thinking it's as much about the aesthetic (which I'm enjoying) as it is about the content...throwing a lot of stuff against the wall and seeing what sticks

Is there a “The Serpent” survivors support group?

As in it's so shit?
