Television, drug of the nation

2 days for me from start to finish. Last 3 episodes on the turbo doing some low intensity stuff when I was supposed to be working. Really good, easy watching.

Yeah. Best accidental Amazon series yet.

Rewatching S1 at the moment.

Nice thing about rewatching stuff. You now understand the Mauler Twins continual argument about 'who's the clone'. 😅

Jupiter's Legacy has some boys vibes but not quite so twisted, decent first episode though.

Just stumbled across Mythic Quest which is kind of a jpod/betas tech comedy kind of thing.

fronted by Rob Mchelellelelenenneney from It's Always Sunny with a pretty strong supporting cast that I've seen in lots of other decent stuff (Danny Pudi/Ahbed from Community).

Not going to be your fav show but another decent time filler on the trudge to oblivion.

Did someone mention Starstruck on iPlayer?

Very good anyway

This is great! 3 episodes in.

Just stumbled across Mythic Quest

It's no always sunny but worth a watch.

Inevitable really

Fairly improbable setup, but she's ace, as is her flat mate. Great fun!

I quite liked the ending too. nice and understated but still quite sweet.

Not sure enjoyed is the right word but Ian Wright's Home Truths was good TV this week

Invincible was great, watched it all in one go.

Enjoying this Jupiter's Legacy shit, all really good so far, 2 left for tomorrow.

Same. There is a lot more going on than expected.

the jumping around between story arcs is giving me flashbacks to watching lost and not in a good way. i get they're trying to tell both simultaneously but think the background arc would have made a good standalone episode.

enjoying the show though.

Caught up on Mythic Quest as well. It's not a fantastic show but I'm really growing a soft spot for Rob Mcheneelelelneenlenelly's work. He's quite good at interlacing some genuinely progressive subjects within mundane/ridiculous scenarios and not afraid to use himself as the negative focal point. a couple of the side story episodes have been very well done too.

Danny Pudi plays the heartless monetisation guy perfectly too. I imagine @greenhell has ran across many people like him in previous work-lives.

not sure if this fits better here or in the films thread as it's standup special but browsing the usenet release lists and saw Louis C.K had made a special in 2020 that obviously wasn't widely marketed for obvious reasons, curiosity got the better of me and I wanted to see how he had intended to get out of the extremely deep hole he had dug him himself (given he isnt back on screens now I assumed it hadn't worked but you know...).

turns out he wasn't that bothered about redemption at all and filled a room with 1400 edgelords who all gave him a standing ovation and heroes welcome for being brave enough to walk out on stage again after sexually harassing all those women.

He muttered a few words about having a rough time the past few years then started on his rebirth as an edgy right wing free-thinker lib owning comedian.

about 6 minutes in i googled a review to see if he maybe was doing a bit and was going to be like only joking and then own his fuckups, turns out he wasn't. deleted the show off my media server.

hey man, i haven't worked for the soulless ghouls in online gambling for 6 years now - a stain on my soul that no amount of room temperature vodak and unsuccessful crywanks will remove.

isn't that the guy from the community?

S06E01 of Inside Number 9 is like a fever dream wrapped in a Tim Vine standup set.

Utterly nuts. Loved it. So many references within references

Season 4 is on iPlayer now. Still good

New volume of Love Death and Robots on Netflix. Watched first few, so far so good.

if you like gory hack and smash action (some battle scenes absolute blood baths) anime stile, Castlevania is back, season 4 available on Netflix
Characters and story line very good for animated series, although not sure how true to original source as I only played it couple of times on mega drive
Written/produced by Warren Ellis

Went to the Taskmaster screenings today for series 12, watched two episodes.

Contestants are A++++

Series 12... I feel like since moving to C4 they've really ramped up production times.

Edit, was it good? Feel some of the tasks are definitely lower quality than earlier series.
