Television, drug of the nation

Yeah, fuck that. My son was obsessed with Finlay, the earlier guy taken out by injury. He’s still asking when he’s coming back.

Also, Kerry has been the best female competitor the whole series, shame she fucked yup the Eliminator.

@Chung - great work mate - can you now tell us how much of a cunt Clattenburg is irl?

Stick with it. Well worth it

Hazbeen Hotel. A musical set in hell.

I watched as there wasn't anything else on Prime that I fancied and ended up watching all of it.

It's not a cartoon for kids though.

Just finished S1 of 'For all mankind' tonight. Really enjoyed it. Nicely paced drama.

Looking forward to S2 now.

Just to add rewatching The Patriot on Amazon too, such an excellent series.

I loved patriot. Such a random program but it was amazingly done.

Things You Should Have Done on iPlayer. Very silly, very enjoyable. Won’t be to everyone’s taste.

Yes, I love it, she's brilliant

Things I have done on iplayer - is this a list?

happy valley
The tourist
Have I got news for you

What are the ones I should do?

Worth a watch

Stick with it. Well worth it

You had me at Ron Pearlman. Didn't like the NY dinner party episode but the other two have been much better. Thanks for the push.

S5e1 of Gomorrah.

Did. Not. See. That. Coming.

Bren Kinsella, Kin. Truly terrifying baddie.

Bren Kinsella

Horrible fucker ain't he? Really well played and I've struggled watching the actor in fine other things since.

X Men '97 on Dismal+ is mint.

Just spotted that we never watched season 6 of Snowfall. It's all on iPlayer and pretty great. Casting is on point.

Awesome!

Thanks for flagging this. I came across Snowfall randomly years ago. Fucking loved it and smashed the lot out.

Very much a "just one more episode" followed by "why the fuck did I go to bed so late?" the next day.

Fun fact. It's based on a guy called Rick Ross, who inspired the name for the rapper. The real Rick Ross later tried to sue the rapper, but had left it too late and the statue of limitations had passed.

Anyone watching 3 body problem. I’m 2 episodes in and none the wiser. Very watchable but my brain has no idea what’s going on.

Big fan of For All Mankind.

Interesting mix of family soap x alternate history x reasonably accurate orbital mechanics.

I just acquired this vintage Y2k outfit to watch S4 in. Although obvs in the show the logo is different, with the red chevron going to the left.

Never heard of it, Started to watch and it's brilliant 👍

Starts off with so much swag and the period aesthetic is spot on

Shōgun looks beautiful, soundscape immersive, and the complex political-religious machinations easy to follow.

We stumbled across Finders Keepers on Amazon yesterday. Spent the first five minutes wondering if it was a piss take but it was actually quite good in the end. The classic American tale of searching for something more, drug abuse, a dysfunctional family and an amputated foot.

On this note, my 5yo is really into How To. They want to send a self addressed envelope to the shoe's PO Box.

I keep trying to explain that it won't exist anymore. Will probably buckle and send one in the end.

It's still going, even Fred makes an appearance. Check out ITV player.
