Television, drug of the nation

I watched TV for the first time in months yesterday. No wonder people are freaked out.

Seeing news with video conferencing, Graham Norton with video conferencing.

This is apocalyptical broadcasting.

Probably healthier to all if they just admit nothing is going down, nothing is happening, and then broadcast repeats and re runs.

Detectorists

Was talking about it this morning with Mrs EB, saying its perfect show for the quar

Is it streaming anywhere now? Could totally watch it all again

EDIT : iplayer

Started Gangs of London, pretty fucking heavy on the gore.

up to episode 8 of Better Call Saul season 5, superb TV

I love Mike

It's great ain't it?

It was fab. What did you make of the way it finished though?

Beastie Boys Story is good. Teared up seeing Ad-Rock tear up about Yauch

episode 9 is intense

After life S2 was also great again, roller-coaster of feels and laughs.

didn't enjoy the ending but I suspect Gervais intended that to be the case.

Nice end to Race Around the World, unbelievable it can be that close after such a long distance

Hey look, Killing Eve is back!

Yes Killing Eve is back and it is proper shite.

What a let down.

That's a shame.
Loves 1st season
What's so bad about it?

It's very boring. Nothing exciting or interesting in it at all.

Characters seem thin and staid.

Literally the only thing that raised my interest is that Villanelle is still darn sexy.

^ this. Lost interest in season 2. So far season 3 is almost a parody

Yeah. Was proper exciting (or contrived depending on how cynical you are).

Seems we're not alone

tough crowd lol

Better Call Saul season five was a masterpiece. Barely put a foot wrong.

I’m quite enjoying Gangs of London but it looks like am dram in comparison to BCS.

Homeland went out perfectly, not seen anyone mad at the final episode

Agreed, rewatching some of the early Breaking Bad stuff at the moment - great camera work which just got better for me.

In a desperate attempt to arrest the slide into complete marshmallow-brain, we made everyone watch the National's Twelfth Night yesterday. Will finish off this evening - it's very good.
Danny Boyle's Frankenstein next week which we didn't see live so will also watch.

(^ probably >>>>> theatre thread, but whatevs).
