Television, drug of the nation

That rampant classism is actually a good thing and we should all know our place?

In D minor.

the saddest of all keys

Do you remember the bit where Kylo Ren kills all of Luke’s Jedi apprentices and Luke puts himself into exile?

Still too soon...

Been enjoying The Queen's Gambit, @hats is Beth Harmon AICMFP...

There is so much tosh on the tellybox these days, but I have enjoyed these series on the BBC iPlayer;

Best TV Episodes of 2020 according to the NYT

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/17/arts/television/best-tv-episodes.html

People keep saying this and I'm immensely flattered although I can't see it!

It's all true, @hats! 💅🥰

Great to see Dave get two shout outs. Definitely my stand out TV of the year.

Starzplay (if you have prime) is 99p a month for 3 months atm (one click to cancel renew) and has a few decent series on it - certainly £2.97 worth!

I thought the same, it's because you both have eyes.

yeah i can't unsee it now. never seen the two of you in the same room together either...

Bit awks you've been shitting all over @hats hard work now.

Alice in Borderlands

Got half a dozen episodes in last night. Really enjoying it and its Tokyo backdrops.

yeah that show was diabolical.

wtf @hats? what the hell are you playing at?

Best Xmas TV for me was worzel. Frivolous but earnest and simple story telling.

Very late to The Mandalorian, But binge watched it over the last couple of days - Fantastic fun.

Don't blame me, I'm just a pawn!

Same here, pleasantly surprised

I thought it was great. Just enough Star Wars orthodoxy to keep long-term fans happy but not so much that it put casual watchers off. Making Grogu look like the rubber rather than cgi yoda was a smart choice.

The Charlie Brooker 2020 thing on Netflix. Wow. The very definition of funny for five minutes.

bingeing the arse out of Vikings on the Primez. surprisingly watchable even if it is a bit silly and probably about as historically accurate as Disney's Aladdin.

featuring a surprising amount of people with actual vikingy sounding names.

I pine for the days when Ragnar Lothbrok was still in my life, he'll forever remain in my heart.
