Television, drug of the nation

Best thing I've seen in ages. Season 2 can't come quickly enough

Second season was just confirmed yesterday.

I mean it has always been a comedy primarily

Would agree it's primarily a comedy.. well it's quite a weird, eccentric - and very well done - unique thing, in my opinion 🙂
Also that role is perfect for Jodie Comer.

I'm curious what Phoebe Waller-Bridge will do next.

Probably late to the party but

Lorena the light footed woman on Netflix is 28 mins of mellow joy

It ended too soon, torture.

The newish Ali series on iPlayer is epic

Tokyo Vice
HBO series. True story from the book by Jake Adelstein.
Excellent. Dark, atmospheric and set in Tokyo. What's not to like.

Our Flag Means Death is most excellent fuckery

Enjoying MoonKnight on Disney
Yeah it’s marvel, but really good performances from Oscar Isaac & Ethan Hawke carry the silliness

Inside Number 9.

After the steady decline over recent series, the latest series hasn't got off to a good start imo. The formula is so stale now that even the ending wasn't a surprise.

Such a shame as the early ones were so good.

I thought this one was the worst episode so far. it didnt even really feel like a proper story.

Some decent tv about at the moment though:

Atlanta's latest series is just as good as before
Slow Horses has been pretty excellent so far
Winning Time is absurd but also entertaining (and I hate the Lakers)
First two episodes of Outer Range are intriguing enough to keep watching
Killing it was entertaining enough with it's ridiculous premise not wet your pants funny but didnt hate it.

starting to go off moon knight, was excitedly waiting for it to get rolling but we're 4 episodes in and they're still building up the main storyline and it feels lacking in something plus 3 episodes of "omg I can't believe I'm talking to a voice in my head" was way too drawn out. just give us the gist and get on with the plot.

starting to go off moon knight

I'm only two in, just rewatched part of one because we decided it wasn't too grown up for my daughter so waiting for her to catch up.

A film has gone up on Netflix about the Tour of Faso. It's a great watch but the main German rider comes across as a massive arse.

this sounds interesting, set in Brum of course.. hopefully as successful as Peaky Blinders..

Killing It was as titled

Started watching Hellbound. Not an easy watch - it's like a prequel to Handmaid's Tale, some aspects of The Purge, except it's Qanon taking over.

Undone -mind boggling amazing time travel story
Quick 20 minutes 8 episodes 2 season series done in Scanner Darkly animated style
Better call Saul and Alita Battle Angel in it

Archive 81 on Netflix. I actually chose it because I knew it was cancelled after the first season and while that used to be a turn-off, these days I think "Great, I know this isn't going to eat up untold hours of my life". Now I'm annoyed it was cancelled because it's very, very good. Amazing storytelling. Well, I can always to listen to the podcast it was adapted from.

The end of the first (and only) season works well enough as a horror story ending, with most of the questions of that story arc answered, so it's not a waste of time to watch.

Keeping in the theme of cancelled shows on Netflix; quite enjoying Berlin Station. Tense enough to keep it interesting, silly enough to not be depressing.

Excellent news https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/news/6853/new-detectorists-special/

Shows that should be cancelled on Netflix: The Pentaverate.

So very, very not good.

I watched 2, I remember liking Austin powers but I'm in no rush to watch more.

TBF there are a few well crafted nob jokes or whatever in there but that's not a TV show, maybe I'm old now, maybe Mike Myers is a one trick pony.

not sure I can enjoy it anymore after some bellend has destroyed our local park with his little beepy stick by digging up divots every few feet and killed the grass on top of every single one of them so the whole park looks like it's best mates with SuperTed.
