Television, drug of the nation

I watched 100 episodes of Fringe, my brain is mush.

This series is pretty much the only reason I extended my Apple+ TV contract by a month. Really enjoying it.

You can turn the dubbing off

Finally watched Citadel.
Started OK, fell off towards the end.
the "selling point" of Series 2 coming nearly made me not bother.

re watching the mighty boosh
classic surreal comedy with some great incidental music

Anyone else seen Jury Duty?

Just watched a couple of episodes. It’s great, but I’m full of questions about how they actually pulled it off!

Where are you watching? Pretty annoying you can't watch the BBC's massive back catalogue of shows on iPlayer.

It's on iPlayer

Cool, good to know!

Fancied watching some Catterick or Alan Partridge the other day, but you have to buy episodes/subscription through another service. Didn't I pay for these when they were broadcast?...

It's brilliant. Love the radio series too

The set for the Nabootique exterior in series 3 only went up to the top of the first floor. The rest was made by me using a computer.

Obviously cutting edge stuff in 2007.

cool, did you get to meet any of the stars and have some wild nights out with them ?
i remember seeing julian barratt exiting soho onto tottenham court road back when this was first being aired and i told him i loved his work. then rode off

here is a link to a website a friend sent me.

i'm obviously watching the dvd of the mighty boosh bought at a charity shop.

i'll have to try and track down the bbc radio episodes of TMB were they just the same episodes as the tv series or were they different

Radio series shows were mostly recreated for the first TV series

Nice!

The people who use computers never get to meet anyone.

Nor should they.

Have you got a link? Maybe (more than likely) I'm being dim, but I can't find it!

Platonic on Apple TV, not hilarious or refreshing, actually really grating.

Getting into Severance though, Zach Cherry stands out among some well known faces.

Platonic on Apple TV

I'm actually really enjoying it. Full of tropes and nothing special but it's largely joyful and I Rose Byrne / Seth Rogen have great chemistry.

I read about a Netflix series, it is a slow burn about how a girl tries to find love through her cooking, that’s all i remember. That and it’s an Asian production.
googling doesn’t come up with what i remember.
Anyone know what i’m looking for or have I confused it with something else?

Oh and the Drops of God (Apple TV) was a good watch

Not sure, but you reminded me of Mystic Popup Bar from a few years ago that was both silly and very entertaining. (Korean, food popup)

This one?

Bingo! thanks, was probably the guardian website i read about it.

New Black Mirrors have arrived.

Can confirm. Really enjoying it so far.
