I don't know what they are smoking over at Netflix, but these people feel whatever it is, it's too much

https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2018/mar/20/netflix-criticised-for-too-many-smoking-scenes

 

"Netflix has been singled out for criticism by an anti-smoking organisation, which released research that claims the streaming giant’s original programmes have more than twice as many scenes featuring smoking as its rivals. Truth Initiative, a US public health organisation, identified the 14 most popular shows with viewers aged 15-24 across broadcast and cable providers. It found Netflix shows featured a total of 319 “tobacco incidents” (a definition that covers implied use of a tobacco product), with Stranger Things top of the list for 182 scenes featuring cigarettes."

So someone smoking is now referred to as a 'Tobacco incident?

[VladimirIlyich]

I do agree that tv shows are doing their best to make smoking cool again. The amount of characters smoking is ridiculous and I believe they have grounds for criticism.

No one's cooler at smoking that Kieffer Sutherland in Stand By Me.

[SasaS]

I'm OK with smoking, if it's not gratuitous, I would like to see a pressure group demanding less urinating on TV.

Nah, Chris Chambers > Ace Merrill

[Anny Road]

Clint could smoke one of those stupid box type e-cigs things and still look cool as fuck.

Nah, Chris Chambers > Ace Merrill

I agree about the characters but Ace is definitely cooler.

[Captain Turdseye]

E-cigs are boss. I smoke one and I do look cool as fuck. I just took a selfie to illustrate the point.

Johnny Sak certainly knew his way around a bifter.

[VladimirIlyich]

Those vaping things remind me of when you used to disassemble your bic pen at school and blow spit-paper balls at teachers and classmates. You are also still smoking so why not carry on with the ciggies or just quit altogether?

Legion.

 

When is a superhero TV show not a superhero TV show? When it's a show about mental health, support and friendship, wrapped up in a Twin Peaks-esque bow of weirdness (until the last episode anyway). Superb.

 

9/10.

Plebs 9/10

 

Watched the first season on Tuesday. That Grumio is just brilliant.

Any new shows worth watching?

Any new shows worth watching?

Ash vs Evil Dead and Mr Pickles both currently showing their 3rd series, both excellent.

Billions series 3 starts on Sunday night.

[RedKnight]

Ash vs Evil Dead is terrific fun but I can imagine it would leave people who haven't seen the movies, or don't like the humour, cold.

[Elite]

Not a fan of any of those mate.

Has anyone watched The Assassination Of Gianni Versace? I Liked the OJ series.

I've watched it on BBC - ie, the first few episodes. It's really good IMO.

Aquarius season 2 6.5 to 7/10.

This series is ok but nothing special. The actor who plays Charles Manson was apparently in Game of Thrones and he does get on ones tits to be honest. David Duchovny is just sailing through this without much effort and there are obviously a couple of stunning actresses in it,but its all a bit meh.

I didn’t realise Atlanta had started again. Three episodes of series 2 have aired already. I’ll be all over that this weekend.

I'll probably wait to watch the whole series when it ends. Great little show this one.

It's taken it up a notch this season. Really enjoying it.

This Morning with Richard not Judy

 

I’ve starting listening to the Richard Herring podcast (props to whoever recommended it on the podcast thread, it’s fucking ace) and so decided last night to watch Lee and herring videos on YouTube, including one which had 3 episodes of the above lumped together in one video.

 

Outstanding. Truly outstanding.

[Anny Road]

South Park Tourettes episode. Brilliant.

9/10
