I think she's just fat, she's never been the slimmest to be fair and age does generally increase the waist line, decrease the motivation to give a fuck.

Has she not suffered with bulimia ?

I'm halfway through S2 of Ozark. 

 

Ruth Langmore is a fantastic character.

You cant beat a bit of white trash trailer park attitude.

Friends was shite apart from those Joey and Chandler characters. Overhyped US garbage for the most part.

 

Swap "including" in for "apart from" and a full stop for "for the most part".

 

I don't understanding why you've given it wriggle room.  It's the most offensive garbage ever (repeatedly) served up to a gormless audience.

 

*pause*

 

(raises eyebrow) Well dur.

 

*huge burst of canned laughter and clapping*

 

[Numero Veinticinco]

I can’t and won’t watch anything with canned laughter anymore. I even wince at the old stuff. I used to like Only Fools but even that’s painful now. 

[SasaS]

Speaking of painful canned laughter; I am forever on the hunt for watchable traditional multi-camera sitcoms with laughter (not a particularly pleasant task as it's sadly a dying format and most of the recent stuff is horrible), newish and American (I've seen most of the old ones), so any recommendations would be appreciated. My bar is set fairly low.

The last one I discovered which was pretty good was Partners (2012) made by the Will&Grace creators, but they cancelled it after only one season, apparently they ripped off some older sitcom with that. It featured some of the sharpest writing you can still find in the format and don't let a low IMDB rating discourage you, it's at least 8, all things considered.

The Haunting of Hill House

 

This is how it’s done. That is how you pen a TV show, that’s how you act, that’s how you film, that’s how you tie everything up. It’s brilliant. I agree with Steven King when he said of this, ‘it’s close to a work of genius’. It really is, the way they loop the threads of the show into itself, they way they thread the perspectives into the story, it’s masterful at times. Son of the monologues are out of this world. It’s truly excellent. 9/10.

I thought the latest Dr Who was really good. Well acted, quite moving

Agree with this. I’m a shitbag when it comes to horror. But the storytelling has kept me hooked.

Four episodes into Haunting Of Hill House so far. Found the first episode slightly wooden in parts but Christ, what a series. Brilliant stuff. 

[Sugar Ape]

Yeah, it’s a great horror show. Don’t think people realise how rare good horror TV shows are. 

 

First two seasons of Twin Peaks and that’s about it really for me. Some shows are intermittently scary like The X-Files, certain episodes of Black Mirror or Inside No 9 maybe. Then there are decent shows based on horror like True Blood which I liked but wasn’t really scary.

 

Some of the older stuff was good back in the day like Tales of the unexpected and The twilight zone but they aren’t scary nowadays.

 

Compare The haunting of Hill house to Castle Rock which is another recent big budget horror show from a streaming giant and it’s so much better in every way.

I've got 20 minutes of the final episode to go. Thank fuck!

Just binged on the first 5 episodes tonight. Fuck me what a brilliant piece of telly so far.

Still not converted or are you relieved that the horror is ending?

Yeah, it really is excellent in every way. It’s getting almost universal praise, which is rare for horror. I wasn’t scared, I thought it was beautiful. It’s straight into my top 10.

I think the new series of doctor who is pretty crappy. I didn't see any with the last doctor, but my kids wanted to watch this series. For me it's at best a kids programme. I thought that Rosa parks show was just an episode to tell you the Rosa parks story. Dull as shit if you know. The one this weekend was even worse, with the Donald trump character.

Yeah, I can’t do Dr Who either. 

[Guest]

The best thing about Dr Who is the song from years ago. I don't think I've even watched the show since that song was released. 

 

 

Edit: I reckon the special effects on this music video are better than those on the trailers of the real show! You can even see the feet of the person inside one of the daleks and he's really making sure he's getting away from the car. Magnificent telly.

Channel Zero is currently the best horror show on TV, IMO. It's freaky.
