I’ve got 16 pages to catch up on at some point but I need to put this in here now…

 

I’ve just watched the 2 seasons of Top Boy on Netflix in 2 weeks and I am completely blown away. That is as good as TV gets.

Yellowjackets. 

 

Sky.

 

Pretty good. Pretty odd. Pretty girls.

 

7/10.

 

 

[Evelyn Tentions]

Just watched episode 4 of Slow Horses (Apple TV), really impressed. Sticks very closely to the Mick Herron novel. When they first started filming an eon ago I wasn't sure I could see Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb but he, and the rest of the cast, are excellent. My only complaint is having to wait a week between episodes. Lots of tension but most of Herrons humour shines through.

9/10.

I've never heard of the books but that looks quite interesting. Almost like a bit of a Peculiar Crimes Unit vibe, but without the more supernatural/weirdness and old world feel of the Bryant and May books?

Started watching Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Thought the first season was very hit and miss and didn’t really understand all the fuss about it. Then Danny DeVito joined the cast and it went up 100%.   Up to season 6, episode 7.

I struggled with the first season when I attempted it originally, then eventually watched it from season 2 onwards. 

 

I found that going back for a rewatch after getting used to the characters that season 1 wasn't all that bad. But on it's own as a first taste it's pretty poor.

 

Overall I think it's past it's peak but it still has it moments

 

It got better season by season from season 2 on and off the top of my head I think around season 8 to season 11 it really peaked.

 

[Numero Veinticinco]

Yep, I thought that @Sugar Ape had finally made a mistake recommending me Sunny. I hated the first season, I just didn't get it. But nope, he was annoyingly right, season 2 kicked in and from there I just thought it was amazing. Some stuff is so laugh out loud hilarious that I end up getting lost in youtube clips of it sometimes.

I kind of like it in a "what the fuck is going on here" way, but I'm 5 episodes along and I haven't managed to complete one without falling asleep. It is very slow and 5 episodes in I'm thinking can we just get to the fucking point of it all. 

Yeah, I thought that too, although I fucked Westworld off at the end of season 1 - massive style over substance TV. 

It's funny how your mind plays tricks with you. In my head he died in the 90s and all this came out shortly after, I was shocked to see just how recent it all was.

 

The point you make about everyone must have known, Saville kind of makes himself when he says you get to a certain place in society and you get a freedom from the rules that doesn't apply to anyone else - this is the thing, he realised they're all at it, maybe not all kiddie fiddling, but up to no good and think they're above the law - while he was playing with under aged girls, SYP were helping cover up Hillsborough, just because they could.

 

We've seen it just in the government corruption and No. 10 parties through lockdown and with the whole prince Andrew thing. In all these cases it's not just they've done what they've done, but it's the "well I don't need to abide by the rules" attitude. The sad thing is we have a country full of modern day serfs who are just happy to doff their caps and let their betters do as they wish. The public is as much to blame here because they really don't want to have to hold these high profile people to account, so they continue to behave as they do as they believe they're completely unaccountable. 

I'm glad somebody understood the Westworld vibe that I think Severance has.

I'm really enjoying this and going to watch the latest episode of this and Snowfall tonight

[Carvalho Diablo]

Just finished Snowfall season 5 and it was fantastic, beginning to end.

 

Top notch acting and writing and a definite paradigm shift which should really freshen up future seasons.

 

Expecting a bloodbath next year and I can't wait.

Need to watch it myself. Class show 

[Alan Sex]

Really enjoying Slow Horses. Not read the books, but some of the characters are great. 
 

Oldman is wonderfully decrepit. 

[Captain Howdy]

Been searching for something to watch and came across something called Deception on the alibi channel. Don’t know what it’s like yet but I thought the opening is pretty cool.

 

 

[Elite]

Started to watch Alone, the reality show about 10 survival experts and who can last the longest. It's great, some of them don't last long but I'm not surprised considering there's bears and cougars circling their makeshift tents at night time.

 

I'm only on season 1 and there's 8 seasons. I assume all different environments. Proper easy viewing and entertaining.

Yeah, I was late to this too but from Season 2, Episode 1 onwards it’s one of the few shows that have genuinely made me roll around on the couch laughing. 

[Anubis]

From S1. 7/10. Horror/potential SciFi that’s a bit of a mash up of Lost, The Village, and the village of ghouls segment of 80s horror anthology film, The Monster Club. It’s been pretty decent but has left you with far more questions than answers. Hopefully it’ll be renewed for a second series, but I think it needs to start giving a bit more about the mythology.

Outer Range. (Amazon)

 

Been waiting for this to be released and then the twats are drip feeding the episodes by only releasing the first two yesterday.

 

This starts of slow but gets more interesting as it builds up and with a good cast and Josh Brolin looking more like his dad as he gets older. I'd say this is a cross between Yellowstone with a bit of Lost/Fringe chucked in.

 

8/10 - promising so far.

[Elite]

I've gone from having nothing to watch a few months ago to being absolutely overloaded with new shows.

You are lucky. I'm just watching Snowfall now but nothing else is on the horizon.

Just watched the first 2 episodes, a reasonable start, intriguing but flawed.

 

The central mystery is very beguiling but the acting is pretty terrible.

[Bjornebye]

These weekly TOTP documentaries on BBC2 are superb. 1995 tonight. 

[Barrington Womble]

Just finished Serverance - I thought it was ok, but I don't understand the hype surrounding it. For me it was about a 6.5/10 and the ending.... well they gave us nothing did they? Not one answer, just a fucking cliffhanger (c) lost 2005 or something. I'm not sure I enjoyed it enough to bother watching season 2
