I've downloaded series 1 of Shrinking but people's plot summaries make it sound like I've seen it before. I will report back.

[YorkshireRed]

Watched the first one of Shrinking the other day.  
 

I quite enjoyed it but for some reason it turned the wife into Nigel Farage and she went off on one bemoaning the fact that a violent offender was receiving therapy and not his victim. She conveniently ignored his back story and the fact that victims often are offered therapy. 
 

On the plus side, I fancied his neighbour, his dead wife, his female colleague (not Harrison Ford), and possibly his daughter (although I’ll need to check her age).
 

The wife also acknowledged that she likes the guy from the muppets so we can watch episode two.

You fancied his dead wife????

Definitely. Before she was dead though. I’m not Jimmy Saville.

She's 23, so no need to worry.

Saville liked them a bit younger than that. 

[Section_31]

Guy Martin Arctic Warrior on 4od.

 

Goes to train with the marines in Norway. Shows you how they train snipers and learn to deal with the cold.

 

Lot of stuff about how Russia are getting more cunty in that neck of the woods.

 

Numbers not withstanding, our lads would absolutely maul the Russians in a proper ground scrap, no doubt about it.

 

9/10.

[Arniepie]

Until I kill you

One of those based on real life stories where the incompetence of the British judicial system is barely believable.

Anna maxwell martin is great in it

7/10

[Anubis]

Dune: Prophecy - 8/10. Enjoyed this, both the politicking and the flashback reveals. Nicely set up for S2.

[Section_31]

Territory, 9/10.

 

I've never seen Yellowstone but this is supposedly like an Australian version of it. About a massive cattle station that's going under and everyone around it wants a slice.

 

The scenery and cinematography are just stunning.

Comedy-drama about a grieving psychiatrist that goes rogue with his methods of helping his patients. Very wholesome, in the Ted Lasso mould.

Psychiatry? That's just a racket for the jews

Get in. Only 6 episodes though? 

[Binomial]

The Day of the Jackal is one of the best shows I’ve seen in years.

 

Has a little something for everyone. Action, drama, espionage, thriller, mystery, (fake) romance. Something anyone can easily dig their teeth into.
 

A very conflicted individual, a heartless bastard but also at times shown to be compassionate and merciful. Either way you buy into everything the character does, for better or worse. Can’t wait to see Redmayne back for this next year.

I had seen a few episodes of Shrinking,as I first thought,but got bored of it last time and did again. I didnt care for any of the characters at all. And that woman who played Jordan in Scrubs needs to see a therapist herself to stop her having terrible botox and plastic surgery procedures.

Wallace and Gromit. 2/3 of the main characters don’t have a single line of dialogue in an hour long story. Unparalleled.

Gromit's little double-take when Wallace presents him with the gnome and tells him it's voice-activated.

 

Genius.

Amazon seem to have cornered the market with shite documentaries,especially historical ones.

Started watching 1 on stalin.

Within 5 mins they had recycled the same footage about 12 times.

They also revealed such bombshells that he was a bit cunning  

Lasted 15 mins

2/10

 

Tried one on the korea war.From the start the bias was obviously as the north Koreans were all described as communists.Whilst this may be factually true,there was no explanation as to why the north Koreans were all communists and the south Koreans were capitalists.

I turned it off when the allied forces who intervened were described as heroes

Good shout this. Loads advertised that look interesting, stick one on and it’s some shite narrator basically throwing together loads of already well known facts. Netflix does the real life stuff far better. 
 

Amazon prime does my head in even trying to find a film. Great footy coverage and stuff and that’s are some boss films but it’s a twat to even navigate. Fuck you Bezos you little sandal shagging walnut 

[skend04]

What We Do in the Shadows ended perfectly. We even had Jackie Daytona, from Tucson Arizoniaaaa make an appearance in the finale. Brilliant.

It's not just Amazon using those lazy labels either. Countries such as diverse as say Cuba and Germany being described as Socialists. Again with no context and lazy statements.

[SasaS]

The Patient, with Steve Carell and Gleeson's boy, by the duo who created The Americans.

 

8.5 / 10. I'd give it a 9 (only God gives 10s) but it isn't an easy watch and requires a patient viewer (see what I did here?) so it fails a bit on the entertainment front, which isn't unimportant.  

 

In all other aspects (writing, directing, stupendously good acting) it is very, very good, by the current lowered bar TV standards, I'd be almost calling it brilliant. It helps that I stumbled upon it by accident and it seems to be somewhat overlooked and underrated (after watching it, 7.0 on IMDB feels like an insult and proves we live our lives surrounded by idiots).

 

For me, probably the best TV I've seen since Succession.

Look I’m just gonna say it. I can take the abuse. That Gavin & Stacey episode on Xmas day was brilliant. I can’t stand Corden one bit but Pam & Mick, Rob. Brydon and Dawn & Pete are great. I was dreading it. I ended up loving it.

I'm not angry, just disappointed.
