I watched some thing from itv called Joan. It's a show based on a true story from the 80s of some bird who was a jewell thief. I thought it started quite well (although the speed of it felt quite old fashioned), but as it went on, I kept just thinking "this story is shit". Aside from a couple of short looks at "Joan" in her underwear, I didn't understand the point in the whole thing. 5/10 and it's only that high for Joan.

Gonna get stuck into Traitors later. One huge disappointment from me though is the stunning Welsh filly from last season ended up shagging some c list celebrity and having his baby. She won’t stop selling her woe is me story to the tabloids about it all. We could have had it all.

Leanne on this season is easy on the eye.

Sophie Turner - The only thing that matters is getting my daughter back

 

Social Worker - Settle down, get a set address and find a regular job

 

Sophie Turner - I know, I'll become a jewel thief

i read she was quite involved in the making of the show, what a delusional cunt she must be.

Squid Game - though Season 2 just brought flashbacks to the Fun House in Southport in the late 70s.

Welsh girl sometimes looks hot then others a bit freaky. The sister is decent like. Armani is very very annoying but I must say what a cracking pair she’s got. That Leanne just gets hotter the more she appears on it.

Not got the chance to catch up on Traitors yet - I know they are not really spoilers but can we put them in the Traitors thread. Cheers gents

You’re defo a traitor with an attitude like that

Cunk on Britain / Earth / Life.

 

Mockumentary on the above subjects. Partially written by Charlie Booker, who I think is a unlikeable wanker, however, his angry grid isn’t in it. 
 

Diane Morgan is brilliantly deadpan. Part Ali G & part Partidge…. Kwalatee. 

[Engineman Hicks]

Squid game 2 is brilliant. A dark message about gambling culture.

I've seen the first two episodes but for others who haven't, spoiler right there!

 

It's a great format, I love watching it. The Aussie ones are good also, not watched the US version as I imagine they'd be pretty annoying.

 

I enjoy all those I've seen including the US one as the feel and setting is the same and I just find it quite funny, some characters on there. I even enjoy the Aussie one even though it's set in what appears to be a Travelodge on the outskirts of Sydney.  There's a NZ one too but I've not watched any of that yet.

Saw the first US series, it was very good if not a bit over the top and ive never liked Alan Cummings. Apart from that it's decent.

I’ve been rewatching Poirot. 9/10. I love Albert Finney in Sidney Lumet’s Murder on the Orient Express (1974), and I like Peter Ustinov’s take on the character, but David Suchet is the definitive Hercule Poirot.

All of this is correct.

 

i watched the John Malkovich one on iPlayer over Christmas. The ABC murders. I’d give that 3.5/10

Landman, after a really promising start this has started to go round in circles a bit. The same stuff seems to have been happening over and over since about episode four & some of it is becoming tedious.

 

One episode to go & the cast are great so I'm sticking with it but I suspect a second series of this would be pretty dull.

[Scott_M]

Finished the 2nd season of Shrinking. 
 

It’s decent stuff. It’s clearly very well written and executed, I find it a bit annoying and overly syrupy sweet at times.

I agree. Less stuff on his wife & daughter, significantly more on then army, cartel & oilers stand off please.

Never watched Squid Game. Watched the first few minutes of the very first episode. Wasn’t grabbing me.

I found it to be shite, didn't get the hype at all.

To be fair, it’s not the first few minutes that are the main grabbing entertainment… IIRC, I think that comes at the end of the first episode.
