Gave up on Pam and Tommy halfway through second episode. They’re just not interesting people (as portrayed). Tommy’s talking cock was a low point.
You do know it's a parody, right?Do not go anywhere near ‘The woman in the house across the house across the street from the girl in the window’
It’s another Netflix grift designed to get you watching for six 50 minute slots. They do not care if you like things. They just want you watching.
It’s Fcuking abysmal. Hands down one of the worst tv series ever. It has zero redeeming qualities. Avoid.
A parody doesn't mean something has to be absolutely fecking gash though.You do know it's a parody, right?
It's kind of the point, though. I thought some parts were hilarious.A parody doesn't mean something has to be absolutely fecking gash though.
Homeland is very popular but i gave up after a season i think. Ridiculous things happening that defy belief.Finished S2 of The Witcher. Not bad. Interesting to see how S3 goes
Anyone watched Maid, which is a limited series or Homeland which is about 8 seasons? Tempted to give both a watch once I’ve finished part 1 of the final season of Ozark
Homeland started out great but became awful so stopped watching after a few seasons.Finished S2 of The Witcher. Not bad. Interesting to see how S3 goes

It was a weird one that fluctuated a bit.Homeland started out great but became awful so stopped watching after a few seasons.
Maid was brilliant; short, so maybe start with that.Finished S2 of The Witcher. Not bad. Interesting to see how S3 goes

Of course. It doesn’t work as parody though. It’s really poor.You do know it's a parody, right?
Homeland was one of my all time favorites. I loved every season and didn't it to end.Finished S2 of The Witcher. Not bad. Interesting to see how S3 goes

Watch Homeland, great show & rather prescient, especially the last few seasons.Finished S2 of The Witcher. Not bad. Interesting to see how S3 goes

Yea i thought it was ridiculous how they were conditioned. The man gave him 400k which would be close to a million in todays money.I watched The Puppetmaster on Netflix over the past few days. Anyone here seen it? It's ridiculous.
Not sure whether to feel bad about saying this, but I found it very difficult to have much sympathy for the victims in it. It was just so bloody absurd, I just couldn't help but think "how the feck did you believe this for YEARS" It's either Netflix didn't do a good job at explaining everything, or I'm just missing something here, but it was so ridiculous I wasn't buying it.
I felt for the families who were left behind. But the others? I found it very difficult.
And that mother.Yea i thought it was ridiculous how they were conditioned. The man gave him 400k which would be close to a million in todays money.
I guess there are just some really dumb vunerable people out there.
Yeah watched it this week, couldn't believe how gullible and easy they went along with it...for that long. I can understand initially, but that was crazy.I watched The Puppetmaster on Netflix over the past few days. Anyone here seen it? It's ridiculous.

I looked at the episode lenght initially and thought it seemed too long some episodes. Then the reviews were bad, so i will give it a pass.I watched Inventing Anna because it was recommended as a quasi-companion peice to The Tinder Swindler (fine but unexceptional) and Puppetmaster (better, but frustrating/unsatisfactory) and got 1 and a half episodes in before realising almost 2 hours had gone by and I didn’t care about any of these cnuts or any of their shit…
The freedom of making something for streaming can work well when a show does shorter or longer than usual episodes depending on what they have to say/what is needed for that particular story…but a basic show about boring high society NYers where every episode clocks in at over an hour is just a massive failure of production and editing…. It’s literally just no one having the balls to stand up to Shonda Rimes and say “look, you should actually cut all this crap out…”
And that’s before you get into the unnecessary framing device of telling the story through the eyes of a boring, unlikeable journalist whose pissy that her career hasn’t peaked yet…
Bleugh… would rather have watched a doc on it.

Just revisiting this quote now the series has ended. I really enjoyed this, thought it picked up A LOT during the middle episodes. Still not quite as good as Arcane, but closer than I thought it would be.Enjoyable enough.Not as good as Arcane, but not much this year has been imo.
Adore this show, one of my favourites ever.Im not much of a horror fan but really enjoyed Midnight Mass, from the guy who did The Haunting of Hill House
one scene in particular is absolutely terrifying
All those Harlan Coben adaptions are pretty decent. The Innocent was brilliant too. The pick of the lot IMO.Just finished watching The Stranger on Netflix and really enjoyed it. Would recommend it to anyone who likes thrillers.
It's a great show. Just finishing season 3 so looking forward to this. It is a bit slow, but the characterization is brilliant. And at times is absolutely hilarious. Bateman killed his role and Linney is also perfect.New episodes of Ozark are on Netflix if no one has already mentioned it.
Nice I will try and watch that next. I watched Safe a while back and that was also quite enjoyable.All those Harlan Coben adaptions are pretty decent. The Innocent was brilliant too. The pick of the lot IMO.
I actually watched the entire season because I found it interesting, but I'd agree with what you say - there's some massive problems in editing and it feels like the overall thing could've been 2h shorter and it wouldn't have changed much. I also absolutely hate the style of the show, with all the soulless pop and flashy editing and fast forwards, it feels like it could've been done 15 years ago. I also struggle to understand how Anna Chlumsky has made a career out of her one-range acting, but good for her.I watched Inventing Anna because it was recommended as a quasi-companion peice to The Tinder Swindler (fine but unexceptional) and Puppetmaster (better but frustrating/unsatisfactory) and got 1 and a half episodes in before realising almost 2 hours had gone by and I didn’t care about any of these cnuts or any of their shit…

Early seasons of Homeland are exceptional. The later seasons lost their way a little be it got good again at the end.Thought Maid was good.
Maid is a great show. It really captured a part of the American experience in a way that you hardly see on scripted tv. I absolutely loved it. Homeland is one of my favorite shows. Have you seen the Americans? It's a show about the cold war and focuses on two Russian spies pretending to be a happily married suburban American coupleFinished S2 of The Witcher. Not bad.

Cheers, going to give both Maid & Homeland a watch once I’ve got through Ozark & Hawkeye.Maid is a great show.

My list is crazy too! There's so much goodness being produced, it's a golden era. I'm really looking forward to LORT and Kenobi as well. Between Netflix, Disney plus, Amazon prime and HBO Max there's just too much content to keep up with haha. Cheers mateCheers, going to give both Maid & Homeland a watch once I’ve got through Ozark & Hawkeye.
I’ve not seen the Americans but have heard good things about it. My watchlist is pretty stacked just now and with the LOTR & Kenobi series about to start along with the new season of Top Boy & The Boys, it’s going to get even bigger![]()
