In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Has anyone watched The Night Agent? Is it any good?
Watching this myself, these people are insane the woman in yellow trying to defend sex with minors because they were of age
It seemed as though the survivors were fully & unrepentantly still squarely in the ****'s grasp. No qualms about their past.Watching this myself, these people are insane the woman in yellow trying to defend sex with minors because they were of age
The one with Loki? The night Manager?
Fleishman Is In Trouble was excellent - I recommend.
I loved it. Can’t wait for the new series.
I did both series in 2 days, brillant TV ,Gary Oldman was pick of the lot for me.
Watched Super Pumped and WeCrashed recently while on sick leave - the overall reviews weren’t great and as someone that didn’t know the background of these insane CEOs, I found the two to be a good watch. WeCrashed was a lot better imo - mainly due to Jared Leto being amazing.
Going to start the Dropout after this, but that’s with me not knowing a single thing about Theranos before.

It’s pretty good, similar in quality to the other two.
Cheers! Looking forward to it
Has anyone watched the new Kiefer Sutherland show "Rabbit Hole?
Think the first two episodes dropped this week? I have planned to watch them this afternoon.
Watched the Waco documentary on Netflix. Quite interesting but the sniper struck me as full of shit.
Yep, he did lay it on rather thick. But, that was the prevailing mindset of the HRT side of FBI, completely gung-ho.
Watching season 2 of Ottoman Empire on Netflix. Great docudrama.
The Old Man - Jeff Bridges playing an ex CIA man still wanted by authorities for something that went sideways a long time ago, from the 1st episode he has been on the run a while, the 1st episode is very good
On Disney +

Good overall series. Sets itself up for future seasons.
I binged both seasons over one weekend. Really loved it but honestly for me any kind of docuseries produced like that will have me hooked. I watched Age of Samurai a year or two ago and it was just as good.
Just finished the Night Agent. Was decent. Nice fast paced action series.
Havent seen that one. Is that on Netflix? I’m a big fan of similar things as well.
Fleishman is in trouble is excellent, so well written.. even Jesse Eisenberg didn't stop me from enjoying it
It was when I watched it. It’s really good. You’ll love it.
Saw the first episode and I'm hooked. Just wish I could binge the whole thing now.
Yeah, it is like 24 but with some dry humor added in.
The first two episodes hooked me in as well.
Another fine television movie, I think it looks great.
The wizard of lies ( 2017)
Anyone watching SKY ROJO (Netflix)? I've watched seasons 1 and 2, about to start on 3, but I'm on the fence. There are only 8 episodes per season, so it's not a huge commitment, but even so, I find myself fast-forwarding over the many musical montages.
Story: 3 prostitutes try to escape from their creepy pimp.
It's shot and directed well, a stylized, high action, high violence, lurid palette. Good actors, good villains. Occasional nudity, lots of sex talk. Gives a fairly dispiriting look at brothels, in case any of you were big fans.
I think for this show to really work for you, you should watch 1 episode per week, no more. So that you forget some of the details of the previous episode. If you binge them, like I did, you'll wonder why a character can get shot in the stomach in one episode, then in the next episode (set a couple hours later) that same character has a bubble bath and now they are dancing around without a care in the world. The bad decisions (or bold decisions) the characters make will probably seem better too if you space them out a week.
Right now I can't tell if I like it or not. It joins about 10 others series I've watched some episodes of, but can't be arsed to finish (Better Than Us, The Peripheral, Messiah, Omniscient, Bojack Horseman, A Girl And An Astronaut, In From The Cold, Sense 8, Money Heist, Black Spot, Tribes Of Europa, Hot Skull, et al.). I just don't feel compelled to find out what happens in any of them. They are fine for a bit, but I'd rather watch something else and see if I can't wait to find out the ending (Dark, Archive 81).

Any fans of Yellowjackets around here? It's starting its second season and I find it highly enjoyable. Despite having all the elements that could make it a total trainwreck, it balances them very well never relying too much on one. It is equal parts mistery, silly high school drama, grim housewives drama, horror, gore, dark comedy and homages a lot of classics plus the 90s culture as a whole.
Melanie Lynskey and Cristina Ricci are as good as always (Ricci's character is so hilariously dark that it wouldn't look out of place in a Marvel/DC movie). Watch out for Sophie Thatcher (Prospect) as she is gonna have a great career.

I’m very late to the party, but the show which has replaced the now finished COBRA KAI as my light, go-to after a crap day series, is CALL MY AGENT (DIX POUR CENT). Great seeing some cinematic legends sending themselves up alongside the terrific regular cast.

Good solid start to the second season. I had kind of expected it to not be very good this season but the initial signs are positive.
Too many fecking subscription services for all these shows.
It’s not getting enough love is it? Excellent show
Just finished season 2 The Bad Batch. Wow what an ending. Was never expecting it to end like that. Cannot wait for season 3.
I watched the whole thing. It’s entertaining as far as spy shows go but a definite copy of Condor which is better but an easy watch.
