( . Y . ) planned for Christmas
Whoever recommended Servant on here - thank you. Deep into S1 and it's very good
Hadn't seen it mentioned before but looks up my alley. Added to the watch list!I just finished watching season 1 of The Tourist and I'm on Season 2 already. What a show. A must watch.
I’ve seen many people say this. Fair play, but I reckon that show is breathtakingly shite. It’s tonally confused, with a nonsensical plot and dialogue that is often incongruous with the rest of the shiteI just finished watching season 1 of The Tourist and I'm on Season 2 already.

This is what makes it good! I don't think you're supposed to take it seriously. I also love that the leading lady isn't you regular skinny you know what.I’ve seen many people say this.

Midway through S3. The Nidgemeister General.Watch Love/Hate if you can find it. Cracking telly
Haha yeah, I suppose I enjoy dramas more than these sorts of comedy drama mishmash types. But it’s baffled me seeing all the glowing reviews for a show I genuinely found farcical. Ah well, grumpy bastard I amThis is what makes it good! I don't think you're supposed to take it seriously. I also love that the leading lady isn't you regular skinny you know what.
Well said, I think it started as some mystery thriller and turned into a tongue-in-cheek type of crime drama. Could have been a good series if they kept the original tone and mystery going on. Instead they resorted to some really goofy storylines.Haha yeah, I suppose I enjoy dramas more than these sorts of comedy drama mishmash types.

Loved the Australian one! I didn’t like the US one though. Felt a lot more exploitative.Just finished two seasons of “Love on the Spectrum” (Netflix) A reality show following people on the autistic spectrum looking for love. Very light but warm, funny and feel good. A nice antidote to what’s going on in he world right now. Would recommend.
Huh. Interesting. I’ve only watched the US one. And it definitely treads a line between laughing at them and with them. Although I think it generally stays the right side of that line? I was watching it with my kids, who have an autistic cousin. And I think, on balance, helped them understand him a bit better by the end of the season. Even though there was a lot of slightly guilty laughterLoved the Australian one! I didn’t like the US one though. Felt a lot more exploitative.
also the narrator in the Aus one is the main female character from Mr. inbetween, randomly.
The Aussie one is the original and also on Netflix and miles better imo.Huh. Interesting. I’ve only watched the US one. And it definitely treads a line between laughing at them and with them.

It’s an excellent series, gets better as well.Whoever recommended Servant on here - thank you. Deep into S1 and it's very good
The Patient on Disney+ was okay-ish. Steve Carrell did a good job. Some silly storylines almost made me quit halfway thru but it got a bit better towards the end.
I was probably on the same camp as you after 10 minutes or so. Maybe a few episodes into it. Its worth persevering though.Quit The Bear after 10 minutes, how annoying can a series be? Quick edits, shouting and not a single normal character on the show. Everybody on speed communicating with witty punchlines? Like, every single fecking character.
Too bad, I had heard so much good about it but it was absolutely not my cup of tea.
Are the jokes better than the diarrhoea one they used in the TV ads for it? Godawful.Never watched the Ted movie but I'm watching the series. It's fecking funny.
Reviews are excellent so far too! Can't wait.I'm looking forward to this Shogun miniseries coming soon. Trailers look good.
I persevered through season 1, waiting for when it gets good. I still don't get the hype and have no desire to watch season 2. Everything I'd read and heard about it sounded like something I'd like, but it's hard to carry on with a show when I dislike every character in it (except for the bitpart character played by Matty Matheson, but he's barely in it).Quit The Bear after 10 minutes, how annoying can a series be?

Nidge weasel!!Midway through S3. The Nidgemeister General.
Couldn't agree more. A series built fundamentally around stress, frustration and shouting? Not really what I want to build my evening around.Quit The Bear after 10 minutes, how annoying can a series be? Quick edits, shouting and not a single normal character on the show.

Very polarizing show, it's maybe the best series for me in the last couple of years.Couldn't agree more. A series built fundamentally around stress, frustration and shouting? Not really what I want to build my evening around.
Apple TV is easily the best streaming service going & it’s not a particularly close race. Welcome to the club.Only recently subscribed to Apple TV, with Severance and Slow Horses our first choices. Would totally recommend both of them.
Severance is slow but genuinely mid-boggling, can't wait for the second season.
Slow Horses is a deft combination of fast-paced mystery in the Sherlock mold, and some really great characters. Well, mainly Jackson Lamb - flatulent, unwashed, anti-social, foul-mouthed, bloody-minded, misanthropic, brilliant intelligence chief who nevertheless will literally go over dead bodies to protect (or more usually, avenge) his subordinates.
We went with Tehran after those first two, but these are all on the list!Apple TV is easily the best streaming service going & it’s not a particularly close race. Welcome to the club.
Check out Black Bird, For All Mankind, & Five Days at Memorial (this is my favorite Apple TV show but only by a small margin).
It's an ok series, a tad bit overrated but I did end up watching both seasons. The episodes are fairly short so you can get through them quickly and season 2 is much better than season 1.Quit The Bear after 10 minutes, how annoying can a series be?

Totally forgot about Tehran, good show.We went with Tehran after those first two, but these are all on the list!
It's 95% Ted of course but the kid is good. Odd to say he has chemistry with a CGI teddy bear but he does! Their little fantasy scenarios are very funny.Ted's naff but bizarrely watchable. It's the talking teddy, innit? Surely?

I do my screaming on the inside, me. Well, it beats gardening.Already got enough of that in the bedroom, amirite?
