Thanks. This Ray Mears stuff is really good, most of it is behind another paywall though.
Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?
- Thread starter Red Pavan
- Start date
Home Before Dark (Apple) is good so far; 3 more episodes to do from season 1. The young girl is great, although I am terrible at realising what good acting is.
I assume a lot of his stuff is up on YouTube too as he's been on TV in the UK for well over a decade at least. He does some good shit.
My list of these weeks:
Better Call Saul, 8.5. I devoured it in 4 days.
Star Trek Picard 7.5
Sneaky Pete ,7. Deservedly canceled after the third season.
Start up ,7.5. I also doubt it will be a fourth season.
Fear the Walking Dead, 6.I left it halfway through the fourth season. The first season is fine but then it just goes down.
ZeroZeroZero, 8. It´s about Narcos
Treadstone, about spies. I liked the pilot but quit after some episodes.
Suburra, I also quit after a couple of episodes. I think after seeing Gomorrah it seemed very bad. Perhaps otherwise I would still watching it.
I still reserve the new seasons of Altered Carbon and Ozark, so I'll start Succession now.

I've finished the first two seasons of Money Heist. Enjoyed it but cant bloody stand Tokyo. Such a useless cnut. I felt season two ended the way I would like the show to end. Is it worth watching 3 and 4?
Also, is Westworld worth continuing? I saw season 1 and liked the first and last few episodes... Didn't care for the middle.

I’m nearing a point that I’ve completed tv.
Saw the trailer of Killing Eve season 3 the other day. Good god, it looks like the silliest thing ever.
Watching Community again now it's on Netflix, it is so fecking good. Feels like there is a joke every 3 seconds.
Best sitcom ever for me. It's streets ahead.

I finished watching through Community again on Amazon Prime and it popped up on Netflix the next day. I was tempted to start over again.
I still believe Annie was the Ass Crack Bandit all along.
No love for The Office?
Yeah off course wouldn't put it in my top five though either British or US version . Same for 30Rock and Frasier which i love
Annie was the Ass Crack Bandit for sure . I'd bet your life on it
It was all to convenient for her and she's got a ruthless streak. Duncan and Britta were red herrings.
Thoughts on the new curb season?
Should have stopped after season one to be honest.
Or Annie’s Boobs.
I've only watched the first couple and quite enjoyed them. I was planning on watching the next one later. Although I wasn't super keen on them adding the political commentary, the MAGA hat was genius as was filming his date to prove he had consent and the side sit. I don't really remember much of the rest, they've been good but maybe not as memorable. Opening a coffee shop out of spite has potential.
Have you seen the full season?
I’ve seen the full season yeah. Good but not great for me. A few really good moment like the one you mention though. Also Leon is more involved than ever and is a brilliant voice of reason for Larry
I was worried you were going to tell me it gets crap. Leon is brilliant, I enjoy a good Richard Lewis interaction too. Trying to pay for lunch and crashing the funeral to do it.
Frasier should be there.
Richard Lewis is definitely one of my favourites too. The characters are great in general to be fair.I was worried you were going to tell me it gets crap. Leon is brilliant, I enjoy a good Richard Lewis interaction too. Trying to pay for lunch and crashing the funeral to do it.
Started on Mr Robot recently and into season 3 now. Season 2 got incredibly draggy and monotonous with the psychedelic and utterly bizarre parts. I almost gave up on the show. Should I continue with S3 and S4?
Survey says... yes, most definitely.
I know all four seasons are highly rated but I did not enjoy S2 at all. Felt like it lacked everything that made S1 great. The hacking and the heists were missing, instead majority of time we were going through Elliot’s mental illness and the China-USA conspiracy.
Sure hope it picks up in S3.
Same happened to me few weeks ago, and on recommendation of others here I finished it. Definitely worth staying up, season 3 and season 4 are excellent.
Stick with it. S3 and S4 are a mile ahead of S2 and up there with the best seasons of the decade, especially S4.
Watching Catastrophe on 4oD at the moment, very funny.
Anybody watching that Quiz on ITV about the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire cheat. It's surprisingly very good and tense. I say surprisingly as I thought it was going to be a humdrum ITV drama, but it's actually very well done. Michael Sheen is superb as Tarrant, and while I knew a little bit about the subject there's a lot more I didn't know. The last episode is on tonight. I definitely recommend it if anybody hasn't been watching it.
Great, isn’t it? A friend of mine is in it. He’s the Irish brother. Poor fecker is currently self-isolating in a flat in London, with zero sense of taste or smell after catching covid.
Anyhoo. Came into this thread to recommend Ozark. Nearly finished season 3. Such a good show. Has to be up there with stuff like Breaking Bad, True Detective and the Wire. In fact, I would say it does a MUCH better job at maintaining quality over the seasons than the first two on that list.
I think I'm finally going to start Ozark. I've been putting it off for some time, but I've heard nothing but great things about it. The main reason I was put off by it was because of a bias against Bateman. No that I think he's bad, but I can't help but not see him as a hapless, comedic character. I didn't know if he had the ability to pull something like this off and make it believable.
He basically plays Michael from Arrested Development only without the comedic aspects. Or .. plays himself.. in that case.. I'm not sure, but it works, somehow, and it's a great show.
In season two you won't even notice him, he is mostly just shrugging his shoulders and saying yes or no, despite playing the main character.
Other than that, it's a really good show.
Yeah, that's my problem with Bateman I suppose. Not that he's bad, but he basically just plays a slightly different version of himself. As long as it doesn't detract from the show. Which it sounds like it doesn't.
How far along are you? I finished watching all 6 seasons last night. Season 1 is pretty run of the mill stuff, a pretty bland sitcom with some nice moments. Seasons 2 and 3 was when they fully embraced their weirdness and meta-ness and where it worked, with some true classics along the way. The ass crack bandit episode mentioned above being one of the best. It remains ok in season 4 but a notch below, and then gets really bad in seasons 5 and 6, I was struggling to finish. Had the usual pinch when I watched the last one last night, as is customary at the end of any show, but I was glad it was over.
Alison Brie said in an interview recently that they'd be doing a film (which would be a nice way to cap off the 6 seasons and a movie shit), but I really hope it's a level above the last couple of seasons. And I wonder if they'll get Donald Glover to star in it - his and Dany Pudi's chemistry was one of the most endearing qualities of the show, for me.
He's an actor with very little range, but I feel his subdued performance in Ozark works well in contrast with the array of almost caricutural characters that populate the show.
Mid-way through season 2. I remember seasons 1, 2 & 3 being some of the best TV comedy I've seen and it holds up. I also find the nice moments actually nice and not too saccharine like other American shows. Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas is so bittersweet.
Yeah, the show lost a huge amount of charm when Troy left. I still mostly enjoyed season 5 but I've never actually watched season 6 yet.
Never seen Community but I'll check it out now that its on Netflix.
Bosch is in with a new season today on Prime, if you’re needing a crime drama fix.
