That's unfortunate. It wasn't bad.
Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

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?
Just started Succession.
Does this get better? Someone recommended it but 4 episodes in I just don’t get it.
The Tom character is a fecking idiot - I just can’t work out the appeal of the show atm.

I didn't expect to enjoy it but it was excellent.
Stick with it.
Keep on trucking. It'll win you over.
Friday Night Lights has got me invested.
if you don't like Tom just quit the show and there's probably something wrong with you
Amazing show. Second season was a bit meh, but it rebounded. One of those shows where multiple episodes can make you laugh & cry.
Amazing soundtrack as well.
On the last 3 of Ashes to Ashes watching them in 5 mins - have thoroughly enjoyed it.
The appeal is them insulting each other, fecking up and being awful. If you dont like the first 4 episodes (and tom who's about the most likable character) you wont like the rest. Its just more of the same really. Brian Cox is quite fun to watch, dont know if hes had a meaningful roll in any of the episodes you watched.
he must improve then. He’s just been hamming it up with the ridiculous hazing of gregg/Craig or whatever the young guy (distant relatives) name isHe doesn't. Embrace the ham
Just got around to watching Happy Valley (crime drama set in Yorkshire). Two seasons in and it's excellent, the first season in particular was outstanding. It's on BBC iPlayer.
Tom was an utter wanker as were all the main characters. That you hate them all and still want to watch to the end makes this exceptional tv imo.
yeah that was the entire point, they were all massive cnuts… but massively entertaining massive cnuts all the same and Tom was the like the Messi of massive cnuts on steroids
Even when any of them occasionally seemed to display a nicer side it wasn't long before they returned to being massive cnuts.
Wambsgans is just misunderstood.
I’m watching The Informer on BBC right now. It’s pretty good. But I am absolutely battered so perhaps not the best judge.
I had the same problem. Couldn’t get into it at all. Hated all of them and didn’t give a shit what happened to them. It felt pointless to keep watching a show where I didn’t care about any of the characters. Gave up at about the same point you’re at.
Blue Eyed Samurai is phenomenal, watch it. Whomever is in charge of the animated side of Netflix is killing it, the first Castlevania's were good, then Arcane and this are among the very best shows on Netflix.
Surprised The Family Man has never been mentioned.
After coming to it late, I'm now starting the final series of THE AMERICANS. Tremendous show.
I loved it. Great conclusion too.
Finally started watching Babylon Berlin myself. Captivating! Just finished S2 yesterday … being born in Berlin myself it got that extra bounce.
It’s absolutely brilliant. Definitely scratches the Arcane itch. @Pogue Mahone i think you liked Arcane?
Yeah. I thought Arcane was class. So thanks for the heads up. Will give this a go.
You'll like season three - they stick the landing. Some gripping stuff.
Nice. I'm three episodes in and it's very good so far.
Great show. As someone said, a solid ending.
I though it got worse each season. I enjoyed season 3 enough to finish it but I'm not sure why but I wasn't that enthralled by the end.
I think if pressed I would say the first season is the best, but I still thoroughly enjoyed the other two. As I said, I found it quite gripping and found myself to be very invested in how it all worked out. My wife remained keen too which was nice as she's extremely prone to losing interest in a show after starting it. Think she was rooting for Tommy throughout. Weirdo.
I didn't like the last season much. I loved the early seasons but by the end I was watching to see what happened at the end after having invested time watching the earlier seasons.
I enjoyed this a lot as well. The episodes were well done and even if the premise isn't original, it was very compelling. Episode 8 definitely felt influenced by Ninja Scroll which was cool but I liked the last few scenes and how it was left open for a second season.
So if I know nothing about League of Legends would I still find Arcane interesting if I liked Blue Eyed Samurai? I skipped it because it was based on that video game.
I remember binging this show maybe 10-11 years ago shortly after it finished its run and I ended up way more invested than I thought I would be. I did feel it didn't quite get into some of the topics of the original non-fiction book as much as it could have since the actual coaches of Odessa Permian HS in the early 90s were racist as feck but it doesn't too bad.
I knew nothing about the video game going in and thought it was great. Its probably one of the better things on there.
Think all of their anime has been really strong though. Feels like one of the things Netflix are doing really well. Watching Pluto at the moment and really enjoying it. Feel like I should have watched the original thing it was based on first maybe. Not too bad to pick up though. Watched another thing last year which was great called Monster, thats worth a watch too.
Murder at the End of the World has started well. Maybe a bit slow at times but could go somewhere interesting.
I'm enjoying The Lazurus Project. Sure, it's hardly original but I've found it entertaining.
About to finish Justified - City Primeval & thinking about starting Fargo. Worth it?
