The TV Thread

That was 10/10

Hilarious and laid out the government’s fuckery in a simple time line.

Preaching to the choir though I suspect.

I kinda wish it was next week so that he could have done something about the easing this week. I would have liked him to call people out harsher too, the stupidity of people this week is crazy. Was on point though, as expected. The Huq’s eyes when she kicked off at the kids were nightmarish.

That’s a heavy slumber mate

Any trek geeks out there ? this shits happening and I’m stoked

I’m very partial to some Nordic Noir and just discovered they have all the series of Beck on amazon prime, so I really recommend it for anyone else who is into that sort of thing.

I’m sure this has been done to death but I’m finally got round to watch The Mandalorian. On episode 6 and am really enjoying it. One of the best things Disney has done with Star Wars for me.

Also started watching the McMillions documentary on Sky with the Mrs. If somebody’s has written it as a script it wouldn’t get taken on as it seemed too far fetched. Real good watch.

Couldn’t create a character like him. Bonkers.

This sounds excellent. Don’t have prime but might see how I can get a hold of it.

Where does it rate for you against the killing or the bridge?

Abandoned and Post Radical are both on 4OD. McCrank is a really good tv show presenter.

Too early to say for sure but so far it I think it’s on the same level; good supporting characters, very atmospheric, gritty at times, all I’d want.

I’m a big fan of Prime actually and I think I’d rather keep it over Netflix if I were forced to choose.

Prime gets fucking nuts if you keep on digging, I’m not sure what the bar to entry is on there, not sure there is one because there’s some properly low rent films and documentaries. Keep scrolling and you end up at this kind of lunacy:

Fucking tons of it as well.

Yeah, I’ve had prime for 4-5 years now. Bought for the delivery service as it helps save money with work.

I think I watched Picard and good Omens last year and that is probably more shows that I watched in the previous two years.

Prime is basically the UK Conquest of the streaming age.

The boys is the best thing on prime . The Dark humour is brilliantly done

See if you’re eligible for their frequent free month trials and cancel it after a day or two.
You’ll keep the access for the whole month but it won’t continue into the chargeable period thereafter.

Very late to this but I’ve just watched the first Abandoned ep on All 4 and I’m very impressed, more skating than I’d expect, well shot and a nice overall spookily nostalgic feeling.

The Eric Clapton doco life in 12 bars on bbc 2. Wow , it’s a few years old but what a story, what a life . Tragic and incredible

Couldn’t find that it’s been mentioned here - I’ve been watching Dark on Netflix, in fact I haven’t done anything else since I started watching it.

Best thing I’ve seen in a long time. It’s made in German, some say that the subtitled is ‘better’ but I know I’d miss some visual cues whilst reading so I persevered with the dubbed. For me, it’s up there with Breaking Bad.
