Zatman Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Was enjoying Wednesday but after about episode 5/6 it just gets a bit annoying and repetitive which I have to blame on the writing I think the lack of the rest of the Addams Family in the show for me is a little annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However episode three is quite good & talks about the influence they have over the media, colonialism etc. Not really news to British people but this’ll be an eye opener for non-British viewers I think. David Olusoga features pretty heavily too which is always good. In it or referenced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a fun teen show about a quirky girl at a weird school. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustibrooks Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Watch 5 episodes of the Harry and Meghan limited series on Netflix. So far what I’ve come away with it is that, they are controlling the narrative about them (which is fair considering the amount of shit in the tabloids) and it’s made me hate tabloids even more. I can’t imagine having people trying to break into my or another friend of mines property just to get some pictures and a scoop. That’s pretty scary to be honest, I get celebs are essentially public figures but even public figures deserve privacy and the right to it. I know some people are fed up of them etc, but I think it’s a bit alarming that even a royal (or former) can’t even escape/stop the tabloids/paparazzi from intruding on them. It sad that people are getting paid to find as much dirt on someone etc especially after what happened to Diana. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Caroline flack situation is so sad and it gets me so annoyed thinking about it. Also the fact that the media made a whole ordeal about Meghan holding her bump when she was pregnant was laughable, especially when Kate got praised from the same outlet for doing the same thing. But I agree no one deserves that treatment it’s horrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I've started the 5th season of The Crown. I was pleasantly surprised at Johnny Lee Miller's role as John Major, especially when you remember him from Trainspotting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
