They just had a little clip of video and Weller has a scruffy sticker on his guitar. He gave me one of those stickers and I stuck it on my guitar. I remember it because the one he gave me was such a catchy snappy slogan: ‘animal based cancer research is a fraud’. If you are a glutton for punishment, there is a style council documentary on the same channel tonight. Ordinarily I would give it a stab but you know, Strictly is on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just a bit sceptical about it because a lot of reviews saying how brilliant it is say that it's also pretty much impossible to understand what's going on, and I'm struggling to see how that would make it enjoyable! Also read that it starts quite slowly - there are some more negative comments out there about it too. I'm also waiting for the new season of Fargo to be broadcast somewhere in the UK, but I've heard it isn't quite up to the standard of the others unfortunately. Very sadly, I'm also glad that Hell's Kitchen (USA) has returned. It's shite but an absolute guilty pleasure of mine. Part of the brilliance of dark is it knows full well that the viewer doesn't have a scooby what's going on and it can just ride along with it, at times it plays on it, it shouldn't work but it really does, never worry about it Fargo I watched the 1st epiosde and the opening 30 mins are really well put together and definitely has a clever quirky vide about it but it just didn't grab me and I can't explain why Also watched the 2nd half of the mandalorian this week, watched the first 5 episodes when they came out but walked away because I didn't think much of it but enjoyed it this time around, new episode was OK, it needs a stronger main story arc, the episode to episode new world new characters model doesn't do enough for me And I started bly Manor, shocked at how poor the production values are buts its alright, not a patch on the first one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveal hidden contents And it gave us nerds what we’ve wanted for ages, even if it teased us with a little bait and switch I kind of saw it coming a little bit, but I still lost my absolute s**t at that final scene!!!

useless Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) I've been watching Pen15 and think that I like it quite a lot, amusing, and can be quite surreal as well. Edited November 1, 2020 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Just getting round to watching that last episode of the walking dead from a few weeks ago. I forgot how horrendous the picture and sound quality are. Has everyone else had that? It looks like it was filmed on about 1990. We have to have the volume almost at maximum to make out what they’re saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then it is just diminishing returns Truly the epitome of any visual medium in the history of mankind. We have reached nirvana. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am watching at broadcast pace so have an episode left. Not really sure about it and as I am three quarters into it, it doesn’t bode well.

theboyangel Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Thoroughly enjoyed the second season of The Alienist - Angel of Darkness just as good as the first season if not better as the characters develop hoping for a third season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted November 3, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 3, 2020 Surprised by how much I enjoyed The Queen’s Gambit. Was recommended it by a friend and presumed it totally wouldn’t be my thing but I thought it was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Now re-watching 'Teachers' as its been released on Netflix. Absolutely adore it and other than the (fantastic) soundtrack it hasnt really aged that much for a 20 year old show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you I was suspicious about the premise, but it seems really good. I'm only 2 episodes in though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 In keeping with me being on the pulse TV wise, I've just started Parks and Recreation. Does it get better? It's sort of background noise at the moment but some of it is pretty funny. I'm halfway through series 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizzzle Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 After getting bored and giving up about half through season 2 of Better Call Saul when it first aired I have decided to give it another go now that my expectations have been significantly lowered. I have finished season 1 and am pretty much at the point where I gave up. I have enjoyed it more than my 1st viewing but still think it’s just above average at best or at least it has been so far so I am hoping it becomes the amazing show everyone thinks it is in the latter seasons. It can be painfully slow at times which is why I probably gave up in the 1st place so it helps that I can binge watch them. I do like it and won’t give up on it this time but it’s not even in the same league as Breaking Bad imo or at least it isn't for me atm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
