I don't want it to finish It got a bit rubbish right at the end for me. But for the first 85% of it I loved it so much. Thinking about it, I don't know if I ever watched the actual final episode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Season one is weak but still better than a lot of sitcoms' first season . Just as IASIP got drastically better when Devito rocked up Parks and Rec goes up a level when Rob Lowe walks through the door. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many great minor characters that make the whole series exceptional. Jean-Ralphio, Jeremy Jamm, Tammy 2, Perd Hapley, Crazy Ira and the douche. They all keep each episode fresh. As well as Tom and Donnas relationship. I love this show. It never got weak for me, that all said, Rob Lowe is magnificent in it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 P&R is book-ended by its worst seasons but everything in between is magic. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LancsVillan Posted November 4, 2020 Moderator Share Posted November 4, 2020 Really enjoyed the film years ago and.then watched the first two when it came out. Was looking through recordings to clean up the box. So eight episodes in two days later I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed Lincoln Rhyme : Hunt for The Bone Collector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was recommended it by a friend and presumed it totally wouldn’t be my thing but I thought it was great. Finished last night. Had it’s slower moments but all in very good if not better. As an aside if you are wont to have a few on the couch with the cat beside yourself a perfect check on your cerebral status is a quick game of chess. Absolutely woeful with eight in. Astonished I was. Cat not so much. Very wise is she. Back to the show 8/10. Will watch again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I finally got round to watching Cobra Kai. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Love the 80s vibe and the corny stories/dialogue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly Ralph Macchio is 5 years older in Cobra Kai season 1 than Pat Morita is in the first Karate Kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the Cobra Kai guys in the 2nd season. Sadly Tommy died in real life a few months after shooting his TV death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah absolutely loved that episode, brilliant that they got the original actors back. Shame they couldn't get Dutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Re-watching The West Wing. Nowadays it is so fecking quaint and earnest. It looks more like fantasy land and dates some storylines quickly. "Leo, are you ready, the story is on the internet, so it will break widely tomorrow" etc. Agreeing with those finding Roadkill a bit underwhelming. One episode to go, but it feels shortchanged. Should have been a 6 episode series really. Also found Harlots on the iplayer. Filling the annual period drama watch after the excellent Les Miserables last year. It's not bad.

villa4europe Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Working my way though grand army at a good pace Its solid yet unspectacular, feels like its all been done before, often better, it's trying to be gritty new York but rather than gangsters paradise it's kids that I consider well to do so it doesn't really work, with then modern day going to school with Instagram which I really don't ubderstand... And yet it's strangely compelling, the cast and kids do all feel believable for what they are supposed to be, doesn't feel like 27 year olds playing teenagers, what it does show of brooklyn is great and they could probably do with more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I've been watching The Queen's Gambit, chess is an unusual topic for a TV drama but I've always liked the game and it's surprisingly enjoyable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
