Phil Silvers Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Blasted thru 188 episodes of The Office (US) in about a month, absolutely up there with one of my all time favourite sitcoms ever, loved it. So many laugh out loud moments and the extended cast of characters were superb (apart from a particular English female comedy actress towards the end). On Zeroerozero at the moment, quite good, never seen the Pacific so that's next then might watch the office again 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wazzap24 Posted February 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2021 I started ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ a few weeks back. I don’t know why I’d never watched it before, but the pilot was on Sky, so I gave it a go. It’s fecking brilliant! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Trying out 2 Spanish series. First one is a horror/thriller type thingy called 30 Coins. Opening episode was fairly decent with a exorcism, Catholicism story done OK. Familiar stuff but these ones have a tendency to start off with an interesting premise but then not being able to keep it going. Will keep watching thou. (On HBO) The other one is a mystery/thriller series about an isolated boarding school for troubled kids called The Boarding School or El Internado: Las Cumbres. Not started that one yet but it might be something. Main complaint from comments seen to be English speaking people not being able to read subtitles when watching a foreign speaking show... (It's on Amazon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick with it as for me very early on it felt like an ok copy of a classic, it goes on to do its own thing and it turned out to surpass the original overall for me, proper LOL stuff if you click with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous but I managed to blank it out as after the big change after S7 there were still some amazing episodes, Dwight Schrute is the best, his Belsnickel amongst other stuff just blew me away. Having watched the series bloopers, Rainn Wilson cracked up at anything so God knows how they got some of the stuff they did, amazing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brent is a brilliant invention and after life is decent, but yeah he is very much marmite to many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't understand the amount of affection she'd show her son's, borderline incest. That's a no then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the last episode of the 10th season and I keep delaying from watching it because the thought of no new episodes is really depressing. Effortless comedy at it's finest, and most of it totally improvised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Finally got around to watching Ted Lasso after reading some positive feedback on it here. If you don’t love that show you’re not human. About as likeable as apple pie and ice cream. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love Larry's interactions with Richard Lewis as well. Lewis has aged horribly towards the end! Larry looks exactly the same as he did 20 years ago 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was ok (nothing special) up until the reveal of Moriaty... who I cannot take as a criminal mastermind at all. won’t be rushing back for season two anytime soon. Season 2 is pretty good, it gets shit after that because the writers went OTT with fan fiction and thinking they were more cleverer than they are 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
