maqroll Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I really wanted to like Ted Lasso. I liked the original NBC promo bits. I like the concept. But the show itself is disjointed and poorly executed. The writing is good in spots, but lacking in imagination in others, IMO. They try to make it check too many boxes instead of focusing on the funny. Missed opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Salad Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Going a bit old school with this one, but a few days ago I started watching Barney Miller. On 3rd season already and love it. Think its hilarious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Finished Clarksons farm 7/10 worth a watch Half way through OJ true crime or whatever its called, I've seen it before, it's very good even if the performances are a mixture between top notch and hammy as ****, the wife's not seen it, or even heard of OJ, can't remember any of it which i find weird Started sweet tooth, 3 episodes in and still not sure what to make of it, the kid smashes it out of the park and is very watchable, I think tonally it's a success even if on the surface of it it's a bit weird and also a bit of nothing... Not a great deal happens, it's not packing story in or even that much dialogue, it's more interesting than what it should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Lasso was pure joy and the most likeable thing on television. This is objectively true and will not be subject to debate on VT, if I so have to physically wrestle limpid for supreme control. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other people in it do really hold it together nicely - Kaleb and Gerald in particular are a nice change of pace from Clarkson. It was definitely a bit forced at times and you could see the Top Gear influences coming through every so often. I actually learned stuff about farming that I never knew about so that part was genuinely interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzzle Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Just finished Invincible and after not being very into it at first it really got good in the end. Looking forward to next season Also finished watching Sweet Tooth which was alright and I did enjoy it but apparently the comic is really dark and violent which is what I would have liked the show to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Strong, McKee, Craig, Ecclestone, &c. obviously terrific. Just been rewatching this with my kids.Just on the bit where they try to uncover police corruption in the Met in 1970 but aren’t able to do anything about it,seems very relevant today. Must say Daniel Craigs geordie accent is atrociously cliched but otherwise acting is really good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turned it off after 20 minutes of metal guitar riffs coupled with flash back scenes inspired by 80s soap operas. Was I too harsh? I keep hearing good things about Banshee.
