Is it just as good? If you like those 3 u will love it and all the individual specials except Hammond stuck on some island, dumped that after 10mins. Clarkson's farm excellent, May's our man in Japan*** excellent too, can't remember any others but could be more. A lot of it feels set up/scripted but I'm partial to idiots so it doesn't bother me. *** edit Edited August 5, 2021 by Phil Silvers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I really enjoyed the first 2-3 episodes of Clarkson's Farm with him genuinely looking out of his comfort zone, but it quickly turned in to the same old scripted bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Been Binge watching Gotham recently, on season 4 out of a total of 5 atm. Pretty good and entertainng series to watch on Netflix with a good cast. Passing the time away until 1 September when I start a grad job. Been told to watch Sons of Anarchy after that.

sheepyvillian Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Finished season 4 of Fargo. Not as good as 1 or 2, but as good as 3. I thought Chris Rock was excellent and Timothy Olyphant was superb as the US Marshal, Dick Deafy Wickware, how he pronounced that name with a straight face is beyond me. The show certainly meandered in parts but on the whole I loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) Bit bored with there being nothing new to watch due to Covid so started re-watching One Punch Man and The Venture Bros. Both excellent animated shows. Edited August 8, 2021 by sne 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with the first series it's easy to try and compare against the British version, and try and match up the characters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurembergVillan Posted August 9, 2021 Moderator Share Posted August 9, 2021 Been watching "The Widower" on Sky. Only a 3-part Dateline series, but thoroughly captivating. One of the weirdest blokes you'll EVER see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I’m typically sceptical of spin offs, and thought The Good Wife was no more than pretty good, but we just started The Good Fight and it’s, well, pretty good. One of those shows that the wife chooses but you don’t mind watching. More importantly, we recently binged through Godfather of Harlem. Now that’s a good show. Really excellent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched 2 maybe 3 episodes and honestly thought it was one of the worst shows I've ever seen. It's very, very rare that I stop watching a show once I've started but this was awful.

Troglodyte Posted August 9, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 9, 2021 Three quarters of the way through The Flight Attendant at the moment. It's got good reviews and a few award nominations but I think it's pretty shit. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
