Last One Laughing good then? There's been a French version for years but I never checked it out because either couldn't stand or had never heard of the comedians in it.

The English one is good alright, I haven't watched any of the others. I believe the Canadian one is decent, I couldn't watch the Irish one - Andrew Maxwell and Jason Byrne are dealbreakers on their own, let alone together.


Few good laughs but not mandatory viewing by any stretch. Didn't know there was an Irish one. Sounds annoying.

I watched this when it was first out. Great show and just like Carnivale it should never have been cancelled.

The Irish one was miles funnier than the English one. Way more laughs.  David McSavage was great in it, and to my astonishment Amy Huberman was pretty funny too.

Would have loved another season of Vinyl, but apparently it was a hugely high budget and nobody watched it. Given it hasn't really achieved any kind of post-life interest either I guess it is what it is. Probably made the sin of coming out when rock was really dead in the charts and hiphop was at its zenith, so the young audiences probably just weren't interested in it.

I didn't make it past the pilot, despite being absolute target audience  :laugh:

Started Years and Years on Netflix. It came out in 2019 but is set around 2024. The level of prophecy in it is scarily uncanny. Ukraine. The far right getting into power in the UK. Trump bombing places. It really is scarily accurate.
