I've watched the first season, loved it but I thought it ran out of steam a bit towards the end. It's based on a book which is in turn based on a true story (though most of the details are speculation/fiction), so that's hardly the series' fault. But yeah, first season is great, yet to watch the second. It's an anthology series so each season is self-contained.

Cool as a cucumber. It is shot beautifully.

Really liked S1, a bit dragged in the middle but rescues itself at the end. S2 isn't near as good yet I felt compelled to see it through.

Just finished Schitts Creek. Catherine O'Hara, she of Home Alone fame, is very fuckin funny in it, in a quite absurd way.

She'd brilliant in it. Especially with her wigs, or baaybies to her. Took a few episodes to get into it but it's a quality show.

The Terror series  is excellent as is the book.
Schits Creek is funny but there were times watching it I wanted to see all of them bar the mother; to get executed.

Truth Seekers - recent Simon Pegg & Nick Frost show. In short , it's awful. 2 eps in, zero laughs. I'm giving it the heave-ho.

Tried it too. Awful.

That's disappointing to hear. I've been rewatching Spaced which is a timeless classic.

Currently on episode 2 of Ratched. I like it!

Finished season 2 of The Punisher earlier. It was alright, most of those Netflix/Marvel series have been nonevents.

Spaced, Jays-us what a show.

Speaking of classics...

I used to love Red Dwarf as a young lad, especially the first few seasons. I was older when I saw the third season of Blackadder and was over the moon to see Chris Barrie's cameo as the French revolutionary.

After Peep Show went gay in the last three seasons I haven't seen a decent sit-com.

I found Fleabag and Catastrophe great, in very different ways, but it's highly possible you would detest both.

Flowers though, just a mini-series sit com, was exceptional.

Moone Boy is also highly recommended, especially for ex-pats looking for a bit of a re-live of Irish life in the 80s and 90s.

They are. And in a proper adult way.

Creedon's Atlas of Ireland. I find his relentless bonhomie a bit much at times but this is an interesting show. His passion for the country and its history and culture can't be doubted.

Interesting show alright, the place names were interesting.

The first two were good so hoping this holds up
