Same as that. I thought Afterlife was terrible myself. Gave up on it after a few episodes.

I'd agree with this to an extent, although I wouldn't necessarily give Merchant the lion's share of the credit...but definitely Gervais material without Merchant is by far his weakest. Thought Afterlife was overly sentimental, schmaltzy stuff.

Forgot about Extras. That was good as well.

Started watching "The Mayor Of Kingstown" - 3 episodes in. Noticed that Taylor Sheridan (as I previously mentioned) created/wrote "Tulsa King/Yellowstone/1883/1923/Sicario/Hell Or High Water/Wind River" created this show too - Jesus Christ - is there anyone else working in Hollywood?

Anyway - it started off alright but I'm not sure if I'll stick with it. As I said about Sheridan's "Tulsa King" recently - the premise is great but I can see it losing steam already. Plus the idea is pretty high concept in places and the dialogue wavers between nonsensical and ropy.

Also - and this may be a getting older thing - is the violence on some TV shows is now getting beyond grim? There's a few scenes in the 3rd episode of this show that made me wince.

On-screen violence in films 20 - 25 years ago probably wouldn't have drawn a flinch from me.

Derek. I want find on it, but the out-takes from it are worth a look. I love those corpsing videos from The Office. So funny.

The outtakes with Kev (who my Mrs says looks like me, fuckin bullshit you ask me) are brilliant from Derek. The caravan 😂

Watched another episode of "The Mayor Of Kingstown" last night. I think I'm going to give up on it.

Fairly mindless shit that thinks it's "The Sopranos" or "The Wire".

Extras was brilliant nearly as good as the office. The show with Warrick life's too short I think it was called was great as well. That last show Gervais did on netflix was shite only watched season 1 not even bothered watching season 2.

Finished After Life there. Definite dip for the third series, but not a huge one. The final episode fairly played the emotional game but ended well I thought.

Just due to Francis Ford coppola and that era of movies being mentioned in film thread. I actually ended up enjoying The Offer series, but not sure if it's actually shit and I just love that era. It's a bit hammy.

I really enjoyed it, all the Hollywood carry on. I thought Miles Teller was excellent, much better choice than Armie Hammer.

The two new South Park are great.

I watched all three seasons of "Get Shorty" on a binge recently - I thought it was very good. Chris O'Dowd plays the dark side very well.

And if you're into the machinations of Hollywood and its players then it's even more enjoyable.

I wouldn't be a fan of O'Dowd but I' told it's good alright. I must read the book, I saw the fillum when it came out but don't remember much about it.

Yeah I really enjoyed Get Shorty.
