And also finished Twin Peaks season 3 last night. Finally. Relieved isn't the emotional response I would have been hoping for at this juncture, but here we are. Should have been 12 instead of 18 episodes. Gotta give Kyle Maclachlan 10/10 for his performance across the different Coopers, but Lynch is only getting between 6 and 7 here. Early on I was on board with him making the most out of having gotten to a stage in his career when he can do whatever he wants. As it went on, more and more, I was wishing someone had been there to say, No, cut that. And that. And that too.

Aye too long at 18 episodes. 10 to 12 episodes would have been perfect. Still really enjoyed it anyway.

Time for a well-deserved total change of genre: finally started Deadwood tonight!  :abbath:

Up to S2 atm. Love it so far, dialogue heavy if you're into that.

Yeah, takes a while to tune in to the dialogue fully but it's fantastically written.

Watched the first couple of episodes of Poker Face, the Rian Johnson series that just started on Sky. It's alright, the main character's really annoying but the villain of the week set up is a nice throwback (along with the titles) to the Columbo feel it's going for. Worth a look anyway.

Apart from it being a Western starring Ian McShane, I know nothing else about this show. So was genuinely delirah when I saw no less than Brad Dourif and a host of other great character actors are in it too. Really looking forward to getting into it now. I should be grand for the dialogue since we watch with English subtitles on for herself. Let's see how she copes with all the 19th century cowboy vocab  :laugh:

She'll be calling everyone she meets a cocksucker or hooplehead before the week is out.

Well, was high time we started thickening up the young lad's hide anyway!

Fucking loved Succession!,them being a bunch of pricks is the appeal!

The final series of "Ted Lasso" was excruciating. The episodes were nearly as long as more enjoyable indie movies that I should have watched.

I understand that the first and second season were almost like a Covid-lcokdown junk food for people but the carry on in this series is absolute dogshit. I watched it because my wife wanted to but I nearly gave myself an aneurysm with all the eye-rolling.

Started Banshee yesterday, had never heard of it before but blitzed through the first 8 or 9 episodes

Shocking. Could never understand the praise.

Deadwood is amazing despite the last season being rushed due to being cancelled. Finished Barry which was a good buzz. Rewatching Eastbound and Down.

The crew that made Ted Lasso (never bothered) have another one out, Shrinking. Meant to be good craic.

Make sure your watching it with the missus or significant other...
All the fighting and riding is like giving her an invisible fingering.  :laugh:
Guaranteed the ride after it.

The final season is utter muck, though. Creators wanted out and killed everything that made the preceding seasons so enjoyable.

There are post credit scenes on most if not all episodes, too. In case you're skipping past them.
