Yep. The new series is great so far.

So is that season 3? Something to look forward to for the New Year so. Hope to get through the rest of The Bear this week before watching routine gets up-ended by Christmas. Last night was the Christmas dinner episode of season 2, as it happens. It has set the bar comfortably low for us for the real thing next week  :laugh:

Yeah, it's the third season of "Slow Horses" that's on currently.

The Christmas episode of "The Bear" nearly gave me a fucking stroke - the fact that it's an hour long as opposed to the rest which are 30 minutes and is absolutely, masterfully, relentlessly, sustained in its pacing.

The Bear Xmas dinner episode is insanely good. Chaotic, claustrophobic and Curtis is on fire, must rewatch.

This is cool, video essay including in-depth interviews with two of the editors of The Bear:

Started the Bear few days ago. Great stuff. Loved the one take episode in S1 and the Xmas one. Last one was Richie cleaning forks. Unreal stuff.

Herself got hit by flu just before the holidays so we didn't manage to finish off S2, gonna get stuck back in this evening. And yeah, 'Forks' would stand up as a short film it's so good an episode.

Watched the first episode of "Fool Me Once" on Netflix.

Utter shit. Like trying to pull off "True Detective" with "Coronation Street" level actors.

Speaking of which, new season of True Detective with Jodie Foster airs next week.

Ooh.. Nice, I like Jodie

Really looking forward to this.

Watched S5 of "Fargo" over the last few days on a whim, and am now working my way through the entire series.

Season 1 and 2 are fantastic. 3 and 4 took a big dip in quality but still watchable

I've said it before, season 2 of Fargo is about as perfect a season of TV that you will ever watch... Except for the totally random 'bookend' ehhh, happenings.
They have nothing to do with anything and only add a bit of WTF, but if you just ignored them the season is absolutely brilliant.

Aye season 2 is my favourite. Everything about it is amazing. And the cast who are all on top from are stellar. I rewatched it about a year ago and it was better the second time around.

I got through about 20 minutes. It's bad. All that was missing was one of Betty's hot pots.
