Re Harlan Coben, I read one of his books a few years ago and tought it was poor but I've enjoyed the couple of tv adaptations. I don't try to guess what's going on, I turn my brain off and just let it carry me wherever it goes. Perfect relaxing telly, nothing more, nothing less.

I hate those Harlan Cohen TV shows. Utter garbage. This latest one being the worst.

***SPOILER***
And I don't care.


7 episodes of guessing and investigating who, why, blah blah blah... Then the final episode and the lead one in it fesses up to knowing all about it and the whole thing was a plot to set up her In-Laws for her murder, which she willingly committed to (so is it murder) and as a result left her young kid without any parent.

Utter Fucking Bollox!!!

2 episodes into the 2nd season of The Bear. It's a bit schmaltzy tbh, expected better. I wasn't completely sold on the first season initially but it certainly picked up...I hope this similarly improves

It does aye, worth sticking out even if you're not fully sold just yet.

This new True Detective started well but I'm on episode 4 now and it's an absolute snoozefest.

Waiting for the last episode next week to binge it. As long as it's better than season 2 I'll be happy enough.

Yeah ,I got bored with it ,mainly because I didn't find any of the characters particularly interesting or likeable. The setting was the best thing about it in the end.

I'm enjoying it. Ep 5 was good anyway.

Catching up on a load of recommendations that I never bothered with before.

The Bear has been damn good so far (season 1). That episode where they've 20 minutes to opening and trying to get everything together after the order system goes fucked is absolutely brilliant. Something so simple plot-wise but just so well done.

It's class alright. I found the transformation of bears cousin throughout the series was very well done.

I have to say that I am very excited for this. Never expected to see anything like this again!

The theme is an absolute banger too

Loved that series back in the day.
Can't believe they're continuing it after all this time.

That's certainly come out of the blue alright! Was obsessed with it back in the day. Sure was even in a band named after one of the characters. Which is a pretty good sign in itself of the immaturity level we were at... all of which duly came out in the music too :laugh:

Well herself thought season 4 of True Detective was great anyway, much better than 2 or 3. Not quite sure what to make of last episode myself. Some of it was great, some left me dubious, but maybe I just need to try interpreting it in different ways. Or something. I mean, I was disappointed with the final episode of season 1 first time I watched it too.

Watched Black Bird. Atrocious shite. The quicker I forget about that the better.
