Season one and two are almost unwatchable imo  :laugh: Even season 3 only improves as a function of Darren playing less and less of a role in it. For me 4 and 5 are where it's at.

I finished season 2 of The Diplomat. Fun stuff.

Started into Bodyguard whose first two episodes have been really good.

Watched the first two eps of the new Bad Sisters series, black comedy/murder mystery sort of thing with Sharon Horgan, first series was good craic.

Just watched a fascinating documentary on Rte called Birdsong. Ornithologist Sean Ronayne started a project to record the song of every species of Irish birds. About 200 species. Some are the first recordings ever made. Goes into the wider scope of conservation/biodiversity. Should be on the rte player tomorrow id say. If you have any interest in nature you'll love it.

It was on a couple of times before, it's a good watch alright.

Been trying on and off to get my hands on it for a while, hopefully I can sort it out.

Sounds interesting. I'll have to see if I can get it over here.

It's on the RTE Player, whether you can get that abroad or not I don't know.

I don't watch much TV, but burned through all six seasons of BoJack Horseman in the space of a month at a friend's behest. Already planning to rewatch it next year, probably the best portrayal of mental health I've ever seen n TV.

Randomly caught a few episodes of Tales of the Unexpected last week too. The title sequence is iconic and I haven't been unable to unhear the theme since. I recall being allowed watch this as a kid because the original series or two were based on Roald Dahl works and sure "that fella's a children's author" :laugh:

Bojack is lethal and is even better on a rewatch, way harsher when you know how it goes mind.  It's all the little things in it.  How it all starts is a great way to lower the defences a bit to how totally bleak it becomes :laugh:

Quote from: astfgyl on October 01, 2024, 08:01:02 PMPicked back up with season 3 of From. Good news is that it isn't the same outcome as Lost even though it really looked like it might be for a bit during season 2. Only seen two episodes from the new season but I'm liking it

Up to episode 9 now and the 3rd season has been absolute shite of the highest order. It reminds me of when The Walking Dead did the big switch from zombies to drama but it's actually worse. First 2 episodes were promising but fuck it has been so fuckin bad since then. I'll give it the finale next week, but unless there's something absolutely amazing coming in that (which there won't be, only another false reveal I'll bet), I don't think I'll go on.

Very annoying. At least I still have the 2 eps of The Rings Of Power to look forward to and haven't seen any of the Fargo one either but I see it mentioned here and a few people in the wild have said it's good too. Actually there's loads of stuff I could go at but it's annoying waiting a week per episode for something to be so so shit

I'm up to ep8 so will watch the last 3eps once the finale is out but ya, frustrating season all in. Think watching it week to week is also a killer.

Finished up Bodyguard just now. Very good. A bit of a tidy, happy ever after ending, but sure... the wife is a wetser so it would have been rude to let her go free.

Say Nothing:

Get to end of episode about planning and carrying out a bombing, herself to me: "Ooh, let's binge into the next ep!"
Get to end of next ep, all about a prolonged and excruciating hunger strike following imprisonment for said bombing, herself to me: "Maybe when we finish this show we could find a nice comedy to watch..?"  :laugh:
