Only getting into Still Game now, it's fucking great stuff.

Ah it's legendary, get it right round ye

I loved Chewin The Fat at the time, just never got around to this. It's mighty, light and cynical in equal measure.

Anyone watching the new series of Squid Game?

Actually enjoyed it but splitting the end into a second and third series is highly unnecessary.

Started watching A Man On The Inside with Ted Danson in it this evening. Mild sort of easy watching comedy but surprisingly fun.

Watched The Walk-In, really good stuff. Not as brutal as I expected it to be though. Probably spoiled by the era of prestige drama which an ITV show can't really compare to.

The new Squid Game was better than I expected it to be. They do manage to keep it fresh, though as mentioned the way the season ends is highly annoying.

Jesus Christ Jools Holland and Sophie Ellis Bextor were both shit. Was flicking back and forth between the two just hoping to settle into some NYE programming and it was hard to stick with either. Did the back-home countdown (5pm for me here) and was then in bed before the actual Canadian countdown...

Been watching the latest Taylor Sheridan series, Landman, with Billy Bob Thornton and gotta say it's probably his best one yet.

Finally getting round to Hysteria season 1 now and its very entertaining

Cirith Ungol, Mercyful Fate and Bathory and the soundtrack as well amongst others

It starts off well, but I didn't like how it kinda dismissed a lot of the initial weirdness by the end. That being said I hope there's a second season (or more) and it swings back around leans into the weird shit again.

Bad Sisters season 2. More of the same. Chewing gum for the eyes Dougal. Yes, but chewing gum with Sarah Greene mascarading as a pirate Ted!

If nothing else, it provides plenty of Paddy culture enriching opportunities for her good self. Surprised her singing The Nolans just the other day!

I'm shocked we didn't get a Sheridan cameo where he's the cool guy like in Yellowstone (I'm class with horses and surrounded by lingerie models) and Lioness (blew up a tank). 🤣

Thornton is always reliable.

The podcast Landman is based on is worth a listen and it's really only the cartel stuff that gets tacked on in the show.

2 epsiodes into American Primeval on Netflix. Set in america in the late 1800's. This is stellar tv. A brutal depiction of the time. Acting, script, violence all top notch.

It's on the watchlist. Was apprehensive when it was announced as it got greenlit due to Netflix not having Taylor Sheridan stuff, plus Peter Berg can be more hit than miss but hearing how gnarly it is along with some of the bonkers Mormon stuff looking forward to it now.

Gnarly is a beginning point to this show. On the 3rd episode now. Best thing I've watched in years.

Almost finished S1. I know it's a drama but I've laughed more often for this than the last season of What We Do in the Shadows. Really getting a lot of craic out of it. Plus, Ali Later... Plus the daughter... Will stick with it, most certainly.
