Gave House of Guinness a go last night, just to see if it's as bad as the Irish press are saying, or indeed as good as the Brits and Yanks seem to think it is.

It's a bit of both tbh. Accents are as hit and miss as I'd expect them to be, and the Oirishness is in predictable overload. It looks great in the usual sumptuous, sanitised Netflix way and the acting is pretty much on par with most period dramas. I'm not overly sold on the use of contemporary music in a historical setting either.

The fight scenes do put me in mind of the shitty Gangs of New York ones though, a film which I've increasingly grown to despise over the years.

New Alan Partridge is amazing as ever and loved the new Beavis and Butthead.

New Alan Partridge is amazing as ever and loved the new Beavis and Butthead.

What's the new Beavis and Butthead like? Still the same thing of them watching music videos with critique plus story bits in between?

It's hard to imagine how they exist in the modern era given neither music videos or any kind of rock is anywhere near the mainstream now.

[open face surgery]

Same as ever and they're doing both music and reality shows now. Due to them never changing it's a beautiful thing to watch 😄

[Ollkiller]

Ya i watched 2 new episodes of Beavis and Butthead and it was brilliant.

[Emphyrio]

Is it S3 of the reboot now. Definitely watched the first season and it's as good now as ever.

[open face surgery]

Must be. It's recent anyway cause I saw an ad for new B&B after the last South Park episode.

I'm currently watching a show on telly called Traitor. Various English famous people in a castle together, three of whom are traitors and "kill" the faithful ones. The three traitors know each other but everyone else is in the dark as to who is a traitor of faithful.  Alliances form and so on, but beautifully, they keep eliminating each other and so far no traitor has been caught. Ahhh, it's fun 

[ochoill]

I watched the Irish version of that a month or so back and it was good fun, addictive stuff.

[Eoin McLove]

Yeah. Very easy watching with a cup of tae after a day's work and highly amusing.

[Ollkiller]

The Traitors is the biggest load of fucking muck ever. Cunts trying to out cunt each other. Was exposed to the irish version as herself watched it. That fucking guard needs to be shot with a ball of his own shyte. Each to their own but fuck me its brutal.

Edit. The English celebrity one was less shit. Still shit but nowhere near as bad as the irish normal one.

[Snare]

I must say our family really enjoyed watching the Irish Traitors together. You're trying trying to turn us all on each other 

[Emphyrio]

The Traitors is the biggest load of fucking muck ever. Cunts trying to out cunt each other.

Having never watched it, nor any desire to, this is exactly what I picture. I despise reality TV so I'm not their target audience anyway.

Just starting a rewatch of The Wire. Best TV show ever. It's funny on a rewatch tom see how they basically lay out McNulty's entire character right from the first episode. Definitely one of the best examples of cunt but likeable in TV history.
