100%. It would the Sesh of all time 

I think that going on the lash with Charles Barkley would be the session to beat. His punditry is almost stream of consciousness comedy.

Rodman strikes me as the kind of lad that would be fun for a while but would slink away at the first sign of trouble or a scrap - that he had caused.

Anyone catch Lovecraft Country yet? I have it recorded but it has successfully eluded me all week, due mainly to the combination of a newborn and the demands of shift work. It's one of many series I've looked forward to viewing, but I just can't seem to muster up the time or concentration these days.

I'm in the middle of a house renovation so everything is pretty much packed away including the TV. No patience to watch things on my phone. Watched "Perry Mason" before I packed up my desktop iMac. Enjoyed it for the most part. And still Shea Whigham waits for a leading role.

A show that I happened upon and have been watching a lot of recently is "Impractical Jokers", not highbrow by any means but by fuck those four eejits can make me laugh. Great to crack a beer and watch. You'd need a serious pair of bollocks to do some of the shit that they do.

Brilliant first episode. Acting and cinematography top notch. The end of the episode is mental.

The English one or the yank version? The former was enjoyable, purely for the levels of embarrassment they drove each other to. The latter was poor in comparison IMO, as is usually the case.

The original US one with the Tenderloins - the guys who created it. I've never seen the UK version but everyone I mention the show to told me that it was poor.

Watching The Young Offenders here while waiting on the oven. Is this the fruit of some FÁS scheme to make a tv show or what?

What I've seen of the TV show was total shite. They were mad for it at home last Christmas. My auld pair love Mrs Browns Boys as well so that might explain it.

The film was very good in parts, but they are riding it now. The Roy Keane cameo...god bless us and save us.

El Candidato on Amazon is pretty good. Well, the pilot was poor, but it picks up nicely.

As if on cue, after talking about Wallander in the books thread:

Doesn't look great, updated and completely different in tone. Sure it's not aimed at me anyway, I suppose.

Duty/Shame Giri/Haji worth a look lads.

Don't know if anyone here gives much of a shit for Anime but still:

Finished Tokyo Ghoul the other week, last half of the last season felt a bit rushed and a lot weaker than earlier seasons but overall the show was decent.  Followed up with Neon Genesis Evangelion - a series that I watched maybe half of around last christmas so I decided to finish it off before starting anything new.  Considering it starts as a weekly giant robot vs. aliens battle show, at some point towards the end of the season it shifts into what it was alluding at all along and goes absolutely bleak and esoteric, then the end of the season is completely nuts.  Off the wall shit, would put David Lynch to shame.  Guaranteed existential dread.  Must watch the film to tie it off.

Other than that I've been blasting through Trailer Park Boys again, usually a couple of episodes a day.  Middle seasons of this show are absolutely top.  Think I abandoned it halfway through the last season last time I watched (not the animated one, I watched one episode of that and no more).

Ya those middle seasons are fucking savage. Especially the Patrick swayze train with Sebastian Bach and the Rush episode. As u like Trailer park boys have u seen Letterkenny yet. A more thinking man's trailer park boys

Have to say, I thought Normal People was excellent. Exceptionally rare to see things like peer pressure and alienation treated with such creative sensitivity.
