It has its ups and downs alright, the last series isn't great overall but has its moments. Tony's kids are beyond annoying though, a right entitled pair of cunts.

[Eoin McLove]

I think that's a  interesting detail though.  The kids are spoilt rich kids. Their experience is detached from Tony's dark world, but they inevitably become contaminated.

Can't fault it. Best show for me.

[The Wretch]

Easily my favourite show of all time. I watch it start to finish at least once a year.

Tony's kids are beyond annoying though, a right entitled pair of cunts.

I don't mind Meadow as much in the later series, she was actually showing signs of maturity in some ways, and for all of her spoiled kid attitude, there is some substance and depth there throughout the series. 

But AJ is an insufferable prick. He has some of Tony's mental health issues and character flaws, but reminds me more of Janice and Livia, albeit less calculating and outright unpleasant. I won't say any more that that, as I don't want to give any spoilers, but if you've watched it, you'll get what I mean.

But overall, the quality of writing in terms of story lines and dialogue, the characters, the level of performance is just on another level.

Ya, but AJ's girlfriend/fiancée Blanca was an absolute beaut, so

[Trev]

Watched The Fall of the House of Usher over the last week, really enjoyable even if it leans a bit too much on the whole US prescription pill epidemic that seems so fashionable the last few years

Still, nicely gruesome, get to see a load of rich kids killed off in inventive ways, and a decent adaptation of some of Poe's work

The Telltale Heart episode was particularly good, can't remember the name of the actress that plays the daughter but she was excellent in it

[The Wretch]

Ya, but AJ's girlfriend/fiancée Blanca was an absolute beaut, so

She's a good looking lassie alright.

[Carnage]

The Dominican lass? Oh yes.

Good point Mr. McLove, the corruption spreading to the kids. The moral being that nobody gets out untouched, I suppose.

Picked 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

I love how the show pulls off the neat trick of making almost everybody absolutely terrible, yet you love them all anyway. People absolutely love Tony Soprano and he's one of the most insufferably terrible assholes ever onscreen.

It's also gotta be one of the funniest shows ever. Chris and Paulie lost in the woods, and Chris's intervention being particular highlights.

It's right up there among my favourite ever shows, but still just pipped by The Wire for me.

Yup, really liking it too.

Read a review of the whole season without spoilers and I thought I'd be able to watch it all handy on the dodgy box but it's not there at all and soap2day had only the two episodes so I'm half strung out for the next one.

We don't know how spoiled we are with binging full series until we've to wait a week for an episode

[Snare]

"We don't know how spoiled we are with binging full series until we've to wait a week for an episode"

Ha, I only started watching Lost with the kids at the weekend and was explaining they're so lucky they don't have to wait for 5 minute ad break cliff hangers and 1 week for the next episode. They're gripped watching 2 episodes each night straight through.

[astfgyl]

Honestly I'm very much a luddite and very resistant to anything new or different but I think the next generation are better off being able to watch a whole series in a few sittings rather than the weekly version.

Everything else modern is still wrong though

[StoutAndAle]

I have to say that, in some ways, I miss the old week-to-week thing.

I couldn't deal with the ad breaks though. I watched "The West Wing" start to finish during Covid MK.I because neither my wife nor I had seen it. It was on the Channel 4 app for free. The ads drove me nuts at points - to where I actually tried to pay for an ad-free subscription but you need to have a UK address/credit card to do so.

I'm watching the new season of "Slow Horses" at the minute which is released weekly. Makes for an enjoyable experience - if we binge watch something at home it feels a bit like fast food. The whole thing been and gone without much thought.

Started watching "Mr. McMahon" on Netflix last night. Very enjoyable so far - I was a massive wrestling fan as a kid, up until I left home when I was about 16 or 17 and I didn't have Multichannel TV any longer thus losing contact/interest. There's a lot of grim stuff that I didn't know about even during the era that I was hooked on - late 80s to late 90s.

Once thing that struck me immediately is how much cosmetic surgery the entire McMahon family appears to have gone through.
