No question about OJ. Watched the new Manson one yesterday. Nothing new but a grand watch.

Heard that. That's not enough to entice me at this stage. Tis a well worn path.

Maybe I should qualify that more as nothing new if you're aware of Tom O'Neill's theories and his book Chaos. Watched a good youtube doc that went a different way a few years ago. I'll try and locate it.

Couldn't find it.

Adolescence is harrowing. Poor old Stephen Graham. Writing and acting those roles must take a toll on ya at some point. It's 4 continuous shot episodes, which is incredible, and the young fella is a total newbie to acting. Plays a blinder.

I know I'm the last donkey standing on the hill of terrestrial telly which renders my present peeve almost completely redundant, and that the fact that it's related to Masterchef renders it completely and utterly redundant, so spare your sermonising you bunch of internet geebags. It'll never catch on, I tells ya.

Anyway, my peeve of the day is about Masterchef Australia's inability to let the fucking losers of the show go. They can't bare to part with anyone. They have just announced a new series where they bring back previous seasons' non-winning loser non- winner fucking losers to re-compete against each other, in some cases no doubt for a third time or more. It's as if the producers of the show never quite got the grips with the meaning of a competition. You get ONE winner! That's what makes the bloody award prestigious. The sickening feel-goodery of the show is a melt (then why the hell do you keep watching it, retard? I think the answer might be hidden in the question there) but this incapacity to say goodbye to the non- winning-shitfuck loser assholes gives me a pain in my bollox. And before you ask, yes I will watch it. The whole stupid thing.

Edit. Instead of me moving this to the correct thread can we just change this one to the pet peeve pt. 2 thread?

Watched This City Is Ours last night and really enjoyed it. It's a crime drama set in Liverpool involving a drug running family. It's far from perfect, but if you're looking for a solid  show in the vein of Soprano's or Gomorrah then you can't go wrong.

[Emphyrio]

Gomorrah was excellent, particularly the first couple of seasons. Thought they kept it running a bit too long though.

Only watched the first two so far, but it's top tier. That opening scene to the first episode was absolutely brutal.

I'm not too much of a fella for the TV, but anything with Steven Graham involved is pretty much a guaranteed watch.

[Circlepit]

Watched three episodes of Adolescence last night.
It's very well made, those extended scenes in episode three are quite intense.

Are kids that fucked in the head nowadays?

Also if I told a teacher to shut the fuck up in my secondary school days I would have been clattered into oblivion by the teacher, the vice principal who loved a good ruck and then when I went home as well.
That's beside the point though.

[Carnage]

Two episodes into it myself, it's heavy stuff. Watching it an episode at a time seems to be the way to go, you'd need a breather after each one.

[Circlepit]

Double post.

[Carnage]

Just finished it there, harrowing stuff and I don't have kids. I can only imagine the fear it'd put in you as a parent. Outstanding all round, the technical achievement alone is awardworthy.

Gomorrah was excellent, particularly the first couple of seasons. Thought they kept it running a bit too long though.

I found the last season very disappointing, but the other seasons are brilliant. The scenery is breath-taking. Granted some parts of it are overly dramatic - there's a lot of shots of lads gazing mournfully into the horizon,    but it works. 

[Emphyrio]

Ya, last season was poor but at least they tied it all up. I got very sick of the score played over those gazing off scenes.

I'd recommend Suburra if you were looking for something in a similar vein. Romanzo Criminale was very good too, set in 70s/80s.

Ya Gomorrah tailed off for me in the last 2 seasons. Romanzo Criminale was excellent. 2 seasons of exceptional quality.
