If ye want a good comedy check out "Letterkenny" you will not be disappointed.

Finally got round to watching the first 3 episodes of The Expanse last night, and although ye said it doesn't get good until later I'm enjoying the cut of its' jib as it is

Aye first 5 to 6 episodes are world building then it really takes off.

Listening to Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa's Sopranos podcast has me considering watching the whole thing from scratch again. Gonna give The Newsroom a whirl first though. Thought Jeff Daniels was great in The Looming Tower so looking forward to getting stuck into this.

The Newsroom is very enjoyable. Never matches the magic of that opening scene though.

The Newsroom is brilliant. Goes in a couple of unexpected directions and didn't outstay its welcome with 3 seasons.

What ever happened to the newsroom? I remember it being on Sky Atlantic when the channel first launched I watched most of the first season, enjoyed it then never saw it on TV again. 

Going to rewatch Carnivale soon. Got a new streaming service that has all the HBO programs, Twin Peaks, Frasier, Seinfeld, Curb etc. so plenty to watch now over the next while.

Sky Atlantic showed it all, that's where I watched it.

sky atlantic has broadcast a lot of pretty good shows since they started it up.

I finally got around to watching Picard recently. It was nearly good, but declined really fast after the first 2 episodes

I must of missed it. Looks like its on my new streaming service as well. I will get around to watching it again at some stage.


Watching vinyl now. I watched the first 5 or 6 episodes when it was airing a few years ago and enjoyed it. Looks like they only ended up making one season of it.

The beginning is the end and the end is the beginning. And so Dark is finished. Season 3 didn't hit the heights of the first 2 seasons until episodes 7 and 8 but still thoroughly captivating. Thankfully i think they nailed the ending. One of the best shows ever made.

Only have the last 2 eps left. I'd agree that it hasn't hit earlier heights and the whole multiverse lark is confusing. But it's all about exactly how they wrap it up. Will know tomorrow...

I don't really get that. I found Dark to be kinda excruciatingly meh. Not even bad, but just very by the numbers stuff. Not meaning to have a go at you personally.

By the numbers how? I can't really think of any show too similar.
