Watched the second season of "Ted Lasso" only because my wife wanted to see it. I genuinely don't know why or how it's getting all these awards and great reviews - including 5/5 from The Guardian. It's written like a teen soap and shot like a kids' TV show. 

It's like a lot of shows now - written and filmed to be watched by people who spend more of the episode's  runtime scrolling their phones than looking at the TV.

Watched some of the first few episodes and I felt the exact same. It is fuckin diabolical. What is wrong with people?

I enjoyed the first season, as far as feel-good TV goes. S2 then reminded me that feel-good stuff is pretty lame.

On latest season of El Marginal. Still plenty to like.

Reacher was very enjoyable too. I'm a fan of the books and the series is much better than the Tom Cruise movies.

Watched the first episode of Pam and Tommy. More horrible, horrible garbage.

Just seen an ad on telly for an edgy, dramatic remake of the Fresh Prince of Bel-air, who the fuck thought remaking that show without the comedy was a good idea?

I read a review of it, apparently Carlton is a scheming drug addict in it.

I spent the day watching The Book Of Boba Fett, great show. I need to get through the animated series, I've had them for ages.

Seems that we have reached the end of creativity. The 90's show "Early Edition" about a guy who gets his copy of the Chicago Tribube delivered one day earlier than the rest of the city has been green-lit for a reboot.

HOW in the name of holy FUCK is that going to work?! First thing will be a three episode arc explaining to millennials what a newspaper is.

"You see - things that happened yesterday were printed on dead trees and then we'd pay money to read about it today. Do you understand now? No?"

. What is it with American shows and not knowing when to end it.......The walking Dead springs ti mind. It became so bad I stopped watching it

How far did you get with TWD? I just got around to watching seasons 4 to 6 recently (after like a 7 year hiatus!), and wondering is it time to quit after episode 1 of season 7?

From a brief look online it seems s7 and s8 are the worst before picking up again in s9, so wondering if it's worth slogging through, or fast forward to s9, or just forget about it already

I gave up after S4 I think. It's crazy to think it's still going.

On a zombie sidenote, I just watched the first episode of Kingdom - samurai, zombies.... interesting.

Ya Kingdom is a good watch.

I watched a few episodes of that Euphoria show. God its terrible.

Watched the first episode of the new season of Ozark. I was pretty lost, couldn't remember much of the previous seasons so I'll leave it alone until I can be arsed to watch a recap video on YouTube.

Ploughing through Line of Duty and I'm into the 5th season now. Its so damn good. Maybe the best British police show, or at least on a par with The Bill.

It must rank among the top TV shows ever made. Maybe not quite at the elite standard of Roseanne, Keenan and Kel or Mailbag, but not far off it.

Gripping telly.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Don't think it's fair to compare a British show to Mailbag. How does it compare to Points of View?

So the new trailer for Amazon's Lord of the Rings series is out. Prime is pretty much my go to streaming service at the moment, if only for the Expanse, and the new Jack Reacher. I'm def getting more out of it than Netflix, that's for sure. I'm not going to make any judgements based solely on a trailer, but obv the Independent aren't too gone on the CGI. Just hope it doesn't go the way of the Hobbit.
