Three new episodes of Black Mirror on Netflix. Sadly the quality has gone over a cliff. There's an episode starring Miley Cyrus that's so bad I wanted to punch myself in the face when it ended.

I didn't mind the three of them, not a patch on older series' stuff but still good.  The last one is the worst of the three but it's basically the Black Mirror version of a teen movie, with added Nine Inch Nails.

Watches the two new episodes of Handmaid's Tale last night - well, one and a half because I was late home.  Good stuff, interesting to see where this season goes but it's lacking a bit of the tension of previous episodes so far.

Gave up on Black Mirror whatever season that Dallas Howard featured. Gone up its own arse trying to be too smart by half.

Watching Preacher now. Not bad. Hadn't read the comics so can't compare.

Will blitz the Handmaid's Tale once it wraps up.

Yeah, there were a couple of decent Black Mirror eps in the first US series, but just nothing compared to the original. And, more generally, I find Brooker's schtick has been overall very incoherent; he just became the very incarnation of the "cynical anti-system" market dollar.

I'm in the minority in that I don't like any of the black mirror episodes. Gave them a go and just didn't like it at all.

're watched the last episode of Chernobyl again last night. What a show.

I'll probably have a  flick over the new black mirror episodes but I won't hold my breadth. They have gotten progressively worse to the point of being just being plain shite.

2 episodes of Chernobyl watched, grim stuff altogether.

Watching The Chef Show on Netflix which is a spin off of the film,  Chef, which was great. The series is John Favreau with the chef who taught him during the making of the movie cooking stuff together,  with celebrities and various other cooks.  It's actually really good.

[John Kimble]

Just one episode into Chernobyl but it's excellent so far, look forward to catching up with the rest. Third season of Handmaid's Tale is also very decent, thought it took a bit of a dip in season two but so far, so good. There's life after Game of Thrones it seems!!

The kids been watching the How to Train Your Dragon series on Netflix and I'm getting pretty engrossed by it, reckon an 18s version of it would be great

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Yeah, Chernobyl was great. A couple of bits were a bit unbelievably "western" (pretty sure a Soviet show trial wouldn't have looked like that, or allowed him carry on with the triumphant truth over lies speech), but as a piece of television, wow.

There was an article in the New Yorker going through loads of the things it got "wrong". I won't post it because it came out too far the other side into thick-headed pedantry, but it references some books which would be interesting to check out.

a friend was telling me today that the russians want to make thier own version of chernobyl as the show painted them badly haha

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

The show does paint them badly alright. They'd be better advised making a tv show about the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in which they could go to town painting the yanks as badly as they want, or pick any number of British orchestrated calamities if they prefer.

I watched Chernobyl again during the week as herself hadnt see it,the scene with the miners bollocks naked cracked me up!,hardy cunts!.

Finally sat down and watched the last episode of Chernobyl. The end section just going over the aftermath of everything was quite depressing.

The thing that struck me as I remember the scene was that everyone who stood on the bridge watching the 'display' died. It was pretty apparent that was going to happen watching the scene but I think just seeing it at the end kind of prods you to remember that they actually died in real life and not just a tv show.

The official death toll still being kept at 31...
