What TV Shows Are You Watching?

[Fwiffo]

I'm watching The Chef show with Jon Favreau. Something to have on in the background. That and the Letterman show on Netflix.

Does anyone remember Jon Stewart?

Does that look like Jon Stewart?

Finished season 2 of this last night. I can't remember much about S1 as I watched it a while back. This is somewhat based on the true story of a Canadian mobster/family and the competition coming after their business.

S2 was ok. The ending is what I didn't like.

3/5.

i thought s1 kind of petered out at the end so i never really bothered with s2. glad to hear i made the right choice.

watched s2 of Vida. some good nudity but it really sort of took a dive with the characters. not sure if it'll make it to s3.

warrior s1 was really good. from the creator of Banshee.

Yeah. I watched S1 a while back and was tempted to re-watch before starting S2. I didn't remember anything memorable about it so I didn't bother. S2 is ok. Nothing groundbreaking but worth a watch if you get around to it. I finished it on Thurs/Sat night.

My Sunday night viewing plan! Thanks

Edit: just watched first two eps of Vida. Seems a little cliched, but the sisters are beautiful.

yeah the older sister is very annoying. they really don't move the needle much as characters. you see them naked way more in S2

final season 3 of jessica jones was awful

I only started watching that because you mentioned it but I stopped after Luke Cage showed up.

The Prime Minister debates on Channel 4 and BBC.

It is soundbite TV with no depth. Boris Johnson wisely gave Channel 4 a swerve.

He did appear on BBC but suffered no damage. So it’s as you were.

Interesting that BBC featured a question from Mad Muslim Cleric with a dodgy past about Islamophobia. Now there is no time to dismiss this on a programme of this nature. So they all promised an investigation. The interviewer claimed Boris was Islamophobic not to remember the questioners name. That is the angle they take. Anyway here is what Guido Fawkes discovered.

Another dodgy Asian questioner is a Labour HQ staffer. Great vetting from the BBC.

Nearly finished S1. I might skip through S2 for the nakedness.

The younger sister is cute in a Mexi Eliza Dushku kinda way, even with the Frieda eyebrows, though the script calls for fake boobs and I think hers are real.

Its kind of hard to tell

Watching season 3 of this on Youtube. I re-watched S1 - S2 on Friday & Sat.

I dig this series. I generally like the British dramas better than what the US puts out. This isn't a drama....more so a comedy/semi drama....but it is worth a watch.

Really quick 25 min episodes. Billie Piper is very good in this role.

Is Cherie Lunghi still the madam?

 

[Fwiffo]

I finished Jon Favreau's new chef show on Netflix. I now understand how he physically grew from when he was the suave millionaire romance of Courtney Cox's Monica on Friends.

 

[ter1413]

Is Cherie Lunghi still the madam?

Yup.

 

[Pimpernel Smith]

Yup.

At one time she was a serious babe in her sexual prime, I'm thinking of the Level 42 video era, now she's claimed the throne from Helen Mirren as the thinking man's glamourous and sexual grandmother. And I think we should appreciate that, just look at Jenny Agutter in comparison.

Always get a laugh or two out of Detectorists.

Bad dubbing and started kinda cliched. Not sure I’ll make it past ep1, though I need something new to watch.

Thanks

I ended up spending an hour trying to decide what to watch while also surfing various fora before going to sleep having watched nothing. Sometimes I can be way too fussy about what I start.

I may try Chernobyl or Good Omens tonight.

Youtube:
-Sherlock Holmes movies w/Basil Rathbone

These days I find myself bored with eating in restaurants no matter how good alone, so in general when I am away with no entertaining or colleagues I end up getting the hotel room service with the house wine, raiding the mini-fridge and watching exactly that: Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes, old Hammer films, Horror omnibuses and other films and serials that have fallen out of renewed copyright laws. It all makes sense when you're alone in a hotel room, disengaged and waiting for the next flight back to reality. I find it quite therapeutic and relaxing.

Friends and The Office are the two most watched TV shows on Netflix. I was reading some pundit scream the irony.

I may have watched a total of 3 episodes of Friends and never saw The Office.

Couldn’t make it through the second episode.

Sweetbitter is back for season 2. It’s beautifully filmed and well made. The two girls are rather attractive and the storyline is ... ok.

Has anyone watched Stranger Things on Netflix?

None of us had watched any of it until season 3 came out a little while ago. Then my wife started watching and compulsively finished all three seasons in just a few days! Now my early teenage son is interested, mainly because my wife talked about it so much (well, and also because she spent three days virtually glued to the iPad!).

I think Rambo is a fan. It certainly has a following here, though I haven’t been inspired by anything I’ve heard to try it.

The first season was fantastic. The second season was good. I thought this last season it was getting really stale and boring to be honest. Its definitely worth a watch though. Certainly nothing else worth watching on.

You and Leit should have binge watched on the couch together.

The Boys will hopefully be good. The comic was great

I couldn’t get past the second episode. Good caste, awful story, script and production.

Trailer for The Boys looks really good.
