Topic: Dave's TV Snobbery Topic with added Low Brow Self Indulgences

[Trada]

Started to watch Pokerface it's strange sometimes she reminds me of columbo.

I'm sure at some point she is going to say "just one more thing"

[Lee1-6Liv]

Season one of The Mosquito Coast was pretty good. I’m sure I posted on here about it. Season two is absolutely dreadful. Genuinely one of the most boring shows I’ve seen. Depressingly dull.

Lasted two episodes of season 2 and gave up.

Currently watching Devs, enjoying it, the soundtrack is off the wall.

Watching Underground Railway on Prime and don't know how I missed this. Brutal but compelling.

That's been on my list for ages but have to be in the right frame of mind to get through things like that as I get upset.

Have you seen The Good Lord Bird? It's very good, although hard to watch sometimes. Told through the eyes of an escaped slave who meets John Brown.

Devs is absolutely epic tv from start to finish. Enjoy

Binged watch Slow Horses season 1 this week. Brilliant. Is season 2 as good?

Not much between them.  It's more of the same which is all good.

Had to turn The Ark off after five minutes the acting was that bad.

We were same but around 15 mins.

Truly awful from Syfy.

[Egyptian36]

Just finished watching Outer Range and my reaction after every episode is wtf is happening? and even if you watched the whole season 3 or 4 times your reaction will be the same, I have sooo many questions. Even after watching fan made theories about this show still I don't understand what the hole is or anything.

Cheers and added to my list. I agree they can be tough to watch but they do grab my attention.

Nice,didn't realise it was back.

S1 was quality tv.

Season 2 confirmed but don't know when. Hopefully we will get answers to some of mysteries

Well you twat  You had me thinking it was coming soon.

The original seasons are brilliant. The Netflix reboot just wasn’t the same, even with the original actress.

Just finished watched the first three seasons and really enjoyed it. I'll watch the fourth series as I think she's a brilliant actress. Only just realised that she was in The Accident (C4 show with Sarah Lancashire)

Agree about Mosquito Coast, thrill a minute in the first series but series two was dull in comparison

[kaesarsosei]

Finished Fargo Season 2 now.

It probably slightly edges S1 for me, right up there with the very best TV ever made.

Question about Hanzee and his final scene:

Spoiler

Are they suggesting he is actually the Billy Bob Thornton character from S1? Also I am pretty sure the two kids playing baseball at the end (and getting bullied) were the two hit men sent to kill BBT in S1 as kids.

Yes great TV. It’s all connected. Regarding Hanzee

Loved episode 5 of pokerface

I could watch a whole series about Joyce and Irene the 2 psychos and their adventures in that old people's home full of great characters

Some of the scenes seemed to be ad-libbed in this episode

And I have to say it again but columbo the way she taps her head sometimes before she speaks

Can I get Peacock on Sky?

Peacock was soft-launched in the UK and Ireland on 16th November 2021, promising a variety of entertainment shows including The Girl in the Woods, Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock, Superstore, Below Deck and The Real Housewives. However, the service is only available on Sky's platforms, including Sky Q, Sky Glass and NOW

Oooh, natasha Lyonne.  Bloody loved her in Russian Doll.  Great cast with Adrien Brody and Ron Perlman too.

he's trending on Twitter, thought he'd died or something but he's supposedly teaming up with his daughter and they are going to run a boutique hotel

Series 4 of "Fauda" fucking rules. Please don't make us wait another three years for the next one.

just started watching the first season on Netflix last night, watched the first four episodes and i'm hooked, wanted to watch more but had to get to bed!

Series 2 of Clarkson's Farm is out today

I am looking forward to Gerald and his dry stone walling

[kaesarsosei]

I know there are more important things in the world to take a stand over, but I won't watch anything with Clarkson in it again after his Meghan comments.

[.adam]

I won't watch anything with Clarkson in because his style of humour was last funny around 15 years ago.

Brilliant news!! Will watch over the weekend.

Right. I did enjoy this show but his comments were sickening.

[Qston]

His comments were appalling I agree. I will still enjoy this show though - some of the people in it are great and it does inform about the challenges farmers face as well.

[AndyInVA]

The Capture.

Series 1 was good but it just seemed a good spy type drama.

Series 2 has been great. Really enjoyed every episode.

[AndyInVA]

Clarksons farm is an enjoyable fun watch about farming in the British Countryside.

Some absolute bull shit comes out of his mouth. It was offensive about Meghan (an alive and well attention seeking celeb), but not sure it reaches my bull shit meter to never watch someone who makes funny programs again.

[Hedley Lamarr]

Wasn't Jeremy Clarkson a massive twat before the Meghan stuff ?  Punching a runner, plenty of shite that could be considered racist, actually using the 'N' word.  Shouldn't that reach someone's 'bullshit' meter ?

[Nitramdorf]

A new Spartacus series is in the works.

He’s always been the same. Just don’t understand the appeal of his shows either. I can’t stand heavily scripted stuff that tries to look natural.

[sinnermichael]

Bob Mortimer on WILTY should be a national holiday. David Mitchell genuinely needs therapy after every episode
