Inside Man.
What an amazing first episode. Pretty unexpected plot so far.

The one with David Tennant? One of the stupidest shows I've ever seen.

I think it start great and just gets too weird, I dont regret watching it though

Always Sunny…

I think I’m on S2E6. It’s ok, funny in parts for me. Not blown away or finding it hysterical. Does it get significantly better? It’s really highly rated, I know.

I didn’t enjoy S1 of Schitts Creek and people on here told me to stick with it and I did and was so grateful. It was brilliant S2 onwards.

I'm a big fan of the show and am rewatching it atm. In my opinion S1 is poor, S2 a mixed bag and it fully hits it stride in S3. If you get to the end of S2 and aren't enjoying it then it might not be for you though.

Thought the second season of Alice in Borderland was great, glad I waited to watch it until I could give it my full attention.

best thing I saw last year. It takes risks, which is a sign of a well written drama for me.

Pleaes let me know what you think when its finished

[tubby]

Inside Man was just... I've never seen a show where literally every character makes the most braindead decision possible every step of the way.

Agreed. Hopefully they make another.

Nice, watched the first a few weeks ago so looking forward to this.

[Fitzy.]

Anyone else watch The Sinner? I’m on season 4. I really enjoyed season 1 and got through second and third seasons ok but struggling to get into this one.

Yeah, like you I enjoyed Series 1, endured series 2, then fucked it off

Decided to give Community a go - gave up after 5 episodes. A couple of chuckles along the way, but just didn’t find it very funny at all.  Disappointing.

[Pistolero]

A tiny bit disappointed with the first two episodes, the plot moved at warp speed which has left the setting, for me one of the best parts of each of the first three seasons, sort of unimportant/underdeveloped. Think focusing more on the life of a Muslim populace in a major European city would have been very effective.

Still Fauda, still good, still Nurit  , but feels sort of rushed, thrown together...

Watched the first two eps....terrific imo.....breakneck speed but deliberately so.....looking forward to the rest of it

Exactly. Like I get that unrealistic things have to happen in programmes to develop a story and move it along, but Inside Man just takes it way too far. There are about a dozen times when any slightly logical decision would have put an end to everything. It got increasingly difficult for me to suspend my disbelief.

You should stick with it. As with many shows like this, it takes a while to warm to the characters and for it to really hit its stride.

Is Doron still the most unlikeliest ladies man?

[Fitzy.]

I think it's ok. A bit gentle and not hilarious but it is pretty sharp and well-written with a strong cast. That said, I can see how it's not a hit with a lot of folk.

Series 3 has Alison Brie in a skimpy Santa outfit.

Which episode? (Purely for research purposes only, you understand  )

Which episode? (Purely for research purposes only, you understand  )

Think its episode 10, though not sure as ive only watched it 300 times or so. On youtube theres also a clip of her doing it at an audition, just type in her name and Santa baby. 

[Barefoot Doctor]

Community starts as quite a straightforward sitcom, but it's not really until the end of Season 1 that it hits its stride. Then Season 2 is just phenomenal stuff.

[tubby]

I mean, just watch Glow if you want to see Brie, she's literally dancing topless in one scene.

[Fitzy.]

The daft thing about Alison's Brie's character in Community is that I think she's meant to be pretty unsuccessful with men and broadly unappealing...or at least certainly not particularly enticing.

I know  I’ve just got to an episode where she says she’s only had sex once and has never properly seen a penis.  There’s suspending disbelief, but that’s taking it too far!

[AndyMuller]

Brie is a goddess but she’s with that lemon Dave Franco in real life.

Up to episode 4 and it's really good after being indifferent to first episode.

Any clips on YouTube?

It's a Netflix show if you've got that.

Yeah but is the show even worth watching just to see a topless Brie 

[tubby]

Actually, the first season is pretty good.  Thought it fell off the rails a bit in the second and sacked it off, but my missus called me in to show me dancing Brie because she knows what's up.

Your missus sounds good fun 

[rob1966]

So I Googled while I was sitting on the couch eating my tea and the missus pipes up "why are you looking at pictures of that naked woman?"

The scene between Bumpy and Tommy in this weeks Godfather of Harlem is up there with some of the greatest ever,two actors at the top of their game.

I liked the first season, but the second season was a big step up in storytelling. Really worth the watch.

Started Ozark earlier this week, got the last episode of season 1 to go. Really enjoying it so far.

[Scottymuser]

Decided to give Community a go - gave up after 5 episodes. A couple of chuckles along the way, but just didn’t find it very funny at all.  Disappointing.

Community's first season doesn't hit it's stride really until episode 9 or so - the fifth episode if the first one it shows signs of how weird it can become (with the scene in the swimming pool) but it does not do it particularly well; episode 7 does it better, but then episode 9 is great.

For my money, from about that point, until the end of season 3, is up there with the greatest runs of episodes of any American show EVER, not just comedies.  So so many all time classics.

Yeah season 2 and 3 are absolutely great. It then suffers a bit with the writing team leaving, and then truly diminishes when Donald Glover departs.

Season 4 was so much worse than season 5/6 though - even post Glover was better than even the peaks of the Gas Leak Year.  Losing Dan as the show runner really, really hurt them.

Poker Face. Natasha Lyonne is brilliant and whodunnit stories are noirish enough for my taste.

Poker Face. Natasha Lyonne is brilliant and whodunnit stories are noirish enough for my taste.

Natasha Lyonne is brilliant and I enjoyed the first episode but was really disappointed to see it turn into this generation's Murder She Wrote. I dunno it feels like a wasted opportunity with the cast and story to take it in that direction.
