i used to love the young ones so much when i was 14 odd. its one of those programs where i remember vividly how exciting and unique seeing the advert made me feel. i watched it again a couple of years ago and its absolutely ridiculous. rip big rik.

yeah it hasn't aged well at all.

bottom faired better, still great.

Just watched the last couple of Barry episodes, really fucking good. great premise, fantastic execution, even the bit players are nailing their characterisations, everyone has a story. mostly just filled with genuine lols tho,

Handmaid's Tale.

Pretty good for the most part. I read the book about 10 years ago, not Atwood's best imo.

It feels a little bit like the flipside of the 'this is the future liberals want' mentality. Horror fantasy for people with septum piercings who spend all their time on leftbook groups.

6 episodes in.

Was interesting to read the book was originally inspired by the Iranian revolution and Reagan's America.

Legion was well trippy last night. Very much enjoyed. Naked Aubrey Plaza was a bonus. 

Semi-binged through the Netflix reboot of Lost In Space pretty quickly, not bad... Nothing too deep, but pretty fun watch, decent acting, and Molly Parker has kinda a MILFy attractiveness.



 

New Cobra Kai series has just released.

wtf, this is a portuguese beer, but they swapped the brand's name with cerveja which means beer translated to english:

obviously just avoiding product placement. ive not noticed any in legion. im incredibly oblivious to product placement at the best of times though.

The Looming Tower - pro's & cons, excellent at reincorporating OBL footage into a dramatic production, the individual stories of certain key & minor players (the kid in the boat ffs, that was hard to watch), blended with clunky inter-agency rivalry plot-lines which could be retold with a lot more heft

 

Jeff Daniels is good, its more nuanced than fkn Homeland, eg: how recruits are/were derived from US militaristic misadventures & the introduction of Mohamed Atta brought the focus right in, but it can meander & chunks come across like national confession-box hand wringing when the lessons clearly havent been learned

 

I had no idea they made it into a tv series. Book is great.

hey, this was actually really enjoyable. it's cheesy as hell and don't expect any good martial arts choreography- but it's like a really dumb dreamwave movie staring the karate kid and his nemsis (forget his name)- in present day los angeles (burbank). there's even a scene where the guy (the nemsis) is watching iron eagle. c'mon man- i think that's the part where i said: no more beer, i'm switching to bourbon.

yup. it's dumb. it's FREE on youtube. and it's karate kid. anyone remember bmx bikes and just how important those things were? you owe yourself this if you know what i mean.

also episode 2 is free but haven't watch that yet. 

p.s. least favorite actor so far is daniel larusso. he's kind of annoying. 

also gotta mention- it has a strange drive-in quality movie to it. that cheap 2 movies for 1 deal with a very over processed color palette. recommended for the eyeballs if they like cheese

^^ argh episode two was also good. more cheesy and stupid but WTF? i'm really enjoying this. someone please help me!!!

It is really quite fun. Unfortunately in the UK there's no Youtube Red subscription (and thus no free trial); having to shell out £1.89 per episode brings the series to £15.

unfortunate and i totally agree. it's a really fun show. i'm honestly considering paying for youtube red to finish this show. sometimes i just want to have a good time watching something. shame the episodes are so short but maybe that's also a good thing

hope you find the full series as well and please keep me informed on your enjoyment (or dislike)

stop being a little bitch and pirate it. 

Slowly catching up on Legion season 2, and I'm thrilled that the show seems to still be firing on all cylinders. Also, teeth are terrifying.

atlanta is amazing. u-mad?

Finished it on Youtube. The quality remains consistent throughout the ten episodes, so if you liked the first two then you'll like the rest. Some people are saying that they're worried about season 2, and I can see why if the producers follow through in a by-the-numbers way on what's been telegraphed. Hopefully they won't since they pulled off the first season quite nicely.

Currently watching Baskets season 3, still loving the shit out of this show, keeps improving with each season.

The Terror - Lovely episode last night. My favorite episode of the series. Some nice sequences, especially Jared Harris' speech and filming of the gallows sequence. 

Arrested Development returns May 29

I've been enjoying this even though it's bleak/terrifying as fuck. I haven't read the book, but I heard that s2 continues the story from where the book ends? I don't imagine it ending well either way.

I couldn't even get through all of the first episode of this season, I felt like it was weird for the sake of being weird.. but hmm, maybe I might just suddenly have the desire to pick it up again :P
