Smashing through season 2 of the sinner. Bill Pullman is even more broken. Good character. Carrie Coon <3. Will finish it tonight so I can get into S2 of Patriot (S1 was best show in recent yrs imho)

Finished. Disappointing.

Homecoming is quite good.

Yes

Indeed. Really liked it. The 26 minute long format works quite nicely here, keeping things focused and to the point.

bodyguard - the biggest british embarrassment since brexit.

The trailers I saw for Homecoming looked interesting but I didn't realize it was a ~30 min or less show, will definitely give it a shot now.

Agreed. And the whole UK media lapped it up. It's like the nation once again got behind something so obviously shite but desperately needed something to belong to so just ignored its absurdity.

I started watching this and loled at how soon the sex scene happened

BBC-One Sunday night Granny pissed as fuck on Sherry fodder?

not exactly rocket science figuring that out is it chaps, what what, like complaining yer Maccy-D's tasted of fecal matter

have a dig for the original (Julia Davis) Camping series &/or Sally4ever, life's too short for BBC- Benzodiazepines, failing these Nighty Night & Hunderby

Mate recommended me Haunting of Hill House (I like supernatural horror). First episode was fucking mental, next two or three were fucking dull.

Hopefully it picks up

the ensemble episode in the funeral parlor was a low low point

the last kingdom is still great with its 3rd season.  from the viking battle brutality and meatheadery to the interplay of court intrigue, politics and religion, all very well done and well written, the dialogues especially have a certain rhythm to them so that they never bore.

production and score are very solid, the world looks and feels true, even if pretty small scale. the acting is kinda over the place though, from the great alfred the king to that new girl that plays the seer who's just godawful.

so basically if you were into got in its early seasons before it went to shit and don't need its pomp, this should be on your radar. not to say it's a got wannabe though, it really does have its own thing when it comes to the general mood of the whole series, it's a bit campy, pulpy, witty, simple and down to earth at the same time, good stuff.

Californication is shit yall

escape at dannemora ep1 -  good cinematography (so good that the line between cinema and tv is even more irrelevant) and acting, but this genre is plain banal at this point, the writing is poor and characterizations (really shows with del torro's character) are shallow.

just finished Hill House. I am not a horror fan by any means but thought it was fantastic

The last episode of Hill House was awful

Holy christ, yes - after an overall really good series, the wrap up had me very disappointed.

Well, it's Ben Stiller directing and writing...

On my to-watch list:

Narcos: Mexico (last three series were really good, so I have high hopes for this one)

Frontier (series 3)

Peaky Blinders (series 5)

Currently watching (when I can find the time):

Doctor Who (series 11)

Durrells in Corfu (just finished series 3)
