TV Series

Yeh the Stranger is bit odd. Only watched it to see what it was like but there's some sketchy acting going (often happens when you put comedians in straight roles).
Might watch a bit more (more due to spotting locations now) but hmmm...Cold Feet meets Line of Duty?

I wondered where it was filmed? could have googled it I suppose.
 
'Home' is a decent enough light hearted (kind of bearing in mind the subject matter) series on channel 4 catchup i think - well worth a watch with half hour episodes
 
I finished the first season of The Righteous Gemstones.

It’s a decent enough show but I’m struggling to fathom why so many penises (literal) are shown throughout.
 
Finished watching series 2 of Narcos: Mexico this week - brilliant

those who haven’t got round to any of the Narcos series give it a go it will have you hooked (a little like the product they produce does lol)

Remember to start with Narcos (charts the rise and fall of Escobar and then leads into the Cali Cartel) 3 series in all.

then watch Narcos:Mexico after
 
Been watching how to get away with murder on Netflix. Despise the timeline thing, starting halfway through the story then using flashbacks back to build up to it whilst giving you 10 second bites of the present every episode before finally reaching the present 2/3rd’s of the way through the season is such a shit way of telling a story. It also thinks it’s a lot cleverer show than it really is and there’s too much law jargon which I accept is a weird criticism for a lawyer/courtroom based show but despite those criticisms I’m hooked and it’s very easy to watch multiple episodes in a row.

I mean, it's a sitcom so there's very little "thread", but by season 8, the jokes are wearing thin and the ideas have gone.

I'm basically watching this last season out of obligation more than anything else.
 
Just finished the stranger, last episode kind of disappointed with the ending, but not too much as at least it left me feeling something, unlike far too many things I've tried to watch recently.

Made me laugh though as people i work with now think Stockport is something glamourous with it's market Hall and evident 'park where you want' policy ala the stranger. Didn't quite capture the hands down joggers brigade and fights outside maccy D's,maybe it is all fisticuffs outside the artisanal foody market nowadays. Get a better class of brawler when you pay a tenner for a burger on a...uegh.. brioch bun.

Took the step to delete the backlog of walking dead off my planner, not going to watch it as lost interest around early S9 and pretty much waching only streamed things for months now.

That feeling as the free space percentage went back below 80%... ahhhh ...

Some of the novelty wears off last couple seasons. But it manages to stay funny throughout generally. They can stop at any point, but given that people continue to watch it, they continue to make it. Gets a bit repetitive, but still manages the laugh out loud moments every so often. The short format helps it.
