I've just seen this in my 'new TV shows' list and I had a think on it, but I think I'll have a look now!

I'm trying to get into Succession for a second (or third time). I keep hearing people raving about it so I'm assuming it gets better after it's pretty iffy start! Far too many cringeworthy characters that are making me want to hide behind the sofa... especially Macaulay Culkin's little brother. I'm only about 4 in.. gotta stick with it a bit.

It's shit.

Trust your instincts when your vibes on a show ain't sitting with you.

Started watching Legion last night - it’s a 3 season Marvel production and I had a notion that it’d be something I had on in the background while messing about doing other things - I honestly didn’t expect it to be so good . . I just watched 3 episodes and did sod all else.

It’s from back in 2017 so all the Marvel fans will have seen it for sure but IMO the direction and acting is top notch so it should be enjoyable to many.
Impressions so far are; well grounded action adventure sci-fi fantasy with hints of one flew over the cuckoo‘s nest and K-Pax in the mix.
Well chuffed to have another 24 episodes ahead of me.

Rated the show's ambition from day one! It's interpretation of the comics is truly interesting, but it's, mostly, brilliantly realised!

You DO have to track it, because it can lose you further in!

Good luck in the maze!

Blockbuster was really... bad. Only gave it a chance because I like both the leads but I found it to be completely devoid of any real humour, it was the kind of comedy that would have passed on CBBC ten years ago maybe.

Felt like a spinoff of Superstore, which I also think isn't really funny enough to be a sitcom, so I wasn't surprised to see that the showrunner was involved with Superstore.

Best comedy of the last few years has been letterkenny for me (except the fartbook episode)

I’m enjoying too Kaz. Only slight criticism was the way some of them suddenly aged between episodes which confused me.

bit confusing , one or two looked the same and the queen looked younger than the character was ten years ago , took me an episode to settle back into it with lots of heads changed lol

great series, gutted he stopped it.

It also started off with a 'Mockumentary' film called the Magician where he played the same character.

Only found this on youtube (poor quality)

That helps, thanks.
He gets referred to as “The Magician”, at some point in season 3 I think, and I didn’t have a clue as to why.
