Here’s the old thread (which ended with a poll about whether or not we should start a new thread but then I decided to just go ahead and do it regardless):
This thread is for discussing any show you watch this year, regardless of when it came out. Please take care with spoilers and so on.

Anyway. I’m currently watching so much Drunk History, love love love it! Also need to catch up a bit on Vikings (which I was also talking about in the OP of the last thread!). And The Crown s2.
Didn’t want to watch it because of the title, but McMafia was okay. You’ve got to sort of pretend dramas from virtually every other country don’t exist, but if you can do that you’re alright.
I’ve become very involved in it, but it’s not Great Television™. It’s pretty silly in some ways but has still managed to get me to this level of involvement so it’s clearly doing something right.
Still not sure about this season after you know who disappeared off the show, though.
On The Crown now, the episode with Lord Altrincham and that whole ordeal. How bloody fast do Charles and Anne grow up this season!? Seems they’re about twice the age now that they were at the beginning of the same season!
watched the first ep and i thought it was pretty bad tbh. obviously i hate everything but the tv thought it was pretty bad as well so didn’t bother carrying on.
are you talking about gabriel byrne? thought he was one of the worst things in it somehow usually like him.
it took a little while for it to finds its feet in fairness, but yr man ragnar becomes really quite magnetic. and gabe byrne wasn’t great but he does get offed fairly early on
You should definitely, definitely try the Norwegian piss-take Norsemen (was filmed in both Norwegian and English and is available over there afaik). Have mentioned it several times, found it really, really funny.
Watched all of that C4 series ‘The End of the F***king World’ yesterday (their apostrophes). Strange, bleak, absurdist coming-of-age story like a more English, bitter John Green novel in TV series form. It was really weird and there was lots of gory violence worth a watch if only to see what the state of, like, young adult fiction is these days.
