I’m quite enjoying Hap and Leonard on Prime TV - it’s kind of a southern noir thing based on some pulpy novels (with Omar from the Wire and Christina Hendricks)

Annoyingly season 3 is not all on there yet and I’m having to watch an episode a week like a chump from 2005

did you stick with this? i just watched the last episode last night, thought it was great

it clearly owes a big debt to “the wire” but enjoyed it all the same

nah that kinda dies away a wee bit, they focus more on the kids and there’s a really good character who appears just after then and kinda picks things up a bit, definitely worth going back to

  • watching the new Roseanne and it’s good
  • watching it and it’s bad
  • not watching it cos of her awful politics on the show / irl

if they are I can’t find it. I am technically a book wanker, but I read it so long ago I’ve only got hazy memories of it (basically forgotten the plot, but still pretty clear on the set up, which I guess is what I guess you’d be curious to see the non-BWs responses to). FWIW I thought the first episode was decent, good enough to keep me watching at any rate.

Got cancelled after one season. :frowning:

finally making my way through mad men. i really, really like it.

Where are you up to?

Really?? They never bail on their shows after just one season… and it was getting better all the time! Ugh.

OMG OMG OMG

near the end of season 6. i detested roger at the start but i’ve grown really fond of him as it’s gone on. don has become a full on piece of shit which is a bit depressing tbh.

Read this as you go…great insight into colours used etc. https://tomandlorenzo.com/tag/mad-style/

Mad Men is my favourite TV of all time I think.

I think season six is probably the show at its bleakest especially with Don’s arc. Roger’s character definitely grows on you but he can still be a total shit like the best / rest of them!

I thought season 3 was absolutely brilliant and the best of the 3, so i’d definitely recommend it.

There is zero Steve Murphy in season 3

this has been great so far, can’t wait for the last episode

We watched all the episodes last weekend. It’s been quite a few years since I read the books, but I liked the programme a lot. There are a few things that they’ve done which I didn’t like, but which I understood the reasons for them doing so, however, I thought that the atmosphere and the way it was shot was terrific.

the tv is into this show called the alienist so i watched one last night. holy hell it was bad. then tried to watch the city and the city but that was so dreadful that neither of us wanted to finish it, so instead i’ve smashed about 8 episodes of the last alaskans on animal planet. great show/10

If I hypothetically wanted to watch a single episode of a TV show hypothetically called Billions, where would I hypothetically do that?

(last night’s episode was honest to god about Netrunner. It had actual Netrunner players in it.)

I need to see this.

Oh fuck it’s on Now TV. Job done.

…I need a lie down.
