by the way, OJ Simpson TV fans, if you want a bit more you should really check out ESPN’s original documentary on it, which shows the OJ car chase as it was happening on tv along side several other notable sporting events such as the opening of the USA 94 World Cup (might need a VPN Unblocker)

the 12 Monkeys remake is quite bad

#660

I think it’s a popular show due to the characters being depicted strike a note of familiarity with the audience and that we can see traits in say Lindsay, Sam or Nick etc that may remind of us people we went to school with. And they may not be always be likeable because heck did you get on with everyone that you were in sat classes day after day with? :smile:

Anyway I’m glad you that you at least like Bill, he was easily my favourite character too!

Is this because there usually has to be say a ‘lesson learnt’ by the end of each episode?

Can’t believe he’s written the new Spiderman film

Just finished Game of Thrones season five. It starts okay and the action scene at hardhome is mint, but it’s really rough going. The show’s problematic treatment of women has been extensively ocumentated already, but I think this season is particularly bad and has some deep, deep misogyny within its lazy writing. Glad the sixth season improved things a bit.

Finished OJ: Made in America last night and it is truly fascinating, been a while since I’ve seen such a gripping documentary (making a murderer comes to mind)

Has anyone watched Big Little Lies? The first episode is godawful but I love Laura Dern so feel oddly obliged to stick with it.

The new series of Samurai Jack is bloody brilliant, especially to look at. Absolutely gorgeous. Great storytelling, too.

Just watched the first episode of Santa Clarita Diet. It might be the worst thing I’ve ever seen.

Still watching Helix. It might be the worst syfy show yet.

I finished it on Saturday

fucking hell its a bit crap innit? Like nothing really happened? I don’t even know why I watched series 2 when series 1 was also quite uneventful and depressing (not in an entertaining way).

I turned that off after about 5 mins in. Precisely when she vommed everywhere

I just thought Gus was completely socially awkward and that’s why he did everything he did.

Been watching loads of Bob’s Burgers out of sequence. It has that same warmth to it that I got from Parks & Rec. Kind of glad there’s just loads of episodes of it that I’ve not seen, so I can just record / watch it whenever it’s on and see something I’ve not seen before.

I’d started watching Love on Netflix too, but haven’t got past the first episode.

Also, having just remembered. I really recommend that This Country thing that’s on the iPlayer right now. My expectations were kind of low, because it seemed a bit derivative of other mockumentaries in a lot of ways; but it really surprised me by how funny it was, and how it resonates with that British small-town loneliness really well.

OK so I’m 14 eps in now and have warmed up to it somewhat. I still have the same issues with it - still can’t honestly say I like any of the characters apart from Bill (MAYBE Millie and Ken too?) even on a general level, and some of the dialogue/plot points are super forced/unbelievable (especially the thing with the jerk being vocal about being super jel of the geeks? no freakin way), but it’s watchable enough. although partly because there are fewer instances of “Oh! Hi, Cindy!” at the moment.

i guess it’s just lacking the bite of Mean Girls, Election, Easy A etc, or the quotability/likeability of Clueless.

Love has completely charmed me. Done both series in the past week.
