Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
Yeah, agree with that. It's an interesting one, but DFWC is a lot more gripping. It might differ if you know anything about American Football, though, which I don't. I'd never heard of the guy before.

Norsemen
Yeah this is good. I'd almost call it a mixture of Blackadder and The Office via Vikings.

I will get 'round to watching that at some point. On a vaguely similar note, I'm just finishing off The Last Kingdom (I think I have 2 episodes left to go), which was recommended by my history-buff step-dad. I've certainly enjoyed it, but it has at times felt a little like a soap opera which I wasn't really expecting.

The books are fantastic mate, well worth your time.

Jim Henson’s The Storyteller
It’s on Amazon prime and I love this so fucking much. The puppets are awesome, John Hurt is wonderful, the stories are equal parts lovely and daft and the utter crappy cheapness of the effects is embraced. It’s one of the most charming things ever.

I used to love that as a kid. Haven't sought it out as an adult as I wasn't sure if it would still hold up, but reading that may give it a go now on Prime.

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
I finished watching this a week or two back, and overall the journey the characters and I endured was excellent. Some tough watching in there, but it didn't overstay its welcome and the ending was pretty satisfying.

It's about two horrible people trying to bumble through a relationship, though the second season concentrates on one of them having depression and that was a bit too real for me. I'm into season 4 now and it's still going strong, season 5 is the last which only finished in April this year. Not sure how I'd never heard of it before.

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
Started watching Ozark last night after seeing positive comments about it. Only watched the first two episodes, but enjoying it. Feels slightly odd watching a show where there are no characters to root for as everyone is awful, but I guess that's what they were going for. Similar to Breaking Bad I suppose, but Bryan Cranston played Walter White with such charisma you kind of rooted for him in spite of the fact he was objectively an awful human being.

Always rooted for Ruthie. She’s awful but she’s adorably awful.

She was only really introduced at the end of the one we saw last night

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
The Good Place just ended. Great show from start to finish. It's best to watch it "cold", so to speak, but the tl;dr is this (thanks, Wikipedia!):
Fantastic TV, can't recommend it enough. It's on Netflix.The series focuses on Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell), who wakes up in the afterlife and is introduced by Michael (Ted Danson) to "the Good Place", a highly selective Heaven-like utopia he designed, as a reward for her righteous life. However, she realizes that she was sent there by mistake and must hide her morally imperfect behavior while trying to become a better and more ethical person.

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
Have absolutely loved it from start to finish. Felt very bittersweet ending it - the finale itself is great and there was definitely a speck of dust in my eyes as final farewells were being said, but I'm going to miss it terribly.Drarok wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2020 12:49 pmThe Good Place just ended.

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
I really enjoyed it from start to finish too. And I'm glad that Michael Schur didn't try to push it for any longer than it ran. I'm a little sorry there won't be any more but I don't think it could have maintained such a standard if they had dragged it on.
