Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
Yeah, really hoping Netflix adds the other seasons of Ash soon.
I'm still mainly working my way through Always Sunny, which I've become mildly obsessed with. So good.
Afterwards I've got my eye on Umbrella Academy, which is supposed to be good. Anyone watching that?

Just watched After life (Ricky Gervais) last night. Well, this morning actually by the time I'd finished. I loved it

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
So... did anyone else see the Michael Jackson documentary on C4 the other night?
I've watched the first half (it's long, two 90-minute episodes), will catch the other tonight or tomorrow probably.
I always tended on the side of 'yeah, he totally did it' when talking about the allegations down the years, but even in my family my parents have always maintained 'no, he's just a child emotionally and mentally, there's nothing in it'. But even I was shocked at the graphic detail the two men (then boys) went into, and the abuse certainly went even further than I'd thought.
Pretty shocking stuff. Have read a few op-ed pieces on the back of the documentary predicting this will be America's 'Savile moment'. It's been coming.

I always sided with the "Yeah, he did" (not seen the documentary) purely because you don't pay out $30m or however much it was unless reasons.Sly Boots wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2019 11:55 amSo... did anyone else see the Michael Jackson documentary on C4 the other night?

This. If he was innocent I would have thought he'd say "Fuck you, do your worst". I'd guess he paid to stop past offences being uncovered. The excuse that his lawyers said paying up would be cheaper than fighting it doesn't hold water, what price do you put on your reputation?

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
I'm with you guys, but the willingness of people to believe in his innocence even now is almost as shocking as what he did. The two guys who were interviewed for the documentary are apparently receiving death threats, which is sickening.

I'm not that surprised, there are people who think the world is flat, the Earth is resplendent with all kinds of idiots nowadays.

I guess. It's just disappointing to see so many people's opinion being "I like his music, therefore he did nothing wrong".DjchunKfunK wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 3:40 pmI'm not that surprised, there are people who think the world is flat, the Earth is resplendent with all kinds of idiots nowadays.

I almost keeled over with laughter at CGI young Alan Partridge being beaten last night, then followed by the correct guide to spanking children as hard as possible, ably demonstrated by Alan himself in slow motion.
This Time is a bit uneven in places, but there's loads of gems in this show.

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
I watched the first episode and it felt like rather typical Gervais fare and that wore on me a long time ago. I might give the next episode a shot but I'm not that convinced so far.
Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
FWIW the review in The Guardian said they found the first episode hard to get through but the series really picked up after that and they found the ending in particular quite affecting.DjchunKfunK wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2019 9:36 amI watched the first episode and it felt like rather typical Gervais fare and that wore on me a long time ago.

I've still not started watching it yet, though.

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
I guess that's promising.
Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
We watched the first 3 episodes and really enjoyed them, looking forward to the rest.
