I've actually waited my whole life for History of the World Part 2, and now my penis itches.

i havent watched it all yet & it’s kinda 50/50 but seeing Lincoln yell “STEPHEN DOUGLAS’ DICKHOLE” was v worth it

Cocaine Bear, which I guess is just for rent now, thoroughly entertaining and a surprise reunion of three stars of the Americans.

I'm enjoying Daisy Jones and the Six which manages to be both stupid and watchable at the same time

Indeed. Also the oldest 20-somethings I've ever seen.

billy is such a self-defeating dork, it is very enjoyable to watch him grump through every story beat

This Lindelhof 'nun vs the big bad Algorithm' show on Peacock looks fun, too bad I won't have Peacock

Anyone else here want to join in on a watch of Three-Body: a 30-episode adaptation of Liu Cixin's The Three-Body Problem? I was completely pulled in by episode 2 - the first 20 minutes of which spin through existential physicists, pool balls that leave the solar system, someone shooting at two-dimensional life, and turkey scientists. Much of this is in the book, but I think I might like this more.

Is there a hate-watch thread for Daisy Jones and the 6 yet? The comedy stylings of Timothy Olyphant alone should require one.

didn't know about Mrs. Davis. I'm down for it.

xpost i’ll start one!

ok go here for Daisy Jones talk

Fever Dogs and Tambourines maaan - Discuss DAISY JONES AND THE SIX here

I'm intrigued by Three Body, but that is a lot of hours.

Been paying for YoutubeTV for my mom and they just raised the price to $73+tax and stripped out yet another channel recently (MLB Network), she asked me to cancel. Downloaded Comet TV, Tubi and Pluto for her afternoon background noise needs and I'm surprised at how not bad the offerings are on those.

FreeVee is not bad in that regard too

Australian streamer BINGE just decided to introduce ads for paying customers, so fuck them

Britbox has just updated its Goodies catalogue to now include all episodes. Including some rather risque scenes I swear I dont recall seeing on the ABC in the 70s. Mind you, I dont know how it ever flew as a kids show down here to start with.

I love how the shows come with a "comedy standards were different back then lol sorry if this shit's offensive" warning at the start.

A big feature of the Goodies' first tour was showing scenes that had been cut out of the episodes in Australia thirty-five years earlier.

Ha, thats a great set of info!

NEWSREADER: Its speed was estimated by various witnesses to be somewhere between twenty and six thousand miles per hour. [These pictures were taken by a Swedish amateur photographer. (shot of nude girl)]

This was the one I watched this morning. I was like WOAH I do not recall a naked lady in any episode before.

um...

#45, Cunning Stunts - 5 cuts.

Loved "Cunk on Earth," which will forever have a place in my heart for calling the Titanic the world's first single-use submarine. Haven't checked to see if any of her other series' are streaming here ...

I watched a bootleg YouTube of "Cunk on Britain" last night and it was equally or more amusing despite my unfamiliarity with that country.

maybe TED LASSO (2020-) has the weight of expectation on it now which is not a good place for such a slight show but i was not in love with S03E01. i could see the writing on the page. everyone little quip machines. the conflict spelled out in mile high letters.

To me the episode felt like an unnecessary "welcome back" episode. Like, here are these people and what they have been up to, as if anyone watching the third season of the show needs that. But it was otherwise fine.

I got an ad for Ted Lasso on YT the other day and literally the only dialogue was someone saying "I love you guys so much", show sure ain't shy about leaning into its reputation.

I wish these shows would stop leaving it so long between seasons. I stop caring! Ted Lasso, and also Shadow and Bone which I have desperately tried to follow S2 of, and have ZERO idea what the fuck is going on (and dont want to have to rewatch S1 to fix this).

Its one thing to have a break when you had a 20-episode season that went most of the year, but when a season is 5-10 eps dropped all at once, and you watch the lot over a weekend or 2 in march, then wait 2 years for the next? Fuckin.

Is Shadow & Bone worth watching. Netflix is promoting it hard to me (because I watched the Last Kingdom I guess)

idk i quite like Ted Lasso s3 but i feel like one of the few ppl who wasnt disappointed in s2 either

i don’t really need the show to be anything more than what it laid out in s1 and it continues to do that in various forms & i like it

I keep getting ads for VIAPLAY, which is promising me plenty of Nordic noir. I can barely keep up with the Nordic noir on Netflix and Amazon.

Speaking of which, just started s3 of Trapped which is now called Entrapped (and on Netflix.) Still good.

Watched the Bordertown: Mural Murders movie on Netflix, then followed it going back to the original 3 season series. Watched the first series’ first two mysteries (5 eps). Finland set, on the town near Russian border, with an enjoyable Hannibal-esque brilliant investigator who uses a memory house technique to gather and connect facts. First two mysteries are remarkably grim: teenage sx trafficking then teenagers setting up a lethal druggy rave. Need a breather before watching more.

Is Shadow & Bone worth watching.

First season was mostly pretty fun (outside of the superficial treatment of racism), but the finale was particularly momentum-killing. I don't have Netflix anymore so can't say anything about the second season.

I also thought the first season of Shadow and Bone was enjoyable fantasy, aimed at a teenage audience but not cringy like a lot of shows in that vein are. will report back on S2 soon

Halfway through the second season of Shadow & Bone and it's still fun but they definitely seemed to have upped the violence this season

Thought Shadow and Bone S2 was a bit slower but picked up in the last three episodes. And yes, more violent

The Billy Crudup retro-futurist show on Apple+ - 30 minutes that feels like two hours.

Anybody try that new Great Expectations adaptation? I was prepared to skip but then I saw Olivia Colman is in if so now I’m curious

The brains behind that one is Stephen Knight, who was the guy who brought us Peaky Blinders and rogue heroes sas, I’m not a fan but ymmv wrt to that style.

I watched one episode of Bad Sisters and it’s great, will be watching the rest ASAP.

lol peaky blinders dude doing great expectations, wonder if he'll use the south park ending

That’d be Steven* Knight actually

I got all the way to season five of Peaky Blinders before I quit, some of the acting held up for me but it’s just a real joyless slog.

colman only really sneaked in at the end of episode 1, and we've not seen the big messy room yet (my favourite bit)

i only meant to watch the first 5 minutes, ended up watching it all

I enjoyed Rogue Heroes. Was a bit OTT in places but unlike Peaky Blinders it was fun xp

Latest Ted Lasso episode had that weird 70s Italian guy pretending to sing in english as a song in the background! I recognised it right away by its stompy beat/brass stabs.

Watched Spin Me Round on Hulu, a very silly movie that's seems like it's trying to nail a certain late '80s/early '90s tone maybe, and is pretty enjoyable due to the crazy cast (Ben Sinclair, Tim Heidecker, Molly Shannon, Aubrey Plaza, Alison Brie, Zach Woods, Ayden Mayeri).

i watched s1 of Only Murders In The Building and I'm pissed off that "Tim Kono" being an anagram of "Im Not OK" wasn't any sort of clue.

YMP: thats the one!

If anybody besides me has not yet seen Jordan Peele's NOPE, it is now streaming free on Amazon.

"free on Amazon" lol

The great Adriano Celentano. Françoise Hardy tells a story of being in a song contest with him and, upon learning he hadn't won, Celentano instantly getting in his car and driving straight into a wall.
