Camp 286 Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Fleabag is pretty much a perfect series. The only flaw is making the viewer want more. Angel P and Magness 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iainl 691 Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Two series is good. PWB is still producing such phenomenal work that I’d rather she continue to bring us new things, rather than run one idea until it falls apart. Magness 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I feared Fleabag would founder into obscurity after it seemed to garner mediocre reviews on Prime (I think the star rating at the time was just over 3). Finally, the critics and awards shows have recognized the brilliance of this show and of Waller-Bridge. The Emmys for acting and writing are absolutely deserved (although I wouldn't have faulted the show if JL Dreyfus won a comedy acting Emmy again). The only short-change I think is not recognizing the supporting actors, in particular Sian Clifford who plays her sister.

Robot Monkey 510 Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Yeah, but what about my gritty remake of Small Wonder, starring Ashton Kutcher as the dad and Millie Bobbie Brown as the robot girl? jubjub75 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogbert 1,376 Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 Bake! The first few episodes of Great British Bake Off are an exercise in thinning the herd to give some room to the obvious personalities that'll dominate.. But today's had some extra drama that quickly passed, and a setup that's really going to tug on the heart strings - six/seven weeks of isolation in a hotel with the cast, crew & judges instead of the normal setup. It felt like the fake drama knob had been turned down a notch or two, and I'd love to see that continue alongside some growth between the judges & crew... They saw a lot more of each other - including bingo & karaoke sessions with Matt Lucas apparently... Magness 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kelley 840 Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 I imagine Matt Lucas can kill some karaoke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iainl 691 Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 He certainly killed the intro. So far, at least, I’m much preferring him on this to Toksvig as a foil for Fielding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JoeyN 1,315 Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 I’ve started watching GBBO in the last month or so, and just got to the season when the changes happened and was caught completely off guard. Thought I turned on the wrong show at first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robot Monkey 510 Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 The two ladies from earlier GBBO shows have a show where they play inept Hitmen. It's pretty funny in small doses: JoeyN 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iainl 691 Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 I’ve not seen Hitmen yet, as we don’t have Sky. But I’ve been a big Mel & Sue fan since the early days of Light Lunch, so it’s bound to be my sort of thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogbert 1,376 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 The 80s episode of "The Years That Changed Scotland" hits home far too much. The destruction of Ravenscraig immediately followed up by DMA Design/Lemmings? Wow. This is the most down to earth/realistic modern history of Scotland I've seen in a long time. Yuill & Dodds.... Wow. Extremely local to me in Motherwell. And a fantastically Scottish soundtrack from that time that weren't necessarily relevant outside of Scotland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robot Monkey 510 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Finished Hitmen and I enjoyed the first 2-3 episodes in small doses. The last couple overstayed it's welcome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any word on where it will be streaming in the US? Is Acorn still a thing? I used a trial of that to watch the most recent season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogbert 1,376 Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Line of Duty night!! The Guardian (I really enjoy their TV/media coverage) has a good "questions we want answered" that's heavily spoiler filled for the last 5 seasons obviously, but nothing for the new one as far as I can tell. As much as there were elements I was dissatisfied with parts of the last season, it's still must see TV for me. Did anyone watch Bloodlands, a North Ireland set thriller by one of the production crew for Line of Duty? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogbert 1,376 Posted Monday at 02:16 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 02:16 AM Line of Duty, now up to episode 3. So damn good. There's a real great build up this series that I'm not going to talk about as it's all spoilers. I'm enjoying this a ton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Angel P 502 Posted Monday at 11:23 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 11:23 PM I have to wait for AcornTV to get it. dogbert 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Between all the celebrity specials, I'm a bit burned out from it + taking a break until the new series later this year.
