Homegrove …..turns into soft porn for a good couple of episodes. Surprisingly enough I stuck with it.

IndustryStandard Me too, quite enjoyed it tbf.

I gave ‘Rivals’ a try yesterday after watching a review on ch4. I lasted another 30 minutes before I sacked it off. Utter shite.

V late to the party, but just finished S1 of Mayor of Kingstown. Fuck me - brilliant, but relentlessly bleak.

vinnyt77 wait till you see the second series…

vinnyt77 the bleakness increases in season 2

Smallman1

I’ve just started watching Succession.

Loving it.

Smallman1 One of the best of recent years. The utter cuntiness and lack of self-awareness of the Roy family is both cringeworthy, and a joy to watch…

whatever

The sense of cognitive dissonance must be palpable in the Smallman household while Succession is on.

I’m definitely the Kieran Culkin character.

And absolute ledge basically.

Dubmick I’m gonna say the ending of S2 kinda represents a happy ending 👍️

Season 3 of Industry was good. They left the ending wide open for new plot lines, the next season should be interesting with everyone’s lives going in different directions.

Does someone figure out how to blow themselves off?

Don’t really like Mafia / Mob stuff, but looking to get my teeth into something and might have a go at The Sopranos. Never bothered with it before.

Gonna have a go at Seinfeld too. Reckon I’ve not seen half as many of them as I think I have.

[deleted] The Sopranos. Never bothered with it before.

Wow. You’re in for a treat. The pilot episode is bad and a good indicator of the show at large. Just a heads up.

Along_the_Wire

[deleted] Sopranos isn’t standard mafia stuff, so you may like it - hope you do, it’s fucking brilliant.

Absolutely love Seinfeld. Didn’t really know too much about it and didn’t find it all that funny, but a mate lent me his box sets and watched the lot in a few months in 2012. Gets funnier and funnier - really love it.

Been enjoying Solar System on the old iPlayer this week.

I’m a massive thicket when it comes to the sciences so seeing basic principles like thermodynamics, gravity etc playing out in different scenarios across the solar system has been eye opening.

Takes a while to get used to Brian Cox coming across as a real-life Bo Selecta! character though!

Heartily recommended

Mad_Cyril Solar System

Will cue this up too. I read a fair bit on ‘space shizzle’ so am regularly disappointed by some science shows, and yeah, Cox is a bit of a melter, but I’d like to think the Beeb can still make a decent effort on this front.

Homegrove NOT a good indicator I think H?

[deleted]

Homegrove Wow. You’re in for a treat.

It’ll have to work hard for me to get past how much I dislike the Mob stuff, but I’ll give it a fair shake.

Dubman

I watched the first episode earlier in the week. I’ve meaning to watch it for years but kept putting it off

Millsy

[deleted] why the dislike, amps?
