Best pilot episode ever!
- that was really good ..
HOOKEDRamanisky2 - i loved itfyoucher1
- yea, felt like Serial a bit, but watching it actually happen. Seeing the insane twists and turns that will sound absurd when trying to defend himself.dopepope
- that was really good ..

I don't know if it has been here already:
- Three episodes in and I love the colours, editing and music.
It creates a choking atmosphere.Longcopylover - can confirm, great seriesakiersky
- Yes.Ramanisky2
- Jean Seberg?oey_oey
- Started watching. Great. And that song from The Acid at end of ep1!!mort_
- Soundtrack is really very strong. Every intro/outro a different style under the same pictures and it still works.Longcopylover
- Pro tip to the last episode: Watch the credits till the end.Longcopylover
- Three episodes in and I love the colours, editing and music.

I'm not sure if I've already posted this.
- This is in my top ten for surehardhat
- this, person of interest, suits, white collar all greattrooperbill
- lee pace is so under ratedpango
- Lee Pace followed this up with Foundation and Mackensie Davis went on to do Station 11.CyBrainX
- This was a great series.Ianbolton
- Just started watching this. American Psycho vibes are plenty. Good though.mort_

Does Succession actually get good? I've binged the first 3 and it's been three hours of the same relentless conversation between a cast of unlikeable people! Does anything ever happen of note soon?
- No, it's not for you.palimpsest
- Not really, and this sorta shit is right up my alley. I watched the first two seasons, and every episode drones on like the last.section_014
- There's never going to be anybody to root for. Every episode is shitty people doing shitty things to each other.palimpsest
- haha, I love the show and Hayzilla is 100% correct.dopepope
- It's darkly hilarious. Greg is the best.mort_
- Are you a yoghurt-weaving, linen clad, waxed muctachio'd hipster too, Hayzilla? 'cos that was pretty much exactly my feelings about Succession too.Nairn
- They weren't even interestingly unlikeable. I was surprised I didn't much care for it, given how much I like Jesse Artmstrong's stuff. Oh well.Nairn
- Soy boys.palimpsest
- It's a sitcom, you're supposed to be laughingnb
- The only character I find interesting/funny is Shiv's wife Tom. Home Alone's brother is probably supposed to be the comedy turn but he isn't.Hayzilla
- It's like watching Wile E Coyote, you know they're gonna fail, that's not important. It's seeing the way the fail. The comedy is in the hits.palimpsest
- Every character is comedy. Imagine you're watching Peep Show. That's the vibe.nb
- Like an entire show of Johnsonnb
- Have you guys seen 'Fresh Meat' that Jesse Armstrong co-wrote? If not, do.Nairn
- +1 for Fresh Meat. But Succession is so worth sticking with. They're all twats and that's a key reason why it's great.MrT
- If you don't like the first three episodes you probably won't like the rest of the series though. It stays consistent all throughout.palimpsest
- Yes, I've seen Fresh Meat, Peep Show & Thick of it. This show is nowhere near. I think he phoned it in!Hayzilla

And Then There Were None
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt358…
Based on the best-selling novel of all time, the quintessential murder-mystery written by Agatha Christie. It was absolutely brilliant.
- Oh, yeah, this was great! We watched this last year on Acorn during a blizzardy weekend. Fantastic time, we were on the edge of our seats!elahon
- Next is The Pale Horse.Wordsworth
- It was renamed years back. An early example of 'PC gone mad'.Brabo_Brabo
- how mad was it?pango
- Looks like a perfect winter watch, thanks!spl33nidoru
- Gardener4
R.I.P. Sean Lock
- so good. I remember the Radio 4 show that preceded it.Fax_Benson
- Sad to see him go. Loved this guy and apparently it wasn’t really that sudden either as he’d been unwell for a while. :-(Ianbolton
- NO WAYAQUTE
- Such an amazing short lived show.Hayzilla
- Akagiyama3
- Disney's done it againStoicLevels
- Surprised how good this has been. Really enjoying it.thumb_screws
- Yeah love it_niko
- Great series. So mental!Ianbolton
- I watched the first episode and it just seems like a Dick Van Dyke show parody, down to the set. I'm not sure what else to make of it.CyBrainX
- If you have the will, keep watching, Cybrain. There will be twists and turns.StoicLevels
- Hayzilla4
Loved BARRY. Can't wait for more!!
Mostly because of this guy. SPOILERS...- Hank is great!Vandal7
- love HankRamanisky2
- I like that they use him sparingly.
Not too much.
Just right ;-)Hayzilla - Haha. This guy's fucking amazing. The campest gangster on the planet!Ianbolton
- Ramanisky24
- Finished this last night. Slow moving, but brilliantly done. Such a fucked up story though.Ianbolton
- oops didnt see your post! :PBennn
- lol .. all good BennnRamanisky2
- FFS how do I see this? Is there an actual useable site/app that tells people how they can watch tv shows? I have every Sky channel, Netflix & Amazon! Can't findHayzilla
- Found it

Forgive the pun, but LOVE this show.
- this smells like romantic comedy all the way.... I'm outMiguex
- i just CAN'T STAND Rust in this. I really wanted to like the show but I can't get past how much he sucksGnash
- Persevered through series 1 hoping it did something original. Nahhh.Hayzilla
- I enjoyed it.Ramanisky2
- Sweet, I didn't realize season 3 was out. I enjoyed the first two quite a bit.elahon

- The Chechnians are great.Ramanisky2

Taskmaster. Coming soon to the US.
There are no clips that really do the show justice.- Not going to lie, I quite liked this, stupid and pointless as it may be.detritus
- It's shite really but I honestly can't think of a show that has made me laugh out loud so much. I'm not much of a LOLer but this show gets me time after time.Hayzilla
- I spammed it last year some time, much to the chagrin of my ever critical gwife...detritus
- ^ Umm In English?Hayzilla
- spammed - watched it all in one go
chagrin - disquietude caused by disappointment
gwife - non-married partnerdetritus - fucking keep up.detritus
- yep, this is good tv. Puts all the other generic panel shows to shame. That's not saying much I guess but mainstream tv doesn't HAVE to be shitFax_Benson
- detritus language skills are interestingoey
- thumb_screws4
3 body problem is better than I thought it would be.
- Have you read the books? It's a wee while since I read the first one, but tv series seems to diverge massively from it - is that the case?Nairn
- Unfortunately never got round to the books. I remember you recommended them here.thumb_screws
- It was good, entertaining for sure but I felt a bit underwhelmed.Ramanisky2
- BuddhaHat3
- Based on James Clavell's 1975 literary epic of the same name.BuddhaHat
- Really good so farthumb_screws
- The making of is on FX Networks YouTube.Wordsworth
- Loving itYakuZoku
- Ramanisky23
- Just let me know when the final episode airs.CyBrainX
- lolmilfhunter
- This should've been 'Embazzlement', 'Fraud', 'Tax Evasion', 'Money Laundering', 'Traitors' and so on. Not an ounce of decency in their bones.Wordsworth
- ^ which is why it's so entertaining!MrT
- grafician4
- Enjoyed the first two. Just red the first book but the first season really is exactly the first book ...so it was kind of pointless reading.webazoot
- ...Other than the Gary Oldman character being repeatedly described as looking like Timothy Spall on a bad day (Presumably before he lost all the weight).webazoot
- They really made him a crusty and obnoxious character.CyBrainX
- All the books are worth it, and his new one is a back/side story from the same world.MrT
- Ianbolton2
Started this last night. Wow! I love how cringe it is.
- Will check it outRamanisky2
- Good 1st Ep.
Def has that Safdie Bros uncomfortable touch to it.Ramanisky2 - 2 eps in and it's goodGardener
- I agree about how cringy it is, especially the husband. I'll give it one more chance.CyBrainX
- Its interesting. Expected more Curse.webazoot
- Was about to post this. Its weird, i like it. 2ep in so far.HAL9001
- PhanLo2
Started watching this, it's freaking me out a bit.
Good tho.
-- This was excellent.CyBrainX
- ah mate, i've been meaning to start this. Is it as creepy as the trailer makes out?Ianbolton
- I think I got freaked out mostly because I liked the characters and didn't want the bad stuff to happen to them. Still have one episode to go. Great scenes too.PhanLo
- It took me 2 or 3 episodes to recognize the mom from Malcolm in the Middle.CyBrainX
- Interesting, it gets a horrible rating on rotten tomatoes and imdbmilfhunter
- I guess ill give it a shot.milfhunter
- Looks like real quality. Great trailer.Ramanisky2
- Apparently from reading angry Youtube comments it didn't spell out the plot like story for 5 year olds so people were angry.PhanLo
- Also the first series covers almost 95% of the book so they were wondering how a second series would work. Dude from Future Islands character is good.PhanLo
- Jetserf1
- At least it's more entertaining than DaredevilMaaku
- really? no, Daredevil's non-stop entertainment. I've only heard mixed things about Luke Cage_niko
- This has a truly awful final episode, in fact the switch that happens around 2/3 of the way into the season is a turning point where it loses it's way.Wolfboy
- the stupidest complain i've heard for luke cage was "it's too black"pango
- lolmoldero
- What was the point in the final episode? It was shit. The only thing that was any good in the whole show was the soundtrack.Ianbolton
- Watched half of these. It was pretty meh overall.section_014
