The Assembly is great....only watched the Danny Dyer one so far but I think it's going to be a winner.

(ITV btw)

Just watched the lineker one
My wife was skeptical because of her mental health work and some things we’re seeing with my son
It’s brilliant
They ask what they like but in a way they can’t avoid the answers
And Nessus Dorna hits still

My go to pod when I run out of football ones and so many to choose from

Listened to this yesterday before leaving for the game. He comes across well, and spoke very honestly.

Mobland gets better and better.

 

[JerusalemMan]

Just finished watching Andor.
What a show. Great story construction and character creation, masterful performances. Treats the audience with respect by not simply doing paint-by-numbers.

 

[Grays_1890]

Mobland gets better and better.

TBF the last episode was very decent

Can't believe I've never watched the first series of Peep Show before, awesome. E03 is so good.

Yeah, I must of been late to the party. Thought I'd watch it all again, and realised I hadn't seen series 1. Remembered series 2 straight away.

My biggest gripe is how they made Beth the hero when she is clearly the biggest cnut in the show

Another thing, am I supposed to be rooting for John, Rip and Beth? None of them are nice people or sympathetic. Rip is a murderer, Beth is an alcoholic and a loose cannon.

Yeh its suppose to be the anti hero I suppose, the son/brother they murder starts out the only one with any morals and then gets bullied into the other side by his sister and Dad, who then act shocked that he has issues. It works and is a great show to watch, but the plot doesn't really work for me in that respect.

Sorry mate which characters are you referring to?

White Lotua slowly bleeding quality season to season, they need to take it away from the beaches to a ski resort or city break.

Just watched it, fantastic.

Mobland was entirely wacky unrealistic but very watchable. Especially with Hardy playing himself.

Mirren and Brosnan were so so for me.

Finished Handmaid's Tale. Penultimate episode is amazing. Decent finish. Assume a spin off is to come.

Dept Q. I loved this show. Like properly. Love crime shows as it is but felt this was so well done.

Which bits? Have you ever come in to contact with people like this?

Finally got round to watching adolescence, 1 part to go.

Tragic and morbidly fascinating. Horrendous to hear reports from school teachers of those pupils caught up in the Andrew Tate school of misogyny. I've got a nephew who is around that school age who has seen some of his stuff and is rather impressionable. If you tell a teenager to not watch something because it's gonads, that usually comes across as "I should definitely watch this".

In some ways I'm not into the government stepping on what people can / cannot do ie the generation who will never be allowed to buy tobacco products but a social media ban for under 16s seems like a good shout. School's hard enough as it is for kids without all that added flimflam, but then how do you police it.

The one take style of shooting (whether it's bonafide or not lends itself well to the show as well, some awesome performances even from the younger actors involved.

Done Mobland in 3 sittings not exactly high art but very watchable. I gave up after a couple of episodes but the show that Gangs of London wanted to be maybe?

Apparently renewed for a 2nd season

Just finished Mobland, must admit i thought it was good.
