The Birmingham City documentary on Amazon Prime is interesting.

 

Appointing Rooney was such a fvck up and a great way to start the new ownership 

 

Not keen on Tom Brady tbh. He may be the GOAT of NFL but comes across as a bell end IMO

 

Quite like the Blues fans on it though. An even more miserable and pessimistic bunch than we are 

It's one thing a tiddly club like Wrexham, it's quite another when a pretty big club from the country's second city is plastering the face of some obscure Yank gridiron player everywhere in a desperate bid for relevance. Totally demeaning.

Does Yellowstone get better after series 1? Finding it quite dated and cheesy.

If that's how you feel already, I'd probably abandon it. It's just more of the same and more ridiculous as it goes on.

We are trying to be patient and just watching one episode a week...on Wednesdays.

There are some aspects I like, but it feels a lot older than 2018. Some of the daftness reminds me of Sons of Anarchy.

I actuall  liked the first few seasons, even with it being quite far fetched, but by season 4 it'd just become so ridiculous that I haven't even bothered to watch the final season.

 

It's hard for me watching these shows where I just hate all the characters and would rather just see them all dead 

[SecretPro]

Im not really a romcom kinda person, but years ago I did read One Day when it came out and enjoyed it. For some reason, after a few days of channel hopping through the absolute shit thats on telly at the minute and not really wanting to commit to yet another 8 series binge, I decided to put the netflix series on. 

 

I'll admit. It was pretty bloody good.

Cannot wait. Please, PLEASE be good. 
 

it’s Hawley so I’m very hopeful. 

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

Can’t wait to stick alien on tonight after the little one is in bed. As an aside I have a very large Xenomorph displate in my office to keep her out, works a treat! 

[StanSP]

Celebrity Traitors line up looks pretty solid. 

 

Joe Marler will be hilarious. As will Joe Wilkinson. 

[RoboFox]

A bit late to the party but Severance is absolutely sensational. 

 

As soon as I knew the premise I knew I was going to love it and it has not disappointed thus far.

 

Just started S2 but the final episode of S1 was one of the best bits of telly I've seen in years.

Yeah it's a decent one. 

 

Reckon Nick Mohammed, Stephen Fry, Jonathan Ross, Cat Burns and Alan Carr will all bring lots of varying intrigue about them. 

 

The others I can't work out whether will be good or bad but even so, that's what may make it even better!

I've watched them both and given that it's a franchise that has disappointed as often as not over the years, this is pretty good so far. 

 

It would be a cliché to say not for the squeamish but this REALLY isn't for the squeamish

It's crap

[urban.spaceman]

Very impressed with Alien: Earth episode one! I was skeptical if it would work on a TV format but from this opening gambit, it looks like it will pay off. Also some lovely surprising casting choices that I didn't know about!

Actual celebrities in a celebrity edition.  About time!

[Legend_in_blue]

Alien Earth absolutely brilliant so far.  Miles ahead of Prometheus and Covenant.

 

I had to replay that statue scene because of that now you see it moment.  Something was clearly lurking right down the hallway right from the start of the scene and it was cleverly done from there.  Every time the xeno showed up it was done brilliantly.  

 

Impressed.

I'm a little disappointed by that weapon that the android uses to subdue the alien. 

 

This predates Ripley and a means of stunning the beast makes no sense.

 

It is very good watching, that aside.
