I think Gervais’s ‘Alley Cats’ may hopefully break records on review websites for being the worst show ever made. 

The office is the greatest ever uk comedy imo but gervais has completely let fame go his head. It’s a shame, he also seems to act like merchant is irrelevant which is a joke 

[Dr Marco]

The Shards based on the Bret Easton Ellis Book

first couple episodes are really good

 

 

Prisoner on Sky: really decent

 

 

Edited 9 August by Dr Marco

Just finished the Lockerbie bombing drama on Netflix, which was excellent.

Ok, going against the grain here. I really liked Alley Cats. 

 

Its not an OMG that was awesome show, but i found it entertaining. I mean its a cartoon about cats with Ricky Gervais, so for me there was nothing to not like

Watched the first episode of the Mourinho documentary. It’s good, especially if you’re a fan of the guy

I watched bits and bobs of Spurs All or Nothing season and found Mourinho surprisingly dull- is it really worth a watch?

I liked it. And I think the Porto, Chelsea and Inter Mourinho was a bit of a different animal to the one at Spurs.

Finally got round to watching season two of Bloodhounds, easily as good as the first season, and nicely left with the possibility of a third.

[TheGoldenGod]

Extremely late to the party, but managed to binge The Penguin recently, exceptional performance from everyone but none more than Colin Farrell! 

 

I've watched The Batman twice but never connected with it as much as many did but really loved the format and tempo of the show!

[Samu]

Really enjoyed the latest series of Tires on Netflix!

[spacemunky]

Wasn't sure about 'Stuart Fails to Save the Universe' after the first episode, but I am really enjoying it.

 

Fun show and lots of cameos from 'The Big Bang Theory'.

[Suzie the Fox]

Anyone watched Dark Matter ? New season just started and i cant recall watching the 1st one. I think its Apple Tv.

Trailer looks really interesting

The Invisible Man (1975)

 

Remember watching this on TV as re-runs. Sadly, hasn't aged that well.

 

Starts off decent, then turns into a parody of itself. Change in cast from the pilot to the next episode, cheap effects, and as the series progresses, the stories become more and more trivial.

Second to last episode takes the cake, clearly a cost-cutting measure.

Sounds really interesting very slightly similar to a book I just read called the midnight library.

[Muzzy_no7]

Ted Lasso really is quite cr*p..but we still find ourselves watching it religiously. 
 

Can’t wait for more Lioness. It really is top tier.

 

Oh and September: The Gentlemen, Mobland and Slow Horses..cracking line-up.

 

 

[SkidsFox]

Any Ludwig fans? Enjoying the second series so far. 

[Bellend Sebastian]

Only just realised that Tom Davis has put up the entirety of the criminally underrated and possibly stupidest show ever made Murder In Successville on his own YouTube channel, so that's 9 hours of my life taken up in the near future

It's not as good as the first two seasons for sure, but it's still an enjoyable watch. Mainly because all the characters are so likeable. 

[Thefox81]

Fightland 👍. If you enjoyed Power then this will be to your liking. 50cent a better director than he is a rapper/gangster maybe.

Always remember the Chris Kamara, Mark Wright, Jamie Laing and Richard Osman eps of this being world class

I like the women's team and the female coach, but the show has worn itself out for me otherwise.

 

It's always been a bit cringe, but it was fun in the first couple seasons.

I've watched all of those again already, they are among the best ones, definitely.

 

I think the Jamie Laing one is particularly good, especially the bit where he goes undercover to infiltrate the One Direction gang as 'Marvin Eaglecock'.

 

The impersonations are great, in that they are funny but a bit half arsed to the extent that they always have to say who it is

This is class news - it's some of the funniest stuff bbc three ever did I reckon and always found it baffling it never found a wider audience. The Tess Daley/Winkelman characters and Alan/Jimmy Carr as the Krays still do me in.
