I wasn't expecting much but it is very good.

That focus group - 'buy a pan..' 😁

same, could've gone either way, but found it most amusing

favourite bit was when he went to confront the boss who'd sacked their assistant, and ended up flying around on a jet pack with interspersed messages for how women in indsutry are treated

good to see Josh Pugh make an appearance, only ever seen him on Instagram but he's a funny guy

Traitors

never watched it but done the first 2 episodes of this celebrity version. Its fucking brilliant innit

Prefer the non celebrity ones as you see peoples personalities develop and change, the celebrity one I already know Alan Carr is a nob head and Stephen  Fry is a clever cunt . Takes a bit away if that makes sense but still enjoying it . 

Looking forward to The Iris Affair tonight. Hope it's not a let down.

Not sure how I missed The Looming Tower but 3 episodes in has me hooked.

Might be late to the party on this one but very much enjoying The Teacher on Netflix. Thought it was the original one with Sheridan Smith but it’s a new series of 4 episodes. Very good

I’m about 10 years too late to Mad Men. Quality

You are in for total joy.

But yes well too late

Not sure if The Intruder has been mentioned., currently on iplayer, just on the 2nd episode now. Decent start but could improve 

Slow Horses good again for S5 if a little obvious

watched the full 1st series/season yesterday. It's not bad, maybe not as good as people have raved on about it, unless it gets better of course, but still a decent enough watch

It builds imo. 1st series sets the scene and the characters. I’ve really enjoyed it but get that it won’t be for everyone

3 episodes in on series 2, it's getting there.

I do find it interesting how they're not immediately going for the easy win by portraying all the trouble being caused by Republican types, which is the usual in this sort of thing though

The Ed Gein thing on Netflix is pretty good.  Very gruesome!

I hadn't heard of him before, so had a quick Google as you do. Some of the stuff he kept is remarkable

Went off it. A bit too IRA sympathetic for my liking. That and too much faggotry.

What era is it set in? I’ve never seen it but presumed it would be set well before the IRA were in existence? Assumed it was about the beginning of Guinness?

Finished the second series last night, and enjoyed it more than the first. Will start series 3 tonight, and then on to House of Guinness (hopefully, I won't be put off by the abundant faggotry 😉)

I believe it's set in the mid 1800's, so probably a good 50/60 years before the IRA were formed

So what is Bolty on about then?

dunno, I've not watched it, but I'm going to assume he's referring to the IRB, who I believe were the forerunner to the IRA
