What telly progs are you bingeing on?

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Smashed through Nightstalker on Netflix. Really enjoyed it. Not sure they really needed to give him his own logo though

[SwedgeAntilles]

Westworld is fucking unbelievable eh? That episode 7 reveal, "what door?" 🤯

[Hugh Jass]

I enjoyed S1 of Westworld but never felt the need to watch any more of it.

[philipsteak]

Season 2 was a slog, but the third was mostly very good. Without looking it up I really can't remember anything from season 2

 

[WestCountryGirl]

Yeah I enjoyed 1, struggled through season 2 and then kind of forgot about it entirely.

[kalifire]

Agreed - what made S1 of Westworld good disappeared in S2 and by S3 it was essentially a completely different and far inferior show, and I couldn't be bothered with it.

Currently binging on Marcella, the Anna Friel show on Netflix. I've dispatched two seasons and have one left. Pretty good - not amazing, and incredibly dark.

Fun fact, there is an early episode of Marcella where she observes a pinboard with all the photos of dead girls/bodies on it - a friend of mine is in one of those pictures as a dead girl.

I've never really bothered with those big American sitcoms (or dramas, for that matter), but now may be the time to get involved. Anyone tell me which of these is better? (Listed in my instinctive order of preference)

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Shitts Creek
The Office
Arrested Development

Arrested Development 

But I'd also rate Seinfeld as right at the top of the heap.

My favourite comedy of those is Always Sunny.

I loved Schitt's Creek but I have only recommended it to people on its grounds of "loveliness" and the familiarity built with the characters. Very few actual laughs.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Schitt's Creek might as well be a documentary for the number of actual yucks there are in it.

I resisted The Office for years because, obviously, it’ll be inferior to the UK version. But it’s not. It’s fantastic, the characters are brilliant. 

[Copperface]

Just got the last two episodes of 'The Last Dance' to go.

Never really knew that much about Michael Jordan before, but what a story..

Oh my the US Office is incredible, it’s better than the U.K. one IMO.

That’s not a slight on the U.K. one, the US one is more my style of comedy.

I don't mind the US version but the UK version is the GOAT for me.

If you cut AD off at the end of season 3 it wins, it's average gets dragged down every episode onwards. Always Sunny is brilliant, probably peaked but still enjoyable and I'm looking forward to more. The office was great but a big blur, doesn't really ever step up to the quality of the other 2 shows. Never watched schitts creek.

I have. And it's the greatest comedy of all time. Shame about the last couple of series when Larry David wasn't involved which spoiled the legacy a bit.

Ive watched it through many times- one of my favourite comedies! George always cracks me up😂

It’s hard to introduce people to because the first few series are bit iffy

Genius show, taken to new levels with the reunion done by equally good (but different in its own right) show Curb.

They're very capable the yanks I don't know why I sit through so much of their other guff ahah

[priest17]

I'm halfway through the sopranos and it's as good as everyone says so far. I used to come home really drunk and find my dad watching it when I was young it it's funny watching the bits I remember fit in, like one of those TikTok videos where the still creeps in until the video catches up with it.

Sitcom. 

True Detective S1 one is the actual GOAT.

Fair play. Sitcom for me is either The US Office or Scrubs.

Greatest TV is Lost.
