What telly progs are you bingeing on?

[DirtyLurker]

I was recommended Russian Doll on Netflix, so I banged it on last night & watched the lot in 1 sitting.  Gripping/dark humour/bit weird/ would recommend.

And obvs You - very dark, think it can't get any darker then it gets darker still!

Episode 6 is a hard watch emotionally 😪

It’s a hard watch but it’s also a bit of a masterpiece - humans showing all of their behaviours. Love, compassion, loyalty, betrayal, deceit, regret.  Outstanding story telling.

Watched episodes 1 & 2, highly recommended. Some laugh out loud comedy but with a dark underlying story unfolding, it could all end in tears. I'm hooked.

Only seen the first but I liked it. Darker and not as knockabout as I was expecting (it has its moments though) from the trailers and Stephen Merchants involvement.

Same here. Was a bit surprised by how little Merchant was involved in the first episode, but I'm expecting they will be exploring all the main characters over the series.

Another two thumbs up for the new Merchant project. Really solid work - some good belly laughs throughout, great character development and a proper story arc. Way better than anything Gervais has done since they stopped writing together.

Watched the final three episodes of Cobra 2. Cyberwars today.  Think they were delayed due to last weeks news. Reckon there will be a cobra 3, a few foundations of future plot lines laid.

For me, as a stand alone episode, its up there with the very best from any series I've watched. A tough watch but my god there were so many layers to it.

Is it worth getting Apple TV just to watch Foundation? I really loved the books. Thinking I might get it for a month at Xmas and just binge it (presuming the full series will be out by then)

[WestCountryGirl]

Finally got around to watching Maid in the last few days. Man, I have not openly sobbed at a tv show like that in a LONG time! I know its been going around on word of mouth for a while, but do check it out if you haven't given it a go already!

Did you know that Edinburgh, close to the east coast of Scotland, is further west than Bristol.  Not a lotta folk know that!

BBC 4.  The whole final series of the superb Detectorists is being shown on Friday night/Saturday morning 

and I know it’s for kids but I love the updated version of Worzel Gummidge. Mackenzie Crook is great in it. Also the music by the Unthanks, who also provided music for the detectorists .

There is an interesting documentary on Sky at the moment about Woodstock '99. The series name is Music Box and it's episode one in the series. Talks about the acts, the organizers, the location, everything that went wrong etc.

[gigpusher]

Finally watched Get Back and found it very interesting. Was expecting it all to be a lot more acrimonious than it was. Started Dopesick last night and that is also looking promising from the first 2 episodes.

Finished that the other Day. Brilliant, had me shouting at the TV. Richard Shackler is really well played and a Villain of our time

[Ayrshire Chris]

Seems the BBC have been ‘inundated’ with complaints from parents according to the Telegraph about rude jokes on Worzel Gummidge.  It was about bird watching and referred to the red knobbed coot and the blue footed booby. 
having dealt with kids all my career I reckon that’s pretty mild compared to a lot I heard. 
 

edit, I read this on bbc news,I do not , have not norever will read the telegraph.

Worzel Gummidge is the best kids TV show ever. If it's wound up a few Tories, that makes it even better. Mackenzie Crook is a fucking genius!
