Barbarians season 2 was a bit disappointing but still a decent watch. They really threw historical accuracy out the window I feel in an effort to spice it up even more.
Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

The Peripheral. Only two episodes but so far I really like it.

I enjoyed the first few episodes as well. Can definitely tell the Westworld vibe from Nolan & Joy. I'm hoping it keeps ramping up the quality. Since its based on a Gibson novel, I have faith. Although the trilogy is unfinished so I do have some Thrones-Martin ptsd
The original is a Belgian series Clan. It was on Walter Presents (All4) about 6 years ago. Walter called it The Out-Laws. From memory, the annoying husband is known as the prick.
Snabba Cash second season didn't disappoint, fully recommend it. The only snag is that the season felt bit too short.
Another Swede series, Tunna Blå Linjen is great as well, second season just started. It's a cop series that mostly focuses in their struggles in personal life. I might have recommended it here already but if you can find it online watch it, it's brilliant.

I'm three episodes in and yeah it's good. Seems to be quite intense though.
This one was pretty great so far! Gibson is a master of this genre. Can't complain
I’m four episodes into The Leftovers. Enjoying it so far but I’m not sure where they’re going with it yet. I must admit that I was skeptical when I realised that Damon Lindelof was involved in making this.
Stick with it. Season 2 is outstanding.
im late to the party, but just binge watched Severance (on apple) this week, and its almost up there with better call saul for me as gold plated shit to watch. oustanding.
Great isn't it.
I'm gonna recommend to you all...
The Bear (Disney+) - a really good show about a Chicago beef sandwich shop. Great direction and performances.
Gritty, intense, emotional and funny. It's also actually about chefs/cooking, (as oppose to being solely about relationships and just happens to be set in a restaurant)
And only 30 minute episodes, which is great for anyone who gets bored with longer shows.
Anyone seen the new series of The White Lotus?
Doesn't start in the UK until Monday.
Looking for a new Sitcom to watch so randomly put on Abbott Elementary on Disney Plus... Very glad I did, its great.
1 - This is absolutely mental. It is a work of pure fiction and it’s not a road map of how to spend money to create time. Everyone in the show is in work mode 18 hours a day.
2. They are nothing like the same. The DropOut is a dramatisation of perhaps the greatest Pharma-tech fraud ever. Dopesick is a factual dramatisation of the American Opiod epidemic, exposing how broken American politics is.
Dopesick is brilliant. Horrifying at the human level, and confronting at the societal level.
It’s top tier.
Loved episode 3 of The Leftovers. I like Eccleston and I enjoyed the nod to his Mancunian roots when he said 'stop me if you think you've heard this one before'.
That and another single character episode are the standouts of the first season which I thought was a bit hit and miss and incredibly grim. The second and third seasons are just brilliant the whole way through though.
Oh the series is very grim. Too grim for me but I'm sticking with it hoping it improves like you've said. Episode 3 went full on Kafka but Eccleston is very watchable.
The writers themselves knew season one was too grim and there’s a noticeable shift in tone in the next two seasons. They even changed the theme song to something a lot more cheery. Definitely stick with it
Somewhere Boy on Channel 4/All 4 was an interesting little watch. Eight episodes of 30 mins each so doesn't take much of your time but some really good performances.
The Bear was excellent! I found out about that show entirely through recommendations here and binged it with the wife over the weekend and we both loved it. My only thing was I felt it was a little too f-bomb heavy. Maybe I'm getting old but it seemed a little gratuitous there when the obscenities could have been a little more tactical. Overall though, it was a great show. Loved the episode where the little kids had smoothies full of xanax.
Watched the first episode tonight. Must say it’s one to hook you in for sure! Hopefully it continues on this way.
New season of The White Lotus started strong. The updated theme tune is a banger as well. Also, Simona Tabasco
The Devils hour - Prime Video
Just watched the first episode and I'm hooked. It's strange with an interesting story to open the series, plenty of questions asked. Can't wait to see where it goes.

Yeah really enjoyed that first episode, Mike White is a good writer. Stifler's mom is hilarious!
100%. Watched the the Wire for the first time a few months ago. What was I thinking not watching it in it’s first run. I think maybe the Sopranos was out at the the same time?
This looks great.
Honestly this season has been very solid for the simpsons. They seem to be improving a good bit.
Finished Black Bird over the weekend. Highly recommended for anybody interested in the true crime genre. Egerton is a great lead but Paul Walter Hauser is on another level as the suspect. Having read up on the case afterwards, it kept impressively true to actual events. Anybody looking for a show about a (potential) serial killer without the exploitation, this is for you.
Decent score by Mogwai (not quite as good as their ZeroZeroZero one) and it comes in at a brisk 6 episodes. Just don't read up about it first.

Love Death Note.
Is this a Halloween episode or something? Surprised they can show someone being shredded through a jet engine
On episode 3 already - really enjoying it. Not for anyone who scares easily though.
As others have said, I think they find the right balance after season 1 (which remains very good), with season 2 being pretty much tone perfect - there is obviously still a certain intensity to it, but it's not as grim. There's also a couple of absolutely incredible episodes in there.
He's wonderful throughout the show yeah. The whole cast is excellent, it has to be said.
International Assassin
I'm currently re-watching and I'd forgotten how perfect season 2 is.
International Assassin is one of my all time favourite TV episodes, and Justin Theroux's rendition of Homeward Bound at the end of the last episode sent shivers down my spine, I'd actually forgotten about it!
I was responding to you in the meantime, and specifically singling out that episodeInternational Assassin
It's so good.I was responding to you in the meantime, and specifically singling out that episode
Even the previous episode, a Most Powerful Adversary, is incredible.
oh and The Most Powerful Man in the World in season three too. The big "thud" of Justin Theroux's dong on the scanner is also one of the funniest things ever :joy:
