Working my way through The Simpsons, on season 5 of 35! Some cracking old episodes.
Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
I’ve never watched the UK one ! But I’ve been told the UK one is much better
The Breakthrough, on Netflix. Based on a real life double murder in 2004. Swedish. Thought it was excellent. It’s only 4 episodes so easily bingeable in one sitting.
Do yourself a favour and stop after season 10
I’m struggling through Season 2 of Silo. The only thing this show has going for it is Rebecca Ferguson, so what do they do? That’s right: they make an entire season 2 episode without her.
Casting department just shit the bed on this show. Snuffed out two great actors in the first couple episodes, then cast the comedic Tim Robbins as a heavy (the only villain role I’ve liked of his is Arlington Road - a very enjoyable movie). He doesn’t do menacing well. And Common… dear oh dearie me.
But this story is just weak sauce. There is nothing interesting happening.
Might have to give Station Eleven another chance; only got through a few episodes but I might’ve been burnt out on post-apocalypse stuff at the time.
As for Silo, there are episodes where I get the ‘this could’ve been an email instead of a meeting’ vibes. S2 episodes are often a rotation of: Robbins glares and says something menacingly ominous that you have no idea about, Common glares threateningly only to be menacingly awkward, some character you don’t give a toss about worries and stares into the distance about something you also don’t care about, Becca finds the right 2-hole 350Kcmil lug tin plated with copper conductor that’s rated properly for underwater use in an alkaline environment @600 amps and >14.7 psi.
I wish I was a Scout so I could give your answer a Like. You absolutely nailed season 2, except if anything your summary is more enticing than what I’ve been watching.
The last episode was better but leaving it a bit late given that the finale is all that is left.
Saw the first episode of this last night and really liked it.
Gets that bad??
Yea very good.
Just finished it and I agree brilliant show.
I was disappointed with the last 2 eps, there is scope for a mini series or a film to really tie up the loose ends.
Leland for me was the pick of the bunch , outstanding acting.
Cheers both. Going to begin the binge this weekend.
on season 3 of From , excellent TV.
We started this last night after reading this thread as it passed me by when it came out. We love a good post-apocalyptic drama so ...
Episode 1 was great but I'm less sure after episode 2. Looks great but I'm not sure that I'm convinced about this band of wandering Shakespearean actors thing yet.
I have tried to watch this but gave up after 2 eps, worth trying again ?
I understand. I think it pays off really well at the end, but because the main focus of each episode shifts, some episodes individually are more interesting. Second time through, I’m pointing out a bunch of things in the margins so that there is more connectivity through the episodes. The ways it’s filmed they don’t linger on certain images maybe the way it would be done on a more standard show.
Episode 2 wasn’t great, and sad to report that episode 3 isn’t markedly better, but THEN it becomes really good.

episode 2 is when I gave up, but I have watched other series that the first few episode were not good, Leftovers I very nearly gave up on , so maybe this is worth a second chance.
Still has it's moments but they get increasing rare. Suppose it was bound to happen when a show has been on for as long as that one.
This pretty much sums it up...
I tried getting into The White Lotus as a friend was raving about it
It's obviously well rated but did anyone else think it was shite? There wasn't one character I had the slightest bit of interest in

I fecking hated it. Watching that whiny American spinster Jennifer Coolidge was worse than fingernails on a chalkboard. Glad to see Steve Zahn get a good gig, but yeah, it was garbage.
This is a common theme here, mediocre bulk get recommended as absolutely brilliant.
This White Lotus slander will not be tolerated. Armond died so that we could live.
Slow to the party but The Penguin is very, very good!
Currently watching Black Bird on Apple TV. Its a mini series about the serial killer Larry Bird and I have to say its a fantastic watch. Not much action as there is a lot of dialogue between the two protagonists but really compelling viewing. Highly recommended.
Great show.
UK Shameless is brilliant for about 5 seasons, then just drops off in quality.
Wonderful show, great soundtrack.
Great show. It's only a 6 episode mini-series so too, so well worth a binge watch.
American Primeval
You're welcome
You're welcome
this looks exactly my cup of tea, thanks!
Yeah and it's fine, different people like different things, but I just went in with much higher expectations than I should have.
Severance is the best show on tv at the moment by a mile. It’s gonna age extremely well too, if they get it right it’ll be an all time top 5 for sure. Not many shows can make you care about one version of the story of every single main character, let alone two.
I know it's popular but at the same time I don't know anyone who watches it. I tried it and just couldn't get into it. I tend to favor things set against historical backdrops or spy thrillers though so it obviously doesn't fit in those categories.
I think you have to enjoy wild theory stuff. Historical stuff is kinda predictable, spy stuff has been done to death, severance is such a new concept that there’s no reference point for it in tv history. Its nerdy, but its so cool.
Yep, three episodes in, and I think it's very good.
I enjoyed it but
the ridiculous twist spoilt it for me. The Keyser Soze reveal wasn't needed. If Fatima was so dedicated to the cause why didn't she detonate the bomb in the first episode? Instead she was taken into custody to plot the downfall of David Budd because well...he patronised her and all women. Utterly bizarre.
I've started The Lincoln Lawyer, and it's a very good watch.
