Toast 14,800 Posted March 10, 2018 I am enjoying 'American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace'. Although it feels wrong to enjoy because it's true, and real people were murdered. However I am loving the sheer campness of everything, the gay clubs, the music ... . And the guy who plays the serial killer is absolutely mesmerising. Penelope Cruz is a bit shit as Donatella though - thick non-Italian accent, can hardly understand a word she says. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will love Billy Bob Thornton in S1, the black dood in S2 and Thewlis in S3. Not an option msc, its an order......watch it. Thought you'd mentioned this a few weeks ago. Watched first episode and half of episode 2 last night. It's very good. Bit weird seeing Martin Freeman with a middle of America accent, but Billy Bob plays a psycho very well. Mr Numbers is one of those actors - Adam Goldberg - you suddenly realise has been in everything, too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 14,800 Posted March 18, 2018 'This Country' is amusing. It's a spoof documentary series about chavvy teenagers in a Cotswold village. It's all on iplayer - started as a BBC3 thing but has now been promoted to BBC1 despite the relentless "effing and jeffing". (I think it's pure coincidence that there is going to be a scarecrow competition at our village fete this summer, but it did make me LMFAO.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Estelle Parsons reprised her role as Bev in last night's episode. If you ask me, she hasn't changed a bit since the '90s. Wouldn't recommend her for any pools any time soon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,938 Posted May 26, 2018 They've rebooted the classic film Picnic at Hanging Rock as a miniseries on Prime. Gonna give ep 1 a go over the weekend. Interested to see how good it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Bearer 5,635 Posted May 26, 2018 Started watching "Happy" on Netflix. It's weird. Reached ep 6, it's slowly starting to make a bit of sense (I think). Oh look! An imaginary invisible blue flying unicorn. Who'd a thunk it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clorox Bleachman 2,008 Posted May 27, 2018 Just watched Celebrity Wife Swap USA for the first time; the episode was from 2015 and featured Cloris Leachman & Pia Zadora. What a load of shite. Staged to the nines. Of course one of the reasons I watched it was for form-spotting. At the time of filming Cloris had hurt her ankle but she was strong enough to push herself in a normal wheelchair. I wasn't aware that she did so many things for her health: ate a vegetarian diet, encouraged probiotics, spent time outside her house in a canyon, played the piano, stayed physically active etc. The rumours about her having dementia are also clearly not true. She handled the heat superbly. Pia - Your cheap ass $29 polyester bathrobe is horrible. Cloris - It's actually a $57 bathrobe! Class act, my admiration for her grows every time I see her. Picking her for a dead pool feels wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 12,061 Posted May 28, 2018 Been watching the Channel 4 sitcom, Friday Night Dinner. I love it! Fresh-feeling, realistic elements, not stressful in a way that some sitcoms can be, and Tom Rosenthal and Simon Bird are a class act. Caught it a week or so ago on telly (it's on Series 5) and I've binged it when I've had the chance since. This and Damned are the only sitcoms of the last few years to make me properly laugh out loud, I'd say since The Thick Of It. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,938 Posted June 9, 2018 One for Toasty et al. https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/game-of-thrones-prequel-series-jane-goldman-hbo-1202837883/ Mrs Jonathan Ross to write GoT prequel.

YoungWillz 18,963 Posted June 10, 2018 So, while I think Tracey Ullman's best days are far, far, far behind her (plus she's taken US citizenship, so another Brit making money from Britain and taking it offshore, fnah fnah), whoever she got to do impersonate Jacob Rees-Mogg is doing what I can only describe as perfection. Give that guy a job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,119 Posted July 10, 2018 So, not exactly TV, but I’m not sure where I should put this. I’ve been watching a lot of George Carlin on YouTube as of late. He was a really funny guy all the way to his death... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 8,618 Posted July 23, 2018 Not strictly TV but I have been enjoying dipping into the Doctor Who marathon on Twitch. Over the past two months 12-16 episodes have been shown each night in a repeating loop three times. Most of the remaining complete stories. There is also a chat function which is hilarious. Last 10 episodes tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,938 Posted August 3, 2018 3 episodes in out of the 4 so far for Castle Rock, and 'okay'. Much vaunted as a Stephen King Universe, but as I don't get most of the Shawshank references, its a bit wasted on me. Decent, but in a poor mans Fargo way. However.......stumbled on Strange Angel. The absolute joy that Ridley Scott helped produce with The Terror, and I wondered whit next but never looked. Well this is whit. 8 episodes in, done the first 2. A late 1930's wannabe rocket scientist in yanksville gets caught up with an Aliester Crowley mob. Gonna try for the next 6 tomorrow lol. Weak willed, is the Whole of the Law.
