A real go to watch, especially after a stressful day. Guaranteed happy vibes.Quote:

Has anyone watched Community before? Thinks it’s quite old now, but I’d never heard of it until I stumbled upon a YouTube video of all its movie references side by side with the actual scene. They were quite good so giving it a try.
Watched the first episode and it was decent. Only half an hour an episode so a quick and easy watch.
It’s ok. Not as good as a lot of other US sitcoms out there though, The Office, Always Sunny, Curb, 30 Rock, Parks & Rec, Brooklyn 99, are all better.Quote:

If anyone is looking for another comedy in a similar vein to this type of stuff, one underseen gem IMO is "Party Down". There are only 2 seasons but it's brilliant.Quote:

They also seem incapable of layering the voice over into the main sound so the voices always seem to be sitting ‘on top’ of everything else which is rather disconcerting.
Haha. The majority of what I watch on French TV is dubbed. When I was still in the UK I used to find watching dubbed films really annoying - after 17 years here I hardly even notice it now.Quote:

This is why sometimes the subtitles don't match with what is actually being said. I also got to know the synchronisation voices of a few famous tv characters like Captain Picard, the Simpsons, Arthur Daley and Dr Hannibal Lecter to name a few. The Germans do a great job in synchronisation, which is a pity because most of their neighbours only do subtitles and their standards of English are much higher.Quote:

I’m half way through Squid Game. It’s actually annoying that it’s so popular as I have seen spoilers from memes on social media. One of which is obviously a twist at the end given why apparently happened in the episode I watched last night.Quote:

Who Do You Think You Are? is back and the first episode throws up some surprises.
Guilt series 2. Looks like it could be good, and already seen some hibs stuff. And the baddy is wearing the wrong colour of tie. 😉
I've watched the first 3 episodes, much better than season 1.Quote:

I've not watched series 1. Would I be able to start at Series 2 ok?Quote:

Enjoying it but even at episode 5 I'm 99% certain I have already worked out what the inevitable twist is going to be. It's not all that subtle (if I'm right of course).
You are more than likely right, I had it sussed early doors as wellQuote:

Anyone watching bake off this year?
Yes you are you liar 😜
Standard is very very high.
Bake Off and Strictly. Absolute golden time of the year for TV. Sure Masterchef Professionals usually starts around about November too.Quote:

I know I’ve spoken about it before, but 24 Hours in Police Custody is IMO one of the best shows on TV. It never shies away from difficult themes and I’m gripped to every episode. Disclaimer, I’m studying for a degree in Criminology and Law so clearly this is my kind of show, but there are loads of programs that get nowhere near the heart of the crime like this one does.
It's on my unmissible list each week.Quote:

I've been binge-watching some crime documentaries on Netflix lately - watched Catching Killers over the weekend and tonight found myself watching American Murder: The Family Next Door - an unflinching documentary looking at the Watts family 'annihilation', where Chris Watts murdered his pregnant wife, 3 and 4 year old daughters and tried to cover it up. Safe to say I went into my daughter's room after I'd finished watching it, gave her a kiss as she slept and watched her for a while. Genuinely felt sad and unbelievably angry seeing the story unfold.
Watched the first episode of the new Dexter revival tonight too, 'New Blood'. I'll confess I was a big Dexter fan (though I hated how it ended) and was a little unsure about what to expect. I don't like how they're using Jennifer Connolly's character, but I actually really enjoyed it. The switch that Michael C Hall has to his 'dark passenger' is incredible.
Just watched ep1 of Close to Me on Ch4, lots of potential.
Succession is the best tv I’ve watched in many a year. Nicholas Braun and Kieran Culkin are just incredible
War of worlds season 2 was really good
The Chestnut man on Netflix is superb :aok:
A bit of a guilty pleasure, but I tend to watch Alles Klara when I'm down in the dumps.
Not exactly Sherlock Holmes level of criminal investigations but it's light hearted and the scenery is really nice.
A brilliant cast all round. You never know whether to feel sorry for them or not. Jeremy Strong is also superb as Kendell. Logan is a bully, but he's a Hibby so maybe he's alright. 😉Quote:

The Outlaws. Full series (6 eps) on iplayer. Really good cast, a lot of proper laugh out loud one liners, bit far fetched but I really enjoyed it.
Currently catching up on season 1 of Succession superb
Just finished S3 of Narcos: Mexico. One of the best foreign shows out there I would say.

Adele was superb on her show on STV tonight.
Midnight Mass on Netflix seemed pretty brilliant to me.
On the face of it a bit of a vampire thriller but also so much more: Some very cerebral musings on religion, death and the very meaning of life within our cosmos. I’m honestly not joking.
I hadn’t heard of it until Ricky Gervais started going on about it. But I’m a fan of Ricky and he was right. A couple of the speeches within nailed the human existence to me. I’m maybe being pretentious, haha.
' My name' , Enjoyed Squid games so went with another dubbed Korean box set :top marks
Soundtrack is out of this world !
Finished Netflix’s ’Maid’. It’s great the big N can make series like this, brilliant and thought provoking.
I've started watching The White Lotus.
Enjoyably bonkers.
Not me, but saw this on twitter
Few weeks behind with @bbcrivercity and never thought I’d see the day that we’d hear all about @HibernianFC famous 5. I’m guessing @GrantStottOnAir had a lot to do with this. Bravo 👏🏻 https://t.co/HCQIeLLbCv
Start up season 3 :aok:
1 episode left of series 3 of The Last Kingdom, continues to be good.
Has anyone started Wheel of Time on prime? It looks very lord of the rings like, I’m quite fancying it.
I loved The White Lotus. Great performances and some great casting... Steve Zahn's kids for example.Quote:

Just got round to watching the final series of The Tunnel, cracking programme.
OK, Succession has a big budget and Brian Cox. But it’s predictable and when they run out of ideas they just play that tinkly piano and strings to attach some dignitas to the whole thing. Again and again as again. Most annoying incidental music ever.
Watched ep1 of Ragdoll on Alibi, looks good.
