Good TV Shows

[Numbers]

Dopesick on Star is excellent so far, I've watched about 4 episodes, it's about the opiod crisis and seen from the different angles, from the gluttunous pharma company to the doctors they hoodwinked to the impact on the communities and also the start to finish of the legal process, I can't recommend it enough.

That sounds like heavy going? Or is that lighter than it sounds? It's a terrible name for a show but that's an interesting premise.

Just started Mindhunter and oh my god it's really very good. Not sure why I waited this long. I assumed all 'cop shows' were just terrible now.

It's quite heavy going I suppose but very interesting, Mindhunter is brilliant, it's a shame that Fincher isn't doing any more as it was building nicely.

Mindhunter was brilliant, don't get why there wasn't a 3rd season, manson would have been brilliant

It's all building towards the BTK killer isn't it?

[paddy no 11]

Yes, but looks like will never be made unfortunately

I'm quite enjoying the final seriess of Ozark, not sure when they release the second part, hopefully not to far down the line.

I just watched episode one. I thought it was pretty good, will watch more, but am wondering how the operation can possibly work when the Feds have already been alerted to the fact that our 'hero' is involved in something which requires huge amounts of cash....

Yellow jackets, worth it for Cristina ricci alone so far, could be good or could fade out quickly currently on episode 4

Watched Raised by Wolves. Started off pretty entertaining, despite being total nonsense, but found it faded continually as the season went on. I think the opening titles kept me coming back, and there were loads of cool ideas scattered around in there, but there's some really atrocious child actors in it and I just didn't end up invested in anybody.

I don't think I managed to finish it - I really should have loved it, but I just didn't care

Just got round to watching this (NB this is the Sci Fi, Ridley Scott Raised by Wolves). Absolutely loved the first few episodes, but it did drift off into mysticism and melodrama, before the cliffhanger ending introduced elements which were more wtf than wow. I'll will continue to watch if it continues even though (perhaps not surprisingly) it lost its way after a brilliant opening.

This is mad. Like objectively pretty terrible but somehow very enjoyable.

[paddy no 11]

Yup, I thought they put in a load of filler episodes and it faded badly, wouldn't bother with season 2.

I'm being told to watch euphoria next

[paddy no 11]

I watched gravediggers also which was very good, thewlis is a great actor

I watched landscapers also which was very good, thewlis is a great actor

3 episodes into series 2 and it's pretty good. The series has settled down to the point that most of the characters are basically indestructible (meaning that the script will find some way for them to survive no matter what), which is disappointing but not exactly unusual. Characters' motivations aren't always at plausible, but overall the show is different enough to be well worth watching.

I've been watching Mongrels again. I worry it's a bit racist.

I mean, the name's not particularly encouraging in that context. What's it about?

It's marrionation. Animal puppets living around an East End pub. It's very good.
It's Basil Brush for adults.

Peacemaker is worth watching. I just binged through the entire season.

The big wrestler has surprising comedic chops.

He does have previous acting credits, and he’s playing someone he’s portrayed once already, but yeah, it helps the wrestleboy is genuinely hilarious in it.

Yellowjackets went to shoiight

On euphoria now and not sure it's up to much either

Went to? I mean it was pure garbage from the start, but there was something oddly watchable about it. I guess it’s easy to be mysterious when your show is comprised mostly of plot holes and inexplicable dialogue.

I’ve heard Euphoria is good but imagine it’s like art-house skins, which sounds utterly awful.

[paddy no 11]

I mean the pace of it slowed down a lot which made it harder to get over the ridiculous side of it

Wouldn't describe euphoria as arthouse

Will report at end of season 1

[Mikey Brown]

White Lotus is fantastic.

Yep, Peacemaker is very silly indeed and well worth watching. I'd prefer it if it didn't get take itself (slightly) seriously at the end ... but Hollywood can rarely resist that in the final act.
