Mrs M and I are back on Billions. It's okay, but pretty much every character is an unlikable dick. I hear it gets better, so i am sticking with it

Sounds like the Fern... except the getting better part.

That's good point, its hard to root for anyone now, with the exception of Wags. I've started S5 but am not loving it like i used to. Will probably persevere.

Wags is fucking great

What's Dan Soder like in Billions? He plays Mafee.

mariner4life

@Tim Mafee is a good character

He actually plays a likeable character.

Billions is popcorn entertainment, good while watching but instantly forgettable, yet I know some people who rave about it.

Tim

That's cool. Soder is pretty funny and seems like a good guy when he's on podcasts. He was one of the first guests (2nd I think) on Cum Town.

Crucial

I see there is a second series of 'Save Me' (Save Me Too)

Not on any of the usual platform here (or UK). Seems to be a Sky/Now production and we will have to wait until Neon pick it up.

Anyone else checked out Upload on Amazon? I watched the whole first season yesterday, really enjoyed it. Got a bunch of other stuff on deck, some new, some old that I have missed and am checking out. S2 of After Life, S1 of Better Things, S1 of Dead to Me, Giri/Haji, Gangs of London, and ZeroZeroZero.

I am supprisingly still pretty busy woring from home for over a month, so have not been able to watch as much as I thought I would be able to

Bones

@Crucial yeah we only just finished S1 when it came out (sky one I think) but decided to give it a rest after s1 as it got pretty wayward and frustrating eh.

I found it depressing but somehow compelling.

Stopped watching Startup in episode five after being subjected to the laziest script writing for someone hacking someone else's computer/ accounts. Like The Net/ Swordfish type bad.

JC

So nobody watching Killing Eve S3? For the first half of Ep1 I thought, “Na, lost its mojo” but just finished Ep4 and it’s awesome again. Some real twists and great writing.

@JC I'm clearing some other series I have on the go so I can binge it.

I think this can be said of Ozark too. There's not one I empathise with in the slightest. They're all fucken creeps one way or another. The only ones I did like died or left the show.

@MN5 every time a character looks to be reforming, a couple of episodes later they do something that shows they are just the same arrogant selfish asshole

Agreed. Marty is such a slimeball and Wendy a bulldozing bitch. The kids are both fucked ( understandably ).....am I a bad person for thinking Ruth deserved the beating she got ?

It's compelling viewing but there certainly isn't a single character worth rooting for.

Speaking of that there's not a single hottie in it either.
