Started "The Loudest Voice in the Room" which is Russell Crowe in a fat suit (i think) setting up Fox News. Its actually pretty bloody good, and in a boon for me, only 7 episodes.
Contains the best line i have heard in a TV show in ages
"people don't want to be informed, they want to feel informed"
fucken aye Russ
I’m a big fan of Russ appearing in movies and tv shows.
It means he doesn’t have time to subject us to his music.
40 odd foot of get the fuck out
When I lived in Sydney someone graffitied the promo posters and changed ‘grunt’ to ‘fluffybunny’. Juvenile humour at its finest

@MiketheSnow ah didn't realise The Fugitive was in that format, had seen that and thought it could be good: Kiefer Sutherland I think?
Nothing new, but well done with knowing nods.

Started Last Chance U S4 (i think) last night.
Man, what a change.
We've moved out of the South, and in to Oakland
We have a coach that isn't a complete asshole, who actually seems to know what he is doing, and seems to care more about the players than himself.
We have players that aren't selfish assholes. Players working jobs, attending school, and playing football, happy to be there. Not selfish, entitled assholes given everything they need, and focusing on nothing more than getting out as soon as possible.
Maybe that won't make it as interesting down the stretch.
Nearly finished this. It has made me realise a few things
My life has been extraordinarily easy
America is a fucked up Country with some incredibly strange values.
It is incredibly sad watching kids from fucked up backgrounds have a realisation that their only realistic chance of a decent life is football, and if something jeopardises that, like injury, you can see the devastation set in. -

Watched S1 of Animal Kingdom.
Good series, loved the way Josh played that, knew he was upto something.
Ellen Barkin not looking too good though

I am only 3 years behind, but i am watching the first series of The Sinner.
After 3 episodes it feels like the best TV show i have watched in ages. Through 3 episodes i have not looked at my phone once. And i find it very hard to turn off as i want to know what happens next.
Only small quibble is, why does every character have to be damaged and have a secret. Does the detective really need to be a bit weird?
Even when they are trying to make Jessica Biel look plain, she is still pretty fine.
I hope this doesn't go sideways

Blue Mountain State - anyone watched this?
Watched a couple of eps, expect it one of those shows that will be funny AF at times, and meh at others.

I watched it a few years back, and yep it's a bit up and down.

@mariner4life I dont think you have changed that much to not like that kind of, er, humour....

I enjoyed it
Went to college in the States, so it brought back some good memories.

A momentous occasion in the MN5 household. The ex wife has relented and let the boys watch the Simpsons with me. Holy shit it is so good watching the re runs from the early and mid 90s when the show was pretty much the funniest shit there was. Seeing the boys piss themselves brings tears of joy to my eyes.
Some highlights include:
The one where Monty Burns builds a casino.
The one where Homer quits the power plant and plays Mr Burns head like a bongo.
The B Sharps episode.
The one where Homer re grows his hair and becomes a big shot at the Power plant.
Groundskeeper Willies rant about Scotsmen.
Homer running after the fat German exchange kid and whipping him with a towel.
Who shot Mr Burns.......
Not bad for a weeks worth of watching in random order. I expect many more to come.
