@Crucial And I mean spectacular. 11/10
I'll go as far as 9.5/10 (I'm a tough judge)
You had my hopes up that the alltime best TV breast appearance award, currently held by Alexandra Daddario in True Detective, had been beaten.

Finished S2 of The Boys.
Still pretty good, plenty of shock value in some of the scenes.
I do like Butcher...comment he made which alludes to his Kiwi background and his characters British heritage - where I come from, c*nt is a versatile word (or something to that effect)
In that vein, he says to a 10 year old kid, and what did I tell you?
Kid - Dont be a fluffybunny! -
I know I posted this a few months ago finally got thru season 7 of Sons of Anarchy wow what and ending I’m sad that’s it done, I’m now about to start watching Mayans MC I know from what people say it has nothing on SOA but I will give it a try.
In terms on Gangs of London I enjoyed it, definitely worth a watch.

Gangs of London
yeah thats on my list now I just finished The Boys (I did watch ep 1 of Gangs of London - crazy ep that)
-
Barbarians - the new Netflix series about the Roman defeat to the Germanic tribes in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest.
Only a 6-part series so a quick watch. Reviews have been generally positive although there has been some comparisons to Vikings due to the hottie lead actress Jeanne Goursaud.
-
@taniwharugby I want to watch that the guy at work was raving about it.
-
Gangs of London is still not here despite Stan having the rights.
On The Boys S2 it was good, but I don't think it was as unputdownable as S1. It still cracks me up that there are two Kiwis as the leads.
Brave New World: This was both good and crap at times. Based on the Aldos Huxely novel. The main characters best friend (Kylie Bunbury) was hotter than her so that was kind of annoying as she got way less screen time.
Upload: Another afterlife show from one of the Parks and Recs guys. I thought this show was great and the female lead (Andy Allo) in it is hot.

Roadkill on BBC is very well acted.
Yeah bit different from the usual and a distinct lack of huge drama or action but despite all that, extremely watchable and catchy.
Felt it faded as things went on, and slipped a bit into the typical David Hare cliches.
-
Watched that first episode of The Undoing
Didn't hate it. Love Nicole Kidman, though she is starting to look old (he says as a fully grey haired man these days)
Full Frontal was good but by no means a must see.
Hugh Grant, in a break from tradition, is playing the role of Hugh Grant so far.
I hope it goes somewhere.

I watched a couple of decent shows on Netflix. Sneakerheads is just funny LA urban sports culture comedy, and the Playbook is a show that features a top coach each episode, a great insight into the minds of greats like Jose Mourinho, Patrick Mouratoglou and Jill Ellis

Just boarded the Schitt's Creek Express.
Going to enjoy the trip.
-
@MiketheSnow I have bailed half way through S3...may revisit after a while, but seemed very samesy for me.
Half way through Haunting of Bly Manor.
Is decent story, not as good as Hill House in the creepy side, couple of episodes are tough to get your head around whats going on, although figured out part of it early enough (re Miles & Flora)

Watched The Queen's Gambit on Netflix, a good show to watch with the missus. Acting is very good and story is interesting. Basically set in 60s following orphan girl who turns out to be a Chess Master and follows her struggles through life.
just started watching that ourselves the other night, agreed, well acted and just a bit different

Away from the streaming shows for moment, has anyone else been sticking out the death throes (pun intended) of Westside?
After investing a bit of time watching the various series as they came out I have to watch this final one but it is by far the weakest of all the OF/Westside ones.
The writers have admitted that they are hamstrung by themselves in having a show that provides a story that leads to somewhere that everyone knows. There are no plot surprises as we all know where the characters end up. This series is just tying the ribbon (or nailing the coffin lid).
The worst part is the character of Ted. The actor just doesn't have the chops to bridge between where he started and how he will reappear in OF.
It's a slow crawl to Rita's eventual death, evn if it does have the odd entertaining moment.

I kinda stalled on it halfway through season... 4, I think?
I didn't have any real problems with it, other than the new actress playing Cheryl being a charisma-black-hole, and somehow making that character un-fun and unlikeable. I mostly just stalled as I was staying with my sister over the lockdown, and it was one of the shows in the middle of the mutual-interest TV-show venn diagram... and I think she stalled on it, or forgot about it, leading to me not watching it for a while.
I've been thinking recently I should give it another crack... but it sounds like it's going to be diminishing returns... I was quite surprised to see just now - they've managed to eke 6 seasons out of it?
I was impressed they'd managed 4.
