On the back of this discussion I started Yellowstone.
-Stop fucking mumbling! Or if you are going to mumble make sure the show is distributed only on platforms with captions (useless Neon)
- The not hot chick. Not hot. Bra working overtime to push what she has up under her chin.
- Characters very unbelievable. At least with SOA the setup was so far removed from normal life for viewers that the characters could be as outrageous as they liked.
Not doing it for me.

So as I said many months back, I started The Office, the US version.
Last night, I finished it, and I gotta say, it was excellent, particularly the last few seasons, first few were fine, but I felt it got better as it went on, I'd say went from a 7/10 upto 8, maybe even 8.5/10
I liked most of the characters, but was growing tired of Michael Scott and he left about the right time, Bobby California was superb, Nellie was great, Creed was funny, Meredith, Toby haha, although Andy, Kelly & Ryan annoyed me, but Dwight, Kevin and Jim were probably my faves.
Need to find something else to watch now...have ONly Fools and Horses and been trying to find Father Ted to start as I know there are plenty of those I missed!
:::
Found my self getting a bit emotional the last few eps, inwardly cheering for Dwight when he was made Manager, and how Jim pushed for it, then the whole Jim/Pam thing...man I'm getting old and soft, but that got me, then Dwight and Angela, especially when he found out Phillip was his son.

I watch Squid Game over the last week.
I thought the concept was quite good and quirky, although the voice-overs drove me nuts. Not necessarily the way in which the voice over was done, just the ridiculous sounding voices of some of them. Hard to describe, but to me they seemed too deep. I also didn't think the voiceovers were as slick as shows like High Seas, where it actually took me an episode to realise they were voice overs.
Either way, I'm a distracted TV viewer (will play on my phone intermittently etc), so voice overs are far better than trying to read subtitles in the evenings when I'm already tired.

About half way through and yeah we switched the voiceovers off and went for subtitles. If anything it forces you to engage properly with the show.

I’m finding it tough when the “workers” are chatting to each other though as I have no idea which one is the cop half the time !

I had a look at squid game too as my 12 year old son asked if he could watch it. After checking out the first episode, the answer was no. I'm actually fairly relaxed about it but what mum says goes.
Started watching Rake the other night on recommendation from a mate. Its an older Aussie series about a pretty loose lawyer. Pretty dam good actually. Will stick with it.

That's good to hear. Been sitting on my list for months, and I hadn't got to watching it. As a kid who grew up on shows like Blue Heelers and Water Rats, I love a good Aussie show.
I started watching an Aussie series called "Glitch" a few years back about a small town where people started rising from the dead (not in a zombie way) but Netflix at the time only had the licence to two of the four series. It's not a bad watch if you can find the whole series.

If you can be bothered going back loads of posts on here I gave my view on Glitch which echoed someone else ( can’t remember who ). Started well but turned to absolute shit in it’s last season. Preposterous, stupid, fucken confusing and a really unsatisfactory ending.

Foundation on Apple+
Only three episodes in but slowly building. The effort in developing the effects for the environments is stunning.

@mn5 possibly me, I bailed after a couple, I usually put up a review...
Finished Vigil.
Pretty good show, intense final episode

If I recall ( I’ve forgotten most already ) it was good up until the middle of season 2…….
Vigil is one on the “to watch” list at some stage.

@mn5 I think I bailed after 4 eps haha...usually give a series that much of my time to win my favour

Me too but I think we give them a bit of a chance given there seems less to choose from in these awkward times.
It took a massive nose dive but the other half persuaded me to stick it out.

The Walking Dead
Gave up midway through the sixth season. I can't for the life of me see what the hype was about.

Good show with a great denouement but a lame way to wind it up I thought. Did anyone give a shit about that relationship?
