One of my favourite British comedies, hope you get to see the sex doll episode and the new satellite dish on the balcony - two of the funniest things I have ever seen on TV

Havent got there yet (supposedly have every episode) been some excellent eps so far, loved the one with the Great Dane!

Plenty of genuine laugh out loud moments!!

@voodoo yeah well made undoubtedly, but slooooow and a bit happy clappy earnest.

It's joined the long list of things that I save to watch one day but never get around to

My viewing
25% bail after 20 minutes
25% give it 2-3 episodes and give up
15% never finish
25% finish and am a bit meh
15% really enjoy

Don't watch a lot of TV. In the main it's a time filler until I go to bed with a good book.

Sport excluded of course. I can sit glued to a Test match for all 5 days

Those stats are pretty accurate to be honest. It’s so easy nowadays to give up on shows if they don’t grab your instantly. I’ll only hang onto slow burning ones if lots of people have said it’s worth a watch.

I also think nowadays it is so easy to intend to watch something down the line and just never get round to it unlike the old days when you had to be home at a certain time to watch something. Case in point my ex wife and I had a laugh about the ante natal classes we were supposed to attend before my first son was born in 2008 but they were on at the same time as Desperate Housewives which was a show we both enjoyed.

Fuck the classes, we were too lazy to figure out how to record it on demand so we never went.

Somehow my son survived and thrived.

Probably similar stats to me and sometimes the finished ones aren't at all what you thought you would watch.

There’s been too many times that I’ve finished something “just to see what happens at the end” and been massively disappointed and wondered why I bothered.

Most recent case of that is Glitch

Fuck you, you terrible load of utter shit.

It seems like you guys need better quality control. Most shows I start watching I have a decent idea I'm going to like them enough to finish the season. I usually watch stuff suggested by mates and on forums and then discuss with others about a show and can gauge whether it will suit me.

The big failing recently would obviously be Yellowstone.

I watched the HBO John Adams show too and didn't find it enthralling, but good enough to watch the whole, shortish, mini series. Not enough hip hop in it if for me.

You can’t have the Hop if you don’t have the Hip.

What’s Coolio doing these days ?

Probably still living in the gangsta paradise?

I am the same. I'm very selective with what I watch, but if I start a show I almost always continue to watch it. Even the few I haven't continued with, for one reason or another, have been at the end of a season, not after just a few episodes.

While I watch a decent amount, I do tend to watch most of what I start...

Some stuff I am unsure of, I might d/l it (on platforms I dont have) wait for a while, see if it pops up here or its IMDB ranking increases, the ones that get below 7 from thousands of users that are usually on the money...I mean some sound shit hot, but will be utter shite!

One I have my eye on (purely for my guilty pleasure...Ms Beckinsale) is Guilty Party, looks and sounds like it is going to be average (at best) but I shall wait and see, current IMDB of 5.3, so looking like one to miss...

dogmeat

@nepia I mainly go on stuff that either looks interesting or has been hyped here. Obviously that is where I am going wrong

Raised By Wolves

Sadly, this series had potential based on the trailer and early episodes, but the season finale was a letdown. Travis Fimmel gets to play Ragnar in space.

watch the first couple of episodes of the new season of Yellowstone, not where i thought it was going after last season...but i still like it

MiketheSnow

The Sinner is clicking along very nicely

antipodean

Season three of Narcos Mexico is on and it focuses on the Juárez, Tijuana and Sinaloa cartels fighting for dominance. I'm just as hooked on this as I was at the beginning.

Crazy Horse

@kiwiwomble did Stan drop the whole season at once or are they drip feeding it?

They dropped the frost two as a “season premier” but the rest look like they’re coming weekly

Cheers mate. Guess I will be waiting a while to watch it then. I like to Binge.

Kiwiwomble

@crazy-horse agreed, started watching before realising, will try and give it a few weeks before we watch another

Bovidae

Yellowstone starts in NZ tomorrow and we are also getting episodes 1 and 2 as it is a double episode. I am assuming both NZ and Aust will get weekly episodes thereafter once it airs in the US.
