I thought was BS was the one in the house and the beat down he took the tyre iron from the weedy little dude...
Yeah that was quite annoying eh. All of a sudden he was ridiculously weak and couldn't hit a wall if it was in front of him.

Stumbled across Bel Air on TVNZ on demand the other night and next thing ya know I've watched 4 episodes.
Pretty much a more detailed, less comedic version of the fresh prince many of us grew up with but set in modern times. Uncle Phil def not as large as I remembered him.

Yep, this was an absolutely idiotic scene. TBF, I'm not a book fan and the series hasn't really grabbed me. I went to watch an episode the other day thinking I must be up to Ep 8 and it was only EP 5 and I was disappointed.
It's not bad, but I wont rush to watch a second season.

I thought Reacher was light entertainment and OK but I am much more looking forward to Slow Horses.
Hope it translates to the screen OK. Much of Herron's writing is very descriptive and those descriptions are often the best bits. Great characters though and that usually makes a TV show (if they get them right)

Apologies if this has been mentioned, but was the entire season of Reacher based on one book?
Yes. So the actor playing Reacher has a job for life...
that dude is fucking huge
6'5 if i'm not mistaken
188cm according to Google, so 6'3"
Still. Fucking unit.
188cm is 6’2”. 191cm is 6’3”.
I thought you were a maths and science nerd?

Just finished ‘This is going to hurt’ on BBC iplayer. Based on the best seller of the same name, by Adam Kay. Centres around the author’s time as junior doctor in the NHS in the early 2000s (played by Ben Whishaw).
Black humour, graphic visualisations of child birth, sadness; it’s polarised opinion. I thought it was unmissable, but it’s not a feelgood watch.

Severance on Apple TV+. About a company where some employees have had surgery to disconnect their work memories from outside work ones. Very weird indeed.
Yeah, very weird. I'm two eps in and it hasn't grabbed me but I'm kind of interested in where it goes.

After Life
Didn't really get this series to be honest. There is some laughs in it, but not a hell of a lot. It's pretty damn depressing on the whole & there isn't a huge evolution of characters. Some of the characters are pretty out there and worth a bit of a giggle. But it just sort of feels like you are watching a few months in somebody's life where they were seriously miserable.
Probably fits a few bullshit stereotypes about UK life for the Yank audience. Although the quantity of swearing, especially the C word, is to behold. One of the genuine big laughs is when Diane Morgan drops it for the first time.
All in all, probably one for hardcore Gervais fans, but not so much others.

Reacher
Think they got the character quite in synch with the one from the books. Atrocious French accent on his mother though, they should be ashamed about that one.
Am I the only one that thought he was a bit of a doppelgänger for our own Riche McCaw?
One thing I thought they may have stuck too close to the books is the pace. The books are seriously slow. As was this.

Agree, bit of a wasted series for me. Got sick of his depression (time to move on mate), laughs just not consistent.
