The annoying characters took it down at least a point for me. Was there one that you felt empathy with?

Our Flag Means Death - Pirate thing apparently a comedy.

I love Taika's sense of humour but Rhys fucking Darby? Why?

Half an episode in and I have ditched it. Darby is unwatchable.

I can't believe this guy has made a successful career overseas. Is there something that non NZers find funny about him that is just pure cringe to us?

Bones

@crucial might be a sense of humour.

He's about as funny as Leigh Hart so it can't be that.

Just finished season 4 of The Last Kingdom - had no idea they were going beyond s3 tbh

It's a good watch. Kind of like Vikings-lite and I started it years ago because of the Bernard Cornwell books.

Season 5 dropping next week I'm told by Google

Been watching Season 5 and am 6 episodes in. Not bad and the fighting scenes remain pretty good. A few quibbles though. The CGI for the wider shots is laughable in some cases and the dialogue is often quite clunky. It seems to me that the further they stray from the source material the poorer the storyline becomes and they add unnecessary dialogue to explain what is going on. Disappointing but I will persevere.

Jeez never seen that happen before on an epic book series...

@bones I finished last night, enjoyable series, most of the fight scenes you could give some latitude that they were believable, only one I thought was BS was the one in the house and the beat down he took the tyre iron from the weedy little dude...

Is Reacher meant to be on the spectrum? I liked his dead pan one liners but some made me wonder.

Good fun series. Just the thing for rainy afternoons in Cornwall.

So I’m watching Bosch on your recommendation and really enjoying it so far. The only issue I have is that every now and then I think I’m seeing bloody James Nesbitt.
