I tried to get them into Parks and Rec but it was a bit subtle for the boys, so we are now into The Office (US version) -

Strange, I would have thought Parks and Rec would be as easily accessible as The Office - you didn't try and make them watch the first season without warning them it becomes a completely different show?

The humour in The Office is a lot more overt and simple. Parks and Rec you really need to understand the characters, takes a little more investment I think

Also finished the latest season of Breeders....started as a comedy, def changed direction this season (started moving that way last season too) alot darker serious content.

Still a good series, with good writing and acting, but changes when I will watch something like this.

I've been catching up on S5 of Cobra Kai. Great fun.

Crucial

Tulsa King finds its groove after the introductory episodes. I’m enjoying it. Good characters and tight scripting.

MN5

Kaleidoscope on Netflix is good fun.

Not particularly original in any way but Giancarlo Esposito is terrific as always and the supporting cast are good.

Couple of episodes to go.

Bones

@MN5 does it get better than episode one? We bailed about three quarters through as while the premise and production seemed good, it felt like the dialogue and action was written by a 12yo.

here is the Netflix challenge, people watch the episodes in different order to one another, except for the reveal I believe..so your ep 1 wont be the same as someone else.

I watched right through, it was ok. Was I able to guess what happened before we got there?..yes, so no real surprises unfortunately

and some eps better than others and i reckon a better viewing sequence would have improved my experience as well.. so not sure if their experiment worked

I do kinda see @Bones point. Some bits are just a bit too try hard and ‘cool’. My first episode was when they started off in jail. What was yours ?

bayimports

@MN5 yeah i agree and if you start with a shit episode it kind of sets the scene, I think my first was the black episode, - whatever one that was lol

Bones

@MN5 my first was getting the group together and robbing the jewellery store for seed money. It was all so predictable but with shithouse lines.

Good call. Jai whatshisname is irritating too.

Anyway, the fern has spoken so you need to keep watching the rest.

Billy Tell

Not sure if already mentioned.

But Severance is o for awesome. Dystopic sci-fi thriller sprinkled with black humour. 10/10.

dogmeat

@Bones I just started watching. That was my first episode too. Then the jail one. Nothing astounding but I will persevere. It's sort of well done and it was interesting to see the back story of some of the characters from the first (yellow) ep.

Bovidae

Is anyone else watching The Last Of Us? I know nothing about the video game so this is all new to me. Plenty of hype around this show, and the first episode was promising.

@Bovidae I was gonna wait to binge...it is right up my alley, I loves me an apocalyptic series, I have enjoyed a few of the game adaptions and Pascal is usually bloody good, so I'm going in knowing I will very likely watch the entire series, whether it is a 5/10 or not...plus, along with the hype, it seems be rated well, not that this usually matters.

I admire this man’s honesty.

It looks good….the Resident Evil series was good….til it stopped being good. That’s encouraging

Slow Horses (S2)

Enjoyed it, well cast, Oldman is superb, his character is such a fluffybunny.
