Rabbit Hole is pretty fun. It could well tie itself in a knot and end-up delaying resolution for several seasons though.
I'm worried it could be like that Blacklist show which had a great set up and could have been excellent if two series at most but decided against wrapping up the story and went forever.

White Lotus
watched it on a few flights we've taken recently....dont get all the hype (other than brief scenes where we get to see Sydney Sweeny and Alex daddario in bikinis)

Finished Parks & Recreation over the weekend.
Oddly, I watched the first few eps a couple of times in the past and couldnt get into it, then decided to go beyond my usual 3 eps to decide as I know people that enjoyed it and I gotta say, it did get much better.
Also finished S1 of an Idiot Abroad, some gold in there!

Succession
S04 E03
DID NOT SEE THAT COMING
Been a brilliant start to the final season
Can they keep it going for another 7 episodes?

Not sure I will like it as much with the best character not in it anymore.

Stacey Dooley Ready for War on the bbc is a good watch.
Really hope the counterattack starts soon and that Ukraine crushes Russia.

Sadly unlikely, conscripts and masses aren't that great on attack, but defence is much easier - even freezing starving Argentinian conscripts did OK in places in the FI
-
Yes. Give the a kicking, get them the fuck out of Ukraine and leave it there.
-
Yes please

Shrinking is just fucken really good eh.
Edit: oh yeah and Jessica Williams is shithot. Flavour of the month
Nine episodes in and I really like this show.

Technically a movie but related to a TV series. The Last kingdom - Seven Kings Must Die.
For me the series gradually got more and more mediocre the longer it went on. So the question here is whether the one off TV film could go back to what originally made the series good or would it just milk the cow?
Without question the tit has run dry. Dryer than a spinster witch’s tit. It’s fucking awful. Just a montage of individual cut scenes that tell no story and frankly are just conning the audience to keep the Netflix subs going. Just dross.
No tits.

@Catogrande i use to be a HUGE bernard cornwell fan, read everything he released....but even this series of books just dragged....i got to the point i couldn;t remember what happened from one book to the next so i gave up
His Winter King series would have made a great 3 season series, done and dusted

Agree

Anyone see Beef on Netflix? Had the guy who played Glenn on WD. First episode had that mix of potential and meh. Not sure whether to bother continuing.

That's putting it fucking charitably.
I recently finished book 5, and thought "fuck... the last 3 books have been identical. Still... it's probably just the 1 more to tick off, and then I can forget about it."
Look up the name of the next one to download... What The Actual Fuck!? There's a total of 13 of the fluffybunnies? Just... HOW? How on earth can he fucking stretch this out for another EIGHT books?
Sharpe was repetitive as fuck, but at least slightly amusing. This is just repetitive dire whinging by a grown man. -
@Kruse damn! i think i got to book 5 or 6....but the fact i couldn't tell you which one tells you everything i think...i legitimately couldn't get back into them without risking buying a book ive already read
i know there are lots of the sharpes novels but at least they still follow the course of the war so you feel its still progressing....fucked if i could tell you a timeline of these novels which is sad
-
I haven't read any of the books, but watched all seasons of the show. It's fine as a late night switch your brain off when all you want is a few battles and the odd attractive actress.
TBH, I thought the show improved from the first season on, as it reminded me of the first season of Vikings, limited budget at first to see of it was a success which made the world seem small, then increasing budgets and larger/better battle scenes.

@Rancid-Schnitzel I watched ep 2 last night, has potential although unsure how they keep it going for 10, but most reviews say it picks up from ep 3...
