About 5 seasons into Seinfeld.
It provides plenty of amusing situations, but I think Jerry is a bit of a dick, as I previously mentioned, the stand up scenes, not funny.
Kramer is the best thing about the show, and even then, I think they know this and overplay this somewhat.
Unsure if I'll finish all the seasons, might have a break with Home Improvement.
Am 3 eps into latest season of Slow Horses, I still enjoy this show

Completely different to everything else being mentioned recently, but Nobody Wants This is a pretty good new Netflix comedy.
Ms Antipodean and I binged this. Much better than I thought it would be. Some very funny lines and good characters.

Yeah first episode was a good watch, definitely carrying on.
Does it look like it's going to go into the real sick (accusedly) shit?
One of my main problems now - is looking at previous, and current, wrestlers - and constantly wondering "where you one of them?"
Drew McIntyre - in particular... at one point had a whole storyline about being "Vince McMahon's favourite". Either... that was complete kayfabe, or... guy's a prick. And I keep watching his recent career wondering... is this all a matter of pushing him out the door? But it keeps stretching out, and you keep paying him a wage...?It looked like they were pulling their punches a bit when they announced that WWE and Netflix had a broadcast deal, but then they dived back into it, but, due to the format they didn't really going in depth. If you want more in depth about that then the Behind the Bastards podcast has a good episode on it.
The less you know about the background stuff in wrestling I guess the better it would be. If I hadn't listened to the above podcast way more of this would have been new to me.
Some of the wrestlers comments come across quite bad in hindsight. Especially around CTE, which they all completely poo pooed despite the evidence relating to Benoit.
Also, McMahon's face looks weird as fuck, don't know if it's old man or plastic surgery, likely a mix of both I'd say.

The brother and his wife (and the storyline surrounding them by the end) might be my favourite part of the show.

I really liked his goofy character in Veep too.

There is nothing like pro wrestling in the world, nothing.
Possibly mentioned on here before but over Covid I went nuts watching YouTube interviews with loads of them ( the ones still alive that is which is approximately half of the stars of the 80s )
Vince is NOT a popular guy on the whole however some do argue he never made anyone take roids/painkillers/coke etc. everyone did it themselves.
I can’t wait to watch this show

They make that claim, but that's B/S, don't take them and Vince doesn't schedule you/contract you - well in the case of roids, I'm sure they all did coke of their free will.
As I'm used to the early 90s era and remember through the 90s seeing the not musclebound as much wrestlers of today is strange.

Sorry maybe I worded that wrong.
Unless they were natural giants like Andre, One Man Gang, King Kong Bundy, Big Show etc or just absolutely ruthless on the mic ( like Jake the Snake who whilst a big strong guy was pretty average compared to others ) then they had to take roids to get to the level he wanted. It was up to each individual to do it if he wanted to make it.
There were some cartoonish looking guys in the 80s, even guys like Rick Rude and Randy Savage didn’t seem that big until you saw them standing next to regular sized people. Absolute freak athletes.

RIngs of Power
not bothering with spoilers as i dont thank anyone cares, im an old school Tolkien nerd so was always going to watch it
loads of stuff theyve got wrong that i wont repeat, but two things i do like
betrayal by the dwarves, i havent checked if this has any grounding in canon...almost just assume they made it up...but they put some good work into showing that some elves and dwarves were friends and they traded...and then why there would be so much dislike between the two races later
...Sauron....i know they have made a bit of stuff up in the first season but this series has more grounding in the books with Sauron coming in the guise of Annatar to manipulate the elves into making the rings...i have enjoyed actually seeing Sauron...manipulating people to do his biding...and then openly being Sauron...actually seeing him use his power....you do get a glimpse of why the elves in the third age were so afraid they were basically hiding...but also very much wanted him defeated

In 1993 giallo master Sergio Martino made a Twin Peaks knock-off for Italian TV. It completely copied the music and sound design, and even had an off brand Ray Wise actor. Chock full of absolute babes, including Edwige Fenech. Not bad so far:

Finally got around to watching Shogun (4 eps in), does anyone else feel that the actor playing Blackthorne is terrible? I've seen the actor in other stuff and he's been fine but he just doesn't suit the role to me.
That would be consistent with the 1980s mini series, then. Where I found the Hollywood heavyweight Richqrd Chamberlain hard to believe. Mis-cast.
I watched the 1980s miniseries sometime in the last decade.

Funnily enough I was comparing him with Chamberlain in my head as the comparison. Despite being a miscast yank he was much better than the new guy. Hell, even Clive Plank Owen would have been a better option.
I see they've already greenlit two new seasons.
Considering the actual watchable lead of the show is no longer in it I'm not that interested, will need to get awesome reviews for me to continue watching. -

Chamberlain was miscast in everything since Dr Kildare. Poor actor and by all accounts something of a knob. Spike Milligan’s quote sums it up:-
RC: Spike, why do so many people seem to take an instant dislike to me?
SM: Saves time.
