Am I missing something with the series Cunk on Earth? Everybody is raving about it but I tried to watch it and it’s trying way too hard to be irreverent and cramming too many “jokes” into every scenario.
I feel this show is appealing to those who have never seen Allan Partridge. I am a fan of Diane Morgan, but this is not good.
One trick pony, seen her schtick once you’ve seen it all. The problem is all of the experts are in on the joke.
Welcome To Wrexham. Disney+
Good documentary following Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mchelhennys buyout of Wrexham FC. Doesnt really satisfactorily answer the question of why two Hollywood A listers bought a non league football club but their intentions seem genuine enough. There’s a great cast of colourful characters from the local community too. Sort of a real life Ted Lasso doc.
That’s what I felt as well. It was lacking a little outrage.
What did you reckon? I think he’s definitely showing promise even if this didn’t totally nail it. Mia Goth completely steals the show.
The Wu-Tang Clan series on Disney+. Pretty trashy in places but it was very enjoyable
I did wonder what US audiences would make of it. There are some extremely local people in there. Had to chuckle when they would randomly throw up the subtitles
Loved it. But, disclaimer, I am a total Cronenberg fanboy, be it father or son.
Enjoying ‘The Last Of Us’ and ‘The Bear’ after seeing the recommendations on here.
Also just watched ‘Untouchable’ with François Cluzet and Omar Sy which really made me laugh. Had it on DVD for years and only just got round to seeing it.
Really loved ‘Ted Lasso’ which I was surprised by. A heartwarming, easy watch.
Binged it yesterday. Enjoyed too.
Cocaine Bear?
No but will definitely get on that when it’s available
The Bear on Apple+, kitchen sink drama of the highest order.
I thought it was the best thing i’d seen in years.
Rewatching Arrested Development as it’s not going to be on UK Netflix for much longer. The first couple of seasons are just so damn good. Can’t believe its 20 years old - Jason Bateman looks so young compared to Ozark.
Should I watch Yellowstone?
I now have this lined up. Heard only good things.
Heard it’s great. On the list.
Last of Us + Walking Dead was giving me nightmares, so had to take a break for something more uplifting.
Thoughtfully done and Chris Packham is the perfect presenter for it.
Watched that with our youngest, our theory is that it’s an Ozark prequel. As you say it starts out great, the reboot is one of the worst things I’ve ever seen though (and it knows it is).
Yeah I started watching the Wu Tang thing as well. Kinda good! Better than expecting
Better on BBC has been decent so far. All filmed round our way. The Leeds accents are on point
