Mine will say, “Okay, Larry,” whenever I go off on unspoken societal rules…
I rewatched Glengarry Glen Ross tonight - far out, it packs a punch no matter how many times you watch it. Essential.
Still never seen it!
The Hudsucker Proxy is free on YouTube just now. Watched it again Saturday night, brilliant!
Finally got a VPN over the weekend specifically for iPlayer and other UK-based stuff. First order of business is The Thick of It which I knew would be enjoyable and it is. Open to any and all recommendations in a similar vein (think Peep Show, Black Books, Lead Balloon)
Nighty Night?
Dark comedy style?
The League of Gentlemen
Jam (possibly a Torrent situation) Jam (TV series) - Wikipedia
Green Wing
Nighty Night is a good shout
I really enjoyed Things you should have done but possibly not for everyone Things You Should Have Done - Wikipedia
Can’t believe you’ve ommited Mrs Brown’s Boys…
Brilliant stuff! Keep em coming. Can be non-comedy / dark comedy too. I’m a fan of Black Mirror, Slow Horses etc.
You may like this, can be very dark mind you, but it’s also very good, and 9 seasons to work through…
The 12 Days of Christine episode is one of the best bits of British TV of the last 25 years
A glaring omission! ![]()
Watched the first episode of Alien Earth. Been looking forward to it for months. Seems very promising, looks super expensive. Has the atmosphere and aesthetic of the early films without feeling trite. Excited to see how it plays out
On Disney+
Just finished it now. Bleak, moving and profoundly beautiful TV. Havent watched anything like that in a long while. Cheers for the recommendation. And, yes, Jared Harris is so good isnt he?
I REALLY like it so far. It’s early days, but so far it’s much better than expected. It capture the genuine suspense and dread of the first 2 films really well. Plenty of edge-of-the-seat moments where you know something bad is going to happen, and they tease it out unbearably.
Lots of fun.
Can anyone warn me off sites where I might accidentally illegally watch Alien Earth in glorious high definition?
no vpn?
Battled our way through Queer on MUBI last night. It got better but initially both boring and pretentious (a bit like William Burroughs, hey?)
Can’t understand how you’d cast Daniel Craig as a tall, thin, effete 20-something but there you go.

Definitely doesn’t have it and I didn’t watch it last night.
