gatekeeping metal is one thing, but kids tv? give yourself an uppercut.

Keep your violence to yourself. Nerds are talking, nerds are talking...

And don’t get me started on Wandavision.

Me too. Wandavision had it's moments but overall was decent but not amazing. S1 of Madalorian was really good, this one had too many perfect timing lucky saves and a bit too much filler. The overall story was dragged out.

I’ll just say that the end was unexpected and worth the wait.

I quit after 3 episodes. 1st is amazing, but it gets very dull very quickly.

Stick with it. Ep 2 is dreadful, but it improves again quickly.
The season is actually mostly shite. The Littlest Hobo set in the Star Wars universe.

Have very little time for star wars geekdom but thoroughly enjoyed The Mandalorian as a whole. Some weak episodes but tied together nicely.

A lack of awareness of the Star Wars universe is required to enjoy the Mandalorian in full, I imagine.

Down to two left, although it is quite compelling, the idea that it would be legal for a judge to sit on a murder trial of the man who is accused of killing the man that was allegedly driving the judges car when he hit and killed the brother of the accused is fanciful...

My Octopus Teacher on netflix, worth it even without the story. Needs viewing on a telly not tablet or phone.

La Revolution on Netflix. A not-quite-zombies re-telling of the French Revolution.

Only a couple of episodes in so far, but it's pretty good. Well acted, an intriguing premise and some decent potential avenues for the story to progress. Plus lovely French girls...

Brilliant viewing and strong message there.

You have to constantly fight off threats and adapt in life, but it’s your kids that kill you in the end.

Very enjoyable. Gets increasingly hokey as the season goes on though. Worth watching it for Marilou Aussilloux alone.

We're binging all the old seasons to catch up. Up to season 4 now.
Some of the premises are properly daft but it's great fun watching Adrian Dunbar do Ted.

Me and the mrs have only seen the first series and thought it was boring, does it do a Riker's beard at some point?

Surprised Line of Duty is so popular. Have tried watching it, but it's plot lines and twists are just ridiculous... give me something like Unforgotten every day of the week.. classy crime show which doesn't need farcical plots to create suspense...

Yep. Watch it with the Mrs, who loves it. I find it all a bit silly.

Each to their own I guess
