The Goggle Box Thread

Watched the first couple of Dear Child on Netflix .It’s really intriguing and well made, I’ma hoping it holds up for the rest of the series.

Just finished series 1last night, me and my missus enjoyed it all, waiting for series 2 now.

Yeah my missus liked it too while I lost interest around E04. Too far fetched for me

The Rig started off OK and ended up absolutely wank.

Indeed it is. Half the stuff I've watched has come from this thread tbf! My partner will even ask if there's anything on here when we're after something

Finished Succession. Brilliant all the way through with some top acting

But have you heard Pusha T's remix of the opening theme??

Three years after it came out I’m enjoying staged on the iplayer, actually filmed during the pandemic, it’s basically Micheal Sheen, David Tennant trying to get the first play into a theatre after the pandemic, basically ends up with them taking the piss out of each other and the useless director via zoom calls, episodes are 15-20 minutes long so you’ve not wasted much time if you don’t enjoy it

Peep Show first aired 20 years ago today.

And I’ve still never watched a single second of it.

I couldn’t hear it though so does it count?!

Love peep show. Might rewatch it all, hopefully it’s not aged like Russell Brand.

Peep Show is possibly the best show to come out of the UK in the last 20 years.
Didnt one of the writers of Peep Show also write Succession?

Yep, Jesse Armstrong

We watched The Rig on Prime at the weekend.
Supernatural thriller, with a decent cast.
Bit like Fortitude set at sea.
I lost interest halfway through but if you like stuff like Fortitude or Dark, you will probably like this.

Don't know Fortitude but if you are refering to Dark that was a German Netlix original then I thought it was great.

Gave The Rig, I think 2.5 episodes, before deciding it was very poor.

 

[Boozad]

Fortitude is shit but I couldn’t stop watching it for some weird reason.

Finished Preacher for the second time and I forgot just how bad the ending was. Mrs B was not impressed after loving every other episode.

I've watched Preacher twice as well. Whilst I can see why folk might not like the whole of the last season I am fine with it. I give the 4 seasons a VG+ rateing overall

 

[Boozad]

a VG+ rateing

Did you ever collect or deal in comics?

And season 4 is fine up until the last episode, the ending is super wank. I need to re-read the comics, I can't remember how it ended.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I liked Preacher in general, quite a lot.

But that repeat episode in series one to show the Cowboy (IIRC? It was a long time ago) repeatedly committing the same acts over and over AND OVER again to show his version of hell was infuriating.

I get why, but it was very fucking annoying.

 

[BillyDee]

I thought Preacher was top drawer telly. Absolutely batshit fucking mental, but loved every minute of it.
