It's OK, the acting is sh*tty, the story is good for the first couple of seasons. Lots of riding in it, too much actually.


I tried watching the first episode of the latest season and gave up.

Watched the first 2 episodes of the detororists which didn't grab me, seems fairly boring, does it pick up as it goes along?

Nope, that's the pace throughout.

It seems a pleasant easy watch, with the odd chuckle here and there, but yeah, I guess I'm a little disappointed too based on all the gushing here. It's "grand'.

Its got obvious flaws, the acting at times is poor and to much at times seem to be happening, but the first few seasons are an easy enough binge.

The last few seasons especially the current one are a slog though, they are trying to cram to much in and its not ideal whatsoever.

Didn't get it

Detectorists is such a lovely change of pace from the usual TV I watch that I'm not surprised it's not fast paced enough for some.

Toby Jones is some actor.

The backdrop and soundtrack are class also.

Anyone watch some of paradise pd yet?

Watched the first episode just there, funny enough but not amazing or anything. I've never seen Brickleberry so don't know how it compares.

Someone here previously described Detectorists as a warm hug of a TV show (apologies I can't remember who it was) but that's exactly how I feel about it.

A great way to describe it. It's a feel good show that's sweet and charming. It's funny but not, to my mind, really a comedy either (despite being hilarious at times) so perhaps that's colouring people's first impressions. It has a lovely ending too.

Now then, did any of you see University Challenge last night?

I watched the first episode about a year ago and didn't grab me at all. I tried again a couple of weeks ago and grew to like it, then love it.

After the chaos of Friday night dinner, it has a nice soft pace.

Can't wait to get stuck into Ozark.

Gloomtastic!

Family movie night last night was Kubo and the Two Strings. Kind of a weird one to explain but it’s an animated tale of a Japanese boy with only one eye. The lead role is played by an Irish kid from Donegal - Art Parkinson.

Watched the first half of the first episode before my wife came in. Turned if off before I got told how stupid it was but I liked what I saw.

Seen some middling reviews of it online.

I watched the first episode and I did like the completely inappropriate humour

A family affair : An Interesting and thought provoking documentary, but I think it was a self indulgent exploration of the family's matriarch. Perhaps she was narcissistic, yes, and caused damage to her kids and grand-kids, but the woman deserved to die in peace, at least. 

Glass Castle: Great story, poorly executed and very rushed. Watchable.

Detecorists was really great you dont need to think, enjoy shots of nature and simple, talk type of tv show.

I lasted halfway through the first episode and gave up - for me it felt very much like yet another variation on Family Guy (with shades of American Dad, itself too often similar in style to Family Guy for comfort), which for me is a formula that has gotten stale and kind of boring...

Having said that, I was pleasantly surprised by the first episode if Groening's Disenchanted so at least I've got something new to watch now

On a different note, I noticed that Flavours of Youth, a collaboration between the studio that made the excellent Your Name and... some other people, has cropped up within the last month or so. Based on how good Your Name was, that's probably worth a watch.

People who think this show is good need to get out more. I tried it twice and bailed after 4 episodes.

It's binge TV for people who only watch TV.

Who only watch TV with little or no social life.

That's the only excuse for thinking Ozark is good.

I was thinking about starting it, the 8.3 rating on IMDb looked promising but I think I’ll leave it due to your great insight.

You can not like a show without sh1tting over people that do like it
