funny you say this - I was only thinking that myself actually. For me The Americans from the start since RTE showed it I just watched it weekly and weirdly I think I enjoyed it more …. bit like awaiting Dallas long go on a Sat night

A lot of stuff I'll just series link it on the the DVR and catch up eventually. Very few TV shows nowadays that actually have me impatient for the next episode.

Watched Daniel Sloss's Jigsaw special there the other night, very smart and funny but boy was I glad I wasn't in a relationship when I watched it. At the time of recording he'd broken up 72 relationships and he's updated his Twitter bio, it's not over 30,000. Worth a watch ... If you're single.

Basq

^ He's an incredible comic..

.. the bit about *big ol' spoiler*

his sister with cerebral palsy

is both

hilarious and heartbreaking!

Electric Nitwit

Agree about Daniel Sloss, one of the smartest and funniest standups out there. He's playing Vicar St in May, looks like there's still tickets...

Gloomtastic!

Finally got round to watching Bird Box. Very good movie. A little bit far-fetched but very well told.

The Satanist

The Dirt; I'm not really feeling the cast, they don't live up to the real guys in any way. The Vince Neil guy is particularly weak imo. The story is great though, even if you're not a fan and never heard it. I've read the book and Vince Neil's autobiography, it's so much more immersive.

The dirt... Im a huge Motley Crue fan..

The film just feels so rushed... The actors don't do well bar tommy Lee's character

I'm not a fan of the band at all but read The Dirt. My expectations starting to watch the movie were pretty low but I ended up enjoying it for what it is. It's fairly flawed, skims over a lot of stuff and it has a lot of the cliches that rock biopics always have. Machine Gun Kelly as Tommy Lee Shiva above the rest of the cast but I didn't mind the rest of them. It never takes itself too seriously. A good switch your brain off movie, especially if you've read the book.

I enjoyed it more than Bohemian Rhapsody which I found to be an absolute borefest.

I feel like setting up a Walking Dead support group because no matter how turgid it gets, I still end up watching it...

I managed to kick it 3 seasons ago and have never looked back.

Try to surround yourself with healthy programming with plots which make sense and decent acting.

It takes a bit of willpower but you'll be very proud of yourself if you manage it.

Best of luck.

Just finished it

I think it's brilliant, kind of got lost an odd time in the first few episodes but it all came together in the end.

Leaves it open for another series if they want to.

Not really, he's just got a very clever bit about how we're conditioned to seek love and a relationship and as a result of that conditioning we may find ourselves forcing ourselves to live people we're not ultimately happy with. Worth a watch.

He's very good, here he is 8 years ago at 20.

is_that_so

Tried watching I think we're alone now, convinced that Peter Dinklage usually gets things right. Not here unfortunately and it's more one of those quantity over quality Netflix films. 2/5

Watched it when it came out and found it pretty hard to get through. Terribly cliched in places and ultimately disappointing but I know others loved it.

NIMAN

I see there is a Miami Showband Massacre film now on Netflix.

Might get round to watching it next week.

ShamoBuc

Formula 1 - drive to survive, watched it today, seriously interesting.
Had an interest in formula 1 already so it was great to see a real personality based show. You got to see drivers and principals, their relationships and how a team performs. Really enjoyed it.

Wasn't the BBC show Bodyguard meant to be added today? Don't see it.
