    Disenchantment is very good.

    Binged 4 episodes of Maniac this morning..

    .. it's really bloody good thanks to some cracking performances from Emma Stone and Jonah Hill.

    Great, all episodes added at once? I had expected they would drip feed it, particularly with a-list cast.

    Yep, all at once. Limited series so no potential of further seasons, which I'm all for.

    I'd say it'll do well in Emmys next year methinks.

    A bit hit and miss depending on who wrote what episodes. Maybe I'm an old fuddy but I don't find a young woman making a show of herself and flashing after getting her drink spiked all that amusing.

    This too shall pass.

    Confusing from Netflix when looking at Maniac description "Watch if you like Hot Fuzz or Maniac". Ummm...
    Turns out there's another series by that name on there as well.

    That was one episode out of 10. I think it’s more her not conforming to what her parents expect her to be and the dialogue is quite funny.

    Watched Happy over the last couple of days. It was okay. First couple of episodes were good, but don't think it ever quite reached its potential. I liked the idea better than how it played out.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    I'd say it'll be shortly after it's season ends in the US.. so mid-late November.

    Started watching Detectorists, it's quite good but Jesus Christ, that ****ing music from the acoustic guitar they play during scene transitions is driving me mental

    Anyone watch the Resistance Banker?

    Yip, I enjoyed it. Like Schindler’s list

    Just finished Iron Fist season 2 and it had "Next Episode" come up. I clicked it thinking it would be a behind the scenes or something. Instead it played Season 1 Episode 1. And now it's sitting in my "Continue Watching" mocking me. Tried replaying the season 2 finale but still S01E01 shows up

    Is it much of an improvement over season 1?

    Watched the first episode of Maniac - who do I apply to for my 45 minutes back?

    Terrible, just terrible.

    I'm sorry, but you have to earn the right to be that obtuse. It would be as if The Sopranos had started with a Tony Soprano dream sequence episode.

    What a waste of a decent cast.

    Yeah I've stuck with it because of the cast, assuming its going to come good but 3 episodes in and I don't feel tempted to start episode 4.

    In my opinion, yes. Managed to get through it in 2 days. First season was more of a chore

    Conversely it was one of my top 20 most played songs on Spotify last year.. absolutely love it.

    I watched the first series of The Unforgotten over the weekend, it started strong but I felt it lost its way in the final two episodes with a of the different stories turning out to be disconnected from the main thrust of the series. I ended up disappointed at what felt like a lot of filler. Does the second series follow the same set up?

    watched the first episode and literally could not face the second one after it
    Thought it was just my mood!

    Similar enough but season 2 is a good bit better imo.
