Wouldn't go as far as saying I like it, just find it easy watching.

It’s always sunny is genuinely hilarious. Takes a while to get into the swing of it. I didn’t rate season one all that much but loved season 2 on when DVD joined.

You know what I miss? Programmes that are a perfect mix between drama and comedy such as Cold Feet.

Thanks, not a mad sit com fan although my son kept telling me to watch Brooklyn 999 and I have to admit it gives me light relief and a giggle when I'm in need of light viewing.

Light relief and a giggle.... Also the title of your sex tape

Try 'Master Of None'..

I'm watching it too.. half way through season 2.

It's funny but don't think it's the incredible comedy some people seem to give it credit for.. maybe I'll change my mind in time.

Tried 'Master of None' on two separate occasions and just couldn't get past how much I hated the whole cast; probably didn't help that Aziz Ansari will always only be Tom Haverford in my minds eye

Just like how I always see Nick Offerman as Ron

Basq · 07-01-2019 09:12PM

To be fair, those characters are so iconic that I don't think I'll ever see Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt or Amy Poehler as anything other than their P&R characters.

Same as me trying to watch Donald Glover perform as a Grammy Award winning artist and just see him singing 'Somewhere Out There' from An American Tail!

Aubrey Plaza I have the opposite problem; I knew of her before Parks & Rec, and her demeanour, personality and acting style is so demented I only ever thought of April as slightly less unhinged version of Plaza

Master of None always felt like a clunkier, less artful attempt to emulate Louie for me (public perception has quite rightly turned against CK, but it was pretty remarkable TV). I watched season one and a bit of season two, but really never clicked. And now you have Atlanta, which is the same sort of idea - well-known comedian making an offbeat comedy-drama - but executed with the creative ingenuity I never quite found in Master of None (what I watched anyway).

Anyone watching Tidying Up with Marie Kondo? It's a bit cringey in places but found myself wanting to clear my entire apartment out after watching a couple of episodes.

My daughter is dug into it but she's an OCD freak.

Thankfully not all have turned against him and he's back out there, albeit with only a handful of shows. I know Louie had finished up but hopefully he comes back with something as strong in the next few years.

I know what you mean with him.
Parks and rec is such a brilliant show.
I thought season 2 of master of none was fantastic

I honestly don't think he deserves a second chance....what he did to people was horrific.... the fact he is making light of it while trying to relaunch himself leaves a very bad taste in the mouth.

Yep, I enjoyed season 1 but season 2 was just incredible.. some exquisite storytelling.

peteeeed · 07-01-2019 10:39PM

In my opinion master of none was wonderful

Totally agree, they were almost like little movies, beautifully shot, the black and white episode was stunning.
The episode that focused on his friend Denise was lovely as well.

Try Love, it's American but might float your boat

I think Brooklyn 99 gets better as it goes along, lots of little in jokes, captain holt is brilliant... And Cheddar

No charges were brought against him and he's apologised for what he did. He'd disappear if there weren't people still out there who love his work.

ShagNastii · 07-01-2019 11:20PM

It’s an obvious one but Trainspotting 2 is brilliant in my opinion.

It was a perfect sequel. It constantly references the original without being like many sequels “the same movie”. I was gutted about the prolonged wait for it to materialize but it was worth it. The characters had grown so much. It left me with a real smile when it finished.

I realise that, but I read the details (i think at least 5 came forward, how many others didn't? ) and that was enough for me
I won't personally be watching anything he is involved in going forward, but I am sure other people will that's up to them.

Horrific. Seriously. He tried it on with a few women behind closed doors. They said no and that was it. I've always thought his case was blown way out of proportion.

Anyway. Off topic

'Tried it on' .... Are you for real?
Did you read the details of some of the cases?

https://www.vox.com/culture/2017/11/9/16629400/louis-ck-allegations-masturbation

Do the actions here sound like trying it on?
As you say off topic.... But to say the pattern of his behaviour can be described as 'trying it on' is utter BS. Would you like someone in a position of power doing some of the things he did to people to you or to someone you know?

So what would you call it then

Well he started w@nking in front of at least one of the women. Probably a bit worse (understatement?) than trying it on imo.

Sorry, I continued off topic.

Flowers, with woman of the moment Olivia Coleman is quite funny, first series (the one on Netflix) is better than the second in my opinion.

He was lewd and conducted himself very poorly. For which he has apologised to the women. The way some people go on about him you'd swear he raped and murdered the women. Blown way out of proportion imo

I have no idea, repeated sexual harassment?
What would you call it? Did you read the details of what he did, and as he said himself "these stories are true", they aren't allegations.
Calling it 'Trying it on' is imo taking the piss.
Ah sure he didn't rape or murder anyone, christ talk about a low bar.
