Considering she is British American and she lived in London up to her teens and now lives in London it's not surprising she does a good British accent.

I didn't know that. Yeah I knew a girl from east cork who was born in America and moved back to Ireland when she was young and when I knew her, she had as cork an accent as you could get. She then spent a summer back in America and she came back if you didn't know her you'd think she had never spent a day in Ireland. Maybe that's what she has then.

I started watching Sex Education last evening.
It's so good, really ticking lots of boxes, and so many laugh out loud moments.

( I might have a cameo role in episode 6

)

Sex education is really good but it's very unusual, for example the music and dress sense looks to be from the 80s, cars and bicycles look to be early 90s but yet the technology as in phones and laptops seem to be fairly modern.

A lot of Netflix shows have that weird, out-of-time aesthetic - Sabrina and Riverdale are the same. Old timey cars and shops, the internet exists but only 1 person has a smartphone or laptop etc.

Abducted in plain sight about a young girl who was kidnapped twice by a neighbour, a real eye opener on what length a paedophile will go to to get what they want
The whole thing is completely insane tbh

Dick Van Dyke at his very best. Still love this film.

OB1 Beyond the lights – Season 2 was far more enjoyable than the previous one. Sheer pressure that comes at playing high school football is insane.

I started it yesterday and while i think its very good its confusing,is it a British school set in America in the 80's,the high school logo and jackets and the swim team are not very English and the girl living in the "trailer park"

Ricky Gervais' new Netflix series, After Life, debuts on 8th March.

After Life follows Tony, who has a perfect life before his wife suddenly dies. After contemplating suicide, he then decides to live long enough to punish the world for his wife's death by literally saying and doing whatever he wants to. Although he thinks of it as sort of a superpower, the situation turns tricky when everyone around him starts trying to make him a better person again.

Started Call My Agent, a French series, last night, and can see why it gets lots of critical acclaim. Quite funny and very well made. 3 seasons and 6 episodes in each.

mikekerry · 16-01-2019 01:06PM

call my agent is great.
just finished the 3rd season. very entertaining

A bit sneaky doing this as they start to lose content. Hopefully people will start holding their original films/shows to a higher standard because we'll be paying extra for it now.

Hardly a surprise, sadly.

Probably the most messed up show of its kind I've seen. So many of the family members on both sides look at things in a way I find unimaginable.

Watched it last night .
I know it's real , but good lord what were any of them thinking ?
It's unbelievable that the adults were so brainwashed , you can understand a child been groomed and believing what they're told , but the parents ?

Unbelievable stuff .

kunst nugget · 16-01-2019 02:18PM

The last season of It's Always Sunny is pretty ropey in quality terms but bloody hell, that last five minutes of the last episode was a totally unexpected kick in the feelz. Amazingly well done.

I kinda didn't get it. It was well done and all but I obviously didn't get what the message waa

Is Gervais good tho. Was this co written by Merchant. Is Merchant the driving force behind most of this . Gervais is unbearable at stand up, all the movies he wrote are terrible .

On another note seen the Bandersnatch pick options on C4 news tonight, very surprised to see that.

I did think going by the title cover that it was going to be a American but funnily never twigged the American style sport jackets after watching three episodes.

I've come to the conclusion hes actually not very good and still living off the office (which was wayyyyyyy better with Steve Carrell), I used enjoy his podcasts with Karl Pilkington and Merchant, but as an actor / writer, hes up to f**k all.

Extras is pure rubbish. Avoid at all costs.

It’s Mac finally articulating what he’s always felt. After years of being torn between this expectation of hyper-masculinity and his own sexuality, he finds a way of communicating that to his horrible father. Said horrible father rejects it, but the message does at least reach others - including Frank, who has never encountered a taboo he couldn’t piss on. For the show, it was a moment of genuinely startling earnestness - 15 minutes of the same old bad taste comedy followed by five of uncharacteristic but revelatory humanity. It’s a show taking a big artistic leap and nailing the landing. What’s the good version of jumping the shark? It’s that. That McElhenney appears to have gone through an extreme physical makeover for a running gag with a dramatic punchline is remarkable as well.

It’s a pretty audacious move for the show - one known for its repugnant characters finally dropping the act for this unexpected display of passion and emotion (although I did find the outrageous contrast and Sigur Ros music cue funny in their own way :pac:). I’m not gay so while I can’t directly relate, it’s sure as hell one of the most thoughtful portrayals of someone coming to terms with their sexuality I’ve seen on TV.

Above all else, it’s nice to know that even a show as unapologetically one-note as It’s Always Sunny can smack you with an emotional curve ball after 13 seasons of incessantly bad taste comedy

Yea I cant watch him , or listen to him , Merchant I find very funny and his short lived show on HBO was good.

I seen Gervais on Talking Funny , I think he was way out of his depth and some of the stuff he was saying was pure garbage, but to be fair so what some of the stuff Seinfield was saying was also .

I really loved this show but I think its kind of run its course

That episode where they did a true crime documentary style, was abysmal.

Still we will always have PEENO NOIR
