    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 .

    Merchant is nearly always great in a cameo role, recently on the good place. Plays the same type of nerdy bureaucratic character but it works.

    Pity that IASIP has started being learny huggy. I started watching at season 12 precisely because there was no arc.

    Watched the first few episodes of a comedy series called Schitt's Creek last night and would highly recommend it. Takes a few episodes to get going, but it's quite sharp, would def recommend it.

    Decided to try it by after reading this:

    Ffs, it was 5 minutes out of 13 seasons and in a season that took the piss out of Me Too and the gender bathroom arguments going on in the states.

    Is there an equivalent thread for Prime video cos I cant locate one. Have it free for next 6 months so looking for any good exclusive series.
    Nearly finished Bosch season 1 as I have read all the books. It is disappointing. Some of the acting is terrible.
    Seen an Ad for Preacher which looks interesting.......

    Read all those Harry Bosch books myself and actually liked the series.
    But i have really low expectations as it comes to series or movies based on books i have read.

    The Americans is great. Seasons 1-5 (though not 6, the final season) on Prime. Highly recommended.

    +1 for The Americans. The male and female leads (the main couple) got married IRL after Season 1.

    High hopes for this, what better way to spend a cold winter's night than watching rich spoilt clueless kids get tortured and absolutely fleeced :pac:

    Marvelous Mrs Maisel, Sneaky Pete, Preacher, American Gods, Man in the High Castle all worth a look.

    All of Parks and Recreation is on there too if you've never watched it.

    Jigsaw after the excellent set up.
