Strongland is a documentary about various strongman events and traditions in Basque country, Scotland and Iceland. Not too bad. Some good stories and interesting histories associated with each location.

The Basque one was brilliant! Never knew of their stone lifting!

Finished Dirty John, very good, follows the podcast closely, main characters are accurately portrayed and the story is well told.

Just finished season 4 of ****t's Creek. One of the most enjoyable series I've watched in ages. It's just a really nice comedy with characters the you really want to see succeed.

If you're only after the story then no as its pretty well told in the TV show. The podcast is good though and if you're a true crime fan you may like it as it goes into more detail.

I know the odd Amazon Prime recommendation gets thrown around in here so I'll just say that 'Halt and Catch Fire' is one of the best series I've watched in years. Possibly the best thing on tv since Mad Men finished - a show with which it shares its DNA.

Excellent series and I'm surprised it didn't get more attention when it originally aired.

Gloomtastic! · 21-02-2019 11:48pm

Sheehan is reaching his misfits level crazy which is great to see.

Episode 5 of Umbrella Academy finished and I'm really enjoying it too. A refreshing watch compared to some of the more po-faced comic book inspired fare out there.

Optimus Prime · 22-02-2019 12:08pm

I watched them all and really enjoyed it, the only thing that was a bit dodge and its not a spoiler or anything, is the big guys head is really odd looking with his big body. It just looks weird, it looks like he is literally just wearing a body builders Halloween costume under his jacket and his head is too small compared to the rest of him.

He was in Black Sails and the body size is about a quarter of what he's been put into here! Just on episode 3 myself but holding my attention so far.

He's purposely meant to look like that though and I actually thought it helped to enhance the comic book feel of the whole thing.

Season 2 of The Durrels was added last week. Very enjoyable show and Keeley Hawes is great in it. Be warned, it will make you want to go on holiday in Corfu.

Ah i know it just really looked like just a body suit, i mean there have been guys playing bigger bodied characters in comic films before but their head never seemed to look so Tiny and out of proportion in them. Its a minor thing though, i thought it was great.

Autecher · 22-02-2019 1:06pm

It's cheeky of Netflix to call Workin' Moms a Netflix exclusive when they only have 1 season of it over here, they are into the third season in Canada and America! Anyway i like the show, I didn't think I would but I really do.

If you can't see season 1 anywhere else legally then it is an exclusive.

I still would because it’s good to hear the story from the horse’s mouth. I found the daughters to be annoying in the series but have so much love for them on the podcast. Yes they have annoying accents but they are extremely dry witted and sharp. They say the most extreme shlt with the most monotonous tone.

JohnCreedon81 · 23-02-2019 2:48pm

I tried The Good Place and Schitts Creek but didn’t like either, settled on Master of None and that’s much better.

I also Gave it’s always sunny one last try and I just can’t get into it. Despite some killer one liners here and there, it’s just too silly and OTT for my liking.

JohnCreedon81 · 23-02-2019 2:52pm

Oh for anyone who’s a fan of First Dates I’d really recommend Dating Around.

Only 6 short episodes but I loved it! Some absolute characters, and some crazy happenings which would make you question whether it’s somewhat scripted but regardless it’s damn entertaining and highly polished.

Schitts Creek

I'd recommend going back to this. I only heard of it on here and it was noted that it takes a few episodes to get going. It really does but after the first 2 or 3 episodes it gets brilliant. Probably my favourite show over the last year

You didn't like Schitt's Creek?! This just cannot be!! Just goes to show the diversity in taste. As said above, I'd go back to it. I'd be biased though.... I loved it from the beginning.

honeybear · 23-02-2019 4:22pm

I might go back to it, but the mayor fella I just couldn’t bear, every time he’s on screen it’s like the tv equivalent of the sound of nails scratching glass, unbearable. Is he a constant character in the show? If so it’s a deal breaker!

Ariadne · 23-02-2019 5:24pm

I found it fascinating and terrifying, how someone so malicious can come into your life and destroy it, and how there is very little that the police or anyone else can do. Though I also have to say that I found Debra Newell very naive, I did feel very sorry for her too.

Same. I thought about watching episode 4 but he sprang to mind and I haven't watched it since.

I've one episode left in the first season and am really enjoying it - wouldn't have known about it were it not for this thread.
The mayor is annoying but he's meant to be, right? And he doesn't feature heavily enough to bother me.
I really like how, aside from the humour, the characters grow on you. David's my favourite - he actually becomes kind of sweet, after his initial narcissistic opening episodes.

JohnCreedon81 · 23-02-2019 7:21pm

Of course he’s meant to be annoying, but you can still dislike the character! I can’t stand him.

Synode · 23-02-2019 8:03pm

The mother's voice grates on me but who cares. The show is great

Ok, I've had a gander at episodes 4 and 5 of Schitt's Creek and ep 5 actually made me giggle a few times. Might chance episode 6 later...
