What TV Are You Watching?

[Ghost In The Machine]

Finished The I.T. Crowd for the umpteenth time. Trying an Austalian/UK one from a year or so back, Frayed. Mainly because I saw Diane Morgan is in it. Sort of Schitts Creek goes down under, kinda.

My kids - youngest is 18 - go through phases of watching either IT Crowd or Peep Show whilst we're having tea. I think we know some of them by heart! Also The Office, but only UK - I can't stand the US one.

I haven't seen drag race in a long time. The last time was when Ju Ju Bee was on it. She was quite funny.

The UK version is different - we watch both... The Brits have a totally different attitude. Worth a watch as the BBC got it, so they had to change the format a bit and it seems to work really well. Brits way less polished but way funnier and more lovable!

Also they've just put out a show about how the queens coped with lockdown, all filming themselves doing video diaries. They had just filmed episode 4 when filming was suspended and they all went home for 7 months. But at the time, they had no idea if it would resume. Some end up on the dole, one was a nurse and returns to working on the frontline in the NHS - most of them, the way they earned a living just vanishes overnight. I found that really interesting (but watch the main show first so you know who they are).

Thank you, should keep me busy!

DVDs are not even easy to come by. It’s definitely something I would be tempted to buy.

Gosh. I got my complete collection ages ago. Glad I did!

Blimey that's quite a list of utter shite.. You've missed out some Bigfoot shows though.

 

[GNC]

And we've been bingeing Better Call Saul.

By now you should be suffering from "How is Kim going to die?!" syndrome. She's never mentioned in Breaking Bad, so BCS fans fear the worst. I just hope they're able to finish the show under pandemic conditions, Mike already looks like he's risen from the grave.

None. I got wise and ditched the "Propaganda box" a few decades ago.
For those old enough to remember when it was called the "Idiot Box"

Shut the fuck up Walter, let me die in peace.

Nice for you, but for all those who live alone and don't get out much in these current, rather strained, times, the TV is the only company they have!

'American Gods'...watched the season 3 episodes....free on Starz this week.
I also watch 'Prodigal Son', 'Blacklist', 'Resident Alien', etc.

Truth Seekers with Nick Frost and Simon Pegg was discussed here when originally released, it has been cancelled and they won't be making anymore. Nick Frost is not happy and has described it as "a massive kick in the willy".

Afeared on BBC2, shoud still be on iplayer. Tales of the paranormal, ghosts etc. But also local history and folk tales. Covers the 1641 Rebellion in Ulster and atrocities on both both sides. Most importantly it shows how tales with a kernel of truth can morph over time.

It didn’t exactly set the world on fire. It really needed the third one - Edgar Wright.

We enjoyed Truth Seekers but I'll be honest, for me personally Nick Frost was a big turn-off.

Oooh, I say! Thank you.
Downloading as we speak.

It seems to have been a really polarising show. Yes I think the lack of Ed Wright is a big issue, I nejoyed it and feel its a shame they won't be doing more.

That is a shame. It wasnt earth shattering or anything but was very watchable unlike say series 56 of "Lets Go Dancing With Celebs In a Jungle Kitchen"

Really hoping Dead pixels gets a series 3, I loved series 2.

 

[Bad Bungle]

Half-watching Treasure Quest: Snake Island on Quest : two rednecks treasure seeking experts are in Bolivia trying to dig a hole to get at an underground tunnel. But the excavator they've just dragged up the mountain has a damaged bucket, so they try dynamite instead - might work, worth a try.

Legacy of Lies on Netflix, spy/revenge thriller. Ex MI6 agent (Scott Adkins)now a bouncer/cage fighter is traumatically reminded of the incident in which his wife was killed when a Ukrainian journalist asks to help her track down files. We get MI6, CIA, FSB, bio-poisoning, shoot-outs, double/triple crosses, not to mention Adkins' precocious 12 year old daughter. A bit too busy for it's own good but worth watching and if you're a Scott Adkins fan you'll be happy. Written & Directed by Adrian Bol. 6/10.

Homeland - Season 8. So far, so good. Claire Danes is wonderful.
