TV show thread (2022-?)

Shut up, muppet features.

Um, what?

Ep 1 of season series 19 of taskmaster was great. Very strong potential for a hilarious season.

How - after 19 seasons - they manage to compile a cast of people I’ve largely not heard of (excluding Jason Manzoukis obviously) and it still maintain such high quality is remarkable.

I’d honestly have it in my top 5 shows of all time.

One of the best looking sci fi, or any, shows I’ve seen. Loved rewatching s1 and s2 looks like a step up.

Anyone watching Mobland?
It’s a modern day Terry and Arfur Daly.

Just watched episode 8 and it was great, best so far. It’s been a slow build but the last few episodes have really kicked it to life.

Yeah, great tasks to kick it off, likeable and slightly unhinged competitors. Loved the ā€œcoolā€ task.

Andor episodes 7-9 were friggin amazing. So much for that lack of pace… geez!

The talk is that the original plan was to have four more seasons of this, but the decison was made to make that only 1 more instead. So each 3 epiosde arc would have been a full season. Man, I’d have loved to have seen a full season of what just happened in eps 7-9.

I’m on parental leave for #3 and looking for something to Binge while the other kids are at school/kinder and during late night wake ups.

Anything good out there at the moment? I’m up to date on Severance, White Lotus, Day of the Jackal, Black Mirror, etc.

Started trying to watch Righteous Gemstones but it didn’t really gel for me.

Incredible Television. I’ve enjoyed every episode, but 8 & 9 just blew my mind. Waking up tired every Thursday morning post binging the 3 weekly episodes. Eagerly anticipating the final 3 next Wednesday which I feel will play out more like a movie being they tie into Rogue One.

So you mean this is the last season? Got to be hugely expensive

i wonder if they changed the song from when they filmed in episode 8, the hands are very out of sync lol

Yep, only 3 more eps left now.

I heard that one of the reasons they didn’t want to go another 4 seasons, is that’s realistically 5-7 more years of work. And Diego Luna is already starting to age out of the part

Did anybody go through Narrow Road to the Deep North?

I know @Alan_Noonan_10 loves a bit of Ciaran Hinds, so I’m sure he caught it…

I was left with mixed feelings. As in 99% of cases, the book was far superior.
