The characters are all great, all very likeable, they have swept me up and they have entrapped me and am really, really enjoying the ride.

Have watched 2 episodes and waiting to see where it goes.
Itās good so far.
Itās been called āThe most dangerous show on televisionā and our ABC even said it promotes āwhite supremacist ideas.ā
He knows how to p*ss people off.
I thought it was a bit ho-hum, personally, but thatās because Iāve already heard and read him say it all 1000 times before.
what!? how so.
certainly rehashed a bunch of stuff iāve heard before and his to camera style is quite wooden

Ted Lasso - must watch series.
Bad Sisters is enjoyable also & Severance is different but good if you get into it.

Yeah, itās some uncomfortable viewing at times, just a very well developed sense of dread all the time. Iāve been to Taormina, itās obviously made to look extra dreamy in the show but it didnāt need much work. Amazing place. Very surprised they havenāt used the ancient amphitheatre but maybe werenāt allowed. Thereās also a tiny town you can walk to up the very top of the mountain above Taormina where thereās a restaurant chock full of phalluses of all descriptions. The scout for this show didnāt do their diligence, itās an obvious scene. If you can go to Sicily, go!

I watched the first episode of severance and it didnāt grab me. Iāve got a three month trial so weighing up whether to give it a longer go.

Itās stunning, the style is not to everyoneās taste, but do your best to stick with it. Last couple of episodes are easily the best stuff Iāve seen in the past few years (up alongside Succession).

Yeah, itās a genuinely odd show that mostly avoids trying too hard like a lot of promising US productions end up doing. Not unlike Maniac which was a pleasant surprise, with Emma Stone and Jonah Hill. Out there and stylish but kind of understated as well. The George Saunders of TV shows is probably a stretch but Iām making it.

I was the same but came back to it and ended up watching it all. It is different.
Be sure to watch Ted Lasso.

Heās amazing. His contributions to the prize task have me in stitches every time.
Iād have this season on par with the greats (7 and 5) - no weak links other than perhaps Dara whose competitiveness irks me for some reason.

Finished 30 Coins (Foxtel) last night. Similar in some respects to the theme in Raiders of the Lost Ark, only this time recovery of the 30 coins paid to Judas is the theme.
Set in a little town in the province of Segovia, just north of Madrid, the main protagonists are Paco the mayor, Elena the hot vet, and Fr Vergara, the priest with experience in exorcism.
All sorts of weird horror crap.
Capture season 2 finale was amazing.
I am a bit late to the party, but currently watching Vikings.
