Thought Devs was entertaining, but the characters and story were clichéd in the extreme and the denouement was tosh. Great performances from Offerman (as always) and Alison Pill (properly weird - her facial features all being pulled to within about an inch of each other gives her a 'weird' looking face that gives her an 'other worldly' look). Thought the main character's acting was awful though. Absolutely beautifully shot - suspect it was pretty low budget in comparison to, say, an HBO or Netflix show but it looked gorgeous.
Started season 6 of Bosch (there's never been better casting of a literary character than Titus Welliver in the title role) and loving it again, only two episodes in.
Going to do The Outsider next.0 -
Probably a year or so old now, but 'a very English Scandal' with Hugh Grant and Ben Whishaw retelling the Jeremy Thorpe affair was outstanding.
Some of the support cast, with the likes of Patricia Hodge, Adrian Scarborough and Jason Watkins are excellent, and it was amazing to think that such a tale existed in British Politics less than fifty years ago.
Will never quite see Hugh Grant in the same light again, and the recreation of Britain from the 60's to the 70's was beautifully done, including the old red London double-deckers that I used to go to school on every day!3 -
University Challenge .. anti-climax final .. Imperial College London absolutely walked it .. a very talented team average age 23 .. Brandon who had been their star until the final was overshadowed by the Captain, a brilliant young man from Lewisham .. this competition is always very inspiring and shows that there are a lot of extremely knowledgeable and talented young people in the UK (and overseas)7

Really hope it doesn’t turn into the Katie Price show, she really got on my nerves and is definitely playing some sort of game for whatever reason. The clip for next week shows Fashanu seemingly annoying some of the others. Have a feeling shit’s going to get real next week.2 -

The ex-Special Forces lads will be acting with integrity because it’s their brand on the line but I’m pretty certain that there’ll have been discussions with producers prior to shooting about entertaining the viewers. Katie Price is a shrewd and experienced player of the reality TV game, not some naive young starlet so she’ll know what she wants out of her appearance.
Totally agree about Bellew. I’ve met some scary blokes in my time and he would definitely worry me if I encountered. Hope he can put some demons to rest through this show because he certainly needs to for his own sake.0 -

Something about Bellew tho, always has been, that he’s intelligent with what he says and does. With Fury, I can see why he’s not stable outside boxing. But with Bellew I sometimes question how genuine it is. It’s not right on my part, but it’s the vibe I get.
I can’t help but like Joey Essex, regardless of what act he puts on.1 -

Currently binging peep show on the C4 app, only ever caught a few episodes back in the day
I have a hobby of googling and looking at filming locations of films, tv shows and books that I can relate to, surprised to see that the opening credits of peep show where they look in the tv shop window is in crouch end (I know it well) and is now a restaurant, the vast majority of the show was filmed in Croydon unfortunately1 -

Been rewatching Peep Show throughout this lockdown and have done a couple of virtual quizzes hosted by Big Mad Andy on twitch. It's a great show that seems to get funnier each time I watch it.
As for a quarantine episode, pick your house below:

Decent doormen are trained to look out for this type of bloke in any group and are generally pretty good at it. A bloke I know who worked the doors in a lot of places in Liverpool said its harder bouncing there than pretty much anywhere else because the number of Bellews in any group is much higher than other places - a lot of scousers have something to prove and have a chip on their shoulder.1 -
Watched 4 episodes of Gangs of London today. Decent without being fantastic so far but well worth a watch if it's your thing.2

Watched the trailer and hardly anyone on it sounded like they were from London.
Is that the case?0 -
Watched the last Gordon,Gino and Fred last night.
I'll say it again. If anyone is feeling a bit down in the dumps stick this on. It is hilarious.
(Maybe not with the kids!)3 -
Desperately needs Tom Hardy as the lead. But maybe he is too old now. I generally find fight scenes immensely boring. Apart from the opening scene in the first Daniel Craig James Bond. The fight scenes in this, Gangs of London, are absolutely brutal....and strangely exhilarating.....almost felt guilty about enjoying such violence.1
