Paid Members tiger_rick Posted April 27, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted April 27, 2015 Watched the first series of Benidorm on the Sky box set. We watched it well beyond it's peak so I was ind of intrigued as to whether it was ever any good in the first place. I've really enjoyed it. There are some good lines, pretty well rounded characters and it has a nice formula with the first half round the pool and the second in the club. Â I've downloaded series 2 & 3 so I'm interested to see quite where the quality drops off. I think it's after series 3 where it became ultra-repetitive and they just parachuted in old TV faces like Sue Pollard rather than writing anything good where it all goes to shit.

The British Bushwacker Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I got hold of a lot of Simpsons box sets on webuy.com , it's CEX online store, they're great condition and cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted April 27, 2015 Moderators Share Posted April 27, 2015 Peter Kay's Car Share is far better than it has any right to be. While his stand up is poor, he's still a fine comic actor. It's low key, but it's really warm and I like that in my sitcoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think his stand-up is poor either. Bit dated bu his original stuff was decent observational stuff. He seems like a massive cunt and he's irritating as shit as himself but I still like his stand-up. That's in spite of he bits of Facebook that aren't racialist nonsense reading like a transcript of his shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick Soapdish Posted April 28, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted April 28, 2015 Re-watching Arrested Development with my wife who has never seen it before. She is loving it and we are already on season 2 10 days after we started to watch it. It still holds up and Tobias in his Blue Man get up never fails to make me smile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted April 28, 2015 Moderators Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) I've just started on it with my wife as well as she has never seen it. Really pleased me to see her loving it straight away and I'm really enjoying seeing it again after so long, even though I've seen it all through a few times.. Â We also started watching Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.. It's OK. Getting consistently better as it goes on, and I'm willing to stick with it. It's had a few very good moments.

Agree on the low-key. 25 minutes of it is just idle chit-chat that is warm but real and kind of funny. There was one moment of funny slapstick and a dream sequence that I found amusing. Really good start I thought. Kay is very good but the woman was great too and they had good chemistry from the off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Murtz Posted April 29, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted April 29, 2015 Final episode of Inside No 9 is tonight instead if tomorrow for some reason. Loved every episode. I've been watching the first season again too and they've definitely turned it up a notch in the second season (The first is still pretty great mind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted April 29, 2015 Moderators Share Posted April 29, 2015 Has anyone watched American Odyssey? Â I expect it to be pretty generic, but I'm kinda interested because Adebisi is in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP RULZ Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Its Ratngs in the US have been beyond awfull even by NBC standards so its probably not worth trying out as it will only have a handfull of eps, I'm surprised its still on the air its rating that badly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted April 29, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted April 29, 2015 I haven't watched it but it seems to get a lot of love on Twitter. Is it really that bad? I'd be quite happy not to have to add anything else to my to watch list right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hounds Of Justice Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I enjoyed Empire, I like the concept, the issues they are tackling are good as well, maybe it's just cos I like a lot of black music, films, comedies, suppose it aint everyone's cup of tea.
