SaitoRyo Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 As I have (temporary) access to a family member's Paramount Plus account, I have taken it upon myself to re-watch loads of Cheers episodes. It is simply the funniest/best television show. Exhibit A: Quote

Keith Houchen Posted March 30, 2023 Posted March 30, 2023 Finally finished Veep. The writing was spot on throughout and immensely enjoyable. I did feel though for the last two seasons they really ramped up the horrible aspects of everyone personality to the point they became pastiche. They were all horrible bastards anyway, it was always “Show, don’t tell” but towards the end they forgot that. Kent and Ben were the best characters, loved how they bounced off each other. Gary Cole and Kevin Dunn don’t let you down. Quote

It's a top notch show but nothing I'd ever really want to go back and re-watch or anything. Quote

Although going out while the quality is still high. Such a wonderful warm show. It’s top tier of BBC comedy for me, Clive. Quote
wordsfromlee Posted March 31, 2023 Posted March 31, 2023 Weirdly, the American version is actually worth watching. It's obviously not as good as the BBC one, but it's far from being shit. It was all on iPlayer. Quote
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted March 31, 2023 Paid Members Posted March 31, 2023 The new series of Taskmaster got off to a strong start last night. I didn't realise that I needed to see Jenny Eclair ram a narrowboat into a concrete wall while shouting "BRACE BRACE" instead of trying to slow it down. Quote
Dai Posted March 31, 2023 Posted March 31, 2023 Absolutely love Ghosts, so will be sad for it to end. Have watched most of the first season of Yonderland, and whilst it's nowhere near as good as Ghosts, it's still a super easy 22 minute watch. Quote

Keith Houchen Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 Started Lockwood And Key. It’s not bad at all and pretty scary visuals for a teen show. Quote
