I thought the same at first, I also thought it was too stagey. However, on a rewatch I really got it. Bob Odenkirk being basically Gene from Better Call Saul made me love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think the show deserves a wider audience, and Dave Burd plays this role (himself?) perfectly. Lil Dicky gets a lot of flack from the rap community, but I'll be honest, I have zero interest in listening to his music outside this show, so I'm not really bothered by that side of things. There is also the added bonus of Chloe Bennet being in most of it. Great shit. Just back on this quickly as I've now finished it. Series was great overall but I felt the finale really missed the mark. Didn't really tie everything together in a satisfying way, which made the ending feel quite tacked on and some of the developments I would have liked to have seen were either rushed or completely omitted.

Mr_Danger Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 John Mulaney and the Faks made it for me. The use of sound in The Bear is great, you’re never far away from a panic attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite not being a fan, I would like a few episodes or even just one of Dave and Spoiler Drake in Ghana. though. That might be fun. Also I can't stop singing the Mr McAdams chorus.

WyattSheepMask Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Watching Look North and Peter Levy just got told “the numbers don’t lie”. Needless to say I was straight in there with “and they spell disaster for you at Sacrifice”, and now I have to explain Steiner Maths to the wife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Murtz Posted July 28, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted July 28, 2023 Me and my wife just finished Veep. As a huge Alan Partridge fan I can't believe I held this off so long. So good, with brilliant character development, and as always with Armando Iannucci, it's the subtle, almost off camera moments that are the funniest. On to The Thick of It and In the Loop now!

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted July 28, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted July 28, 2023 Watched that Gregg Wallace thing about engineering human meat to try and beat the cost of living crisis. It's hard not to be entertained by how enthusiastically he presents it. My mum and I have also somehow ended up watching Hey Duggee. It's ridiculous how fun that show is. They could stick it on last thing at night for adults as well as during preschool time for the young 'uns. Just loop it overnight on BBC2 instead of rolling news.

Never knew this and since you said this my Facebook feed is full of suggested posts and videos of him!!! They're listening. So let's test it out further.

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted August 1, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2023 Finished Traitors Australia this morning. Spoiler You have to feel for poor old Craig. You could hear the anguish in his voice as he voted for Nigel during Nigel's banishment, but at the very end when Alex gives him that little half smile and he realises that she's a traitor, that's the Ralph Wiggum "you can pinpoint the exact moment his heart breaks" meme played out in real life. It really was so sad. It was a good series. As I mentioned before, the host was a great balance somewhere between Alan Cummings' sheer lunacy and Claudia Winkleman's faux Bond Villain schtick. I think it may be the one I've enjoyed the most. My mum and I have been watching that One Question with Claudia Winkleman on Channel 4 (mum's a big fan) and the first episode had me a little annoyed at how tenuous the answer was to the one question. The second episode, however, had a question where there were technically two correct answers as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted August 1, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2023 Matty Matheson is one of my favourite YouTube chefs and is incredible so once a mate suggested I get on The Bear hype when I saw he was in the commercial for season 2 I jumped straight in. Bloody love it. Just an incredibly well paced but chatoic show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted August 1, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2023 Halfway through Twisted Metal. It's pretty mid, which is a minor miracle given what it's based on. There's been a couple of bits that were funny, it's always moving, lots of action. Samoa Joe's physical charisma in episode 5 is pretty impressive, he's actually good at this! Half hour episodes make it a pretty easy watch. All the ingredients for a guilty pleasure. They need to be building up to a car battling tournament where the winner is granted a wish by the devil or whatever the games were about though. I'm all about that stupidity.
