Paid Members chokeout Posted May 11, 2021 Paid Members Posted May 11, 2021 Just ended up watching Carry on Glamping. A show where Johnny Vegas tries to set up a glamping site in Yorkshire with restored old vehicles. It's up there with Whitehouse and Mortimer in the 'this really shouldn't be this touching and entertaining' stakes but it was honestly fantastic and without spoilers had my missus in tears in the final episode.

Perry Posted May 12, 2021 Posted May 12, 2021 Surprised there's no mention of Series 6 of Inside No 9 kicking off yet. Sometimes I think Reece and Steve try to be too clever with the plot because of all the smoke that gets blown up their arses after every episode airs on twitter. Quote

I've just watched this over the past few days and totally echo this sentiment. Just really lovely telly. The last episode ended up being ridiculously emotional considering the subject matter. Quote
DarloKid Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 just finished the brilliant Strike Back this afternoon. I never saw it during it's initial 8 season run, which surprises me as it is something that is right up my street. Anyways its a tonne of fun, something you can just put on and enjoy without overthinking, plenty of violence and sex scenes throughout. Co-produced by cinemax who made Banshee so if you have seen that then you know what to expect with Strike Back ha! Quote

Never heard of this, but looking it up, its EXACTLY what I would expect a show called Strike Back to be. Ramy continues to be an absolute delight, and has probably been the best thing I've watched this year. Just a really funny, sweet, moving TV show. The Goldbergs series 8 has been superb too. One day there needs to be a debate on how this is the most underrated show of modern times. Baffling how little love it gets Edited May 17, 2021 by SuperBacon Goldberg love Quote
Paid Members PunkStep Posted May 17, 2021 Paid Members Posted May 17, 2021 Strike Back looks like something Ant Middleton would wank himself silly over. Quote
Merzbow Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 The new season of Girl from Nowhere has been real solid if still a little daft, it feels a lot more politically charged this time around and the addition of a new semi-main character has worked well. It is pushing the boundries a tad, it's edgier in other ways too with more explicit violence and the like. If you like Asian horror and especially Junji Ito's Tomie books it's worth a watch. Quote

Given the names of the dramas he's appeared in, that'd be a safe assumption: Hero Of The Hour In Defence Ultimate Force A Line In The Sand Funnily enough, those type of shows seem to disappear from his filmography after his appearance in Extras...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 17, 2021 Author Paid Members Posted May 17, 2021 Strike Back is the Waterloo Road of Sky. Nobody watches it and it's been going forever. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted May 19, 2021 Members Posted May 19, 2021 Looks good. Seann William Scott and some lovely Columbus Crew shirts have me won over. I love This Country, and this looks in good hands. Hopefully, it will go off in its own direction ala The Office. Quote
