Nice one, been looking forward to that!

Got an email saying Peacock has been added to Sky Q. Was there something wrestling related on there or am I imagining it? @Hannibal Scorch @Perry can you shed any light? I’m sure Peacock was discussed on here in some context

This is just a soft launch at the moment, don't think there are any plans for WWE to make its way on the box via Peacock in this country.

The new Saved By The Bell reboot was a Peacock show, and it looks like it's available to watch on Now ... now.

The first episode of Yellowjackets is great, part coming-of-age drama and part thriller that looks like it'll get real dark. A great cast too with Juliette Lewis and Sophie Thatcher playing the same character at different ages, they got that spot on.

For those that have never seen it, Nathan For You has been added to Prime.

I recommend you watch it.

Excellent news. One of the greatest things to have ever been filmed. Especially some of the later episodes which just seem on a different level entirely to anything else I've seen in television.

Finding Frances is one of the most incredible episodes of TV I have ever seen. A genuine masterpiece.

I quit watching halfway through season 2 as every storyline in it was absolutely terrible. Never seen a show drop off a cliff so quickly after a great first season. Does the quality turn around or does it basically stay the same level as season 2 onwards?

I loved the entire run too.

 There's also a book of essays and insights that was compiled (A Friday Night Lights Companion: Love, Loss, and Football in Dillon, Texas) but it accompanied the end of season 5 so it would spoil the whole series to read it in advance.

So it’s a book about a tv show that’s based on a film that’s based on a book? 

It’s gone full circle.

Take it to the books about tv shows that are based on films that are based on books thread you bunch of books about tv shows that are based on films that are based on a book wankers.

Yeah it's just handpicked original and classic shows and a few movies from their US version.  Some of the boxsets were already there under Sky Comedy, they've just moved them under Peacock.

Now we can see why it was added at no extra cost.

Pretty sure they've said it's a soft roll out. So what's on there now is just the start. It should get better with time.
