She plays a semi fictional version of herself, she's obviously great, but her grandmother is the stand out character with some absolute show stealing scenes, and this is well worth watching. Finished this last night, and absolutely loved it. It's very similar to Broad City in humour, content and style, but that's no bad thing as I really enjoyed that show too. Edmund is a fantastic character, but the Grandma (Lori Tan Chinn) honestly could be a classic of the genre, she is that good. The episode where it tells her story as a young woman from China was brilliant. Plus it features an appearance from one of my very earliest crushes JENNIFER ESPOSITO!!!! Absolutely lovely Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KingofSports 102 Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 Just saw Chris Kamara 'die' on live TV. He's on Steph McGovern's lunchtime show, adding 'comedic' asides. Truly dreadful. Probably down to him not being very bright or funny. Who knew? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DavidB6937 1,644 Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 Finally watched all of The Fall - wasn't that bothered about it before but the Mrs wanted to watch it now everyone else was. First two series were perfectly watchable but fuck me that third series was trash. I don't know what they were aiming for but I managed to fall asleep every episode.

wordsfromlee 2,587 Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 I’ve never really given a fuck about cars in the past, but since we thought it would be a great idea to get a puppy for some fucking reason, I’ve been up at 6am most mornings. So rather than suffering through Everybody Hates Raymond, I’ve been using that time to absolutely smashing through episodes Wheeler Dealers on Quest and/or Discovery. Im now planning on getting a Volvo Amazon or a VW Type 3 to do up when I inevitably have my mid-life crisis. Going by the sheer amount of heart related problems on my dads side of the family, I predict mid-life for me will be about four years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members tiger_rick 10,604 Posted September 22 Paid Members Report Share Posted September 22 Wheeler Dealers is great. I've been re-watching a load of them. I prefer the ones from the UK when there was at least a pretence that it was about turning a car for profit. The ones since it moved to the US are still interesting but it's not nearly as fun. I noticed Schitt's Creek won a load of Emmy's the other day. I only started it a couple of weeks ago when I resubbed to Netflix. It's a perculiar show that takes a bit of getting used to but I'm in love with it now. Blasted through 3 series in the last week or two. My missus didn't watch the beginning so just catches bits when I'm watching it and thinks it's nonsense. I think it's pretty charming though. I like that the main characters are constantly warming to their surroundings and we're constantly warming to them but they've not suddenly turned mushy, it's a very gradual thing and they'll constantly remind you that they are/were pricks.

Catherine O’Hara is never anything but brilliant but the ensemble cast really fire off each other wonderfully. I love it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I actually prefer the US ones. Especially the ones with Ant as Edd is a personality vacuum. I think I prefer the US ones because the choice of cars are a lot less common to us than the UK ones which makes it a bit more interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TomJones233 7 Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 Des is just another drawn out, boring ITV crime drama, Just happens to be about a real killer this time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bit harsh. It was only 3 episodes so I don't really think it was drawn out. Granted it wasn't the most excited or action packed crime drama but that was the way it was written and the focus they chose. Personally I enjoyed it as I think Tennant, Mays and Watkins are all exceptional talents. I'd watch them in anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
