I'm watching shitloads of South Park at the minute. I need a bit of background noise when I'm working but it has to be something I've seen so many times that I don't have to pay attention to it. Before this I worked my way through Futurama and Malcolm in the Middle, interspersed with films like The Mummy and Big Trouble in Little China for the same reason. |

Inside-Number-9.jpg ![]() ![]() ![]() So I barely even noticed a fifth series of pic related came out earlier this year, but I do seem to remember someone on here saying it was rubbish, which I really don't agree with. I think episode five was pretty rough going, but besides that and a single gag in episode two I enjoyed the whole thing. The whole show's all on iPlayer still if you're interested. |

Also some bastard decided to release the new episodes of Disenchantment on Netflix at around 4am instead of 9am so I almost ended up in a very bad situation. Luckily I was able to turn the telly off after just the first episode otherwise I wouldn't have got any kip at all. |

Oh, there's also a 50s american TV pastiche in VR that I can't remember the name of, but it's an on-rails (literally) shooter because your hands are guns and in this world everyone's hands are guns. UpIsNotJump did a review on it. |

tomorrow_war_xlg.jpg ![]() ![]() ![]() Just watched The Tomorrow War, it's fun in a dumb blockbuster sense. You really have to turn your brain off through right from the start with its shots of Theresa May and Gordon Brown plus the infuriating military tactics but the aliens and combat gives it a nice 90s videogame style. |

DEZUXYKXkAERfg4.jpg ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm re-watching series 3 of Fargo at the moment. Maybe with the exception of series 4, the Fargo TV series is one of the best TV crime drama franchises of the last 20 years. If you haven't watched it, I can only recommend it very highly. Especially if you like the Coen Brothers' body of work, because references to their movies abound throughout, and not just the 1996 film of the same name. |

He alone was a big reason I stopped watching and If I'd been captain I'd probably have transported him into space while everyone else slept and said no more about it. |

Season-1-farscape-32199060-1890-1260.jpg ![]() ![]() ![]() Speaking of aliens, I've started watching Farscape. It's not bad, but every bad guy is a moustache twirling bastard of the highest order and it's really tedious, it's making me miss the problem solving aspect Star Trek has. I'm only on series 1, it could well pick up. |

I've just watched the first three episodes and I'd swear the writers have only watched a 5-minute precis of TNG before writing a generic modern sci-fi story and aesthetic. Where's the campy aesthetic? The first thing I thought was that this is Blade Runner 2049 without the pollution -- the cyberpunk wireframe holograms for everything and ships that look like nightclubs. |

vlcsnap-2022-01-26-21h29m28s964.png ![]() ![]() ![]() I realise that when the person you're pretending to be, is in fact an alternate version of you from another reality, it might seem a bit less clear cut, but you're not actually the same person, any more than twins are. You have different lived experiences and different relationships with others. Having sex with someone who thinks you're someone else, who thinks you're the you from their dimension that they're in a relationship with, is very definitely rape. Fading out to romantic music does not make this less uncomfortable viewing. |

I don't play League of Legends (more of a DotA player) and I know very little about "The Lore". My closest brush with it was playing the Mechs & Minions boardgame, but Arcane is pretty damn good. If you've never played a MOBA you'll likely enjoy it even more because you won't waste time trying to guess who is a character in game and what move set they're trying to emulate. It's genuinely a story well told in a steam-punkish kind of way. |

Do not bother with episode 1 of Louis Theroux's Forbidden America. It sounded interesting but it was terrible. Apparently there will be more episodes, so maybe those will be better, but the one where he hangs out with terminally online alt-right frogposters is terrible. They're all thick twats and they still run absolute rings around poor gormless Louis. They're perfectly nice to him a lot of the time, and those times, he asks rubbish questions. I'm willing to accept that I probably know more about obscure online communities than the average 70-year-old BBC viewer, but if that's an excuse for the shoddiness of his interviewing then it's enough to make me lose faith in all documentaries forever, because Louis Theroux came across as utterly clueless and inept. |

Anyone planning on watching This Is Going To Hurt, but who hasn't watched it yet, I strongly advise against watching it on iPlayer, at least for episode six. There is a trigger warning at the start which warns of a shocking and harrowing plot twist, and in doing so, gives away the shocking and harrowing plot twist. It really harmed my enjoyment of that episode, looking at each character and thinking, "I wonder if they will have to deal with the impending issue", and of course when it happened, I wasn't even remotely shocked or harrowed. I think episode five will be on BBC1 on Monday; you can watch up to there, but then you'll have to wait a week or risk the spoiler. |

I think it says more about ITV than anything, to be honest. They had that show about five years ago where you didn't know if Ioan Gruffudd was a rapist or not and have since decided that the winning formula is 'everyone thinks a woman is crazy because they don't believe her' so they keep churning them out. ITV don't know what the public actually want, otherwise Phillip Schofield wouldn't be on almost all of their shows. |

Severance S1 was very good. Almost good enough that it makes up for the fact it's not got anything interesting to say. |

Untitled.jpg ![]() ![]() ![]() I watched Northman last night. It was an odd film, half-norse saga and half-movie where part of the fun is I guess looking at how those two mesh awkwardly together which it manages well enough imo. I'll warn you that it gets pretty brutal and the guts and gore isn't what shocks you at all, the plot feels very similar to Vinland Saga but instead of anime its a bit like a holocaust movie. |

I know it's old hack but I'm sick of reddit and I'm drunk and I just finished watching The Hidden Fortress which is pretty fucking brilliant and has a lot of special moments. Although I would recommend against watching it on Prime because the translation's shit and it ruins a few moments. |

I've just watched the first episode of the new series of Derry Girls. It's the funniest sitcom I've watched in a while, but I don't know if that's partially because there's a dearth of alternatives these days. |

I feel like I should watch Better Call Saul but I don't remember what episode I was up to and I cancelled my Netflix last month. |

1_m3_SP2UaT5wYT1_ASppadw.jpg ![]() ![]() ![]() I enjoyed this and it made me tear up a little. It's quite genre bending but I'd call it an absurdist take on Jet Li's the One where kung-fu crosses with comedy and trying to find meaning in your life. It even subtly crosses the fourth wall at points. |

Finally finished Derry Girls, it turns out that most of the humour in the final series was concentrated in the first episode of it. |

Episode of Here We Go was just on. Usual twee dialogue and one-dimensional characters, but was watchable by modern sitcom standards. |

I've decided to watch the mid-80s political thriller Edge of Darkness. Mostly because I wanted to see what Bob Peck did other than say "clever girl" and get eaten by velociraptors before his untimely (real) death to cancer. This is barely a spoiler because I'm only half way through episode one but Mr Peck's uni aged daughter is shot and killed. In the immediate hours after this he's wandering the house, grieving her death and rooting around in her room, playing some of her music, finding her geiger counter, the usual. Then he opens her bedside draw, finds her vibrator and gives it a little kiss. I do not recall ever having this viceral a reaction to anything I've ever watched before. I paused the episode about 15 minutes ago now and I'm typing this because I just have to tell someone, I simply must express these feelings to someone else, despite my inability to actually do so. This might well mean it's some of the best writing I've ever seen, but I can't handle it. |

My girlfriend's decided she wants to binge through all of Inside No. 9. I know it's very hit and miss but there's a lot more dross than I remember. Anyway, my favourite is Zanzibar. |

Rewatching The Young Ones for the millionth time. Used to hate Mike as a kid, thought he was boring. But now I appreciate the humour surrounding him. (P)Rick is possibly the best comedy character of all time. |

The Boys is pretty good this season. It started off well in the first series, but felt a bit aimless for most of the second, but this one is a lot faster paced it feels like. |
