Josh Lyman posted:Ted Lasso is as delightful as everyone says. It reached out to my cold black heart. I just wish it wasn't an Apple TV thing because I have to faff about streaming from my laptop web browser to my TV because there isn't an Apple TV available for it, pah.

Prospect - Pedro Pascal wears a helmet 90% of the time and becomes Surrogate Dad to an orphan kid in a hostile environment The Mandalorian - Pedro Pascal wears a helmet 95% of the time and becomes Surrogate Dad to an orphan kid in a hostile environment The Last of Us - Pedro Pascal wears a gas mask 40% of the time and becomes Surrogate Dad to an orphan kid in an hostile environment Talk about cornering the market.

MiddleOne posted:The Guest is such a good and underappreciated movie. Totally. Lance and Dan are the Fury and Cap of my heart. The moment the penny drops is just wonderful.

FoneBone posted:hurray Recognizable Brands Anyone else got any old perfectly-told-in-2-hours film they'd like turned into a needlessly long and drawn out 'prestige' TV series? Ferris Bueller's Day Off? They Live? After Hours? How about Trading Places, we could end the hour long pilot with Billy Ray bumping into Louis for the first time.

MiddleOne posted:I don't remeber on which threads recommendation but I've been watching season 1 of Columbo and wow. It's like the anti-murder-mystery. And 95% of the culprits are rich and/or smugly elitist shits who think they’re too important and too smart for anyone to stop them getting away with it. Columbo is pretty much the one cop who’s still fun to watch.

Mu Zeta posted:I know British tv is cute and small but the BBC had nothing to do with The Bodyguard, Downton Abbey, and Mr. Selfridge. The new All Creatures show looks BBC as hell but that is on some other thing called Channel 5. Bodyguard was a weird one in that it was a ITV production but for/shown on BBC1 for some reason..! Your point stands for the rest of them though, ITV and Channel 4 generally have nothing to do with the Beeb so automatically calling any UK show a BBC one is as silly as us calling all American ones an NBC show or whatever.

The World Inferno posted:Legion definitely does that thing bad 'Thriller' shows do where characters allegiances turn on a dime and there's one too many of them to feel great about it. Utopia was nothing to do with the BBC.

Gonz posted:Rafe Spall being a dumbass in Prometheus was on point. Holy poo poo. I always thought that guy was some knock off Patrick Wilson Ridley found down the back of the sofa, it never even crossed my mind it was Rafe Spall. I can watch him fine in other shows despite his Black Mirror character because he part of the greatest double act of all time in Hot Fuzz.

zoux posted:Olympics ratings are down half over 2016 so lemme ask y'all: why aren't YOU watching the olympics Discovery nabbed the rights here and the scraps the terrestrial broadcaster gets are miserable. Plus it’s all happening in the middle of the night. That said, I’ve loved the BMXing and skateboarding that I’ve seen, almost managed to redeem the whole thing for me. The skateboarders especially seemed like a lovely bunch of folks just happy for each other whenever anyone managed a good run.

Aardvark! posted:I'd never even heard of Only Connect but this show seems really tough, watching one on YouTube. I love that it's so focused on the game, though. You can watch a whole series and never make it into double figures and feel like the biggest doofus in the galaxy. Then the stars align and you manage 25 points solo and feel like you’ve ascended to some kind of godhood, before slamming back down to Earth again as normal service is resumed the following week.

Instead of all the oft-used children's stories, a fresh take on Tales of the Unexpected could be fun. Dragging 'Royal Jelly' out into 10 hour long episodes culminating in humanity being overthrown by its new human-bee hybrid overlords would be a very Netflix way to approach it.Aardvark! posted:Still watching Only Connect and it is so good. I am in love with Victoria Coren Mitchell and I feel like a god every time I get the answer. I got a British one they missed earlier as an American! I am unstoppable Careful, next thing you know you'll feel confident enough to suggest forming a goon team and we'll get on the show, score the lowest points total in history and never be able to show our faces in public again.

Escobarbarian posted:Personally I just never really have this issue about anything? I just like watching good storytelling and it doesn’t matter what it’s about or how timely or whatever it is. I guess I spend a lot less time doomscrolling than a lot of people these days, though. Same. Just started it last night, watched the first two eps and rather liked it, and the "Shakespearean actress (and dual wielding knife fan)" protagonist. The idea of a post apocalypse travelling arts crew is kinda refreshing, looking forward to seeing where/how it all pans out. Funny thought it was I totally would have turned down that dude for auditioning with *that* speech, though. Make it a Jack Burton monologue and now we're talking.
