Post Mortem on NF. It's a Scandinavian oddball comedy with a reluctant vampire. (Think "Martin" with a Scandinavian sense of humour) 

I'm 4 episodes in and enjoying it a lot.

Been watching the Simpson's from the start with my youngest son recently and we are now on season 7. I don't really remember watching it past about season 10 back in the day so is that when it started to be not as good? How does a current episode compare to one of 20+ years ago?

Don't go beyond the end of season 9. Ever.

Late to the party but finished The Walking Dead few weeks ago...

Started like a B movie and turned into a slick pacy gory show...

Few blanks in last couple of seasons but still a few loose ends to tie up

Started fear of walking dead as a in between fix, until the other spin offs come on

Simpson's have been awful probably for a  decade.  Caught glimpses of  the odd newish one, and from what I can see , it's  just  an album promotion for  some ditsy pop singer.  Or else it's  pushing some politically correct nonsense

Keep watching   gallsman , but you'll know when  to stop watching,  when you stop laughing

No, I'm telling you exactly when to stop as a self confessed Simpsons nerd. It noticeably starts going irreversibly downhill after season 9 and after season 12 is essentially completely unwatchable.

10 years? It's been awful since the turn of the century. What it was up to then is still the greatest TV show ever made.

Sorry I mean clarshack  to keep watching.

Aye now you say it , it probably is more than 10 years.  Feck me,  is that the time already? Nearly 2024?!  Christ the night....

I can't give up on a show once I start. Walking Dead was crap for a long time. Fear worse again. The Negan one was crap, but Darryl one was good.

Victoria Mary Clarke is explaining the various symbols at the altar - ''There is a Budda because Shane was a lover of all religions'', she says, ''particularly Buddhism''.

Even Shane McGowan's Funeral broke all the rules.  :)

In fairness I don't give up either, I really enjoyed Negan in the original, like I said have only watched (or started) Fear, but he was a complete Cnut but all the baddies needed to be..

These are my hour and half before bedtime shows, while she's upstairs..

Started watching the actual game show, Squid Games, decent
