Just watched first two episodes of BBC's Wolf. It's a bit mental. I think I'll stick with it though

Watched the first one was disappointed didnt bother with the second

Stuck with it and actually really enjoyed it. Weird at times but plenty of twists.

Also been watching Bear, it's OK, I wouldn't give it the rave reviews it's been getting everywhere tbh. The anxiety levels certainly increased watching S1.

S2 Episode 6, The Fishes (Christmas episode), was really something else 👏 👏

Told you!

I adored Bear S1.

Not sure about S2. That Christmas episode was a definite play to replicate the (genuinely extraordinary) tension, success, brilliance of S1's penultimate episode. But it didn't work for me. Cousin is too aggressive, overbearing and OTT as a character to be on stage with anyone similar, and this episode featured too much airtime with him and Jon Bernthal together. Bernthal is basically a one-character actor, and the epitome of aggressive, overbearing and OTT. He is probably the most offputting actor I've ever encountered. I really wish he was cancelled.

I'll pick up the rest of the series soon. Just don't think I can finish that Christmas episode.

Episode 7 was pretty excellent too I have to say.

I don't think I've ever watched a show that generates anxiety in me like some scenes in Bear.

I don't know. I think it was too much and nearly annoying trying to watch it. Saying I'm enjoying the show. I think season 1 was better though.

check out The Righteous Gemstones if you can.

John Goodman as a 'Come to Jesus' preacher in the Bible Belt and his dysfunctional adult children muscling in on the action.

It's very funny in parts. Don't watch with your grandmother. Lots of effing and blinding.

Have just seen that Season 3 is available. Loved the first two. Goodman is absolutely terrific in it.

We're big fans of Baby Billy in our house.

Just started season 2.
I like it so far.
Can't really put my finger on what is good about it, but the short sharp episodes are a good format.

I've started watching Hijack on Apple tv.
Idris Elba starring, very good so far.

Finished it last night, really enjoyed it - Best thing I've watched in a while

Finished it at the weekend.
Really good, though I though it was probably an episode short.
I wonder will there be a second season.

Just finished The Bear.
I thought it was brilliant tbh. The christmas episode is mental! lol.

Us too.

Season 3 just finished in the US. Supposedly bring renewed again.

Its a ludicrous concept, but brilliant fun!

[gallsman]

Just finished S3. Very good. Has been renewed for a fourth season alright.

New season of How To With John Wilson out on HBO.

One of the funniest, quirkiest things on tv IMO.

Painkiller on Netflix is very good.

Painkiller on Netflix is very good.

It's gotten mixed reviews so I hesitated, I might give it a lash now and watch ep1.
