Are they all Ryan Murphy shows? Started out with American Horror and that similar style runs through everything. If its not him, it's similar in style.

Yes I believe so, but I never watched American Horror

That traitors line up is pretty good, how many years till it ends up being Z listers?

I thought it was a poor enough line up. Considering how good season 1 was I thought a whole load of stars would be desperate to get in. Instead it's kind of like a who's who from taskmaster or the old Dave channel

They were probably selected before the first series aired. I remember Richard Osman saying that it is now the number 1 celebrity gig and rather than deteriorating towards Z list, you'd actually see big stars falling over themselves to get involved. If we see Chico on it we'll know it's time to pack it in.

Quote from: gallsman on September 07, 2026, 09:29:22 PMNew season of Colin from Accounts on the iPlayer. I don't remember too much of the previous two in terms of details but it's hard to imagine them being any better written than this one. Very easy watching.

The Aussies have a great sense of humour. All the seasons have been enjoyable but I agree there's a bit of an edge to this one that makes it funnier.

Fisk on Netflix is a bit milder and quirkier but very funny as well!

Love a good sci-fi but Dark Matter has me all over the place.. But I'll stick with it!

Binge watched first four episodes of slow horses, back to its best .

Yeah, I'm surprised by the somewhat negative/middling reviews of it. I think it's been very good. That said, I enjoyed last season as well which got a bit of a critical lambasting as well.

Blue Lights a good enough watch, thought the flash back episode was very good

Some spoilers here, but what is the craic with this show? Have they made a "real life" Monster show, and then just made it all up? It appears so. 

I was eager to google so much but left it until I completed the series (which was too long by about half). No idea why they included the modern scenes too which are again a complete fabrication. 

Not often I ignore those big Netflix releases, but didn't watch the Ed Gein one or Lizzie Borden one as they looked silly. The Dahmer one was brilliant and I liked the Menendez one too even though that went a bit silly in places.

Yes the Dahmer one was brilliant and I enjoyed the vast majority of the Menendez Bros one.  I watched one Ed Gein episode and that was enough for me.  I maybe should have done the same with the Lizzie Borden one.

Ed Gein was a tough watch, quite disturbing actually, I didn't watch to the end.

Just finished watching Breaking Bad for the 2nd time. I'd no intensions of rewatching it but it was on the home screen of Netflix when I opened it up a wee while back. Always had Deadwood as my no 1 , but my god, Breaking Bad is something else. Even though it was a dozen years in between viewing, worryingly I couldn't remember 95% of it.

The Blame: ITV, 7/10, decent
Last Seen, Apple TV 8/10 so far

It's a fantastic show. Better Call Saul rivals it for me, brilliant as well.
