We’ve been binge watching “Barry”
Last epsiode was INSANE… Best BARRY ep so far and that's saying something...

Anyone else watch Chicago PD? Is this an Iron Heart shirt?

Could be an IHSH-166.
My guess is the black variant of the ripstop 187

Anyone plan on watching The Virtues on C4 tonight? Shane Meadows looks to be back on form. Great cast too. I'm pretty excited about this one. Only way it could look better is if he wrote a part for Vicky McClure…dear goodness I have had a crush on that lady for years.Stephen Graham is always a good performer too.
Sarah has never seen The Wire, so I'm introducing it to here now. Still great 17 years on.

GOT S8E5. Brutal. Feels like we've just about come full circle from the very beginning of the show.

Very mixed feelings about that episode. On the one hand there was some amazing film making in terms of visuals, imagery and intensity. The drama and horror of the battle, subsequent slaughter and aftermath were on a par with e.3.
On the other some of the criminal under communication and woeful story telling/continuity from s.7 came back. It seems ridiculous that they can continue to tell the story of Arya and The Hound so well, but Jaime’s return to Cersei is so poorly explained.
Even worse, there is Dany’s descent into tyranny and madness. I have no problem that she is becoming a mad tyrant, the seeds of that were sewn a long time ago, I just resent the fact that it happened without the story being properly told.
The final scenes with Arya were astonishing though and saved it for me on the whole. Heart wrenching stuff.

I agree. I'm a bit frustrated with how rushed these past few seasons have felt. Both could have done with an episode or two more to give all storylines their due.
They've been fairly subtly setting up Dany to flip a switch with Jon's news, the death of multiple close friends, and her relatively cold reception in the North, etc. But, for the above occurrences to cause her to go from sad and somewhat depressed to a bloodthirsty tyrant no different than her father also felt a little rushed. I get the intention, and for the history of the show the direction of the character makes complete sense, but again it felt like a few steps were skipped in her fall to madness.
Nonetheless a very good episode. The show is really starting to become a victim of it's own success with how great it has been. Expectations are through the roof.

Oh yes, The Virtues…episode 1 was great. Definitely Shane Meadows and Stephen Graham at their absolute best. I smell BAFTA nominations.
