@GraemeE yes so good. If you want to go deeper listen to the podcast Love is the Message

[GraemeE]

@Nik I've listened to a few episodes of that one and loved it - need to get back to it.

@Jett129 - it may be heretical to say this but (tin hat on) I just don’t ‘get’ The Bear. I have tried to like it but just cannot get into it. I suspect that I am in a minority of one though.

+1

I refuse to watch it. The dude has a punchable face and I find celebrity kitchen culture to be contrived and uninteresting.

[Crispy Heron]

@Matt - don’t mind the guy playing the main character but I just don’t understand why it is popular. Perhaps as @Jett129 says it needs more than one watch but I was left completely cold by it. Critics appear to love it although I note that there is a backlash against series 3.

We have a love/hate relationship with The Bear. The kitchen chaos is very well rendered, but it’s super-stressful to watch sometimes. Other times it’s so overwrought we can’t hang. Just watched the 1st episode of season 3 last night, and it was sooo pretentious and boring. Hope it picks back up again.

My main beef with the show is I can’t believe it got put into the comedy category for awards shows, and subsequently robbed the likes of Abbott Elementary proper recognition for true comic excellence.

[Jett129]

@sabergirl I don’t get the comedy classification either,but I blame that on the people that give out the awards. I’ve already watched season 3 and will wait until others have finished it to comment.

@Giles agreed on the Blue Lights. We are 4 episodes into s2 and it’s all been excellent.

More so listened to but we watched recent Netflix doc release, man of 1,000 children, on a mini road trip home yesterday. What in the actual fuck.

[jiminstitches]

Presumed Innocent on Apple is worth a watch. And I also started watching My Lady Jane on Prime and really enjoying it!

[Mizmazzle]

Just started watching Shôgun on FX. Thoroughly enjoying it.

[jiminstitches]

@Mizmazzle shogun is so awesome, I will watch it for a second time

[dinobarnesberlin]

Shogun have good time

[JDelage]

Reg. Shogun, the book is also very good (the other Clavell book are good too, fwiw). Excellent beach reading...

[Matt]

The finale of The Acolyte was excellent, but specially the fight scenes. I’m ready for more.

Only up to day so far but really enjoying it

[flannel slut]

Late to it but everyone who gave baby reindeer a shout out a couple months
Binged it this weekend and fairly certain it’ll be one of those that lingers.

[Mizmazzle]

Just finished Shōgun….absolute masterpiece.

[Jett129]

Has anyone by any chance seen a show,on Amazon Prime, called Jury Duty? The set up is an alleged documentary on what it's like to be on a jury,but everyone,but this one guy, is an actor. They remind you of this at the beginning of every episode. Just brilliantly done and quite funny at times. Just one season.

[sabergirl]

LOVED Jury Duty!

@Jett129 i was very sceptical when Emily recommended we watch. I was very pleasantly surprised. James Marsden is good in it
