      Me too. I found it very clever and very funny. Loved it to bits.....

        I didn't mind The Residence, but it needed editing. It was 8 eps and could have been 4 eps, maybe 6 max.

        The BBC are good at editing. You have to have a story, otherwise you are just selling ad space and wasting people's time.

        Luther is a good example. Riveting TV, season one is 6 eps, the average of the other seasons is 4.

        The BBC The Office was only two seasons of six eps each. The US had nine seasons and averaged 22 seasons. Raises the question of diminishing returns vs ad revenue.

        White Lotus is another example that could have cut out a few episodes to improve the pacing. Season 3 in particular.

          @Bridger I definitely agree with what you’re saying and have even thought that at times,but never thought it was an option.

            @Bridger about half way through season 3 of the white lotus and I have to say I agree with you. Great character building but very little has accelerated the story yet.

              @DeeDee85 I had to think back to realize how much i enjoyed season 3 of WL. Once I stopped thinking about the story arc and just enjoyed the acting, it made it so much better for me. The "payoff" does not come from the linear story in any season of WL.

                @jordanscollected Agreed, only the final episode left to watch now and I’m much more into it. Loved the first two seasons, just thought the third took a bit longer to get going. Acting has been top drawer across all 3. Which season was your favourite?

                  @DeeDee85 I think season 2 was my favorite, though it's hard to vote against a season with Daddario. Coolidge's character schtick got old for me and was leaned on too heavily.

                    @jordanscollected Can see where your coming from with that too, although Coolidge’s story is the main thread connecting the seasons, I too was quite relieved (and laughing my head off) when she swan dived from the boat 😂
                    Looking forward to getting home from work today to watch the last episode.

                            Finished Andor yesterday. Very emotional. If you’re a Star Wars fan of course.

                              @Matt Finished yesterday as well, really enjoyed it, better then the first season I thought, my only issue was the replacement of Jimmy smith, but aware that he was committed to another projected at the time of them filming, very small bug to have haha.

                              I also enjoyed the tales of the underground not sure if you watched that yet?

                                I did and I always love those. Im really hoping they brought Asaj Ventress back so she can show up in live action at some point. She’s great. Really looking forward to the Mando movie and the Ryan Gosling Starfighter movie. LOVE him!

                                    I agree man Really great show. It’s cool to see the actor from narcos(Pablo’s character) in a new amazing role. he killed it playing Pablo Escobar so much, one of those tricky to not picture him as Pablo first ep or 2, But did an amazing job. Kinda Same with paperboy from Atlanta, expect his acting in dope thief, really carry’s the show and he leveled up for sure. Solid ass show
                                    Also been really enjoying friends and family on Apple TV. Highly recommend. And while on Apple TV def suggest the studio, me and my wife been loving both these shows. Lastly looking forward to the new season of Ted lasso, Apple releasing some bangers

                                      Shout out to Netflix’s annual sport documentary series: Untold. Realizing just now that another episode is not being released this week and likely a sign that this seasons run is at an end 🥺 If you’ve never checked an episode out and in the mood for a “slapshot meets the sopranos” doc, highly recommend “Crime & Penalties” but really can’t go wrong w any random selection from the whole archive.

                                          Just finished up watching Your Friends and Neighbors on Apple,but I think you might be able to watch it for free on Prime. Really enjoyed it. Very intense at times, not necessarily the best thing to watch late at night.

                                            Back in 2004 I always loved Boston Legal with William Shatner, Candise Bergan and James Spader. I bought all 5 Series on DVD, and just rewatched them. It's still one of my all time favorites.
