Big Mouth Season 2 out October 5th...

Excellent!

I've just finished the latest series of Bojack so that's great timing.

All the good stuff is returning thick and fast. Season 3 of F is for Family next perhaps?

Finally got off my ass and watched red dwarf series 12 last week. Easily in my book the best season since 6. There were some genuine moments with Mechocracy a top episode.

Also Hitler taking a selfie had me in stitches

Finished Ozark S2. Still good rediculous plotted twisty turnyness. Maybe a little too much but it’s still good.

Started Killing Eve which so far seems really good. The female hitman is like a serious version of Helena from Orphan Black And is pretty great for it.

This time last year I started watching Star Trek: Discovery.

I think I quit after about eight episodes in, but I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe I grew tired of it?

Anyway, tonight I resumed where I left off and I'm really glad I did! I'm enjoying being back in the story again.

Yeah it dips badly in the middle but picks back up nicely towards the end. Will keep watching when new season starts. Like all ST it gets better as time goes on.

Same as Doug, except I haven't starting watching it again yet...

Started watching a drama series on Amazon Prime Video called Knightfall, about the Knights Templar. I'm guessing it's going to be about the events leading to the demise of the Order in 1307, but the Holy Grail (which the Templars actually possess in the story) is also a significant part of the plot.



Only watched one episode so far but it's good stuff if you like your medieval drama. Slightly lower budget than other things I've seen in this genre and it occasionally shows, but generally it's good.

Thanks for the spot Doug, will pop that on my to-watch list.

Currently Mrs Snowy and I re-watching The Sopranos having last watched it probably best part of 10 years ago - and it is still absolutely brilliant.

That's a thing I never watched.

Yeah, we still do a complete rewatch of The Sopranos every couple of years, fantastic show. Although it has meant that I can't watch any old concert footage of Bruce Springsteen without thinking, 'hey, it's Silvio! '

Sopranos is great Jez and still stands up now, highly recommended.

I find the whole Mafia thing deeply unpleasant on so many levels and I've never been interested in dramas about it. I have seen the Godfather films but that's quite enough.

As such, I've never wanted to watch the Sopranos. I have seen clips of it, but they only confirmed my prejudices and drove me further away.

Interesting point. The only problem I had with Sopranos is how I could never root for a single main character, even Tony. Brilliantly acted and they all had personality, but every minute of every episode I was sort of thinking "I literally don't differentiate any of these murdering scum with cockroaches I'd step on in my garage".

And as a result I never felt sorry to see any of them come to a sticky end.

But.. it's still a brilliant show though. I just found it a bit of a slog at times to get through all the seasons no matter how well-made it was, when I didn't really care for any of them.

Which means you're probably sort of thinking just the same way they do about their enemies. ¬_¬
