The BBC News. Utterly depressing.

Anything that is on ITVbe - the most appalling range of programmes that has ever polluted TV screens.
This
Lead - BOOM ! Cumulative death number (no context, trend analysis, reasonable comparison), then today's number (always stating 'it's probably understated')
Next - what we've managed to find or turn negative from today (PPE, testing)
Next - contradict all the negatives about continuing death, infections etc etc we've just scared you about with the DISGRACEFUL lack of news on lockdown being eased
Next - deeper dive into something to make a big deal out of it when it really isn't
Not - anything positive
Rinse and repeat

Seems NSC'ers all think alike.
All the new Sky comedy programmes are an absolute waste of time. Brassic, 404, Hitmen, that one on a spaceship (wow, how bad), Intelligence and others so bad I've forgotten them.
Credit though for Cobra, Bulletproof (easy watching) and some decent drama.
PS just watched the preview of Cobra and the PM's speech is so similar to Boris's speech about 'people will die'. To think only in January this year we thought it was a bit far fetched but good TV that the country was locked down!

I caught a bit of American TV Movie 'A Stolen Life' on Channel 5 the other day - it was set in Santa Monica so it caught my interest as that's a nice part of the world but wow! storyline and acting actually everything about it was so bad - it was like a porn movie but without the porn.

I certainly will. Just finishing with Money Heist at the moment (finished the third season last night. It's watchable but not in the same league as Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul or Ozark IMO).
Killing Eve is an odd one for me. Watched the first series and thought it was good. Second season got a bit samey so I gave up on it but then binged it on a flight. Haven't bothered with season three yet. Think I need to be in the right frame of mind for it so would probably do it all in one hit again.
Brassic had its moments but agree with the rest. I didn't even bother with the spaceship one. If it looks awful from the trailer then it was never going to be any good.
As I said earlier in the thread....Breeders is good.
Well I don't agree about Cobra.....watched the first two and thought it was rubbish so gave up. Should I go back and give it another go? The IMDB test others have mentioned on here suggests not.
Gangs of London is very good though if you like violence.

Fair enough, though it's not just about the funny, plenty else going on in there
No it's about a fat middle aged man who's life is a complete mess.
Who fantasies about the sweet release bought on by death, when his miserable existent will all be over.
But as he's too cowardly to end it all he parades around being a total w*****r to everybody unfortunate enough to cross his path.
I can't think why I wouldn't find that f**king hysterical.
As said each to their own.

TBH, that probably describes a few people on NSC
My vote is for the King Lear the BBC had on this week: it has a dream cast - Anthony Hopkins, Jim Broadbent, Andrew Scott, Emma Thomson, Emily Watson et al but is chopped to pieces - there's no sense of Lear's descent into madness. And some great speeches are cut so a lot of the poetry is lost. it's really disappointing.
I am Britboxing mainly.
It can be a bit disconcerting watching Morse though. Last night I fell asleep during one episode and woke up in the middle of the next. I wouldn't mind but it took me half an hour to realise.

Yes. Breeders is excellent.

I was disappointed by the Van der Valk re-tread. It just seemed a bit pointless really. And at 2 hours a slice it was definitely too much of a rather mediocre thing. Amsterdam looked good.
