Telly thread

Yeah I thought it all wrapped up decently.

Don't tell me nothing!

Chicago: Five Episodes behind.

Our current middle of the road TV nonsense includes Ten Pound Poms. You can say what you like about the plot, the acting, the accents but they have nailed working class Aussies.

Started watching this on the train home. Will report back in due course.

Okay, now that we have wrapped up Succession I can honestly say that the last episode was television perfection.

Brilliant ending to a great evolving show. The acting was top notch and it was just so well done. A lot of series ending episodes have left me cold or confused or just WTF but they stuck the landing and it might actually be the best ending to a television show I can remember. I loved the ending of Breaking Bad, the Expanse and um...yeah that's about it really so well done the writers of succession.

Chicago: Impressed.

Was a bit disappointed in the winners. Didn't dislike them but meh.

Agreed on the Scottish girl.

Ted Lasso finished very well, I thought.

Haven’t got around to the end of Ted Lasso yet. I’ve enjoyed the latest season but it seems a lot of people haven’t.
I enjoyed season 4 of Barry but I can see it leaving a lot of people cold.
Wondering what is going to be affected by the writers strike. Probably not going to be another season of Severance for awhile.

The Ending of Ted Lasso was also very satisfactory. There were a few lemons in the last season, especially the Amsterdam one which seemed like it had been thrown in there to make up the numbers but it certainly improved as it sped towards it's conclusion.

The more it concentrated on the football the funnier it actually got. Everything else was a distraction.

Thumbs up from me.

Chicago: Thumbing it.

The Amsterdam guy was the pilot at the end wasn't he?

Yes. Apparently, any characters that you didn’t see at the end, their stories are on magazine covers in the last few scenes.

Didn't see that. Might have to have a little revisit.

The latest Happy Valley is now available for perusal so I think that will be our next port of call.

Chicago: Trying to Catch up.

Watched all of Ten Pound Poms. It was ok. A bit harrowing at times. Things that are stressed around children I find tough to watch since we had our own, and there's quite a bit of that. The nurse, Kate, was worth it though.

We enjoyed watching The Gallows Pole, done by that Shane Meadows bloke. It's on iPlayer.

Michelle Keegan. Very nice

Happy Valley Season 3.

On Netflix the first two seasons the quality of the video wasn’t a problem. The new one on BBC America looks like it’s been filmed in my living room. The definition seems way off. Also the Yorkshire accents somehow sound thicker and more accentuated. Maybe it’s because I have spent too much time over here but it sounds like Leeds Utd relegation depression Yorkshire mumblecore to me.

Chicago: Southern softy?
