Maybe the worst example I've seen in a long time I don't think I've seen anything obvious so far, maybe once I watch more I'll realise though. I'm annoyed that even the new adverts for Barry show some pretty bad spoilers, but it is a great show though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Yeah, that's why I hid the Barry trailer when posting it in the trailer thread. It's unavoidable with the direction that show goes in tho Just don't read news articles on succession anyway, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an episode in series 2 that comes a bit out of left field that is absolutely perfect. As it goes on in leans more into dark drama with comedic overtones instead of comedy drama. It reminds me a little bit of Dexter when it was good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Yeah, that is exactly why I like it so much. An effortless blend of comedy and really dark drama that somehow never feels jarring (except when it is supposed to) and constantly surprising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me a little bit of Dexter when it was good Season 3 Barry continued to be excellent. It feels like is has ditched the comedy pretext by this point and is just a very dark drama punctuated with some very funny (and dark) moments. Some genuinely shocking moments in season 3. I was going to pause before starting season 4 to watch Succession instead but ended up watching the first episode last night anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I've struggled with season 4 a bit, I might start again to remind me about some stuff that happened. Then watch a batch of S4 episodes together when a few more come out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Latest Barry episode has me back on board now, still going to go and rewatch the earlier ones to remind myself what happened in them though. Spoiler Absolute no no no material with all that sand 😱 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nag Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Bit late to the party but we've just finished BEEF, thought it was excellent... loved the last episode and ending and it had some really great music choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmark Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 I kind of hope they don’t do more. It’s just a good story from start to conclusion that doesn’t need milking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfnick Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Ted Lasso Bit late to this but was I fuck paying for another streaming service (got 2 month trial). Plus I don’t care about football and overly positive people wind me up something rotten. But I loved it. Finished the 1st season in less than a week. Only 30 minute episodes too! Recommend anyone to at least give it a try, even if everything about it puts you off like it did me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of our favourite shows of recent times, we really enjoyed both the first and second series. We're watching the third at the moment, it isn't as good as the first two series, still worth watching though. The episodes are longer, but a lot of the supporting characters are now getting their own arcs, not necessarily a bad thing as I like everyone in the show, but it makes it more bloated, with a bit less comedy and more melodrama. There are some really great episodes still though, so overall worth it I'd say 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Yeah Ted Lasso is fantastic, one of our fave shows as well. As others have said before, you don't need to be into Football at all to enjoy it, it's Football-adjacent really, the plot centres around Football and includes cool anecdotes and in-jokes for people that are into footy without laying it on too thick at any point. Similar to Jim, I don't like S3 as much as the previous two, but it's still great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
