Recommend some good TV: 2020

Nearly finished Sex education on Netflix. Gillian Anderson looking good. Aside from that has some enjoyable bits but pretty ridiculous.

6.5/10

Did the end of the f***ing world 2 in about a week. Not as good as the first series but still way better than most of the shite out there.

8/10

Wisting on BBC 4 has been good so far. Two episodes on the iplayer.

Pretty much a Casualty reboot - BBC One, Saturday Nights.

After a shocking opener last week - I can't remember a bigger TV shock in ages - the pieces are going to be well and truly shaken up.

Watch last week's on th'iPlayer and hop onto the Casualty Train in 2020.

Haven't seen either yet but both Dracula (BBC) and Messiah (Netflix) have had good notices

Finished A Christmas Carol last night, very good. (The mike from neighbours mini series). Just gutted I watched it AFTER new year, as I want Christmas to start all over again now.

Tiny Tim was

They were all good tbf, except Ali Baba, but that is because I cannot take him seriously. Rubber dingy rapids brother

Dracula was absolute bobbins!

Managed about 15minutes but had to turn it off as we were all just laughing at it!

Looks like I've begun 2020 with a bang.

The Grauniad gave both Messiah and Dracula good reviews.

Mentioned on the last post in the 2019 thread....

Hank Azaria as a degenerate baseball commentator, available on Prime.

It's bite-sized 22min or so shows so you can rattle through it. Absolutely love it.

A Year in the Life of a Year in iPlayer. f***ing superb. Bit like what Screenwipe used to be but funnier

Absolutely f***ing brilliant Hank is superb.

I love Amanda Peet

Don't f*** With Cats on Netflix.

Like a 3 episode version of Making A Murderer. Just finished it in one sitting.

Internet nerds set about solving the case of a hooded little runt posting youtube videos of himself murdering cats. Though they stop just short of showing the hideous crimes, you very much get the picture, so be aware it has some uncomfortable moments.

Things escalate, turns into an international manhunt.

It's excellent.

Watched all three last night. Brilliant. The way it escalated

That scene - "Let me tell you who Manny is"

Finished The Mandalorian, brilliant! Why they couldn't let John Faverau (sp) have a go at one of the last three films is beyond me. Apart from Chapter 4 it was a jolly good Star Wars story... tbc apparently!

christmas carol was ace

Watched Don’t **** with Cats yesterday and it was very good. Couldn’t help think of this place though all the way through it

Started Messiah too and three episodes in and it’s very good, don’t let the bastards grind you down Jaffo.

When he told the copper he knew about the boy during the interrogation, I reckon he knows this because he WAS the boy...
