Watched the first episode in lieu of something better, and was instantly hooked. It is very good entertainment.
7/10 donuts.
Umbrella academy is quality.
Heavens above the Swedish is awful. Correct words, but the accents. My ears are bleeding!
Is that in S3? I've only watched S1 & 2 to date and I don't recall any Swedish. I'm a fan of Umbrella Academy though. I'm kaing my way through Dirk Gently at the mo so will drop on to UA3 after that.

Season two. The triplets. It is so bad you didn't even recognise it as Swedish.
Moonage Daydream is on Ch4 at 2210 tonight, worth a watch if you like Bowie and fancy a slightly abstract look at his life

This is on my list, looking forward to it. We’re starting it once we’ve watched all of Billions and MAFS has finished..

Watched a couple of episodes. It's all a bit Jonathan Creek, but I don't really mind that. Fun enough.

Problem is it feels like it could just be called "Mark Corrigan" like JC is, and it'd be exactly the same I keep expecting Jezza to to turn up ask where Gunny is.
That's not a criticism, I absolutey loved Peep Show

We binged the lot. It is really funny and well worth a watch.

The Diplomat (Netflix)
Just finished series two, and it is brilliantly well made. Won't spoil anything, but highly recommended!
Apart from seeing it mentioned that Harrison Ford was really good in it, I didn't know anything about it. It is great though and quite refreshing in that it is people being decent and nice to each other.
Lead is Jason Segel (Marshall from HIMYM). Whole thing is well worth the time.

There’s a second series currently on weekly release. Waiting until it’s all out before renewing my Apple TV subscription

We're only four episodes in, might have to stretch it out to avoid the wait!

Sweet Bobby.
How… just how could someone honestly be strung along for NINE years. I don’t get it.

That was proper batshit wasn't it.
I simply don't understand how that made it to a Netflix docu. I get that the whole deception is horrid and should be punished, but she has got full-on daddy issues if she'll cling onto the tiniest shred of male attention like that.

Hope at least some of you are watching Arcane Season 2. It's brilliant.
