Dad you're a 65 year old white guy, it's not meant to be for you. He also thinks that there are enough women presenters on telly because Lucy Worsely and Clare Balding and that everyone should stop moaning about equality. I really can't be arsed to argue about it with him anymore, and anyway growing up he was a pretty amazing dad who encouraged us two girls with whatever weird things we were into. My sister got a remote control tank for Christmas once, and we used to have weekly quiz sessions where he would ask us general knowledge questions about The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Monty Python. Gudde Dadde. Just getting old and cranky I guess.

Idk they have a lot of stuff about people dying of cancer or just generally talking about death which I realise is important but I don't really want to fall asleep thinking about it.

Really not sure what to think about this series of Fresh Meat. I am enjoying it, but it seems to have lost something since the previous three. I'm not laughing half as much and sometimes it just feels like they're kind of going through the motions. Though I tend to do that on first viewing, I'll probably watch it a bunch more times and realise it's actually still excellent. In any case, hopefully the finale is a good send off.

I'm absolutley loving it so far. Especially Kingsley having a breakdown over his choice to go to Uni I think Oregan's plot has been awful though but I never liked her much to begin with.

Last night's seemed a bit weaker than usual, I'm the same re: appreciating it more on second viewing though. 101 posted:I'm absolutley loving it so far. Especially Kingsley having a breakdown over his choice to go to Uni I kind of like how deluded they've made Oregon, although maybe they take it a bit too far at times. Kingsley's new girlfriend has been great too - the stuff about him excusing her behaviour because he thought she was Italian cracked me up.

The Night Manager finished this week, a TV version of the book by John Le Carre. One of the few things Hugh Laurie has done since House finished. Also, Tom Hiddleston and Olivia Colman. Good stuff, worth your time!

Raised by Wolves continues to surprise me with how good it is. Charlotte Richie turning up and basically playing Oregon in all but name out of the blue had me cracking up.

Night Manager was cool overall (although not as cool as I am for watching the leaked episode 6) although probably the least good of all the big BBC dramas I've watched and liked over the past couple years. At first I was kind of annoyed they changed the ending basically only so they could maybe do a second season but it wasn't a bad ending or anything.

I guess there's a bit of a melancholy tone to this final series of Fresh Meat, but it is still largely enjoyable. I'll be sad when it ends next week.

I find it a depressingly accurate depiction of being in the 3rd year, and as such it triggers too many memories to be funny at all. Not sure how I'll feel about the series as a closing chapter until it's complete. I prefer it to S3, that had kinda lost the charm and was treading water.

Now before I commit myself to something insane, is Midsomer Murders actually good enough to binge all 17 series on Netflix, or is that a fool's bargain? I just want some good British mysteries.

I'm in my final year of university, albeit in Australia and as a postgrad student, but I can kind of relate to the general despair of having to leave uni and enter the real world.

I decided to go watch Murdoch Mysteries instead. It's not British but at least I get to see a Victorian dude macgyvering everything. And they even have people who aren't lily white show up!

I've seen a few epis of Murdoch Mysteries it's mental. The coddest of cod victoriana. I think Endeavour was getting good responses here for a British period (1950s) murder show if that's available anywhere.

I like the occasional episode of Midsomer, but I can't imagine sitting through all of them in order. You can't possibly have run out of better murder mystery shows to binge. There are so many. Lewis is good it has Sergeant Hathaway's unfortunately shaped face in it. Mr Phillby fucked around with this message at 13:43 on Mar 26, 2016 |

I couldn't imagine binging them at all. Though if A Touch Of Frost is available then watch that.

Watch Season 8, Episode 6, "Hidden Depths ". Then don't bother with the rest because that one's clearly the best.

My mum works for a domestic violence victims support charity and it's an incredibly accurate depiction of domestic violence. It has been going on for too long tho, I want to listen to the archers to make me feel comfy when I've got a hangover/on a comedown to make me feel better

Before you watch anything else watch the 3 hour miniseries of And Then There Were None. It's the best murder mystery ever written and the cast is outstanding.

I've watched two episodes of Midsomer Murders. One involved someone having their throat slashed which looked pretty full on for an ITV drama, the other involved UFOs, aliens, drones and possible stolen Russian technology. As others have said poo poo and bonkers.
