I started watching Peaky Blinders this past week, and this gets pretty heavy in season 2. Really like the music though, lots of PJ Harvey who never gets enough recognition

Even PJ Harvey could not save the movie, which says a lot

Peaky blinders is cool af. Tom hardy is the best part of the show imo all his scenes are amazing.

I couldn't stand Peaky Blinders. Sam Neil and Cillian Murphy are top notch performers but contemporary music slow walks, Sons of Anarchy style "brotherhood" bullshit and all was just too much to take. Never even made it to the point that Hardy shows up.

STRIKE!
All the Peaky Blinders seasons are pretty dumb. The plots get progressively crazier, the exaggerated style that the puppy bowl mentioned get progressively more pronounced, and the writing is always full of last minute deus ex machinas that require a bunch of nonsensical twists and characters acting in nonsensical ways.

But it is pretty fun watching Tom Hardy.

I did watch Happy Valley and loved it. But I tried 4 episodes of Broadchurch and it hasn’t grabbed me. Does it get better?

I loved Broadchurch. It’s definitely a slow burn. I think it all depends on how compelling you find the performances. I loved the dynamic between the leads.

I tweaked my back yesterday afternoon but drank enough last night that I was numb to the pain so I danced all night. On my way home from the bar I tripped and fell and slammed my knee and shin into a metal guard rail. Woke up this morning with awful back pain, a bruised shin and knee, and I’ve been peeing out of my butt.

2019 sucks.

Man I wish I had a good reason why I hurt I have no idea what I did

My back feels great because I do lots of squats and deadlifts. I have a strong body and mind.

Felt unnecessary. It could have been condensed into one final episode for season 2.

and for much older stuff that is still good:
A bit of fry and laurie
blackadder

maybe fawlty towers, although I haven't watched that in a really long time so I'm not sure if it holds up, I remember some racisms about the spanish-only waiter

Master Stur posted:

Hell yes son. I've watched it through three or four times now. Holds up really well. Power through I think the second or third episode (the one about her shoes) and make it to the really good stuff.

Yeah I recall it starting a bit weak but it really takes off. I havent rewatched in several years now hmm maybe I'll put it on sometime and then go through futurama again. The shorter season/eps comedies are about the only TV series I can pay attention to lol
