Thread for TV, film and music recommendations! What have you been feeding into your eyes and ears recently? What have we missed and should know about?
The prompt in this post reminds me of Jesse from The Fast Show (Mark Williams)
“This week, I have mostly been…”
So for the rest of this week i will mostly be bingeing every episode of the fast show on BBC iPlayer since I’m told they’re not expiring for another two more years.
And then after the final Fast Show I’ll probably watch the anniversary special. Whitehouse’s Rowley Birkin QC is phenomenal in the sketch where he’s recounting a story of his youth without presently being drunk. Incredibly delivered and written in a poignant way that only British comedy seems able to achieve; à la Blackadder Goes Over The Top/Goodbyeee.
Edit: this is the one. https://youtu.be/QlZFfXAUr2I
Late to the thread I know, but I’ve been watching Legion this week and I’ve no idea why I slept on this so long. It really is spectacular and I’m loving it.
You’ve just reminded me that I never finished it. Will definitely stick it on my watchlist. I’ve been rewatching Silicon Valley, which is also great.
Incredibly late to the party but I’m probably going to finish S1 of Happy Valley tonight. Flicking between that, The Witcher s3 (no idea what’s going on) and Taskmaster for a bit of light relief.
I somehow was under the impression that Happt Valley was a comedy. Maybe a dark comedy, but comedy nonetheless. Boy was I wrong.
That show was fucking GRIM. 1 season was enough for me.
Yup, it definitely does not live up to the name. So good though. Haven’t started s2 yet, need to decompress for a bit.
