Anybody dived into This Town yet? Toying with giving it a go tonight or going back and giving The Gone another go based on @Premier ram bigging it up.

Anatomy of a Fall on Amazon Prime for £4.49. We ended up watching this in two halves after starting it a bit late on Sunday. At half-time, I was pretty stoked. It had fabulous acting and a well-written script, and I felt it was bubbling up nicely. The second half started with a clever court scene with more really excellent acting. Then nothing happened much. Rather than building to a crescendo, it just disappeared up its own arse. I thought I was getting Stimac/10, and ended up with Steve Mac/10

My 3 favourite things are eating my family and not using commas.

We finished the second season of The Traitors, Australia, last night The best of all of the seasons we have seen, which is both UK, both Australian and the first US (easily the worst). It works for me because there is such a strong psychological element, and seeing how cognitive biases and heuristics kick into full effect is fascinating.

Did you think it was awful to begin with, as I did? Normally I can see some promise, but I saw nothing in this.

I think you have us mixed up with someone else mate. We are marginally better than most teams in an awful division, but I'd not go any further than that. But I don't care if we go up. I can worry about next season, next season.

Got this from a Forest supporting mate on WhatsApp yesterday: Down today Poor game and poor atmosphere Music to my ears.

I'd rather we win

Watched the first episode of The Gone last night on iPlayer. It's stereotypical, cliched bollox with soap opera-level acting and a similar level of scriptwriting. It's painful to watch on every level, and I really don't think I can go back to it even though it's only one episode.

We couldn't have kids either because I'm a total jaffa. But I would imagine knowing that from the get-go is much easier to manage than what you have had to deal with. All I can say is you have my best wishes, and you are lucky to have one another.

I totally misread that.

Cue Warne going to a flat back 9.

Oh yes, get in there. !

I'd say that was a good idea. But ya know, it's Leeds, so it's not.

@NottsRam @Anag Ram @Comrade 86 have you all seen the Canadian gangster series Bad Blood? That was fantastic but they only made two seasons. I'm going to guess you have.

Not sure what to watch next. @Stive Pesley has put me off moving on to season two of Bloodline. I enjoyed season one, but now Danny is dead, and he was the best character, and after Stive's brutal and slamming indictment, I think we should maybe remember it fondly and move on. No more than a 7/10 for me. This Town looks interesting but isn't available until the weekend, so I may opt for Coma - any thoughts? I just pulled up a lot of top dramas now available and came across this. I don't think I've heard of it, but it looks pretty good.

Tory Britain, very realistic 😬

Driving to Perranporth Beach on Sunday.

Went back to check out Bloodline on Netlfix from 2017. Incredibly slow plot development, but some great acting, and I'm hooked. It has taken 10 episodes, though, and only strong recommendations got me to hang on and give it a chance. Unless they go all Game of Thrones with the ending, we'll definitely move on to season two. Oh, and er, well, we watched the first season of The Traitors Australia and have moved on to the second. Paul Warne's career with Derby, in the eyes of certain board members, is more salvageable than my credibility.

I agree, not one. Catastrophe Calamity Cataclysm Tragedy Devastation Apocalypse Upheaval Debacle Fiasco Misfortune Mishap Misadventure Reversal Setback Blow Disappointment Letdown Bummer Fizzle Upset

If you can ignore the football, Warne is such a likeable person. I'd definitely piss on him if he was on fire.

Any time added will be a crime. To humanity.
