Let's have a TV shows thread.

Really enjoyed squid game but agree, final game especially was very underwhelming, they need more skill based games and less luck based for the next one as it would have a better balance obviously you need luck to win and they should have luck based challenges but other than the marbles and the cookie and the box on the table I think basically every other challenge was pure luck.

Agree with you mostly on this, however I found the finale to be uninspiring and pretty boring to be honest. Definitely a fair share of luck required, and next to no skill.

 

Also, I just don't understand the tactics used by one of the final 3 once the first person had chosen their shape. I'm not sure why they volunteered to go first as it basically gave them a 50/50 chance of getting eliminated. If they had chosen 2nd, they would have pretty much been guaranteed a spot in the final 2 (given that the other person could have either picked the red shape and got eliminated or picked the green and chosen the other individual for the final spot). Seemed a very odd tactic, which ultimately backfired.

I felt like that person didn't want to but 'took one for the team' but you're right, if that person had really thought about it, they should have insisted in at least a coin toss type of way to chose who went next.

I enjoyed Squid Game:The Challenge.

 

No issues with the winner.

 

Same with most, the finale wasn't as good as the rest of the episodes leading up to it, but still an enjoyable watch overall.

Watching the Ronnie documentary. What an absolute genius that bloke is. Troubled as hell but a once in a lifetime sportsman 

[Parafox]

Did anybody else watch Masterchef, The Professionals, this week? 

 

The restaurant "Alchemist" that was featured was, and I rarely use this word in full context, AMAZING!

He’s not my cup of tea but I hope he’s doing alright since his wife passed away.

[Tommy G]

Thought the final ep of squid games was disappointing 

[Harry96]

Fargo s5 seems to be back to its best like the earlier seasons so far

Just caught up with the first 3 episodes of season 3 of slow horses, absolutely superb TV. 

Oldman is sublime.

Did the same last night, probably my favourite new non-limited series of the last 18 months.

Working my way back through The Killing again. Such a great show.

Anyone watching Vigil S2? First episode was really good, so was the first series.

Assuming you mean the original, one of my top 5 shows of all time. 

 

Probably the best murder mystery ever made. 

 

And what a jumper.

Not the Danish one, no. Not sure where I could find that - and it wouldn’t suit being on while I work as I can’t speak Danish.

Yes, just binged watched the whole series in the last two weeks.

An indescribable experience, some very challenging dishes too, mind you at nearly £1k per person you'd want something extraordinary!

I can't comprehend paying that for a meal.

Watch Love/Hate on ITVx man, 5 series, very good cast and Aidan Gillen fron Kin is in it as well. Definitely power through the first series though, it grows in to a much better series than the first would have you think.

Started from the beginning of this with series 1.

Bloody hell its like being back in memory lane!!!

 

Its slow going and i can see my Mrs look at me and think "what the feck"

 

But ive told het Tommy Fresh has recommended it so lets stick with it!!!

 

If she leaves me because of this it will be on your fecking head.

[Stuntman_Mike]

The White Lotus is nothing like I expected it to be, but finding it a good watch.

 

Hope they do a 3rd series.

Haha, yeah once you get past that hazey looking first series it definitely gets a lot better, mainly because it doesn't look so dated but the writing seems to get better as well.

Enjoyed the 007 reality programme on prime, only thing that bugged me throughout was cutting to the guy from succession just smirking over and over. Weird.
