I was watching this thinking it was terrible and then my roommate pointed out it was a pastiche of Serial/Making of a Murderer etc. and it almost instantly become funny

that reminds me of a story a friend told me: he was somehow involved in the organization of a new downtown sculpture park, and a wealthy family was footing a lot of the bill and donating a couple sculptures currently in their front yard
this older wealthy woman kind of nonchalantly says: "oh, we'll have to have our restoration person clean one of the statues. the high school students have painted a penis on it again"

I've been enjoying Norsemen in a lowkey kinda way.
― ian, Wednesday, 27 September 2017 22:25 (six years ago) link
I enjoyed Norsemen but it was really kind of flimsy.
Proof if proof be need be though that the Guardian know nothing about TV. Python? Basil Fawlty?

"If you liked Norsemen, watch: Viking Apocalypse (Netflix), Chelmsford 123 (All4)."
Lol! a bit of a Rory McGrath boost from the Graun recommendation bot. GL to anyone who tries that "forgotten gem".
― calzino, Thursday, 28 September 2017 10:41 (six years ago) link
And Viking Apocalypse seems to be a serious, fairly in-depth doc about why the viking population in Britain died out.

I was just going to say that I enjoyed Norsemen. Meant to find this thread and say it. Now see others beat me to it.But then again it was a recommended series in the Guardian G2 last week so probably has a few new watchers anyway.
I assume there's a 2nd season coming at some point.
& has the bald head baddy been in other things,, think I recognise him but not sure.

He was in Lilly hammer and 1 ep of Ripper Street.
I recognised the ineffectual leader as the international sex-pest drug trafficker from recent BBC3 teen thriller Clique, and as the boss of the company who have bought Perfect Curve (FUN) in the brand new series of W1A.

I got halfway through American Vandal last night. I've got to finish this and will not be able to sleep until I know... who did the dicks?!

Cannot figure out what I think of Neo Yokio after a couple of eps. Such a jarring meshing of references
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Friday, 29 September 2017 21:07 (six years ago) link
Only just figured out it’s New Yorkio or whatever. Is it interesting? What Is it?

American Vandal is brilliantly constructed and the payoff with the lead is really well done.

Mr. Kraz reminds me of so many teachers I’ve worked with / detested. The moment he storms off the stage during the teacher of the year award is A+++

the cast of Big Mouth:
john mulaney, nick kroll, jenny slate, jason mantzoukas, maya rudolph, fred armisen, jordan peele
― Mordy, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 03:50 (six years ago) link
I watched the first three episodes and enjoyed it. I like it a lot, but the characters seem to be drawn a lot younger than I think they should look, if that makes sense? Like, they look like they're just a step above Rugrats, but they're all going through puberty. Odd disconnect. But it's funny and unexpectedly sweet.
― trishyb, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 07:22 (six years ago) link
i told my 14 year old that i finally found the PERFECT show that he would never want to watch with his parents. Big Mouth. i cringed just watching one episode by myself.

I mentioned Big Mouth on the 10 TV shows yr watching thread and no one took me up on it, I figured it'd gone under the radar! They break the 4th wall a few times during the season re it being weird to watch kids + penises and vajays.
That sounds sordid... I thought the show was deftly and sweetly handled, even with the filth. I'd say more but dont wanna spoiler it.

Suburra looks excellent, also I'm buzzing for S3 of Gomorrah that is coming soon.
― calzino, Wednesday, 11 October 2017 20:01 (six years ago) link
I think I liked the Kettering Incident but got kind of irritated by a relatively slow pace followed by "whoops here's the exposition" in the last couple episodes
― mh, Wednesday, 11 October 2017 20:24 (six years ago) link
ketting incident is good!! final ep is odd but i loved all of it
