On The Watch podcast, they said they were going for that thing that true crime TV shows do where they keep cutting back to the gruesome crime-scene photos over and over to keep you outraged and disgusted. We made it through, but I felt bad for my wife, who could barely take it. It was worth it for how great a show it is, but... yuck.

It was a lot, and it was worst during the opening scene. I got desensitized after a while, but the Brownout was hard to take

Mairead's argument against veganism is the worst thing I've ever heard, and is also why Brexit happened

Truly awful. "You're responsible for the death of all those rabbits and worms."

Although Sian thinking you had to cut a cow in half was a bit makesyouthinkemoji.

Precious is awful, she will go next I reckon.

Precious is dreadful yeah and I really hope she goes. why does Scotty keep winning everyone around? he is truly a renaissance man

I suspect he's learned the art of appearing sincere when he apologises and it's not much more than that.

Dan and Mairead meeting doesn't look like it'll be that interesting.

Precious and Harry (?) will be the next two to go, it's too late for them to do well unless someone massively fucks up. They keep broadcasting fakeouts of Freddie and Kate being caught in their catfish but it's not going to happen - unless maybe Freddie gets caught out over football by Harry since he isn't a psychic.

i really love how Dan has called EVERYTHING spot-on except kate hahaha

imago, Wednesday, 3 October 2018 08:10 (five years ago) link

After the first couple of days I read on twitter:

Dan slowly falls in love with Kate
Dan finds out Kate is Alex
Dan questions his sexuality and goes with it

This might be the ultimate outcome.

Bimlo Horsewagon became Wheelbarrow Horseflesh (aldo), Wednesday, 3 October 2018 08:23 (five years ago) link

well it's all gone a bit dark now

Number None, Wednesday, 3 October 2018 21:22 (five years ago) link

Yeah, Alex has fucked that right up.

Bimlo Horsewagon became Wheelbarrow Horseflesh (aldo), Wednesday, 3 October 2018 21:23 (five years ago) link

Dan doing Oprah "...and YOU get a red flag" was the highlight of the night though.

Still sticking with Precious and Harry to the the next to go, although after tonight I actually think Freddie could fuck up before Kate (even if nobody trusts her - I think her best play now is to go to Scotty, Sian and Dan with the truth as "secrets" because they'll appreciate the honesty, although it might be too late with Dan, and may not share it with each other).

First episode of Crawford-less Lethal Weapon was...ok.

Although looks like Wayans is leaving too now so can't see how it can go beyond this season.

yessss at the Lodge 49 renewal! was not expecting that at all.

wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Thursday, 4 October 2018 19:01 (five years ago) link

Cool! I watched a few of them and loved it, but hadn't watched the rest of of fear of cancellation.

DJI, Thursday, 4 October 2018 19:32 (five years ago) link

Oh my days Freddie doesn't know what a lifeline he's thrown Kate there, sparing her from making the deciding vote. Maybe a return gift for the mindblowing fact she told him earlier

imago, Thursday, 4 October 2018 23:39 (five years ago) link

Him thinking through his logic was undeniably right though.

Oh dear

imago, Monday, 8 October 2018 21:10 (five years ago) link

Channel Four, what have you wrought

imago, Monday, 8 October 2018 21:14 (five years ago) link

the girlfriend reveal...

Number None, Monday, 8 October 2018 21:15 (five years ago) link

Dan is fuming.

Bimlo Horsewagon became Wheelbarrow Horseflesh (aldo), Monday, 8 October 2018 21:17 (five years ago) link

Alex basically has to share the money with the others if he wins

imago, Monday, 8 October 2018 21:26 (five years ago) link

He gave Dan only 2!! Dan gave him 5! Oh god this is dreadful

imago, Monday, 8 October 2018 21:41 (five years ago) link

This is going to be the most Pyrrhic victory ever, unless he gives...half of it to Dan

imago, Monday, 8 October 2018 21:42 (five years ago) link

Maybe even all of it lol

imago, Monday, 8 October 2018 21:43 (five years ago) link

He's proven himself to be just the teeniest bit of an utter dick.

Bimlo Horsewagon became Wheelbarrow Horseflesh (aldo), Monday, 8 October 2018 21:45 (five years ago) link

Sian just called herself "a little bit Butters".

Bimlo Horsewagon became Wheelbarrow Horseflesh (aldo), Monday, 8 October 2018 21:45 (five years ago) link

he's a youtube comedian who used to work for unilad. He's definitely an utter dick

Number None, Monday, 8 October 2018 21:46 (five years ago) link

Twitter is apparently siding with Alex over Dan, interestingly

imago, Monday, 8 October 2018 22:00 (five years ago) link

Dan was being a dick when they met, which suits the knee jerk.

As opposed to Alex, who's just a jerk.

Bimlo Horsewagon became Wheelbarrow Horseflesh (aldo), Monday, 8 October 2018 22:02 (five years ago) link

Channel Four has wrought the tragedy of our age. GIVE HALF OF IT TO DAN

imago, Monday, 8 October 2018 22:03 (five years ago) link

yeah this is a bit grim tbh

Number None, Monday, 8 October 2018 22:12 (five years ago) link

This is the most traumatic thing ever

imago, Monday, 8 October 2018 22:13 (five years ago) link

I...he....I mean, I was rooting for him but now I regret it all

imago, Monday, 8 October 2018 22:14 (five years ago) link

we are all complicit

Number None, Monday, 8 October 2018 22:15 (five years ago) link

perhaps that was the point all along...

Number None, Monday, 8 October 2018 22:15 (five years ago) link

I feel used.

Bimlo Horsewagon became Wheelbarrow Horseflesh (aldo), Monday, 8 October 2018 22:18 (five years ago) link

they probably should have rigged it so that 2nd place in the public vote won at least

Number None, Monday, 8 October 2018 22:19 (five years ago) link

yeah this feels like some diabolical derren brown morality play

imago, Monday, 8 October 2018 22:21 (five years ago) link

Was really expecting an ‘If you have been affected by any of the issues in tonight’s show...’

tangenttangent, Monday, 8 October 2018 22:24 (five years ago) link

The kicker is it was Sian that won him it.

Alex gave everyone 1 except Dan who he gave a 2. Freddie gave everyone 1.

If we assume Dan gave Kate 5 and Sian gave Freddie 5 they cancel out and rule out Dan and Sian - even if they give each other 5 they cap out at 7/8 which isn't enough.

Dan gives Freddie 3 I reckon (which is what he gave him in the last scoring) so Sian gave Kate 4.

Bimlo Horsewagon became Wheelbarrow Horseflesh (aldo), Monday, 8 October 2018 22:33 (five years ago) link

alex handing out those marks was the real dark twist

imago, Monday, 8 October 2018 22:35 (five years ago) link

also, the public presumably voted for Alex/Kate for "playing a good game" and in the assumption that Sian or Dan (the previously popular players) would win the 50k

Number None, Monday, 8 October 2018 22:41 (five years ago) link

if it is your intention to make me hate whatever this show is sight unseen you have succeeded

please for the love of “Dan” START YOUR OWN THREAD

I finally watched s1 of The Sinner - def the best of the recent spate of Gritty Crime Thrillers where people have Dark Secrets, mostly due to the fine performances and relatively restrained dialogue. How's s2?

wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Tuesday, 9 October 2018 01:33 (five years ago) link

s2 is even better. great story + Carrie Coons!
