Is Normal People worth watching?

Watched first two episodes of Shogun. So far so good. I'm having a little trouble figuring out who is who, but that's normal for me.

Started watching Life & Beth. The first two episodes were kinda dark but interesting enough to keep watching. Got substantially better once Michael Cera showed up. Just watched the one where they went fishing. Good stuff.

Very much so. (If you don't mind nudity) Well acted. The 2 leads are tremendous.

FINALLY!

Been watching Spooks that is streaming on Amazon. I watched the series, except for season 1, years ago when it went by the American title MI-5. Excellent series.

People mind nudity? What is this the 1700’s?

Thanks for the rec!

In case there were kids around or you plan to watch it with them.
Or you're a guy on the fence whether to watch or not.

we were actually quite pro nudity then, quite a few dresses left exposed titties then

I just found this last night...I was excited

John, I watched the first episode of Spooks/MI-5....does it get better? That was like a cutrate episode of 24.

I watched it a number of years ago, but I don't remember a single episode from the first two seasons. I think it gets better when a number of other characters get fleshed out.

Also, for me, the series begins to take off at the end of season three when Nicola Walker becomes one of the main characters.

I also like the struggle between spying and politics.

Hyped for Vanderpump Rules Season 11!

Just finished Mare of Easttown. Really really really (really) good. Highly recommend.

it really (really) is
wonderful acting

Shogun is elite

If you liked The Tourist, then you will probably like The Boat Story on Amazon Prime. And you might even like it more and laugh a lot more.

Just finished the latest True Detective. What a mess. Was it the water? The town? Dead people? Crazy science gone wrong? They just tossed the kitchen sink into this one. I'm not sure what Jodie Foster was thinking taking this role. I'm guessing she got paid really well. Hope so. Would not recommend.

Damn good show

Documentary on the 1998 WSOP, narrated by John Hurt.

Just started it. I'm in a happy place for TV with Shogun, The 3 Body Problem and Mare of Eastown

3 Body Problem was wild...with a truly horrifying event in episode 5

Lately, I have become obsessed with reaction videos. Zoomers reacting to the Beatles, Opera singers reacting to Janis Joplin, Black people reacting to Bill Burr or the Bee Gees... sometimes You-Tube is like a rabbit hole, you can fall in and never reach the end of it..

calling it a tube is not coincidence

Aye, I was hooked on professional singers/voice coaches reactions for a while, especially to the singer Dimash.

Recently it's been Americans learning or watching the best of sports - football, cricket, rugby, snooker.

Also find any food reaction ones kinda interesting. 'Tribes People React' is very sweet.

i can't stand that genre unless it's children trying to make a call with a rotary phone because then the reaction is real or when it's someone who's legitimately at the top of their field and thus has insights I would value, like seeing dave grohl talk about the drumline of a hit song carries a lot more weight and meaning to me to a professional youtube who used to play in a cover band at bars on Friday evenings



most of it is faked and exaggerated in my opinion

things like "professional voice coaches" reacting to songs every person on earth has heard at least 100 times and pretending to be unfamiliar with it

i'd appreciate it more if they just called it what it really was, analysis, but for whatever reason "reaction" is the zeitgeist so they dress up the analysis as a reaction
