The 80s/90s kids show?

Where is that available? I'd love to see if it's as good as o remember!

I watched it on Britbox. I think it might be on Amazon Prime but I have just discovered- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... ytaZtOWnwj

Someone actually subscribed?

Its part of our internet deal and in fairness its got loads of stuff I've never got round too seeing. Tonight I started The Young Ones.

Anyone know where I can find the parks and recreation 2020 special to watch in the UK. All 7 series are oddly available on sky, Amazon prime and Netflix yet none of them have the special.

Masters of the Universe: Revelation - 6/10

Meh, it's ok but nothing very special. Killing He-Man twice was quite funny.

In a show that's a direct continuation of the 80s kids cartoon, it was really jarring to hear a character say "oh bollocks". I assume Kevin Smith/Netflix don't realise it's a swear word.

American Horror Story - S1, Murder House. Good. Plods abit in places. Would have like to have had more closure but, 8/10.

This didn't really grab me. Only made it about 4 or so episodes in.

Still don't understand the massive internet nerd rage over it though.

There's only 5 episodes. If you watched 4, you might as well finish it.

Really? You can't see how strawberry floating thick right wing neckbeards see it as 'political correctness gone mad', given what happens? I love that they had the balls to be honest.

I checked, I watched 3 episodes. And I'd probably have to watch the last one again as I was bored. So no, absolutely not.

It's more like I don't understand the people doing this. It makes no sense to me.

Well then on that we agree. People are gooseberry fool.

It's watchable, I would give it 6/10. I just don't feel the aliens are very menacing.

I watched the first season when it first aired and enjoyed it. The sound design of the aliens (in their mechanised hounds) was excellent.

Heard that the second season is on Star via Disney+ but I can't strawberry floating find it. Not a trace of season 1 on there either...

It's definitely on, new episodes weekly.

Do you have parental lock on or anything like that?

Invincible - 9/10

strawberry floating hell the violence in that last episode though.

American Horror Story - S2, Asylum. Very good. Good ensemble performances from Jessica Lange, Evan Peters and Sarah Paulson. Alot going on and cramed into the 13 episodes, so it didnt drag like the first season. And even though there were alot of diverse threads, they seemed to come together and remained coherent throughout. Also The Name Game. Great ending too.
10/10.

Has anyone else seen the other seasons? -its hard to think they are better than this one.

The third season is about the witches coven isn’t it? I stopped watching the series halfway through that.

It isn’t up to the first two seasons’ standards. Never bothered to watch the rest of the seasons as well.

I’ve heard that the Freakshows is supposed to be good but never got around it.

There are other good seasons but I think Asylum is the best one.

Parks and recreation - 9.5/10. Possibly my favourite TV series of all time. I laughed during every episode. It was fantastic and truly up my street. Why I waited so long to watch this I will never know. I knew I would like this ten years ago but just never got round to watching it until a few weeks ago. I've binged watched it and it was amazing. The only thing is I haven't seen the 2020 special as that doesn't appear to be available on any UK sources.

Asylum is the best American Horror Story ever gets, I struggle to recommend any season after that. Maybe try Scream Queens instead if you want more Ryan Murphy horror.

Hotel is probably the only other AHS season I'd maybe recommend but it's irritating and I can't explain why without spoilers.

Lilyhammer - 7.5/10

This is best watched by pretending it's a Sopranos sequel where Silvio flees to Norway and Paulie becomes a priest. Lots of mob related hi-jinx, weird Norwegian humour and Brick Top calling everyone a banana split while trying to avenge Dennis Pennis.

Good stuff!
