I completely lost it about four times in that episode, was absolutely brilliant.

When they’re doing the hypnosis and Laszlo says “FORGET EVERYTHING” you can see what’s gonna happen but it’s still bloody brilliant. And also when Colin Robinson makes the guy wet himself I nearly fell off my chair.
This series made no effort to move the story forward. All of the characters are wrapped in the best plot armour the BBC can provide. The characters they did kill off had a net contribution of zero to the show and I think one of them had approximately 5 lines of dialogue.
You could have just watched the first and last episode. Completely pointless.
Given a few points because jodie comer is very good and I do like the style of the show.
Dark S2 - 10/10 Binged through it in 2 days. Thought I had a good grasp of what was going on until the last few episode when it all went batshit. Onto season 3...

I probably should have rewatched S2 before starting S3. I'm a few episodes in and, while I was following S1 and 2 well enough, I'm definitely struggling more now.
I'd heard good things about this but it never really appealed to me. I was wrong, it's pretty good. Not perfect and the main character is an utter wanker (I know he's supposed to be!), but it's funny and has some heart.
Steves and Decoy deserve better than to have the other bellends as friends.
Warrior Nun on netflix. 7/10. I watched it because of the title Its a bit slow, 10 episodes could have been shorter. Alot of filler. not much character development or action. It is an intriguing story though, and the locations are generally really good. Massive cliff hangerat the end. I heard it was based on a comic, so hopefully there will be a S2.
Not sure I've ever seen a show in which the quality has collapsed so quickly. Season 3 was great, but this was just a disaster, I mean come on, why kill off two main characters so suddenly after three seasons of solid character development? The new characters were a mix of nonsensical and dull, and Morgan was certainly no replacement as lead when compared to the brilliant Madison Clark.
Not sure I even want to bother with season 5 after this.
Superb tv; one of the best shows I've watched in ages. Though I'd forgot loads of the original story at the start. It wasn't until I'd read a synopsis of the comic that it all started to make sense. Couldn't imagine getting the same enjoyment from it going in knowing nothing.
I didn't think I'd enjoy this as much as the first season for some reason, but I thought it was just as good, albeit taking a slightly different approach and focusing on different aspects of the club. It was a bit disappointing that there was really very little focus on the players compared to S1, and you had no idea which players were still there or had left (for example, there's no mention of Johnny Williams leaving until he appears against Sunderland in the playoff final).
I guess the focus shifted to the new owners, which was definitely interesting, but I'd have liked to have seen more balance. Fewer episodes didn't help either, when S1 was already too short really.
It's interesting reading up on the players and staff now though, in particular Charlie Methven and Stewart Donald (and the latter being in the headlines literally a few days ago), as well as players like Maja.
