Brassic is pretty good so far. Only seen 2 episodes.
Many like Peaky Blinders (not a fan myself)

With all the different streaming platforms with loads of great content on it, that you can watch as you please as opposed to there being a schedule, I’m surprised people still watch normal tv.

Been just watching Netflix and Amazon Prime for a couple years now and enjoy it so much more.

Couldn't deal with that.

Netflix is okay, some good stuff if you have the patience to sift thru all the chaff. Try "Rake".
YouTube does have good stuff on certain subjects.
Amazon Prime usually has anything you really want to see - sometimes at a price, even if you are a prime member!
And would you believe, United Airlines has some good stuff on their planes .....
If you want to see the truth about WW1 try "They Shall Never Grow Old" next time you're on United.

Tbh 90% of the time I use Youtube. The other 10% made up of Netflix and my friends Sky Sports login. Gave up on "normal" TV years ago and got rid of my Virgin box earlier this year.

No regrets whatsoever.

I’m somewhere in between.

Been watching VEEP lately. Couple of episodes s night.

Better than trying to watch one a week for 2 years, better than 6hrs of tv a night

Having been away from us for the best part of 2 decades, I do miss a good comedy panel show. QI, Hsve I got news, buzz Vick’s, that type of thing. Just doesn’t exist over here.

While not quite in the same format, I’ve thiroughly enjoyed Taskmaster

Depends on the show for me.

I binge watch shows like true detective, mindhunter and stranger things. But shows like the office or whatever i watch one or two eps a night.

Anyway I’m not exactly sure why that’s a knock on streaming sites? You’re literally given the freedom to choose to watch it at your convenience, be that binge watching or not. At lunchtime or midnight. It’s the choice it offers that is so much better.

Well that’s bollox for a start.

But nah, it was trying too hard IMO, no subtlety.

I suppose there's no getting around it. I just feel like the target audience for a bunch of content is so specific that I'm finding it difficult to catch on to anything.

High quality comedy sitcoms are so rare. I want another Phoenix Nights or Father Ted.

Tbf It's Always Sunny gets me through a lot.

i agree with the One a week rather than Binging it...
The obvious reason, especially for the platform its on, rather than having your new show watched in one day, and the water cooler convo finished a week after, for 10 to 13 weeks, people will still be talkig about your show.
Everybody has forgotten Stranger Things and that came out just over a month ago....

Disney will have viewers salivating for the next Ep of The Mandalorian.

I think they forgot about it Stranger Things because it was rubbish.

Have you tried This Country? Its not all brilliant but any Episodes that involve Martin Mucklowe are superb.

Sally4Ever was hilarious, many months after watching it certain scenes still have me laughing out loud. How it wasn't banned I'll never know?
