no, i’m just saying that your reviews of these shows are meaningless as you haven’t really watched them.

also, how can you have a tv in front of you if you also have a kitchen sink in front of you?

As a most definitely light-hearted observation, I’d suggest that whereas it’s perfectly fine to watch TV whilst casually doing domestic chores, one shouldn’t perhaps pass judgement on the quality of any film or series unless they have paid the required level of attention to it.
Then again, I reckon there are countless programmes ATOMIC SUPLEX wouldn’t for a second consider worthy to watch even when doing the dishes, so a ‘dish washing approved content’ is alone a worthy seal of approval imo

Which shows? You know I don't watch absolutely everything while I am washing up and cooking? I think I have made it clear by now that it's only suitable for a certain type of viewing.
. . . and are you telling me I can't quite get all the character nuances of shows like say . . . 'friends', 'Atypical' or 'sex education' , while washing up? Fucks sake. From now on, just for you i'll detail where I watched a show.
I give plenty of favourable and glowing reviews of some shows I wouldn't dream of not giving anything but my full attention to. These go all largely ignored. which is of course fine. . . but if I think something is shit, oh no, "Usual AS, he hates everything, but he didn't really 'watch' that melodramatic american trash because he didn't see it at the fucking imax".
You have zero imagination. Have you heard of laptops? Tablets? Cupboards? There are so many modern ways.
I have a fold up tablet/laptop in front of me at head height on a shelf. When chopping or cooking I have one next to me or on a shelf. Jeez.
Oh, and when I watched sex education I watched it in the front room. It wasn't exactly cerebral so didn't immediately grab me. I only suggested that I should give it another go in an area when I could dedicate less valuable time to it . . . washing up, making breakfast and getting ready for a run. Or is it a series worthy of me buying a 100inch TV and getting surround sound and a sofa for?

A friend has booked a house next summer for her 50th around the very town/area where Sex Education is filmed. After seeing three seasons of sunshine and blue skies there, I would be very disappointed if we get anything less than constant blazing sun and hot weather. I am sure they wouldn’t be as devious as wanting to misrepresent the local weather anyway…

And I think I might have already crossed Lucifer off that list today.

Do what the fuck you like. You are obviously doing the washing up while you read my posts as you are not taking any of what I am saying in.
If that's not the case then your opinion of absolutely everything is worthless and should be disregarded.

Lucifer might not be for anyone who is only satisfied by the very best of light entertainment series, or doesn’t like such genre in the first place (which I would venture to guess might be your case?), but to people who like well produced comedy-dramas on principle I would suggest it’s worth it.
Out of curiosity, did you watch The Good Place, and if so what did you think of it?

I liked it. Pretty sure I raved about it at the time. Nobody remembers my raves.
I didn't watch it while washing up BTW.
'I think' I started watching the second series or at least where she first figures it's the 'bad place'. This may have been because I was watching it on real TV or watching new episodes somehow? Can't remember. Anyway we watched it from the top when I got Netflix. I say 'we' because it was a show the whole family enjoyed. This means it can be watched in relative all consuming eyeballs and ear hole front room prime time luxury.
Wasn't mad keen on the end but I only say that because it wasn't as good as some of the other parts of the series. My daughter really loved the end though, so . . . opinions.

Some of you must have to use an awful lot of your attention to do the washing up if you can't watch telly at the same time...
Washing dishes is seriously the least intense of any household chore, you barely need to look at the stuff you are washing.
I just think some people are better at multi-tasking than others, it's nothing to get in a row about really.

To be fair to Lucifer, I only watched one episode, the beginning of series 4 (where netflix starts). I didn't feel I missed out on anything in the first three series that came before, but I'm not sure I was gripped enough by an overall arc (the police lady was lying about being ok with him as a demon or whatever) or by the flimsy cop mystery of the week (I assume this is what happens in every ep?) that they hang it on.
I liked the general idea though I suppose, but sadly probably too weak to even to do the dishes to. How anyone could say that I'm not taking in the 'full effect' of people walking into rooms and talking to each other because I'm washing up, I really don't know (that's really all happened for most of the show apart from a couple of dotted actions scenes. . . . and yes I saw those even though I was wiping bowls).

Wash a lot of dishes during the day. When home, the last thing want to do is wash dishes and watch telly. Besides, don't have a telly in the kitchen.

as i said, you cannot watch tv properly and simultaneously do anything else that averts your eyes from the screen. i know. i’ve tried it with ironing. every time you look away from the screen you’re not watching it, so you end up having to rewind all the time. it’s not complicated. mebbe if it was a talk show or a quiz or summat but not anything dramatic. Otherwise you might as well listen to the radio or podcasts - at least then you’ll get it all into your headSome of you must have to use an awful lot of your attention to do the washing up if you can't watch telly at the same time...

It’s fucking annoying how some series and films get ping ponged between the various streaming services available. Even more when a channel has the rights to the earlier seasons and another one the latter ones.I'd quite like to watch Lucifer but I would like to watch it from the start (as I have never seen it) and Netflix cannot help with this
The early seasons of Lucifer are as good as the latter ones if not better so worth checking out if you like it. In some of them Lucifer’s mum (God’s wife basically) becomes a regular character, and her presence is funny as.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with glancing at the telly while you're on the phone or doing chores around the house. But it's not showing respect to the programme maker & you're not going to get the best out of the programme you're "watching". Sure, you might argue, some of these shows don't deserve respect. They are news reports/eye candy/mindless/just there for the background. But, you won't know that for sure if you're not sat in front of a glorious screen (the bigger, the better) to imbibe the gems that telly does occasionally offer.
IMHO, obviously.

Don’t knock cartoons. They are an excellent mental health tonic for anyone who gets pissed off at the ceaseless stupidity of the human race. Excellent replacement for the morning news reporting depressing shit I can do nothing about.
Eat your morning cereal whilst watching Priti Patel talking about pushing immigrants into the sea, vs Plankton’s latest scheme to steal the Krabby Patty’s secret formula? No contest.

They're far more than just entertaining escapism. Some of them are spellbinding, or deal with real life and/or literature. There's a very diverse number of art/stories out there that happen to come under the cartoon umbrella.
Am just as happy with the mouse bashing the cat, as am with the depiction of life post 1979 Iran as seen through the eyes of a young woman, or a drugged, dystopian future with Keanu...
