Troy and Abed in the morning
Luke Cage season 2.
Better than the first, brilliant music and musicians and one of the greatest endings ever.
To be fair they stole the ending from a movie (and the simpsons and modern family and no doubt others) so it doesn't get a lot of credit for it.
Over-filled with plot, could have been trimmed down a few episodes but honestly, the music on it's own makes it worth it.
Bushmaster was good and so was Shades. Lots of backstories helped make the characters more interesting.

Funnier than he thinks he is.
Just watched 3 superb documentaries.
Icarus- looking at how the Russian sport doing scandal was unearthed by accident.
Denial- a docu/drama about the libel case involving David Irvine, holicaust denuer.
Attacking the Devil- The story of Thakidomide and the work of Harold Dvans, Sunday Times editor, in exposing the scandal and gaining compensation for those affected. It’s not an easy watch, it’s sad, heart wrenching, but incredibly inspiring. I urge everyone to watch, but realise tfat some younger posters may not even be aware of the scandal.

Though I had forgotten he had apparently emigrated, what with turns in the likes of RakeGeorge Fucking Garfield!

NPR?
I thought it was incredible. It was funny in places but it was also one of the most inspiring, thought provoking and emotional things I’ve watched.
I love her, she was brilliant in Please Like Me.

It's ok. No more, no less. Very much a British legal system focus to the story.

It was certainly thought provoking.
I didn't agree with all she said, for example I don't think being self-effacing is necessarily being self-denigrating. It's often the most charming comedy, and defo gets you on the comedian's side. And if the alternative is being a self congratulatory bighead then I'm not sure if it would be that productive. Not that she offered that as the alternative.
I'd like to see some of her actual comedy, if that's not damning with feint praise.

It was end of the worldy and had a little bit of a Taken-vibe about it. I love the ones where the world properly goes to shit.

That bit really stayed with me because she’s right, we do tear ourselves down with humour. I know I do it and I’ve been thinking a lot about why and whether it’s actually good for me.
Watched first series over the last 3 nights and started series 2 tonight. It's really good, fast paced and some of the episodes are only 35 minutes long so it's easy to get through.

It's certainly compulsory viewing for anyone with any interest in feminism .
Netflix seem to be a real force for good in the stand up comedy world.

Just watched 3 of this and am loving it. The story is gripping, it looks beautiful and the music is great. Top marks.
It's not the same thing at all but another brilliant Indian film I watched a while back - "Special 26". Really good.
