What's currently good on 4OD?

[Mrs Miggins]

Is it just me who finds watching All4 almost impossible? I pause and rewind a lot as I get distracted and All4 makes this very difficult. The screen greys out sometimes and you have to stop and resume to get back to normal. You can’t fast forward through ads. If you pause, adverts pop up, so you can’t freeze frame to check a detail.
This may be because of the interface I use - the app on the PS4. Or is it the same on smart TVs or Freeview?

Not just you. I can't watch anything with ads any more. It really drives me crazy. Can't pause or skip the ads on All4 and I'm not paying for another subscription to get rid of them. I've got access to enough ad free stuff from other services so sadly, I just don't watch things on All4.

I just want to watch Taskmaster! It took me two hours last night and I didn’t really watch it properly in the end.

We watch that recorded via Sky...

you mean freeview via Skybox? I don’t have that, just the PS4

Yeah. We pay handsomely for Sky but it is a great service. IMO.

Finished this last night and thoroughly recommend. Some excellent interviews with the activists involved, as well as some absolutely enraging interviews with the filth.

Been watching Phone Shop again. It’s excellent.

I thought I was the only person in the world who finds it hilarious

It’s great. Despite being really dated, it’s timeless!

Due a rewatch then.

Oh my days, sandwiches?

We watched You Were Never Really Here on 4od last night, with Joaquin Phoenix playing another brilliant fucked up man. He does twisted so well.

Added to my watchlist

We've just watched all 4 episodes of Imposter: The Man who cam back from the Dead - very odd case which I recalled seeing in the news at the time but didn't really pay attention to. There is also a podcast on Audible if you have that about the same case called I am not Nicholas if you're interested.

Who is Arthur Knight? A bookish nice guy just woken up from a coma? Or Nicholas Rossi in disguise - a sexually aggressive narcissist and one of America's most wanted? Part of True Crime on Channel 4.

 

[Throbbing Angel]

oof

Just spotted that they still have Garth Marenghi's Darkplace on there too

Might watch that this evening. I really enjoyed it in the cinema. For a certain value of enjoyed…

My partner's production company made that. So I've had to watch it too (I think it's a very interesting story. Was a bit irritated by some of the stylistic choices- took too long to explain what he was actually accused of for example).

You can tell them that we loved it! ikwym about some of the stylistic choices - but that's always the case isn't it - some people like/go with their choice and some don't - horses for whassname innit.

I thought it was very well made and didn't suffer from the "two hours of content crammed into four hours of TV" syndrome that some documentaries do when they're clearly dragging it out to fill the allotted time-slot due to production company or advertising commitments. Seem to get that a lot with USA true crime that's made for TV. Not all of them, but a fair lump of them.

I’m enjoying The Nevermets.

I've watched that today and am totally hooked. Can't wait to see how these stories pan out although none of them look at all promising.

I loved S1, really looking forward to S2

 

[Bus Honeygun]

Also binge-watched (something I never normally do) the Imposter: Man Who Came Back From the Dead last night. Disturbing and bizarre in equal measure.

The thing with Jay and Veena is making me really uncomfortable. He's 17! He's too young to be getting pushed to marry her.

This is fucking good. How come I'm only finding it now?

 

[nottsgirl]

Has anyone watched Queenie? I’ve seen mixed reviews.

Got it lined up. Will report back.

 

[nagapie]

Have just started and almost finished Ladyparts series 2 because it's too good not to binge.

 

[kalidarkone]

I'm loving Queenie.

 

[nottsgirl]

Rewatched Lion tonight. It’s pretty good.

 

[pbsmooth]

The Fall: Skydive Murder Plot

Crazy story. Some scary people out there.

 

[nagapie]

I'm loving Queenie.

Just started it. Excellent. In the vein of I May Destroy You. Loving these young black female writers.
