@Rambler on the show the only notable MP is a Tory who actually helps but with how all the news are proper going in on this so it should be a major talking point come election time. I heard about this on a podcast years ago, it’s one of those things where you hear about it again years later and you go to yourself “what? That was years ago, how has this still not been sorted out yet!”.
I reckon after the success of the show there is going to be a few more social outrage shows to come now and if they get people to care then good! Grenfell fires, Hillsborough, Primodos, Rwanda immigration (it boggles my mind how they thought that was a good idea just on cost alone let alone the principles), pandemic contracts, cash for honours etc.
I’m looking forward to the Hollywood remake where Chris Pratt or Tom Cruise decide it’s their turn for an Oscar so take a paycut form meh action movies for a drama to play a humble relatable British postmaster fighting for justice.
@Rambler Perhaps an American Horror Story/True Detective type show where it resets every season. With every season showing true British culture, large indifference to horrible situations which ruined people’s lives.
Ooh, I’ve never heard of The Comic Strip (before my time) but I like the cast and premise. I’m gonna see if it’s on my streaming thingies later.
Thanks for the link, I’ve been following the story in the news already. Some of the points raised in that article are in the show, like when it went to court The Post Office called an Indian man to the stand thinking he’d be easier to show as an idiot who couldn’t get the program to work but backfires on them and gave good testimony. I did like seeing the tweet in the article about looking how Fujitsu’s shares are doing but it can’t be displayed because of the network error.
Been binging on the Castlevania Netflix series. I am enjoying it alot and must say it follows the two games really well. The only part I didn't like and felt like it was thrown in was in season 3 the part of Alucard and the twins. That whole part just felt like it was added just to give Alucard screen time. Would have preferred if they just didn't have Alucard and say he was in his slumber which according to the game mythos after Castlevania III he was.
Other then that I am really enjoying the series and can't wait to start the next one. Loved the battle with Dracula army with Bloody Tears playing.

Finished up Castlevania. It's one of the best show based on a game series that I have seen. Looking forward to the next series which I will probably start here soon.

I can't stop watching After Mindnight<33 It's on CBS after Colbert, also available on Paramount+. It's hosted by Taylor Tomlinson. I've watched them all except one. It premiered Jan 16. It airs 4 nights a week, Mon-Thur. There's about 8 episodes so far.
The show is basically a resurrection of the late night Comedy Central show called @ Midnight. The new host is good. I like her!
Watched Netflix's Avatar The Last Airbender and I was disappointed. The first episode filled me with hope. The cast really looked like their animation counterparts, but the budget cut decisions and their behavioral changes were just ... bad.
While they looked like in the show, they acted very differently.
I am watching Chouriki Sentai Ohranger. Classic Sentai action so far. Really loving the vibe and energy the people are putting in the show. Makes me feel like a little kid again, who is cheering on the good guys, to defeat evil.
Seriously there is so much passion in these shows, I am sure the people acting have a great time. This is my fifth Sentai show, by the way.
I’ve just finished watching Hazbin Hotel which I gave a try since da internet lovez it, yeah it’s pretty good. I enjoy the vibe of Hot Topic Disney emo musical. It’s nice having a sweary cartoon that isn’t another try hard irrelevant sitcom like Family Guy or Rick & Morty.
I really love the premise of Heaven regularly goes on killing sprees in Hell to squash overpopulation so the kid daughter of Lucifer starts a rehabilitation program for sinners to have enough personal growth to be worthy to go to Heaven instead to avoid overpopulation.
just started binge watching Season 1 of Star Trek Discovery on paramountplus last night. not bad of a newer modern Star Trek show. Surak I cant stand where his tendril thingies cause him to be paranoid all the time when Micheal Burnham is around when she just wants to talk to him or whatever
Loving the Fallout TV series so far. They manged to capture the feel of the games perfectly. I am watched the first 4 episodes tonight and can't wait to finish it.

@Tasuki I approached with cautious optimism, only seen ep1... but it is pretty excellent in fairness. Tonally, it reminds me somewhat of 'The Boys' - managing to tow a fine line between delivering some fantastic emotional performances, whilst retaining a degree of dark humour in approaching the subject matter.
I've been a huge Goggins fan since The Shield, delighted that he gets snapped up for these roles... he's fantastic in it
Today I have watched the whole season 1 of Fallout in one sitting and it was awesome! They captured the tone of the games so damn well! Also, there were tons of easter eggs in there!
"War ... war never changes!" - was used so well!
The only Fallout game I have ever finished was Fallout 3 and now I am pumped to play Fallout 4 until its end!
@Tasuki The Baldur's Gate Fallouts are not so interesting to me but I might try them out in the future. Fallout 3 and the rest really made immersion a priority
@Zuljaras I enjoyed 1 and 2 for what they were, but Infirst played them years ago before 3 came out. 3 for me was a great evolution of the series and a smart move to go in the direction they did. I didn't like 4 mainly cause of the base building stuff it felt like it was shoehorned in.
