Without Cousin Greg and Tom it would not be watchable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to see Bodies is not on the list. I'm three episodes in, and so far I think it is brilliant. But I heard that the "conclusion" might be a real let down. But people said that about Lost, and I loved that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And oh man, I love Reservation Dogs! The last season was a bit weaker, at least at the beginning, but they wrapped it up nicely, Season 1 is a true masterpiece, and Season 2 is a great continuation of the story. It might be a totally different culture, but I related so much to the friendship dynamics and the general circumstances of that coming of age story. Also the humour is hilarious.

I feel like the best shows are the one that manage to get in touch with the local community/culture and make the humour relatable without weaking it to try and make it understandable for an audience that are sort of globalised now through social media. Derry Girls for example done a really good job of it and you relate to them without even directly relating to what they're going through.

It is a tiring watch, I watched it all in one mainly just to watch those two lol.

A comedy series about Tom and Greg would be great tbh I got through about one and a half episodes and I just can't bring myself to watch anymore. I hate all the characters, they're all unlikeable and unrelatable. I'm sure that's by design because of who they're meant to be, so credit to them for that... but I can't be arsed watching it. It's a slow burn with people that are so easy to dislike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a shame they don’t explore those layers. The only characters given an interesting arc are Tom and Greg. They tried to do it with Kendall at the end of series 1 but everything became repetitive and they never really explored the kids death as much as they could have for Kendall. I felt half the storytelling was just quick witted jokes and vague cultural reference points dressed up as plot development.

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,613 Posted December 22, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted December 22, 2023 Nice to see The Bear at #1, it really was good TV imo and you sort of see where the season is going you just don't expect it to end the way it does.
