The time they're taking to get the subtitles fixed on all C4 programming is a joke.You would think they'd have had a decent back up plan for a time when something like this might happen.

Even live subs are better than nothing. I literally can't watch it without subs unless we have it loud enough for the whole street.

Just watched the 1st season of the Newsroom on Sky Box sets. Brilliant series. Just season 2 and 3 to watch this week

Then Billions series 5 to watch and then start to watch Succession season 1 and 2 in the next week before Rovers are back in action

Get caught up! Third season isn’t long in.

I’ve done 7 episodes of the first season of Succession and I’m really enjoying it.

There’s this to blast through, then onto Dexter. (Another one that I want to see the end of, but I’m not that bothered about fundamentally).

I’ve just watched season 2 of The Tiger King - The story just gets even more bizarre.

[Armchair supporter supremo]

"Mr. Inbetween" on disney+ (which is pretty ironic really!) 

 

You will not be disappointed 👌

One of my favourite football films has made it onto Netflix:

I Believe In Miracles - The story of Brian Clough's European Cup Winning Team.

It's a documentary, told really well through the eyes of the players who (as with every player from the 70s/80s) are all fantastic raconteurs. Very funny and very poignant at times, and a real reminder of just what Clough managed to achieve with a midtable, second division side after ruining his reputation with his Derby exit, Brighton and Leeds.

It certainly wasn't as good as the first season, but when the star of the show is behind bars it's hard to replicate.

I also think that season one came out at a surreal time, so the stupidity of it all made it more watchable.

I finished it last week. Excellent TV.

The Mrs is just watching last nights episode of Succession, shes completely addicted to it, I'll give it a go at some stage.

[Mattyblue]

Just watched it.

Obscenely rich dickheads chatting in rooms largely… but it’s bloody great 😀

[K-Hod]

I’m just finishing the new Dexter, then on to Succession. It’s absolutely brilliant though!

I was getting tired with the repetitive structure and narrative in S3 but the last two episodes were fantastic, the finale especially ranks as the best episode I’ve seen of the show. For me it’s up there with The Wire, Breaking Bad, GoT, and Sopranos. Top, too stuff.

I enjoyed season 2, also tried watching the Bhagavan story which is a Tiger King spinoff. Have to say it left me cold, he’s an evil character but nowhere near as magnetic or interesting as Joe Exotic, who is hardly in the spin-off.

With the blackburn lass in the final of strictly dancing yesterday decided to watch it. She wasn’t even in it as injured unfortunately. That programme is simply unwatchable. Not even the dancing per se but the inappropriate overly sentimental fawning over one another. There are wedding vows that are less soppy than these people. Didn’t go 10 minutes without waterworks. All this from people who will likely never speak again after this series.

Have to say, however, speaking as a deaf man, this series has been one of the most significant events in the Deaf community this century if not ever.

A Deaf woman being unable to hear ANYTHING keeps in time to music and dances so well that she wins a significant nationally televised dancing competition judged by world dancing champions and choreographers.

I've rarely been so happy about something I wasn't personally involved in. It's up there with Rovers winning the league for me. Absolutely elated.

I did Ballroom and Latin American dance back in the day. I couldn’t keep time like that and I could hear the music ! It really was a phenomenal effort.

About to start last episode of season 2 of Witcher. I didn't think could get any better than the first season, but boy was I wrong. This one has been great and well worth the wait.

[Mattyblue]

Strictly ain’t my scene, but amazes me that that whenever I catch a bit, Tess Daly is still there, absolute charisma void… though it still cleans up on the ratings, so what do I know.
