That’s interesting about Normal People, Toast. I’ve given it as swerve as I thought the book was so-so.

Has anyone watched McMillions on Prime? It’s next on my list.

I haven't read the book but have seen LOADS of things about how faithful to the book Normal People is, so I'm surprised by that Toast!

We've been watching ER from the start too (we started at least a year ago mind you!), we're on S7 now I think. I think I phased out around S 10 so it'll be interesting to see how I feel about it this time.

I've not read NP but I read her other one and couldn't see what all the fuss was about. I really disliked the main characters.

Entitled Conversations something something something? I loathed that. :))

It wasn't so much that it wasn't faithful to the book, but there was something specific that was different. The article will explain better than I can :)

UTTERLY. Frolicking around on the sand in the south of France and then being emo in central Dublin. I thought it was cliché and crap.

Upload, an Amazon own brand effort. I binged it in one - brainless fluff, derivative, great quarantine watch :))

Beastie Boys Story (on Apple TV+) was great.

Bosch was brilliant as usual. I think me and Cerise are the only ones who watch it.

I binged Never Have I Ever over last night and this morning. It kind of reminds me of Awkward to a certain extent, I really enjoyed it.

Honestly it's so good. Zirk and I find ourselves talking about it seriously like they are real people. :lol:

I really didn't like Normal People so will be annoyed by the TV version?

I've never read the book but I am 9 episodes in and can't stop thinking about it. I'm desperate for this evening so I can finish it. My friends who have read the book said to not bother with it and just watch the TV series instead.

I was really sad when it was over.
