The Mock Turtle

I watched the first few episodes but didn't laugh as much as I hoped to.

I'm watching season 3 of The Crown, it's like they've all had bitter personality transplants since season 2. Not cool.

I really liked Shrill. Just watched S2.

I've finished S2 Sex Education. I loved it so much.

Has anyone watched The Messiah?

I’ve just started this, it’s excellent so far!

I am bingeing Better Things on iPlayer. It’s so good.

I have been enjoying AJ and the Queen, its pretty charming and funny. Also started Queen Sono which is so cool to see Jo'burg and Africa. Lots of swearing though.

I finally watched Cheer and was amazed to find how anxious I could be about a cheerleading routine. I was on the edge of my seat at Daytona, mouthing the music and fiercely "encouraging" them by waving my arms in a rough approximation of what was supposed to be next, like an over-involved pageant mother. It was excellent.

Cheer is great isn't it. It's real heart in mouth stuff.

Ages after everyone else but we watched Unbelievable last week, and it was SO good. Hard to watch but the three female leads were brilliant!

We watched that relatively recently too, it was astounding and absolutely gripping. We watched 3 back to back one night and stayed up way too late, but could not stop.

I watched that last week too, it was brilliant.

I'm now on Don't F**k with cats which is horrific but compelling

Oh, good luck with that Chicky!

I absolutely love Unbelievable. It was so much better than I thought it would be.

I thought it would thoroughly depress me, but, first episode aside, the strength and courage of the main characters was actually quite uplifting. And I also think that the first episode was very good for Mr G to see, as while he knew in theory what rape victims have to go through afterwards, seeing it all play out really brought it home.

I’ve been bingeing Modern Family, I’ve just finished season 1 (24 episodes). It’s remarkably quick to eat your way through it as each episode is only about 22 minutes long, I think I only started it on Friday. This is on Sky Box Sets though, I don’t know if it’s on streaming services.

I’ve also just bought Disney+ for the pre-release price of £49.99 (compared to £5.99/month) as I think it might be useful in the coming months.

I think the first two episodes should be mandatory viewing for police officers involved with investigating/supporting victims.

Yes. The contrast is extreme.

Yeah, I think J found it quite enlightening.

I didn't know in advance that Marie had been in care, and if I had, I probably wouldn't have watched it, as it would have been something of a busmans holiday for me. However, I am really glad that I did although it just reinforced my view on how little support there is for kids who leave care (I was FURIOUS with the foster mothers )

Feel Good (All 4) is worth catching.

I'm watching it now, thanks . I don't know if it is hysteria, but I have LOLed several times, and I am just on episode 2.

Life in Pieces is moderately amusing in a gentle stress-free way.

We’ve finished S2 of sex education and it was AMAZING. 10/10.
