Boojum Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 I think Dead Pixels is OK. It's not great, certainly not up there with the best sitcoms ever or owt like that, but as a sad gamer geek it amuses me and it's pretty much the only comedy that has got close to amusing me recently (apart from Taskmaster, that's IMHO the funniest thing that's been on for ages, just the utter joyous silliness of it, every episode has made me proper laugh out loud at least a couple of times and often more, and that's more than I can say for anything else on telly for the past few years). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Degsy Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Looks like I'll have to seek out The Expanse somewhere else then then if it's on Amazon I generally don't mind paying for subscriptions but I'm sure Jeff Bezos doesn't really need my cash 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simple Jack Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 The Expanse is has been a huge lockdown beneficiary. Great to see it getting the attention it deserves. I hope any increase in budget and executive interest does not ruin the quality, as so often happens. If Brannon "kiss of death" Braga gets hired, you just know it's shark jump city. Shame TE couldn't do belters properly; I guess there aren't enough gangling, big headed, 7'+ actors, so punky hair and tats will have to do. TE was the first TV show to regularly use cinematic zero gee effects. The show's biggest "reality" fail is low gee, which is, counterintuitively, much harder to simulate. If the show stays true to it's real physics ethos this is something they will work on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then if you've not had a free trial for a while you can probably get one (just cancel your payment details before the free trial ends), I've had at least 3 free trials Last one was over Christmas and so I'm not eligible for another one yet, but they're doing a week for 99p, which I got just to binge watch The Expanse, I'll cancel it before it goes into the monthly payment. Give the first episode a watch for free then see if you can be bothered with whatever offer you get (free trial or 99p for a week, or whatever), binge watch it in that time then cancel it before the actual monthly membership kicks in. I just can't be arsed pissing around with Yarr stuff for the sake of 99p The original Channel 4 drama series Utopia is also on Amazon Prime and is well worth a watch/re-watch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple Jack Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 @Degsy Jeff Bezos did pick up TE after it was axed by Scyfy - a shrewd investment as it turns out! I could watch on Amazon, but I don't because the verification system is a pain in the arse, and I don't much care for the UI. The fact that the "informal sector" is superior to official portals says a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that the "informal sector" is superior to official portals says a lot. Dunno man. I'm watching Amazon Prime on a Roku box I bought years ago (my TV isn't a 'smart' TV, cos when I bought it I could either get a 'smart' TV or a non-smart one with a bigger screen and higher definition for the same price) and it's probably the best app on that. Dunno about 'informal sector' stuff really, other than KODI, and that's a proper pain in the arse, I use it for live footy that's not on BT Sport (cos I get that free), but movies and TV and stuff it's just a proper pain in the arse, I'd rather pay 99p for a week of not having to piss about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rex Mundi Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I apologise from the start... yes this is TV, but old stuff on youtube... but it's a TV series from the past I'm watching at the moment... just for distraction... honest... This is back to 1977, so back then I was not in UK, I was in (then) West Germany, army (BAOR), but we had UK TV available to us in the NAAFI TV room, so I do recall this series... BUT...this one I link to, it has Humphrey Littleton on it!!! My hero from ISIHAC, on a daytime TV gameshow... I am shocked... to me he IS ISIHAC, the only thing on BBC I have total respect for But honestly, for me to stoop this low to watch this .... I'm ashamed... I'm watching Terry Wogan FFS!!! I look forward to the piss take.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
