Watched anything good lately?

Let’s get real, for a show that famously picks whatever side they’ll get the most jokes out of for the subject of the week, were we expecting much else..?
 
I've just caught up on "Atomic People" on BBC4.
This is not a program you can duel-screen (almost 100% subtitled for a start).

I've heard / read many personal testimonies from the Hibakusha over the years. Horrifying, yet morbidly fascinating.

But a solid hour and a half of it in a row? And they do NOT hold back.

...
I'm... I'm speechless.
.... I, of all people, am speechless....
 
Mandy. The most I've laughed out loud at TV program in a long while. The last two episodes especially; the taxi sequence absolutely slayed me and the music video parody is perfect. Everything Diane Morgan does is incredible.
 
The King Of The Hill revival on Disney+

Used to be a mainstay of Saturdays watching The Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, and KoTH.

Made a great decision in time jumping the series, Hank and Peggy Hill are returning from working in Saudi Arabia, Bobby now runs a restaurant.
 
Wednesday: Season 2
With the second season of Wednesday now having been released in full on Netflix, I watched the final four episodes today. And I have to say, I think this was another really strong instalment; season 2 is a strong follow up to the excellent first season! I’ll admit I wasn’t sure initially, as they seemed to introduce quite a few different subplots, but it did all come together and make sense in the end and lead to a very satisfying conclusion! Jenna Ortega once again provides a really strong performance as the namesake character, and there are some fun new character additions for the season as well, including a new principal played by Steve Buscemi and a new Nevermore student played by Evie Templeton. I wasn’t sure how they’d follow up the first season, but I once again found the plot really gripping, and there were certainly a good few surprises. I, for one, definitely enjoyed it and would certainly recommend it; I hope there is a season 3!
