In love with Heartstopper, one of the sweetest, most life affirming and positive series I have watched in like ever.
If only we had TV shows like that when I was growing up. . .

It's not new (2017) but I've been binging on this and really enjoying it.
I usually find stuff like this(rape) difficult to watch but the show itself is very good.
(With some parts being a bit improbable though)

@Spears , I've just finished watching Season One , it's very good.
RE: Armchair Critics - Let's Talk TV - Spears - 08-05-2022
I've just started season 2!
Wasn't sure where it was going after the ending of season1, but there's a few interesting twists to think about.
Really enjoying it

Same! I know Judi Love, Ardal O'Hanlan and Chris Ramsey, didn't know the other 2 ladies, but it's an excellent group! I tend to end up finding new comedians to watch through it
Their youtube channel has all the episodes for free, as well as some of the foreign ones, I think I saw the Norwegian one up there the other day.
RE: Armchair Critics - Let's Talk TV - Zaph - 09-05-2022
Loving the new series of Taskmaster. Ardal O'Hanlon is so much more like Father Dougal in real life than I ever suspected. I'd heard of Bridget Christie beforehand, but didn't really know anything about her. She's absolutely brilliant. Only one I don't like is Sophie Duker. Not a fan of her stand-up and she hasn't done much so far to change my mind about her.
If anyone is ever looking for foreign Taskmasters to watch, both series of the New Zealand one are absolutely brilliant. You can sign up to TVNZ via VPN and watch them on their website.
RE: Armchair Critics - Let's Talk TV - jp liz v1 - 09-05-2022
Thank you @Necro for spoiler tag
I enjoyed Liar series 1
I'm binging on The Pact, twists turns and enjoyable plus Eddie Marsan a quality actor imho

I've not got it, and have for previous series. I wonder if I've accidentally set my account to UK, or something. Been watching on All4, but then there's ads
RE: Armchair Critics - Let's Talk TV - Necro - 09-05-2022
Actually finished The Pact there myself last night. Decent watch.
Currently half way through season 1 of The Wilds on Amazon Prime and very much enjoying it so far.
RE: Armchair Critics - Let's Talk TV - Zaph - 09-05-2022
I think rather than Youtube they're using their own site, Taskmaster.tv, for the new series. But looking at that it just links to All4 anyway.

I think she's great at the tasks but seemed a little reserved in studio initially.
I agree about Ardal just being an older Dougal, it's slightly terrifying!
I liked Judi to start but her shtick of just being pissed off by it all is wearing a little thin.
Bridget and Chris are both brilliant. Chris is obviously having a great time, hard not to like that

It's based on a graphic novel of the same name and it's a coming-of-age love story of two teenage boys.

Only ever watched a few episodes of the first season, never continued. Not sure why as it was pretty good.
The new season seems to be getting rave reviews, I may go and watch it from the beginning at some point.

It has given Kate Bush's song Running up that Hill a new fan base and chart hit
I watched series 1 and meant to go back but didn't, seems to be Netflix biggest hit in viewers

We've watched all seasons (multiple times here) and binged on season 4 the weekend it came out.
Loved the twist that comes out in this season. Can't wait for the second part in July ..
