We need Sam Pang and Glenn Robbins on it next year. Also surprised Angie Kent’s not on it. She’s been on every other show
There's been more than one season?
Yeah this is Season 2. Big Dell was on it last year

So I got to the end of Schitt’s Creek. And I’m sad, but it was probably the correct call ending it there. Didn’t outstay the welcome.

Fun fact about Schitts Creek. They spent a significant amount of their budget, almost 80%, on wardrobe.

Dan Levy made a conscious decision to do this, because he felt fans passionate about fashion would be able to pick out whether the characters were wearing knock offs

You need to go back to it. It's awesome.

I reckon the Puppet is Sam Moran, the guy who replaced the Yellow Wiggle. The clue about his best friend being over 1,000 years old - His wife played Dorothy

Had no idea who that chick was tonight... i even watch a bit of that show she was apparently in. No idea.
Channel 7 must be pretty pissed that the judges are pitching a **** shut out at this point

Season 2 of The Boys has kicked off on Amazon with first 3 episodes landing on Friday. Picks up right where it left off and things start cranking up a notch. Great viewing and looking forward to the rest.

I just watched "The Social Dilemma" on Netflix.

It is sort of scary. Over dramatised? Perhaps. Perhaps not.

It certainly helps explain why extremist groups like antivaxers and even people like flat earthers get such a hold.

Look the movie is fine. On some level it's just good to see the story up on the big screen.

Seven Emmy Awards for Schitt's Creek... they've won every award so far, an hour in. Great to see, I loved the show. Nine all up, given the minor categories announced beforehand.

My day was made when I heard that today. I loved the show also. Never felt proud of a show being successful as much as this one

I watched the first 5 episodes over the weekend, I'm hooked.
A fair bit was revealed in the last episode I watched.
I think the way the series closes off will have a large bearing on whether or not
the 2nd series as a whole is perfectly splendid.

Dammit! I knew I got it wrong when I sent it. Just didn’t read right haha.

Think Ep 5 opened the story up, Ep 6 makes it a whole lot clearer

I thought last season was **** great, but for the most part the seasons have not been that interesting and it's been a real struggle to drink and pay attention to for the most part.. i drink heavily and keeping track of who's who in the zoo is also a struggle at times

Im not sad to see it go if im honest.

I think what’s out people off was Haunting of Hill House was pretty scary, so they assumed this would be similar. I liked it, but didn’t find it scary. I enjoy looking for the hidden ghosts in the scenes.

Rumour has it Season 3 might be Haunting of Overlook Hotel

Yeah I recommend it. It’s a horror as well. No cheap jump scares. All in all, I found it more disturbing/unsettling than scary

Saw the first episode of The Haunting of Hill House. Nothing like I expected when I decided not to watch it when it first came out. It’s very good.
