Tried "End of the F***ing world" last night.

Fantastic, I'm halfway through and plan to watch the rest this weekend.

The 2 main characters are played superbly.
This indeed - finished the series today after starting yesterday. Great cast (particularly the leads), very dark humour, and quite refreshing having sub 20 min episodes, very easy to watch. Recommended.
I really enjoyed this too, as above the leads are great actors. Well written too as there is a lot happening in each episode but they didn't feel like they cut bits out to get them down to 20 mins.

Brickle Berry. Agaim, VERY funny.

Has anyone seen any one of these? If so, what do you think?
Didn't know brickleberry was on Netflix only seen it on tele but agree very funny with pretty extreme humour! Mrs Skinny does not agree with it, goes a bit far for her. I love it tho smile

Not heard of the other two tho.

Have you watched archer? S1 to 6 are brilliant
Yes BrickleBerry does indeed crosss the moral line frequently, but its so worth it!! You must watch Big Mouth for sure then.

Havent watched Archer, I will and get back to you for sure! smile

Dough has just appeared on Netflix and I seem to remember a positive review from Mark Kermode.

Facing the closure of his kosher bakery, East Ender Nat Dayan (Jonathan Pryce) takes on Darfur Muslim Ayyash Habimana (Jerome Holder) as his apprentice. But his delight at a sudden sales boom dissipates when he discovers that Ayyash has been using an illegal secret ingredient.

Watched it yesterday afternoon as it was still raining and it was a very pleasant way to pass a couple of hours. Slightly clichéd but enjoyable nevertheless.
7 out of 10 in our household.

Can’t find Brickleberry on UK Netflix unfortunately. I think there’s a lot on the US site that we don’t get.

I loved it, but watching it a second time just doesn’t work, I remember too much from the first time round.

It's certianly one that splits opinion. I forced my way through to the mid point of series 2. Didn't get it at all. Bored me completely.

Cliche for a lot of shows but you have to power through. It’s a slow burn but gets incredible.

I decided to give up with one episode to go. st show, don't care how it finishes, I'm more annoyed I watched most of it. The fly episode was the most boring thing I've ever sat through.

Madness!

The finale is absolutely superb.

Yes. I found it over-hyped and boring. I appreciate that others will enjoy it, but it was so dull I decided to give up.

If something has not got me by the second series it's not going anywhere... overhyped tosh. Just because it's new and different doesn't make it good.

No denying Cranston, but Paul can't act.

Not sure BB could ever be accused of being dull.

Except for the fly episode.
I find it highly unlikely someone could like it enough to watch all but the last episode. I ever give up early (first season or stick with it until the end).

Saying that though. I've just given up on TWD, but that's not reaching the end still 8hrs + of this season.

yes Parks And Recreation is another that can take time to really bond with the characters, but then the only way is up.

P&R is very sadly largely ignored in the UK. Channel Four should put it on at 8pm every Thursday night and it'd be a huge hit.

It's up there with all the very best sitcoms for me. I love it dearly.
