For some reason my wife wanted to watch the Meghan Markle thing, I’m not even sure what kind of show it is but it’s hilariously bad. Only seen the first episode but it’s two adults being amazed at primary school arts and crafts. Just odd.
I’m half convinced it’s a parody of itself.
The Guardian were rather damning in their review of it.I’m half convinced it’s a parody of itself.

Snatch is becoming a series? Brilliant film, Ritchie's best by far IMO, but can't help thinking the series will just plunder any brilliance and we'll end up with something at best mediocre.

I'm amazed anyone would watch that drivel, but to some people (mostly Americans) anything anti-British establishment is de rigueur. Hence Netfilx production I'd imagine.

It's not becoming a series, it was made 7 years ago. Brace yourself for Rupert GrintSnatch is becoming a series? Brilliant film, Ritchie's best by far IMO, but can't help thinking the series will just plunder any brilliance and we'll end up with something at best mediocre.

SNATCH - The Series
Didn't even know this was in the pipeline - I'm a few episodes in - good cast, plenty of familiar faces... but... it just seems like Skins, but a bit naughty.
Never like these spin-off type of things (although The Gentleman seemed to work rather well).
I watched it when it was on TV (the strip club was filmed inside Len Goodmans ballroom which I used to go past in the way to school every day, when filming they changed the signs outside I got rather excitedDidn't even know this was in the pipeline - I'm a few episodes in - good cast, plenty of familiar faces... but... it just seems like Skins, but a bit naughty.

)It's a poor imitation of the film but at the time it was watchable. I agree The Gentleman does it better now.

I tried this but couldn't get on with it. I like The Gentlemen series but the difference between the two is Guy Ritchie and it was obvious in the pacing.Didn't even know this was in the pipeline - I'm a few episodes in - good cast, plenty of familiar faces... but... it just seems like Skins, but a bit naughty.

An update on Resident Alien.
The first five episodes set up a great sitcom setting.......which is then discarded, but most of the rest of the season is still highly entertaining and with a plot.
S2 meanders along so far with no plot and no sitcom setting and few laughs. Netflix also only seems to have S1 & S2 of a 4 season show.

It started off really well but for me went downhill after s2 and hasn’t aged well. The first five episodes set up a great sitcom setting.......which is then discarded, but most of the rest of the season is still highly entertaining and with a plot.

Your experience though mirrors mine
I don't think I ever went back to it after s2
Certainly never finished it
It lost something, I felt it went from it's roots to tackle bigger and bigger things that were just not funny, and could never get back it's charm
