'Stick Pins in their Eyes', is Matthew Kelly hosting that one too?

I'm still watching The Deuce.
Its pretty good, a bit slow and I"ve seen far too much of Maggie Gyllengall's tiny flappy dugs and Vera Duckworth wig than I would ever want to, but still pretty good

Just watched the pilot, and about to start the series proper.

When I heard it was set in the early days of the porn industry, I thought they meant the Victorian era, and was expecting something like The Knick, which I enjoyed.

Still think that would have been more interesting.

Has anyone mentioned the series "Gotham"? Binge watching it on Netflix, great show, and robin lord Taylor's penguin is just awesome!

If we're being honest then the early days of porn would be Ugg drawing dicks and fannies on a cave wall with a burnt stick.
And I bet there was so much bush that it made the 70s look like today.

It's the Fall (Autumn) season in the States now, so remember to watch all of the below if you're a fan. All have started now.

Mr Robot Season 3
Strangers Things 2
The Walking Dead Season 8

Finished The Deuce today. So grim but I found it compelling.

Watched a few episodes of the new series of Stranger Things. Not really bothered to finish it.

Talksport is dark and full of errors.

Is the walking dead still 40 minutes of people talking about their feelings with a zombie killing spree at the end?
I stuck with it after the infamous farm house season, but it just got more and more ridiculous after that for me, gave up halfway through season 5 I think.

You lot will probably hate it but I'm kind of addicted to Forged in Fire (History Channel), 4 bearded weirdos forge old weapons and then test them. Gangland Undercover is quite good too, it's a tv series/ real-life events of plod and a bloke infiltrating a motorcycle gang.

The Deuce is great, isnt it. I wouldnt say grim though, gritty maybe. Definitely compelling. I'm only 6 episodes in but I'm glad that Maggie Gyllenhaal has finally moved past the lingering self loathing looks in the mirror with fag in mouth that seemed to happen every 5 minutes.



You should have stuck with Stranger Things if just to see the now infamous clusterfuck that is episode 7. Truly a "what the fuck is this shit?" moment.
Remember that really funny Hitler/Downfall vid of 'Ronnie Irani gets into the Talksport editing suite' on Youtube?
Well they must have let Irani all over that episode, script, editing, design, direction, everything.

Apart from that it wasnt bad, nowhere near as good as the first series and I fear series 3 will be a disaster.
Someone on reddit said of this series that they would maybe give it a 'B' but episode 7 drags it down to a 'C' or 'C-'.

I haven't seen it myself, but I've heard very good things about 'Mindhunter'.
