Finally finished Season Three of Agents of SHIELD, it was pretty good - even though there are so many episodes I don't think there are too many non-events in it.

Also finished the second series of Oh Cook! on Prime. Everything James May does is brilliant.

We tried Puzzling on C5 with Lucy Worsley. It's.. not good. It feels like a Poundland Only Connect, with Lucy specifically trying to be VCM. It especially doesn't work when in Only Connect VCM "knows" all the answers whereas LW has to "ask the computer". It feels less natural.

Puzzling was so bad. I couldn't finish one episode and I love quiz shows like that. The flow was terrible. I think they must be cutting out a lot of thinking time, they'd just give you the question and immediately cut to the team answering it without giving you any time to think about it yourself.

Only Connect is good because they keep all that discussion and thinking time in and let you listen in. So maybe you don't know that the random name was a cardinal, but you hear them mention it and you know the next guy is a giant and suddenly you're shouting "American Football teams" at the TV.
