If nothing else it'll make a decent bit of filler before something better like Firefly Season 2 comes out!

You sound like a hoopy frood that knows where his towel is

Ahh, old hanging balls, gotchya xD

Yeah the medium of text can be tricky to convey meaning sometimes, I'm a pretty sarcastic person (gotta love using humour to cope with every situation, so healthy...) with a very deadpan kinda delivery on a lot of it, so I often find myself wondering if my intent came across well over text. Tricky indeed.

Anyway you're cool, and thanks for taking the time to reply so thoughtfully :-)

Now, I'm going to go back to being drenched in a cold sweat! It seems that's today's COVID symptom roulette wheel choice! 💦☉_☉💦

This is such a David thing to say, ho ho, you japester!

Good point, it's hard to build up a media presence and an audience when you're such a short little one and done thing.

So lovely though :-) I might try to get my friends to watch it with me this spooky season

Oh yeah, forgot about those! I enjoyed the boys and invincible a lot, I never got around to watching wheel of time, I will eventually, but I've heard nothing particularly good (or that it's middling at best) so I've shoved it to the back of my to watch list.

Oooh so there's actually much more to it than meets the eye! Damn. Thanks for taking the time to explain :-)

I bet this information will be mixed with my COVID fever dreams and is going to remain lodged in my brain as core knowledge somehow forever :P

Bangers and splash is a good guess! I suppose we may never know 😁

I know it's just me being thick, but what's the play on words here? Sausage and mash on a flood.... Bangers and mash on a wet motorway....

I'm missing the gag xD

That show was great, I know it wasn't exactly the next Gravity Falls or whatever but did it not have at least a decent pile of fans?

Given how good it was, I can only imagine it's because most people don't know it exists.

American Gods, Rings of Power, Good Omens, the Expanse, Man in the high castle, the Last of us, etc etc.

It's not always as good of a selection as other services, but it's got a fair few gems on there and a good amount of back catalogue films and tv shows that are fab :-)

And the fact that they collect so much stuff that would otherwise not be available at all (usually because its only on some random foreign streaming service and refuses to work with netflix) is where they really shine.

That said, I immediately stopped using it when they brought adverts in to the paid subscription. I'm not paying to watch adverts, sorry, no.

Check out Ludwig on iPlayer it's a good watch! David Mitchell in some light, witty modern day Poirot detectiveing.
