Scully speaking with a British accent, what's not to like.

This.

[hayday]

Indeed. And the English accent is natural for her, having done a large part of her growing up in London. I think she’s lived in London for most of this century too.

After the X-Files ended, she moved back to London to do theatre and married a Brit. And then divorced, and married another Brit. And then divorced again. A couple of kids were born along the way.

I don't at all "strangely pine." There is nothing strange, or subtle, about my pining after Scully.

My point exactly!

Good god, Baby Reindeer is a must watch. Fair warning, though, it is very sensitive material and can be upsetting to watch. But it is an incredibly powerful and important piece of media.

I found it a bit underwhelming at first but interesting enough to keep watching. Then I think from ep. 5 it started digging really deep, and I mean really, really deep. The ending a bit predictable (or maybe just well led to?) but good, nevertheless.

So, I’m on Not Going Out series 8. Does it get good again? They’re really struggling to not feel like a 90s family sitcom at this point, and losing Tim Vine and Katy Wix really hurt the dynamic, as good a replacement as Hugh Dennis is. I love ol’ Desky, but the show needs something a bit more.

[is that my watch]

don't think I got that far lost interest bout three or four in got a bit samey for me...

I re watching sleepy hollow series from bout ten or so years ago ..

watched deception too shame they canned that one after the first season but it had played out the story with not much of anywhere to go to after ....

Oh gawd, I thought that was awful. I say ‘was’ because I only watched it if it happened to be following something else, and that was a few years ago. Contrived, artificial, overwritten, and as annoyingly relentless as a dripping tap. It was like a classic West End farce in a way, but they haven’t been popular since I was a lad.

The whole series run or just after Series 7? Either way, I don’t disagree with your assessment, but I like Lee Mack, so it works well enough for me. Not great, but the jokes come fast enough that the low hit rate still leaves me laughing enough to justify the time spent.

I don’t know what series I’ve seen. It seems like it’s been running for most of the century. Most that I’ve seen would have been earlier rather than later.
