Whenever I remember the video of Geraldine (Dawn French) saying Alice died from cancer and suddenly, breaking down in tears (Dawn and Geraldine as they were mourning the character and the actress), I get a bit emotional, because as nutty, hilarious, dumb as Alice was, she was also a gentle person, a innocent at heart who never stopped being 12, who believed in the Easter Bunny and thought Uncle Bulgaria was gay and was a huge fan of the Teletubbies.

I never stop laughing at Alice's scenes but as funny as Alice was, I also wanted to be her friend. And Emma Chambers was phenomenal. She should have won every award in the business.

I still can't believe she died so young but I'm glad she left us this legacy. Alice Tinker will never be forgotten.

I was admittedly skeptical when I saw that there was going to be a spin-off of Guy Ritchie's 2019 The Gentlemen. The movie was really good, one of Ritchie's best imo, but at first glance it kinda seemed like a cash grab as the narrative seemed pretty self-contained to me. I still decided to give it a shot because I do like the actors involved and the reviews were solid.

Definitely glad to be wrong about my initial impressions on the show because it's a damn good time. It perfectly captures the tone and vibe of the movie, as well as just really feeling like a story only Guy Ritchie would come up with - a cast of quirky British criminal underworld characters, fast and witty banter, slick direction and camerawork, and just a unique sense of style.

In some ways it almost felt like Breaking Bad meets Guy Ritchie, with the Duke being a relatively normal dude (albeit very handsome and rich, and an Army-trained badass lol) getting pulled into the criminal world and ending up being surprisingly adept at navigating it. It's dressed up in the aforementioned Guy Ritchie stylistic trappings and the combination makes for a fun, fast-paced and addictive watch.

I was impressed with Theo James on The White Lotus and how well he played a sleazy, sexist rich techbro, and he's just as good here, except playing a completely different character. Honestly, this show convinced me that he would make a damn good James Bond - he has the suave charisma and a level of grit and edge to pull it off.

The side characters are great too. Kaya Scodelario kills it as Susie Glass, and Vinnie Jones and Ray Winstone are as gruffly badass and commanding as you'd expect them to be. Giancarlo plays...a Giancarlo character lol but it's always nice to have him on screen.

Admittedly the middle part of the show drags a little bit - the beginning and the ending are the strongest - but the dialogue, style and performances always keep it entertaining.

Really looking forward to a second season now.

Prison Break.

I absolutely loved that show when it came out. I actually got into kind of late so bought the DVDs. It was the first show I binge watched way back in 2009ish. Getting up to change the DVDs every few hours.

I rewatched it a bunch and the more I watch it the more I realized it devolved into just nonsense. The first couple season is some of the best TV ever, especially season 1. As the show went on the story got ridiculously convoluted and every scene had one character pointing a gun at another in some sort of double cross.

Season 5 sucked the way they retconned the ending. No desire for a season 6. I don’t think it’ll ever happen as much as fans clamor for it, and Dominic Purcell looks for attention on Instagram.

Let the show go.

For example, I mean a sort of unique formula, for me it was the good place, it was extremely creative, unique and explored interesting concepts all whilst being branded as a comedy and it worked! Could also be how Black Mirror is an anthology series or just a unique concept that is quite unexplored etc. Just interested and also is a good way to get recommendations because I like shows that are original and different. (try not to spoil as best as you can)

Edit - I would like to add another example I thought of, late night with the devil is an extremely cool unique way of doing a horror film. Watch it! And thanks for all your replies

It's almost mandatory and repetitive it's borderline boring, heck Simpsons did a whole episode based around and parodying this last year.

I was watching the finale of everybody loves raymond and I realized it just ended with everybody having dinner. Big bang theory did the same. The last shot is them doing what they normally did.

Nobody died, or was moving away, no huge changes etc.

Fresh prince of Belair somehow crammed the house being sold, Carlton going to Princeton, hilary going to Atlanta, everybody else moving to new york and will be the only one with nothing going on. It's almost the perfect example of overused of this idea.

Hi.

Hope you’re doing well.

Like, when Shelley Long returned to Cheers as Diane Chambers for the series finale and tried to reignite her relationship with Sam, I thought she got back into her character’s groove and it was one of the best closure’s I’ve seen to a show, to both Sam/Diane and the show in general.

What are other examples of this that you like where an actor left a show but came back for a one-off or as a series regular again?

Did anyone else not see the end of academy awards?! Before they announced the winner I got an error code and a message the live show was over.

I was surprised when I noticed how many episodes are due for season 1. Will more shows with a low production budget squeak a couple of extra eps per?

I don't mind the shorter seasons, but I wouldn't mind if there a few more high quality shows that went 15 or more.
