I’ve been reading about Succession on this board for a long time but I’ve never watched it before tonight.
I just finished the pilot and I could never have imagined that Cousin Greg would ever live up to the hype, but oh boy.

You'll pick up all the nuances and such, really brilliant comedy.

Just binged the first season of Fleabag. Really terrific stuff, and I was blown away by the finale.

Black Lady Sketch Show is good. Danny's House is good.

Back on British Bakeoff after not watching since the host and judge turnover. Pru is fine, but hasn't made a big impression on me yet - you can feel Mary Berry's absence. However I like the new hosts better than the old ones, who were an acquired taste for me.

I liked the old hosts so much, and love Noel Fielding, but Sandy is super boring to me.
New season starts tomorrow! Only good use for Reddit.

We were discussing who the worst character is (worst as in, who is the biggest POS), but it's so difficult to decide. I'd say my top contenders are Logan, Tom, and Kendall. Maybe Connor too? They're all the worst. On the other hand cousin Greg certainly has the most redeemable qualities, but that's mostly just a byproduct of having the least amount of money. Gotta be Logan. He has no conscience whatsoever, had the most negative impact on the world, and will gladly fuck over anyone to keep in power. Kendall is obviously a bad person but he's one of the only characters to show he has some sort of conscience, even if he doesn't have much of one Tom just seems too dumb and naive to be the worst but he's pretty bad too, specially after this most recent episode This show is great

I was under the impression US/Netflix is on S9 but are missing the first two seasons, so for some reason US S1 is UK S3?

I don't know how to watch British television, so I'm cool with the "it's new to me" approach.

Can't get behind watching GBBO without Mary, Mel, and Sue. Is it really worth it?

I know this makes me an old man, but I really enjoyed Fake or Fortune on Netflix. I am not an knowledgeable in art by any measure, and nor do I especially go out of my way to visit art galleries, but I found it really interesting the efforts the hosts (and background researchers etc) go to to determine the authenticity of some of this art. Strangely addictive. There's only one season and I know there are multiple out there, so I'm hoping Netflix put more up.

I enjoyed Mel and Sue, but the show hasn't really skipped a beat with the new hosts. Mary Berry was GOAT and can never be replaced.
Still fun to watch. There's been some fun chefs involved.
"Oh my god, pheasants!"
Also just checked and according to Wikipedia series 9 is the most recent on Netflix. So we'll be getting the new series? I have no idea how this works. I've definitely already seen series 9.

Can't get behind watching GBBO without Mary, Mel, and Sue. Is it really worth it? If you're missing Sue, you might try The Supersizers. I forget where it's streaming but Sue and another guy "go back in time" and eat the typical diet of different eras. It's pretty interesting - WWII rationing, Restoration (when water was mostly contaminated so people only drank beer) etc.

I'll try and find this on a streaming service when I get home tonight...
