***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD***

Taskmaster on Dave is very good fun.

A panel show of sorts where the contestants have to perform various tasks (get a cat out of a tree, make a nursery rhyme music video, get this boulder as far away as possible, etc) to win points. It doesn't take itself too seriously but at the same time it has a structure which makes following the scores quite interesting.

Quite a few genuine laugh out loud moments so well worth a look I think.

A real guilty pleasure. I love Greg's sense of mischief and desire to ridicule the contestants at every possible opportunity.

The highlight of the series.......... potato-gate with Joe Wilkinson in the 'put the potato in the hole' challenge.

The look of genuine pride on his face was priceless.

I particularly enjoyed the delight on Greg's face as he replayed the infringement over and over again until Joe realised.

Had a recommendation for Stranger Things on Netflix.  Totally ruined Sunday by watching it, I knew 2 episodes in I hated it and it was pants but I am stubborn and watched.

I am halfway through and enjoying the "Amazon Original Series All or Nothing: A Season with the Arizona Cardinals" on Amazon Prime.

All or Nothing is the first series to take viewers inside the locker room, on the sidelines, and off the field for an unprecedented look inside an NFL franchise’s complete season. Season one picks up with the Arizona Cardinals following the season-ending injury to quarterback Carson Palmer in the 2014 season.

If you are a NFL fan this is a must see.

Love the show, love the concept.

Just started to re-watch Narcos in preparation for season 2 starting in a few weeks.

I'd highly recommend it in case you missed anything first time round. Episode one is pretty amazing when you know what's coming further down the line.

Yeah I'm enjoying this too. I know there's some big salaries out there but it must be nice for that defensive guy who's on $100k bonus per sack getting 8 in a game.

Thanks for the heads up on this.  Watched the first one last night and found it very interesting viewing.

I don't have much empathy for the guys featured so far, as it's very obvious why they're falling short academically.  Interesting that LeGarrette Blount is one of the guys who went through the system previously.

Very grateful for the subtitles in places though.  Those accents are strong!

Show is half Matlock, half Prisoner Cell Block H. I like the Matlock stuff best.
