Hmmm, I’m not sure about this one Bear!

I know. Sounds stupid. I thought so before I watched it. Loved it. But you must also love bizarre. Some scenes of a female child minder, who's actually a retired wizard, protecting children she's responsible for, by chasing out monsters in the basement and under the bed, is hilarious. Real tongue in cheek fantasy.

If you want bizarre, try the two episode fantasy on Netflix called Hogfather. I've seen it before and have it on DVD. Its set on a disc world supported by four elephants atop a giant tortoise. Yes I know its an old Earth myth but in this world they have a kind of Christmas with a Santa called Hogfather (because he looks like a hog). The evil spirits try to destroy the celebration by sending assassins to get rid of Hogfather and steal all the tooth fairy teeth to stop children believing. I know sounds like a kids story. But its not. Some of the characters are absolute fun, despite being nasty pieces of work. Based on a story by Terry Pratchett, a famed British fantasy author. Bizarre and fun.
Looooove Terry Pratchett, read all of his 'discworld' books.

quite sure @Dan is a fan as well.

His webpage has the same pic that @Dion Johnson has for his avatar!

His style definitely represents his influences, you can really see the ideas of Sanderson and Jordan playing out in the books. I am excited to start Hierarchy soon but have to finish my current reads

First Law, I am almost done with book 2, holds up its quite good and fairly close to the "Wolf of the North" series which was a great series with a **** ending.

I then have the latest book in the Bobbiverse to read which are a great fun series, this should see me to the release of the Stormlight Archive next book and that should be a good 2 months of reading for just that book.

A heap of good stuff out there right now

Still Game

Life and times and trials and tribulations of two old farts, and their friends living in Craiglang, Scotland.

A comedy, with touching moments and situations that maybe old farts in here can relate too.

Plus it's always amusing to hear swearing in a Scottish accent.

Absolutely fantastic series, so much so that I bought the box set a few years ago (when dvd's were still a thing)

I've binge-watched it over the last week or so.

Watched the finale about 2 hours ago.

A few other UK comedies which I would recommend. Forgive me if you already know about them as I'm not sure which countries they have been available in.
Phoenix Nights, Peter Kay at his best.
The Royle Family
Detectorists
Friday Night Dinner
Early Doors. My personal favourite. Set in a local Manchester pub where not much happens.Great characters, excellently observed some real touching moments and yet hardly anyone has heard of it. Only 2 series ever made.
