Which 'TV box set' are you currently watching?

And Nicolas Lyndhurst is in Frasier.

Still won't watch it. Same for Ted Lasso, Mrs Maisel. They had their run and they ended, some better than others. If they want to do a spin-off and try something different then i'd consider it but i've no interest in getting the band back together.

Is Ted Lasso any good? Planning to give it a try

It was a nice bit of light relief during the covid era to begin with then it disappeared fully up its own arse imo. The most recent season was interminable.

Pretty much as socko puts it. It's got an ethos, a vibe and it stays true to that. Ted is a beautiful character, but covid certainly allowed for that to really hit. He smiles through adversity. Not in a Judy Garland way, because if you didn't you'd cry but because life is, actually, beautiful. It's warmed over mindfulness - can't change the past, the future hasn't happened, so deal with the present and the present, this exact moment, is usually pretty good.

Now, that does have a capacity to escape up its own arse but it's 30 odd half hour episodes. Most of them funny and pleasant.

Mrs Maisel is better. That and Hacks. Both basically telling Joan Rivers' story.
