Need some time to let the new Black Mirror settle but my first thoughts were wow that was absolutely amazing, the way they use the format is brilliant and I was creeped out the entire time. One of the best they’ve done, felt truly groundbreaking on that kind of medium.

It was interesting enough but far from their best.

First episode of Deutschland '83 was the tits. Just finished the second season and it might have topped the first, which was incredible. One if my favourite shows of the last five years hands down.

Finished Sunny season 13 and hopefully that'll be that for them because it all felt very forced and dated, even moreso than 12. Feels like almost all of the laughs were throwbacks from previous seasons, jokes they were reusing etc

'You' on Netflix was pretty good.

I think the characterisation of Mac is one of the best representation of gay characters in TV, which is mad considering the show he’s on.
Obviously you can point to the absurdity of the exercise bike and the Dennis doll and the fact that the other characters talk about his sexuality all the time. But I genuinely forgot he was actually openly gay until episode 5 of season 13 when he just casually drops it into conversation.

And I finished the season earlier on and that finale blew me away which I never thought I’d say about Always Sunny. When it showed Mac against nothing but a spot light I was expecting something funny and sat there chuckling for a few seconds waiting for the punchline and it just never came. A show like this shouldn’t be allowed to come up with something as beautiful as this.

Time's Up for The Gang honestly might be one of their best ever episodes. The clip show episode was weird and fun and the bathroom and car episodes were very classic Sunny.
Probably one of the weaker seasons they've done but I don't want them to stop just yet

Agree on that, think they were a little heavier on the social commentary stuff that they usually do and it was a little bit ‘fluffier’ than usual (the escape room episode ending with everyone praising Dee, the super bowl episode with Mac congratulating Charlie especially) but it had some of its darkest moments too, mostly in the Charlie episode.
Definitely missed Dennis at times though. I think he’s become a bit of a caricature in recent seasons, his psychopathy has been ramped up a bit to the extent that they can’t have the more grounded, emotional moments like they had at the end of this season. But then he’s also important for when they do go off the rails like his password locked sex dungeon. I think if Glenn can’t commit himself to a full season then 14 should be it. Can’t blame any of them for branching out now, the show has been on for so long and is still churning out quality at a rate we’ve never really seen before. And Rob needs to go back to just living like a normal human being. Can’t stress enough the work load he has put into his own body to further Mac as a character is insane.

It's definitely better than Parks and Rec and that's not even a slight to Parks (which is fantastic), it's just that The Office is near perfect TV at times.
