Now THAT is a strong end to an episode :clap:

FEUD: 2x07 Beautiful Babe

Good lord this episode was tedious. The season started out so strong but they clearly had too many episodes and not enough story given how it's devolved into nonsense dream sequences. A shame.

Difficult People

This show is perfect. Utterly hilarious. Julie and Billy are exactly the right amount of annoyed at everything. The references are sublime and are even funnier now some years on.

Dark Waters

As compelling as it is important. We need more movies like this. And more people need to see them.

RuPaul's Drag Race: 7x07 Snatch Game

Honestly, this is the best Snatch Game of the first 12 seasons. At least four good impressions when we usually get only get 1, or 2 at the absolute most. Brava.

True History of the Kelly Gang

Not remotely compelling. Impossible to care about the fate of any of the characters. Way too long. Nudity and foul language aplenty are a transparent attempt to appear edgy. Much of the dialogue seems to think it's so deep and so profound, but it's utter nonsense. The final third in particular enters silly video game territory removing any semblance of investment in the story that somehow could have scraped through.

Don't F**k with Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer

One of the best true crime docs, in large part because it's paced so well, and was an entirely appropriate 3 episodes, not the bloated drawn out 10 (or more).

Avenue 5

Wow. This is deeply unfunny. When terrible writing happens to great casts... with HBO money... Just astonishingly bad.

The Trial of Christine Keeler

Utterly bored me to death.

Dublin Murders

0 stars. This is FICTION. Someone came up with this warped, utterly absurd story, and didn't have the DECENCY to come up with any kind of resolution for (almost) any of the loose ends they invented? Sloppy garbage. A total waste of 8 hours. And, I mean, DOPPELGÄNGERS? This isn't crime. This is just really poor FANTASY.

Mr. Robot: 4x04 404 Not Found

Only my least favourite episode of this show ever. Was this even Mr. Robot? Or did I accidentally watch This Is Us?

Hustlers

It's good, it's fine, I enjoyed it. But I do think it's been grossly overhyped. And, I mean, Oscar buzz for J.Lo? Let's all just call down a bit, shall we?

On Becoming a God in Central Florida

This is easily one of the most interesting and original shows I've seen in a long time. Kirsten Dunst is brilliant and the writing is top notch. I can't wait to see where this story goes.

Game of Thrones: 8x06 The Iron Throne

To quote the one true queen, RuPaul:

"Meh."

The Good Fight: 3x09 The One Where the Sun Comes Out

The weakest episode of the season so far. Too much Blum, way too much Maya, not enough Diane. The whole Maya/Blum thing was just too convenient and frankly completely unbelievable. Please, writers, just let Maya's character go! She was never particularly interesting and far less so now. Same for Blum. His character's Trump/Roy Cohn parallels were always on the nose at best, but have now well and truly overstayed their welcome.

Tin Star: 2x02 Resist Not Evil

ok tin star has officially jumped the shark. unfortunately none of the characters' motivations follow any kind of logic anymore. a shame

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: 5x29 Drain the Swamp

That Scientology "gag" was so pointless. Not clever, not even funny. By all means make a point about the terrible abuses they're responsible for, but that was a ridiculously long game for literally no payoff. Bizarre and disappointing.

The Romanoffs: 1x06 Panorama

Well that was fucking tedious and unrewarding. My least favourite so far.

Claws: 2x06 Double Dutch

This season has been a bit uneven at best but this episode was really all over the place. And what was with all the weird choppy editing and unnecessary scenes? And the dialogue was particularly bad. Bring back the old writers and directors please!

Nothing Like a Dame

So wonderful! Maggie Smith is even funnier in reality than on Downton. LOVED this doco.

Riot

This is brilliant. One of the finest Australian dramas I've seen in years. Really beautifully made,and about a truly important part of our history.

The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale

I realise this is "what Joel does" but it's nowhere near sharp enough for my taste.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Fucking brilliant. The funniest film I've seen in ages but also totally heartbreaking. Phenomenal.

Godless

3 episodes in and I am loving this series. Pleasantly surprised by the smart, thoughtful writing, excellent acting and stunning cinematography.

Stranger Things: 2x07 Chapter Seven: The Lost Sister

Totally out of place and unnecessary. This felt like when network TV shows used to spend an episode setting up one character's spin-off series. Absolutely hated this episode, and I've loved all the rest.
