    Started watching "Master Of None" on Netflix this afternoon. It is one of the highest rated Netflix shows on Rotten Tomatoes so thought I would check it out. Two episodes in I am liking it.

    I'd watch it but it's the only thing on SHO I think I'd sign up for and now I don't have a subscription.

    I'm finding I'm looking to binge watch shows on free trials rather than sign up for services where I only want a couple of shows, case in point Picard on CBS All Access, Baptiste on PBS Premium, & Mandalorian on Disney. It's irritating to be honest.

    Competition is normally a good thing as it brings prices down, but if it Comes to shows and Sports it's nerve wrecking.

    just to watch my favourite Football Team (soccer) I have to pay the full Price for two different plattforms. And most likley three
    different ones from next year

I think we got 8 or 9 episodes in. Still not sure what I think of it. The show is clever for sure, and the acting is good, but the twists seem a bit contrived. We will probably see it through the end of the season. I think this one has a second season as well?
    I've been watching this, because Linda Cardellini, and I thought the first season was good, even if it did require a certain amount of suspension of disbelief to buy into the plot. But the second season, of which I am about halfway through, is just scenes of the two primary characters alternately crying and drinking. Maybe they bring it all together by the end of the season, but I'm not sure if I'll make it that far.

    My thoughts too...I loved the 1st season. I got about halfway through Episode 3 and couldn't watch it any longer, just became so stupid!

    That was what I was afraid of. There has even been a bit too much of that for me in the 1st season, so if it gets worse I may not continue.

    I liked season 2 of Dead To Me, but I can see where it could put people off. There's definitely a lot of tearful apologies, only to find them making the same mistakes again, drinking, crying and apologizing again. I also found Cardellini's sudden lesbianism a bit far-fetched. But overall there's a lot of great acting and I do like those two together quite a bit. The entire season is only about five hours of total viewing anyway.

    I assumed it was bisexuality. (Or perhaps pansexuality, as that seems to be the new it thing.)

    I think having sex with panheads is more accurate.

    I didn't. In fact, I thought the writers were going to "go there" in season 1.

    Pansexuality differs from bisexuality in that gender plays no real role in sexual attraction for a pansexual. More specifically, a bisexual is attracted to males and females whereas a pansexual is attracted to a person regardless of their gender, be it male, female, trans, etc.

    Really enjoying Pillars Of The Earth, we missed it back when it aired but it's well done, thankfully it's on Prime. Might appeal to Game Of Thrones fans, although there's no fantasy element to it. Virtually every member of the large cast is recognizable too.

    I have that on DVD (lovely deluxe-boxset) and watched it two times. Great story and well played. Danger, betrayal, romantic, erotic scenes, friendship, etc.

    I really liked this production, one of the few film versions of a book that is actually worthy. Helluva cast too: I'll watch anything with Ian McShane, and I love Alison Pill.

    It can be confusing, so here's an example that may help you to identify a pansexual individual.

    My grandmother used to hit my grandfather in the head with a frying pan. Were they having sex in front of my father, aunts and uncles?

    We watched the two most recent episodes of Killing Eve. They're still killing it this season. The episode where Villanelle goes home to reunite with her family was incredible.
