I hate how much Disney have churned out their TV shows. They fell into the same trap that Netflix did with the Defenders - it started out so promising only to become a bloated, overdrawn mess.

I really don't care about investing more time on the Witcher since Henry Cavill left. If he felt it was worth ditching the show because the writers were getting it wrong, then why the fuck would I bother with it either?

Meanwhile there's shows I haven't see in forever that I'd love to re-watch. Sopranos, Breaking Bad (and I haven't seen Better Call Saul yet), Daredevil and Jessica Jones... there's too many to list actually.

And yes - I'm with you on that as well about TGYH. Aussie TV can be so frustrating sometimes since they'll be on a winner only to can it for no real good reason. Chanel 7 are dickheads for buying it only to can it after what, two seasons?

I wish they'd bring back Good News Week.

Bloated is the right word for it. Can anyone remember who the bad guy was in Ms Marvel? Can you tell me what happened in She Hulk beyond the Wong cameo? Cause I sure as shit cant. Kenobi SUCKED.

GNW was amazing! Have You Neen Paying Attention can be ok, but the dumping on Tom thing is getting a little old. And at its worst its super disrespectful to its guests. Its all fun if everyone's in on the joke, but there's such a thing as taking it to far.

I did enjoy the new episodes of Spicks and Specks.
