šŸ“ŗ GOOD SHOWS (no capeshit pls)

The only shows left on my roster are Handmaid’s Tale and Leftovers. I have tapped out of Everything Else.

Handmaid’s Tale is my favourite! It is set in a dystopia America where WASP women can no longer get pregnant, so every household is given a left wing lesbian or a black woman to be a Sex Slave, and the Wasp husband bangs them to make a Baby. If you get a Lesbian, what they do is cut her bean off, to stop her lezzing off with the cook, and if ur Handmaid is still not get pregant, which is quite often happen, cos most of the Wasp men is Jaffas, you get the local GP or chaffeur to bang her on the side.

What I find weird about the show, is the sheer number of fkn Henchmen that are hanging around. They’re fkn everywhere! There’s six on every street corner, all tooled up with automatic rifles and walky talkys. I’m not sure why tho, cos there is no signs of Rebellion, everyone is loving the new arrangement. Where do the government get all these Henchmens?

It is gd show tho trust. Even better than my recommendation of Girls, or the suicide Dawson’s Creek remake.

Last night the handmaid was v.angar, cos she has to sit in the wifes lap while the husband bangs her, cos that’s how it is in the Merman bible or something, but what the husband was doing was banging her extra hard trying to make her cum, and that was bad cos if the wife sees her enjoying the banging, she gets sent to salt mines or something. She’s allowed to get Banged, but she’s not allowed to Enjoy It.

Soz bear, you are out of recommendations. You are all about Orange is the new black and Ally McBeal and stuff. I need a 2nd or even 3rd vote in support before I sit down to watch one of your chick box sets.

I have quit walking dead and found 2 doors is now on Kodi. I think this might be the best program since him and her. Maybe even better than him and her.

I must admit, lot of my recommendations (girls, 13 reasons why, handmaid’s tale, ally mcbeal, orange is new black) seem to be shows where the female characters are all clear mental illness. Not sure why. Guess I just find them kind of shows more Realistic.

Good point bear. I prefer more fantasy stuff like where the woman are grounded and not neurotic, obsessed with finding Mr Right etc.

I see what you mean, but it’s not for me. I can sort of buy into a world where there is dragons or zombies or wizards or whatever, but when they have women characters acting rational, you know, i can only suspend disbelief so far.

I am genuinely thinking about doing some extras work. The beard is huge and the hair is long. I also think shortarses have an advantage in this field as we don’t need to be CGI’ed for dwarf or hobbit roles and we make mid-height actors look leviathan.

I have a friend who’s done a lot of extras work on Poldark, it would fit in with your political leanings. He was a member of a worker’s council…was tried, found guilty and received a government assisted passage to Van Diemen’s Land. :lou_wink_2:

After reading Bearsy’s compelling take on The Handmaidens Tale, I was completely sold …I just couldn’t resist and watched the first episode tonight.

Pretty good for an opener but I’m hoping the pace picks up a bit. Looking forward to the high scoring scrabble game, it sounds very exciting.

Fraid not! I think show is primarily aimed at Women tho, so you have to make Allowances.

Edit: What does it take to get a @coxford_lou d-vote round here? I was hoping to get about 6 on this page alone, but she no longer seems to be monitoring our Activities :lou_sad:

Billions season 2 ended this week. I have stayed with it even though Mrs SOG gave up long ago and was rewarded with an excellent didn’t see that coming penultimate episode last week. It really nails modern day USA where even the guys with the white hats have questionable morals and everyone is fucked up in one way or another. Not sure about the wisdom of doing another series though. The Bobby Axelrod/Chuck Rhodes thing can only run so long.

Not long now before Twin Peaks returns. Woohoo!

Deep Space 9 now done. So slow in S1 and so huge even epic during the war. Feels like we lost an old friend.

Now catching up on new episodes of Designated Survivor. It is good & enjoy all the curve balls that Kiefer gets hit with. Few more to go then gotta decide between Expanse & Sens8 - easy for me but need to get Mrs D_P on the bus not sure 8 will hold her down long enough

Yo Bearzo!

My apologies. But there’s so much competition for Sotonians these days it’s easy for my attention to be diverted! For example, President Trump is my new go to for nut-job conspiracy theorists - he’s just way more entertaining! And frankly, Saintsweb has raised the bar recently for stag-rutting. Politics thread is second to none for education about the male species, and laughs.

Deep down, Sotonians will always be my fave of course.

PS. I enjoyed your review of Handmaiden’s Tale.

PPS. You’re such a feminist

PPPS. Except when Tokes gets a bit wise then you need to go all macho again

PPPPS. Not seen Handmaiden’s Tale but read the book a couple of years ago and it was already pretty graphic. Not sure why anyone would want to watch it on screen other than to fulfil rape fantasies. Unless there’s more to it than that?

As it fucking should be.

We are the sexiest damned Saints forum on the planet. You don’t see lovely embedded tweets on TSW or the UI, and given the near universal mockery of those who’ll see each other in the pub, you’d have to assume a fair proportion of them are fucking swamp monsters.

Welcome back, @coxford_lou . Can I count on your Labour vote? :lou_is_a_flirt:

I’m disappointed @bearsy … never thought to mention it’s chick tv ??

Ah well, I’ve taken the plunge now and there’s still the scrabble I suppose
