Think it is near impossible to see Song Of The South now on tv or streaming as it is viewed as ‘racist’ which of course it isn’t , it reflects a certain time and you just have to be aware of that like many old movies. You can buy the DVD or Bluray although maybe imports. To be honest the best thing about the film are the songs , the film itself t isn’t that good but then I haven’t seen it in about 40 years.

Yes it is a pretty solid show, the third season which is just out is supposed to be great but the final season is probably not going to be as good due to budget and cast cuts but enjoy the ones we have.

You can always get NOW, watch it through that. Just subscribe a short time before season 2. Binge Season 1 and cancel Now after 2 months. You can usually get it pretty cheap, first month free. We did look into that (this is how we watched GoT after all) but as I said, it doesn't do 4K... our TV is a great big OLED and if you don't watch stuff in reasonably high definition it looks awful lol If we get desperate enough we might do that but for high production value shows like this, it's a shame not to be able to make the most of having a nice TV. yeh we had to slum it with Now for Season 1, it is a bit rough on our tv as well. It is on Blu ray though.

OMG what is wrong with you?? I know it is a pain as it's Sky Atlantic but you have 3 months to sort it out!! Other than the edit above, we just don't watch TV enough at the moment for it to be worth getting a Sky subscription. Still doing a lot of DIY etc. to the house and needing to save up for other things so it's just not a priority. What we'd ideally do is get it on BluRay but sadly it's getting harder and harder to get stuff on BluRay these days as physical media is on the way out, particularly for shows/movies. You can always get NOW, watch it through that. Just subscribe a short time before season 2. Binge Season 1 and cancel Now after 2 months. You can usually get it pretty cheap, first month free.

Yeh it does but hope there is plenty original stuff , it’s like a list of memberberries and “you liked that didn’t you.?’ And those? And him? Need more than just nostalgia bait.

Kerrang is in the only one I ever watch now but why would you watch a poor SD quality video channel when you have YouTube.

Probably funnier if you're not a woman I guess I agree that he stole the show but I was genuinely shocked the director didn't get a nomination at least. more ironic then

I haven't seen most of the films involved in nominations but it's kind of bonkers that neither Greta Gerwig nor Margot Robbie were nominated but Ryan Gosling was, for a film literally about women I think it is so funny , Ken was the star in many viewers minds hehe

The worst new show and worst show of all in 2023 is
Secret Invasion
I never finished this either but I know what was to come. This whole show needs to be deleted from our timeline. The trailer is actually pretty good, we thought we were going to get a decent 'Winter Soldier' type show, or I did I was so naive. This is possibly the worst Disney + show yet. Worse than 'She Hulk' for the damage it causes. Nick Fury destroyed, Rhodey destroyed. The whole plot is ridiculous, the final battle is MCU breaking and just total nonsense. Honestly I could rant for ages, plenty others on YouTube have done it better. This show did not deserve this name, 'Secret Invasion' was one of the best comic stories ever. This was pure rubbish.

The top 2 are most deserving of the shows I watched for sure
2 Ahsoka
I will start of by saying that I love Ahsoka as a character, i am not totally on board with Rosario Dawson's version of the character she is a bit too stoic but that is the least of my issues with this show. This show should never have been made, not in live action anyway. This series fails in every way but being a fitting conclusion to the 'Star Wars Rebels' and a continuation of the Mandalorian story. Thrawn is a joke, Sabine one of my main characters is destroyed, her 'relationship' with Ezra is watered down and lacked any emotion. Pointless cameos. Lots of people talking and nothing happening. It was terrible, I never finished it but from what I hear I am glad I didn't.

well it turns out I don't have a 4, was going to push up one of my also-rans but none of them are bad enough for that position so let's do the top 3
3 Our Flag Means Death
Now this one, I maybe wrong about, you should give sitcoms a chance. I tried I really did, hoping it would be a 'Ghosts' like show but with pirates, I just found it painful and unfunny. I have struggled a bit with Antipodean comedy, I couldn't get into 'Colin In Accounts' either

5 Fubar - Netflix
Lolz to death, this was so painful. Just watch the trailer, you will be in hysterics. I thought this show might be fun but it is so so bad, I couldn't watch past the pilot. I can only handle so much cringe. Maybe watch while drunk.

6 Interview With a Vampire - BBC/AMC
I really think I have this too low. This was horrific but for all the wrong reasons. Just keep a few beats from the book, a couple of references to the movie and then just make the rest of it up with a story that is awful. I never finished it, it was really bad.

7 Rabbit Hole - Amazon Prime
This one is just a bit frustrating. Always excited when Kiefer has a new show but this was pretty bad. His character was ridiculous, the story was very confused. It really felt like someone was making it up as it went along. Just let him to 24, these dodgy knockoffs are a waste of time, as is this show as it has now been axed.
