The premises of this put me off watching it, it sounded utter rubbish. But the horrific weather left me nothing to do over the weekend and I gave it a watch..and my goodness it's brilliant..

Binge watched all but last episode..

Well worth a watch if you haven't seen it already.

Haha, I was too embarrassed to start a thread, but a bad case of man flu meant I was stuck indoors and ended up watching the first episode yesterday and loved it. Going to watch it quietly over next few weeks until up to date. It was made all the better by the fact that the opening scenes have the lads riding a section of road I know all too well from our Wednesday night rides. Some awesome trails around there 🙂

I didn’t watch originally either as it sounded like a one joke program, but it was great. I loved the John Hughes style - all blue skies and sunshine. Seventies and eighties cars paired with iPhones, and a Raleigh Ti to boot.

The second series is somewhat a disappointment... like so many things they are milking it to death

Was wondering what it was actually like, might give it a go. Maybe with my two teenagers 🤔

Really? I thought the opening up of the characters was good, the script still decent and all the other things there are to love about it were still there too?

Depends how comfortable you all are with discussing masturbation?

I disagree, unless you mean there are less boobs.

It so well captures the awkwardness of teenage crushes and romance, had me going throught he whole rollercoaster and wishing I'd made more effort when I was late teens rather than reading the June 93 copy of MBUK on repeat for 2 years.

I watched it at the recommendation of my 16-year-old daughter 🙂

I like it, particularly all the picturesque location shots of the Wye Valley and Symmonds Yat.

But I thought the ending of the second series was rubbish. A really blatant attempt to try and get a third series commissioned.

I find the confusing mixture of high school America with Wye valley setting, modern technology with 1980's corner shop scenes all very enjoyable. The quality of acting is also a confusing mixture (but I'm still watching!)

I think Gillian Anderson pulls off the dry humour of her role extremely well. And the friendship between Otis and Eric is fantastic. Brilliant show.

Its either some attempt at not dating/locating the show or theres some very deep level (tarantino level deep) references to historic TV and movies going on that I'm not getting.

Either way its a great show, and I really want to live there as all bike rides to and from any destination are just slightly downhill that its not really an effort to pedal.

You'll enjoy it then..at one point she demonstrates how to Jack off an aubergine..

The weird mix of 80s/modern day through me a bit at the start, wasn't quite sure what was going on. It just works though doesn't it..also lovong the soundtrack

As for the setting, it just looks absolutely stunning in that part of the world.

First series great, watched a couple of the second series but couldn't get into it. Felt like they used all the good material and it was playing for shocks.
