Stiles' absence near the end was very noticeable!I try not to just write shows off and I'll always be open-minded, but I just know certain styles of shows aren't for me and I've never enjoyed any period drama I've happened to catch on TV - they just bore me a lot, I'm sorry! When there's so much TV to watch, stuff like this would never be a priority of mine.

I've literally written a dissertation about it, but a really great, distinctive ahead of it's time show that was cancelled too soon and sadly has a shit US remake to it's nameI loved the first season of Yellowjackets, but it's been going steadily downhill since :'( (I'm only halfway through S3)

Charlie Plummer, Kristine Froseth and Denny Love excel as the core characters and the gut punch plot twist in the penultimate episode still hits on repeated views. It's held in high regard by those who have watched but it mostly seemed to fly under the radar

May 6May 6 Day 6: Favourite quiz showI'll go with Pointless for the geeky element and the fact I spent many hours playing the app version x
May 6May 6 favourite trans character: Lily Hoshikawa (Zombieland Saga)favourite new show released in 2025: Adolescencefavourite on-screen friendship: Julian Bashir and Miles O'Brien (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)TV show I've avoided watching: The Last Of UsAlso applies to Fallout and pretty much any video game adaptation (except Arcane, which is a different sort of thing), I'd much rather experience these shows first in the visual medium they were originally made in and even though I have a huge game backlog, I'll eventually get to it. Also certain book adaptations but I'm much less selective for that.Underrated TV show: Uma Musumecould apply this to many anime if we're talking about here and even many of my sci-fi shows but this one stands out because among anime watchers it's not often considered that standout (and it's also attached to a mobile game which lowers its reputation), but the way it uses real-life horse races to sell the trials of the main characters in a fictionalised adaptation (of human-looking horse girls running these race) is a narrative technique that really works in making this better than most sports shows.Favourite quiz show: University ChallengeThe only quiz show I catch up on episodes for. I get attached to one or two teams every year and I like challenging myself to see how many of the questions I can get (which is not all that many but enough to make me feel smart whenever one of my subjects of interest comes up). It's also easier than most people think when it does cover a subject you know, because the way in which the questions are asked is often deliberately set so that people passingly familiar with the topic can find a clue in the question somewhere, so gaming that is fun.

Intrigued to continue with the main storyline once the Oguri Cap saga ends.

It doesn't rely on general knowledge which is already a more accessible concept, easy to play along with friends to make it extra competitive, and Lee Mack makes for a hilarious and engaging host too.

ITV deserve credit for putting it on in a prime Saturday night slot from the start. Lee Mack's hosting adds an extra element to it.
