Douglas is Cancelled.

[Toddlerteaplease]

Anyone watching? Only watching as I like High Bonneville. Not sure about it yet.

Likewise, so far it's not looking very promising is it?

It's not making me laugh, but it has a lot of people I like in it so I'm sticking with it for now.

It may be a different scenario but I am guessing they may have taken a little bit of inspiration from a certain morning tv show for this 😀

I binge watched it and it definitely got better. No spoilers but I think by episode 3 I began to see it was about something bigger than I'd realised! I think it's worth persevering.

On front row tonight they said episode three is the crux of the prog.

I've come late to this.
Does the viewer know what the joke was?

I'm on episode 2 and was considering giving up. Will stick with it now I know 3 is the turning point

They're talking about a newsreaders arse making front page of the papers.....

Episode 4

I can start a binge thread? No spoilers on this one.
Have just finished. It was okay. More drama than dramedy.
I'd have preferred it as a 90/2 hour minute film.

Worth persevering imo, I thought it was quite clever in the end

Brilliant. Definitely worth preserving with.

This passed me by completely, but I just read a very positive review of it in the NS, I'm going to dip in tonight,

Bit too sweary and not funny.

I've just watched this. I don't think it knew what it wanted to be. The first couple episodes were comedy, leaking the mess at wokeness , they were quite good.
Then episode three was brilliant showing how vile men with power can be.
Then there was the Prince Andrew style interview and it all went a bit bizarre. Did Madeline know for a fact the joke was about her? Was she always plotting his demise and pretending to be his friend? Or were they friends and this was a betrayal? Why did she keep making it look like they were sleeping together?
It was ok but I think it needed to either be a joke at cancel culture or a drama highlighting the objectification and sexualisation of women in the work place. It was a bit messy trying to be all.

I've just finished. For the first three episodes I thought it was light and funny. I've finished the fourth episode and think "well done". It's so true - where are the non sexist, party, misogynistic men? Why don't they stand up for women?
