    I hope more tv like this gets made.
    Did you watch it on Binge (Foxtel)?
    TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

      On Foxtel - my brother's account because I'd never pay Murdoch a cent.

      Yes, I know.

          I'd expect you to remember the minutiae of my life if I mention any small part of it from here out .

          Anyway, good show. Recommended.

            I watched Tenet last night.

            It was classic Christopher Nolan - looked awesome, well acted and I didn't understand any of it.

            I actually think this might have been his "jumped the shark" moment where the clever plot is too inaccessible. Or maybe I'm just too stupid.

            Anyway, I actually enjoyed it overall. If anyone smarter than me wants to explain it in moron language I am listening.

              I haven't seen it, but after a mate saw it and said he didn't like it, I haven't ventured there.

                I saw it when it came out in cinemas last year. It was good but i have never worked so hard to keep up, and the longer time goes on the worse my memory of it is.

                As if the concept wasn't inaccessible enough the audio is deliberately atrocious, so as you battle to understand wtf is happening you also are trying to figure out what characters say in what at least appear to be important conversations. Someone really needed to tell Nolan to pull his head in.
                I should leave it alone but you're not right

                  I thought you could ONLY see Tenet in cinemas.

                    Some of the streaming services have it as an option to watch

                    eg Netflix

                        I found it extremely hard to follow and the 2 watching it with me were bored off their heads. I don’t think I could ever watch it again.

                          Yep I get this. If the plot is too much work, people are going to lose interest.

                            So I finally watched Flebag. Man what a ripping show. Super talented across the board, and not often I get belly laughs from anything these past eighteen months!

                              Glad you liked it. We've recommended it to a lot of people and many haven't warmed to it in the first episode and given up. Their loss. As well put together a show as just about any I've seen, and in classic British style doesn't outstay it's welcome.

                                It's awesome. I get people don't like it when actors break the wall but also think if it was a guy doing it many more would be OK with it and it would get more public acclaim.

                                I was looking forward to a third season because she's an absolute gun, and the supporting actors really help as well. It's a shame but having done a bit of reading on why I'm cool with it.
