It's a shame there are only 6 episodes. Are they played weekly? I mean it's so weird to have such a short season. I guess with our American shows we have so many episodes but quality varies greatly.

Most comedy programs over here in the UK are 6 episodes long.

The reason why a series is normally 6 episodes is because things are expensive! The bigger shows like Shameless and Skins have more writers and more money, but sometime that shows in the quality of the story. You look around, most series started with 6 episodes then went on to something higher because of it's success.

Shameless started with 7 and this current series is something like 16! next series is only going to be about 8 though.

TV is expensive, which why we end up with stupid celeb and some stupid throw your body about shows, because they they pull in the viewers and the cost is cheaper, which is a bit sad really because those sort of shows are brain dead.

By the way people, we are in the UK it's called a series, if you call it a season I'll hunt you down and slap you.

ahahaha, after reading this thread I just watched the entire first series today :p Reminds me in a way of how 6th form was - funniest bit was "Friend, footballfriend! Carfriend!" We used to take the **** out of each other just like that and go to Thorpe park every couple of months once we had just learned to drive.

Great that the 2nd series is just weeks away. (Y)

I like having only 6 episodes in the UK. It stops writers from milking jokes, like American comedies do a little. It stops catchphrases developing too quickly also.

I'm looking forward to the next series. After this thread started I watched them all through. I've been away for a year, and I never watch TV (on a TV), so I would have missed this completely if not for this thread. I'm not sure if that's sad or not. :p

    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal by Sayan Sen SSDs and GPUs are incredibly hard to get nowadays due to high pricing. Discounts are quite rare which is why we report on them as soon as we spot a good deal. For example AMD's new 9070 GRE was finally up for sale at a very good price of just $500 thanks to a special coupon. Sadly that deal is gone but if you happen to be looking for a 4TB NVMe SSD and can spend around $400 there is a really good offer on sale that you should not miss out on as TeamGroup's 4TB G50 model is on sale for that that price which means you are only paying $100 per TB, a very good deal in the current market (purchase link under the specs table down below). The TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 drive and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. Since this is a 4TB drive you can use it for a gaming library to take advantage of things like DirectStorage. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. Get it at the link below: Team Group T-FORCE G50 4TB Internal SSD (TM8FFE004T0C129): $449.99 + $50 off w/ promo code SSF69668, limited offer => $39.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.
