Thistle_do_nicely Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) Gobbledy go f**k yourself is such a phenomenal insult its genuinely frustrating to me that there's almost no context I can work it into my day to day life. Part way through season 2 after bingeing season 1, wish I'd known about the show sooner, found it by chance more or less. Favourite part so far (possible spoiler alert but I'll keep it vague all the same, it doesnt feel like it warrants a spoiler tag tbh as its not really a Snape Kills Dumbledore/Sixth Sense thing) was Greg wanting to blackmail Tom but not quite being jaded enough to do it yet (or at least that he isn't really sure how to do it and mumbles his way around it) and Tom looks legit thrilled at Greg telling him about the copies he kept. Tom pretty much talks himself into getting blackmailed . The utter delight in the delivery of "You're a complete piece of shit, Greg!" and "I accept your offer to blackmail me" was hilarious. edit: and of course as soon as I type that I remember Roman's dirty talk over the phone. Proper belly laughs. another edit, but will try to stop now. "We're listening isn't a great idea for a tagline. I, um, spoke to legal and it turns out, um, we are... actually listening. Quite aggressively, in some cases. Apparently. To um, improve the user experience". We here for you.

The whole scene is magic, but the clincher for me is when they're both chuckling away, Tom asks him where the papers are, and Eggy Greggy bursts out with an "I'll never tell". It makes me laugh every time I think of it. Two guys just having a great time laughing about blackmail, evidence destruction and proprietary theft. Pretty much the heart of the entire programme. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much the heart of the entire programme.Aye, even blackmail over horrible crimes is seen by them as just a wee bit of point scoring to grift a few quid and a bit of position out of the other..... Untouchable and they know it. I imagine its probably not a bad portrayl of the way yer super rich c***s carry on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abdul_Latif Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Kieran Culkin the star of the show this season imo. Roman’s meat puppet comment a personal favourite this episode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 Episode 6 is back to it's best after the slow burn start. It's going to be some end to the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’ve been a bit underwhelmed so far this season but that was an incredible episode. Tom and Greg in the diner talking about prison is the funniest scene of the new run, a return to form. Really beginning to warm to Tom too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Superb episode. We were so close, Conheads. Also, "Peter Munion". Jesse Armstrong definitely picks his moments for subtlety. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the first episode this season with loads of extras and guest actors and the plot has moved on from just internal Waystar stuff. So they possibly planned the first half of the season around Covid then the second half back to normal. Tom and Greg sharing a cell in season 4 has to happen now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internet Citizen Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Superb episode. We were so close, Conheads. Also, "Peter Munion". Jesse Armstrong definitely picks his moments for subtlety. There was also a wee reference to Peep Show in this one when Brian Cox called someone a “seat sniffer” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I'm up to the Dundee episode and they've clearly taken inspo from Janey Godley with that protestor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
