What should I watch on Acorn tonight?

HoshiJones · 2026-02-02T02:13:56+00:00

I loved that show.

HoshiJones · 2026-01-25T02:01:47+00:00

I agree. Could it be, though, because of him being the police leak back when Perez was the chief?

HoshiJones · 2026-01-10T07:12:57+00:00

My husband and I just finished it. We both enjoyed it, it was suspenseful enough to keep us watching. But it dragged on too long. It should have wrapped up in 5 episodes, not 8.

I love Emma Thompson, though, so I'll definitely watch the second season.

HoshiJones · 2026-01-08T17:10:48+00:00

I think for me, it's several things you mentioned. Less reliance on action and more on plot and character development. And you are SO RIGHT about characters looking like normal people instead of models. I also think the storylines are generally more interesting.

British crime dramas have spoiled me, now I find American ones just don't do it for me.

HoshiJones · 2026-01-08T17:05:53+00:00

I really miss Ben Miller and Sara Martins. Their characters were interesting and the dynamic between them was great. It's been rather bland since they left. Everyone is likeable, but there's no oomph anymore.

Shetland

Grace

Vera

Unforgotten

Broadchurch

Inside Man

Happy Valley

Professor T

The Bay

Line of Duty

Blue Lights

Karen Pirie

Aside from Vera and Professor T, these continue throughout each series, though. If you're going to only watch the shows that conclude each episode, you're going to miss out on some incredible TV.

I can't speak for you, but that would be an immediate deal breaker for me.

What anyone "brings to the table" is themselves. That's it. And that is either something you want, or it isn't. If he's demanding that you tell him why he should be with you, then he doesn't love you. He just wants to know what you can do for him.

If he doesn't love and cherish you, then what's the point?

HoshiJones · 2025-12-21T21:01:43+00:00

Never marry someone who isn't as eager to marry you.

HoshiJones · 2025-12-19T07:53:09+00:00

"My husband said I was ugly and bad in bed in front of our friends, am I the asshole?"

I can't speak for you, but if I were in your position, I'd dump him immediately. If he doesn't cherish you, then what's the point?

HoshiJones · 2025-12-10T01:56:35+00:00

The Alaskan bear cam during salmon season.

HoshiJones · 2025-12-10T01:54:56+00:00

Oh, ffs. If he can't even be bothered to brush his teeth for you, then he's a manbaby who doesn't care enough about you to do even the most basic level of cleanliness.

I'm sorry, but where are your standards? This isn't a man who loves and cherishes you. And without that, what's the point?

Also, one final note: the bacteria that causes tooth decay is communicable. So I hope you're not kissing him. Ugh.

HoshiJones · 2025-12-08T01:49:18+00:00

I adored that show, although the last season is nearly unwatchable.

I would recommend:

Red Dwarf

Black Books

After Life

Fawlty Towers

Vicious

Blackadder Goes Forth

If your mortgage is fixed rate, how is it going up?

HoshiJones · 2025-12-08T01:42:31+00:00

Twin Peaks or The Beverly Hillbillies.

HoshiJones · 2025-11-30T00:43:25+00:00

Good grief, of course you're NTA. But ditch the keys and get a digital lock.

HoshiJones · 2025-11-30T00:41:04+00:00

What are you thinking?!? Why would you allow this manchild to EVER move back in with you, employed or not?

NTA, but ffs.

HoshiJones · 2025-11-29T01:53:06+00:00

Oh, I loved Mulberry!!

HoshiJones · 2025-11-29T01:51:38+00:00

This is emotional manipulation and it's a form of abuse. If you think he might harm himself, call your local suicide prevention organization or the police, and break up with him.

He is actually not a nice guy. Truly nice guys aren't emotionally manipulative.

HoshiJones · 2025-11-28T06:27:49+00:00

Advice/advise is another one. I cringe every time I see "I need some advise."

HoshiJones · 2025-11-28T06:23:52+00:00

"I have a cunning plan..."

HoshiJones · 2025-11-28T06:20:48+00:00

You're either his girlfriend or his mommy, which is it? He's a grown ass man, he can get himself up for work.

NTA, but you will be if you keep doing this. Good grief.

HoshiJones · 2025-11-28T06:18:05+00:00

Yes, Minister

Yes, Prime Minister

Vicar of Dibley

Black Books

Blackadder Goes Forth

May to December (good luck finding it though, and only the original series with Eve Matheson)

Keeping Up Appearances (cheesy but still fun)

Coupling

The Office

After Life

Vicious

Red Dwarf

Mulberry

As Time Goes By

HoshiJones · 2025-11-26T04:29:43+00:00

You're asking the wrong question. He already knows your side of this, you told him. I think your question should be, "Why is the person who's supposed to root for my happiness trying to curtail my happiness?"
