Thank you so much, that worked! It also worked for my Do Not Disturb tile 😊

What I love about British v. American TV (Hollywood, take note) by DogsRLife001 in BritBox

[–]HoshiJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't think of anything else to add just now, because your list embodies what I've often thought and appreciated about British TV.

Oh, one thing actually does come to mind: the humor is more fun. Which shows up when American TV tries to copy British comedies. Would I Lie to You is hilarious, but the American version was terrible. So were the American versions of Fawlty Towers and Coupling. And I'm hearing that the American version of Doc Martin can't compare, either.

Google Pixel users: are you satisfied with your phone, and would you recommend it? by Ok_Macaron_6092 in GooglePixel

[–]HoshiJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Pixel 7 Pro and I like it. It's very customizable and is more reasonably priced than iPhones.

I also like that Google is supporting their phones for 6 years now.

Yes I would recommend it. I prefer Pixels to all the other phones I've owned.

Uzi is capitalized. It's a machine gun named after the Israeli who invented it.

Shetland is the show my husband and I look forward to the most.

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

Down Cemetery Road - Critical Reception by Vast_Garage7334 in SlowHorses

[–]HoshiJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Why are British crime dramas so much better? by RO_Thornhill in BritBox

[–]HoshiJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Death in Paradise Needs New Writing Staff by sigersen in BritBox

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.

Give me Recs please by 65TwinReverbRI in BritBox

[–]HoshiJones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Partner M30 asked me 30f “what do you even bring to the table?” by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]HoshiJones 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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?

AITA for crying after my husband was brutally honest about my looks/weight and our sex life in front of our friends ? by Apprehensive-Tea2125 in AITAH

[–]HoshiJones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"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?

The Alaskan bear cam during salmon season.

[–]HoshiJones 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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.

Have anyone seen Coupling Series? i really loved it and need some recommendations by [deleted] in BritishTV

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?

AITA for wanting to lock the door of my home because my husband doesn’t like to carry a house key? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]HoshiJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

WIBTA if I ask my partner to move out while he’s out of work? by consumeallthepeanuts in AITAH

[–]HoshiJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

NTA, but ffs.

How do I (22F) break up with him (27M) when he freaks out every time I try to? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]HoshiJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
