Series 7 is great, why didn’t I realise!

I must have watched series 2 - 5 about ten times. I had it in my head that it goes downhill from series 7 and always stop the rewatch at end of series 6. But I was so wrong. I’m up to ep 8 of series 7 and it’s soooo good!!! Silly me!

Clara Clues?

Spoiler for anyone not yet seen all of Season 4

The reveal came totally out of the blue for me! Granted, it’s been a while since I watched Seasons 1 and 2. Was there any indication, clues that should have made this obvious? Or did the writers just pull it out of their butts for season 4?

Season 4 Fatigue

I’m on episode 3 and not sure if it’s coz I only finished season 3 a few weeks ago, but I’m finding so many characters utterly unbearable.
Acosta may well be the most irritating character from any TV show I’ve watched. Julie and Ethan are driving me insane. Randall has been an irritant since he first arrived and isn’t getting any more likeable. Everyone is just screaming and crying, and/or shouting questions at people that get cryptically deflected. We haven’t really moved much further in to understanding what’s going on. I feel like the storyline is stuck going round in circles.

Sorry to be negative! This was my fave show in Season 1 and 2. Am I just fatigued? Those of you have have finished Season 4, please tell me I should stick at it and the pay off is worth it. And please tell me Acosta gets killed off soon (joke, no spoilers please 😃)

Skincare Routine Advice

42 year old woman, have Cleansed, Toned and Moisturised morning and evening every day since late teens (that’s what the magazines told us to do then, so that’s what I did). I’ve enhanced my routine over the last few years to try and address my ageing skin.

I have oily skin, the odd spot/blemish, relatively wrinkle free, other than lines around my eyes and mouth and frown lines on forehead between eyebrows.

**Morning**
Boots Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Foaming Face Wash
Simple Soothing Toner
Boots Ingredients Triple Hyaluronic Acid Serum
Boots Ingredients Reviving Eye Cream (caffeine and peptides)
L’Oréal Revitalift Laser SPF25 Cream

**Evening**
Boots Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Foaming Face Wash
Simple Soothing Toner
Renew+Me Nightly Active Treatment (0.010% Tretinoin)
Magic Wrinkle Eraser Night Balm from Froya Organics

**Extras**
Shark Cryglow Mask - Better Ageing mode (4 weeks so far)
Face masks such as Garnier SkinActive Moisture Bomb / Vitamin C / Hyaluron Glass Skin - 2/3 times a week

Can I get some opinions on if I’m doing it right? In particular -
Is the Tretinoid strong enough?
Is Renew+Me any good or have I just been Influenced badly?
Anyone else using Froya Organics or have I (again!) just been Influenced badly?
Overkill on the face masks, am I confusing my skin by doing too much of a mix?
Shark Mask - any experience from other users?

Thank you for any advice / suggestions to change for a pretty clueless person who doesn’t have professional facials or Botox currently!

Thank you :)

White spots, won’t squeeze

Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what these spots are on my forehead. I have had them a few months, they are pretty solid and won’t squeeze, so not whiteheads. How can I get rid of them?

Thank you

What’s with the obsession with (American) Football in Series 9 USA?

Confused Brit here. Every episode in this series references the Super Bowl and a Footballer is invited in to do a pep talk with the restaurant owners. Does the same channel that airs KN also air the Super Bowl, so it’s a publicity thing? Is it a rule that during Super Bowl ALL TV shows must include a reference? 😂 Help please…

What restaurant owners didn’t deserve GR’s help?

I’ve just watched the Iberville Cuisine (USA Series 9, ep 1 and 2) and I’m infuriated at the owners’ attitude. Husband and wife team who seemingly decided to run a restaurant with zero experience or care for the industry. She spends all her time on her phone in the back, he pops up every now on then to do a ‘to camera’ bit about how having a restaurant is his dream, but otherwise does bugger all to contribute. They’ve hired an ex Plumber to be the chef and the perfectly capable wait staff don’t always get paid for their work, or if they do it’s like $40 a day. I feel like they’re rich people who bought it on a whim to play with, somewhere that the husband can chill and play his piano.

And now they get Gordon in to design a new menu, refurb the restaurant, bring in a famous Football player to give a pep talk, and have a professional chef help out on the kitchen!

If you don’t have the first clue about running a restaurant, DON’T BUY A RESTAURANT.

Phew, rant over 😂

What other eps made you feel this way??

Sequel Vs Reboot

Inspired by a separate thread! How do we differentiate between a sequel vs a reboot? I’d say a reboot needs to come years after the original, and have a new cast. Bonus points for including cameos of original cast members. Sequel needs to come quickly after the original, and maybe continue the original plot line to an extent? All original cast, maybe some new characters?
