It was all right. S1 started off as a run of the mill, binge watchable Netflix-esque romp, the show began to go downhill from episode 7 or so, and pretty much the rest of S2. Some great musical numbers and songs were present, but occasionally veered away from the actual plot (i.e. R&L would find themselves in a situation or obstacle which they spend 5 minutes singing about, which was used well but occasionally had a tendency to take you out of the episode). The plot in S1 showed their lives outside of GMM, heavily fictionalised to a rather humorous extent (e.g. the absence of their families, the great amount of free time they have). It is very tongue-in-cheek and self aware. Although things begin to get silly and outlandish to an unbearable extent hereafter... Let me explain, they decided to do a parallel universe Buddy System in S2 which was and idea which didn't mesh well and didn't have a GMM 'feel'. It had a stream of episodes with almost no continuity other than this single concept and it got pretty tiresome. I would say though that the series starts strong but the final episode of S1 left a lot to be desired. I enjoyed the second season a lot more in that case as I treated it as more of an anthology and enjoyed it's quirks. There are some 5/5 episodes in the whole series, but overall I'd give it a 7/10 or 3.5 stars out of 5. So in conclusion, looking forward to S3 or whatever else they have to offer. Love these guys and the crew at Mythical Entertainment, they can do no wrong.

Pretty decent album but mediocre by The 1975 standards, Notes on a Conditional Form marks the end to the MFC (Music for Cars) era, preceded by A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships. It is quite the embodiment of the lead vocalist of the band, Matty Healy, controversial, pretentious, derivative yet original, cocky, confident, cool, charismatic and very, very flamboyant. Their inventive, genre bending style of music is to be praised, along with George Daniel’s production allowing Matty’s approachable yet esoteric muffled vocals to shine through. Think of it as all the wacky nature of ABIIOR with the uneven, mismatched, ‘unapproachable as a stand-alone work’ instrumentals akin to ILIWYS. As a casual fan I enjoyed all the singles, all great stuff. The singles are as follows: The 1975 (NOACF Greta Thunberg iteration) People Frail State of Mind The Birthday Party Me & You Together Song Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America If You’re Too Shy (Let Me Know) Guys —————- Save for the singles there’s only a handful of songs I liked and would return to, instead of listen once and appreciate. Don’t mind the unapologetic, in your face approach as it spawned great songs, too. So here are songs I liked off the album: *Roadkill* Oh gosh what a massively underrated song, only bad parts the lyrics ;) *Shiny Collarbone* It was alright. *What Should I Say* Pop yet experimental, great stuff. *Bagsy Not in Net* Great song. ___________ It’s definitely clear the amount of effort that was put into individual songs paid of, great stuff there but the album as a whole is not cohesive or consistent unlike the rest of their discography, which has me giving a relatively lower rating as I’m rating the album. By no means disappointed just underwhelmed, still one of my favourite bands and it’s just a small downgrade from before but definitely not the first band to do so. Love the band, keep up the great work I can’t stress how much it’s worth a listen, everything delivered with class albeit less traditionally, especially Adam and Ross’ work, looking forward to a couple singles and EPs!

Could have been much, much better. But that doesn't mean it's horrible. Only flawed. I quite enjoyed the concept but the execution, not so much. The idea itself was great with the theme of grief etc. It could have been more like The Grand Budapest Hotel and Bill Murray should have had a larger role. The love subplot was not necessary and was terrible. However, not as bad as the critics say. Underrated, undercooked gem.
