Ladies and gentlemen - Columbia recording artist Bob Dylan! Rules Who was written off as a has-been by the end of the '80s and who suddenly shifted gears, releasing some of the strongest music of his career beginning in the late '90s. Who donned make-up in the '70s and disappeared into a haze of substance abuse. The guy who forced folk into bed with rock. The voice of the promise of the '60s counter-culture. It's hard to resist binge watching the second and third seasons hold up remarkably well.Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the subreddit of the poet laureate of rock 'n' roll. The writing is smart and funny the cast is just about perfect-notably Johnny Flynn as Dylan, Daniel Ings as his wingman, Luke, a smug, obnoxious IT guy, and adorable Antonia Thomas as Evie, confidante and on-and-off love interest. Not sure that makes total sense from an epidemiological standpoint it's really just a pretext for some entertaining flashbacks, one episode per ex initially, like Rob's obsession with reliving his failed relationships in "High Fidelity." The tone is wistfully romantic, for the most part, with time out for some raucous ensemble scenes set at various wedding venues, strip clubs and the ER waiting room (following a traumatic hookup in a nightclub toilet stall), all very skillfully staged. Seems like the original title ("Scrotal Recall"!) was a little too on-the-nose for Netflix, even though it's a perfect fit for the show's initial premise: Dylan, a young Glaswegian, loves not wisely but too much, gets chlamydia, is obliged (by law) to notify all his exes, going back a couple of years. Dylan (Johnny Flynn) is sweetly honest to the point of dangerous, occasionally demure but mostly confused Luke (Daniel Ing) is hyper and also confused and our lovely girl in the middle Evie - the one with a brain - (Antonia Thomas) is also extremely confused.Īnd all those women! Everyone one of them perfectly cast.ĭylan's list is quite long (although inordinately sprinkled with names beginning with A) so three seasons seems about right.
The jokes (verbal, physical, slow builds, fast builds, prat falls, in your face (everything covered here) are to die for.Īnd the cast is glorious. The scripts are amazing - taut, sharp and tightly plotted.

It's also seemingly set in Glasgow - big plus - with occasional jaunts out of town. And somewhere in here lurks the spirit of Richard Curtis.
#Love sick threads update
I remember MEN BEHAVING BADLY - maybe this is the update but it's so much funnier. Have finished season 1 (Riverdance the highlight) in one hit and looking forward to Seasons 2 and 3 tonight. We're not the aimed at demographic (clearly) but we took option B - so glad we did.

I'm just going to pretend the third never happened.Īfter a full day of coronavirus news my husband and I were undecided whether to drink the coolaid now or deal with our predicted death by pneumonia more pro-actively by watching SCROTAL RECALL. That's when I gave up on the whole thing, not even caring anymore if those two ever got together. Unfortunately the first two episodes of season 3 weren't funny, leaving a soap opera built around the discomfort of two people continually out of phase.
#Love sick threads series
At first this is just fun will-they-or-won't-they stuff, but by season two that series of missed connections, bad timing, and poor communication are darkening the lives of them and anyone they become involved with, so increasingly the story is feeling like a dire warning about the destructiveness of frustrated love. A constant thread of the series is the unspoken love between Dylan and Evie. I really loved the first season, but I was just slightly less enamored with the second. The series is very funny, with sharp writing and sometimes intricate plotting, All the episodes fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, so as the series progresses we fill in more pieces and get a greater understanding of the principals. Each episode involves a call then a flashback as we see a time in which Dylan either bedded or broke up with his girl-of-the-week. This brilliantly funny series is about Dylan, a young man whose chlamydia results in his needing to contact his ex-lovers to warn them.
