Car Share is fine as a weekly show but i could never imagine binge watching it. It is after all just two people sat in a car.

Maybe it's best to watch one episode a day, watching the two series over the course of a fortnight.

Or because it prominently features Peter Kay, not watch it at all.

Don't you like Phoenix Nights?

[Demoncrat]

I think it's more about overexposure at this point. Potter still makes me laugh (the time he gets stuck on his stairlift etc) as a character, but what Kay's done since isn't my cup of tripe ....

I liked Car Share, but he’s never topped Phoenix Nights, and probably never will

Charmed getting rebooted by CW with retro twist | EW.com

Apparently it's going to be set in 1976

Must admit that it's one of those shows that has passed me by. I have recorded every episode from television 'to watch later', but never get round to starting it and so the entire series gets deleted from the box...only for me to record the entire series again 'to watch later'...and it is still not been started so it'll probably get deleted again!
