Would love to know what you think 💭

We take for granted our expertise in a known context. We respond effortlessly and adequately to most of what comes our way as it's all so known to us. Few surprises.

Jason Biggs (from American Pie) presenting the USAs answer to bakeoff the professionals on Netflix is inspired. It's like a polished version of Mr. Blobby turning up on Deal or No Deal... this is crossover TV I can get behind.

Please tag people to this thread as I know it’s tricky to get started when you first join.👇🏼

This feels like going to a Premier Inn - it's got all the same furniture in all the same colours and in all the same places but the view out of the window is completely different…
