I’m plodding through series 6 with the missus but I think I’ve stumbled on a few spoilers now from last nights episode, unfortunately. It’s OK viewing, one of my friends from school (good Hibby to boot) is in it so I watch it for that partly, but it bothers me that the amount of murder deaths over the 7 seasons must put Shetland above Mexico City for murders per head of populationQuote:

Enjoyed series 1 of The Capture, 2 eps into series 2 it continues to be very good.
I was reluctantly persuaded to give House of the Dragon the new Game of Thrones prequel a try and it’s actually very good. I never really got into it before.
It’s now full on fantasy prequel time in our house, the Lord of the Rings prequel starts on Thursday, most expensive TV ever made, really looking forward to seeing what they do with The Silmarillion.
Only Connect back for another series. Best quiz on TV by a distance.
Seems like it's been made a lot simpler, or maybe I'm getting brainier. I know it's easier in the early rounds but I can't remembering getting so many questions right.Quote:

Definitely simpler. Facile some say.Quote:

I enjoyed it.Quote:

The person who catfished him went about it very clever by speaking to people close to him etc. But yeah definately mental as you say.
By the way despite them making out he would have close to becomming champions if his mindset was right. They got well and truely thumped by an Alabama side that has been rampant for years https://www.espn.com/college-footbal...meId/330070333
Gripping! both my wife and I jumped at the bit with the office security desk, even though it was pretty obvious. Well done for thrill effect.Quote:

Great escape is still a mystery! 🤔Quote:

I don’t think you’ll need any knowledge, they’re spending half a billion on one tv season so they’ll want it to be accessible to as many viewers as possible.Quote:
