Just want to mention Last of Us again, it is a brilliant piece of television, production quality, set design, acting and direction is all top class. You can tell it is made by the same folk that did Chernobyl.

It is very good. Made me happy that two actors from my favourite ever TV show Northern Exposure were in that last episode briefly, playing the husband and wife Native American characters. Leonard and Marilyn from NE.Quote:

I read this comment on Monday before I had watched the latest episode and my heart sank at the thought of Leonard and Marilyn (Marlon and Florence) getting killed, because lets face it most characters introduced end up dead by the end of the episode, I was really happy to find out they didn't die! It was great however brief to see Graham Greene and Elaine Miles back on screen together, can't believe is has been 28 years since Northern Exposure ended!!Quote:

You need the diagnosis to get the help that is needed.
Come back and let me know if you think it still stands up to 2020 viewing! Season 4 with the much maligned Mike Munro character gets a lot of criticism but there are still some gems in that season too. And Favourite episode of course (Seoul Mates for me :greengrin )Quote:

Mike Monroe, that was Anthony Edwards, Dr Greene from ER, another show I watched at the time. I look forward to getting to S4 to catch up, got 37 episodes before I get there though!Quote:

I watch it on old box set DVDs through my Xbox and as you say there’s issues with the screen size and one of the dvds definitely has a different music editor on it. By modern standards it has a very ‘analogue’ feel to everything!Quote:

Surgeons on the Edge, dont know why I put myself through it, I cant stand blood or guts or legs and ankles in positions they shouldnt be. I just look away all the time 🤣
But I watch bits of it 🫣
The new season of Succession, is to be the last. Gutted
Oh no. Gutted with that, surely enough story to go on for a whileQuote:

'All Quiet On the Western Front' on Netflix. Best film I've watched for a long time. :top marks
Yes I did watch the programme. Listening to what the lad who couldn't speak had to say was sad. But you could see his confidence grow by the end of the programme. Just shows that everyone has a voice.Quote:

Obvious echoes of Lost but it’s a worthy comparison and the casting is spot on. Hopefully season 2 can live up to the hype

I just watched it, I thought it was outstanding. Like The Line of Duty, it’s so much more than a standard cop show. Raised lots of themes around nature vs nurture and whether Ryan could be bigger than his dads legacy. Loved the ending.Quote:

I’ve just binged on the series Ted Lasso. I originally thought it might be a bit naff but I quickly got hooked on it and really enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to the third series now.
I just watched episode 6. It was excellent again but I didn't notice part 2 merging into it.Quote:

For anyone who enjoyed Paul Whitehouse in Gone Fishing, there’s a couple of programmes starting on Sunday on bbc2 where he investigates how bad the pollution in Englands rivers is, and by all accounts it’s a shocking watch.

The fact they were in Jackson rather than the dam, you don't see inside Jackson in the first game so it's setting it up for the second with the town and the people in itQuote:
