They immediately jump into the trailer, it tells you it's in the Top 10 this week etc..... Maybe just me but it works. Amazon is so clunky I find and the categories they list the shows in is pretty counter-intuitive. First world problems I know.

Anyway I've nearly finished season 1 of Start Up. It's decent for me, I like Adam Brody and Martin Freeman so that's a big tick in the box. Otherwise it's a bit of a low rent Breaking Bad. Nothing particularly original or amazing but worth a watch.

That’s so true and it’s the reason I watch far more stuff on Netflix compared to Amazon. I’ve got Netflix, Amazon , Disney and discovery, but the Netflix app is miles ahead of the others.

I actually find Amazon better for having proper trailers...Netflix seems to like to show you a random 30 seconds from the show / film that gives you little idea of what it’s about.

Although that said I think Netflix has improved a touch on that recently.

But in general I agree...finding genuine new content on Amazon is a pain sometimes. Especially their ‘new’ movies on Amazon feed...often stuff from the 90’s that they just happen to now have the rights for.

I just watched the first season of intelligence after it came up as a suggestion after I watched the Friends Reunion. It was quite funny. I already liked Nick Mohammed from watching Ted Lasso but didn’t realise he was a writer too. Looking forward to the second season now.

Mathew Perry appears to still be unwell, I suspect his anxiety is still a major issue, felt really sorry for him as he appears to have hid his health problem from the cast who were unaware of just how badly affected he was when they were filming most of the series. My fave was and still is David Schwimmer. Worth a watch for any Friends fans.

Watched it last night. The plastic surgery that Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox and, to a lesser degree, David Schwimmer have had done is horrendous. Cox looks like a burns victim and it seems to have had some sort of impact on Aniston’s ability to speak normally.

It was quite telling how ‘normal’ Matt Le Blanc and Lisa Kudrow are compared to the rest of them.

I thought Matthew Perry was going cry when Lisa Kudrow emphatically replied “no” when asked if they’d do a movie. He’s obviously been banking on something like that financially.

As we're avoiding spoilers, I'll look forward to coming on here and telling you I was right...even if I wasn't. :greengrin

So was your instinct correct? :greengrin. I have to say I didn’t see what was coming at all. Winslet was tremendous throughout.

I was close but, ultimately, wrong!

However that was the best single season drama I've ever watched. Great story, nice level of mystery/suspense combined with believable outcome, phenomenal acting. I felt the emotion in every episode.

I'm gutted it's over but they nailed it.

They shouldn’t have bothered with the 3rd season at all...without Alan Arkin it all seemed a bit pointless and certainly lost a lot of its humour.

No surprise they will not be making a season 4.

The first two seasons were great tho [emoji106]

It was good. Does make you think if the whole jail system is just wrong though. Obviously there are criminals who deserve many years and even full life terms, but it's the non violent criminals that I think should be in separate prisons. Also sad to think that even the prisoners who acknowledge their guilt and mistakes don't feel they have any hope and just get in deeper and deeper to a point they really won't ever recover.

I like Jimmy McGovern as a writer, the Accused and Hillsborough series he done were brilliant. I had a bit of a problem making out the dialogue with some of Stephen Graham's lines, had to rewind a few times. He's got a very broad scouse accent but I normally have no probs understanding what he's saying. Anyone else have that prob with this production, or am I going deef?

Love when they fire the whole series on the i-player, I like a binge watch sesh.

Good luck - it was a couple of months ago I had it (but have had the trial more than once in the past) so hopefully you can get one just now as a first timer. Can also pay for it monthly with no need for long term subscription.. but the free one is obviously better 😎

Well I watched all three episodes of Time back to back. Oh my god, what roller coaster of emotions. It was tense, inspirational, heartbreaking and entertaining all at the same time. I’m a cryer in general but this was something else for me. Pretty sure I cried through about 40% of it for various reasons. I absolutely love dramas by Jimmy McGovern, but along with Ken Loach, I don’t know why I persist in watching their work because I really do get myself in a bit of a state. I Daniel Blake will remain one of my favourite films, but I have never been able to watch it at second time. It’s too upsetting

Jamie Sives. Ruth Bradley was the star of the first series for me.

Yeah that's his name. It was annoying me for ages what I'd seen Ruth Bradley in before, eventually came back to me it was Love/Hate, she was good in that too.

On season 3 of startup now, only two episodes to go, this has been brilliant and I am hoping they will make more of this

There were actually three former Leith Academy pupils in the cast. Noof McEwan/Ousellam plays Cameron the gangster. He was in my year.

Wow. The biggest pile of rubbish I have seen in a long time! The opening scene was bad enough but by the time it got to the takeover of the space prison I simply could not take anymore.

Binned. Immediately.

I've just reached the end of the series, probably the biggest load of rubbish that I've persevered for for an entire series, looks like there's more to come, don't think I'll bother.

I admire your persistence….although quite how you managed that is beyond me! [emoji2957]

I’m currently on catch up with Startup. For some reason I had watched the first 3 episodes of the first season then stopped…picked it back up now, quality viewing for sure [emoji736]

The Handmaid's Tale continues to be fine viewing, probably not the cheeriest programme ever made though.

I reckon the theme this series will be "revenge".

Enjoying Clarkson’s Farm on Amazon

Exactly what you would expect from him lots of childish humour but it’s certainly gives a serious insight into running a farm.

I finally watched Time over the last couple of nights.

Thought it was brilliant. I like shows that challenge the ingrained prejudice a lot of people have: prisoners or criminals are all bad people who do bad things. Truth is plenty people who have committed crimes are decent people who have made bad mistakes and are sorry. It didn't shy away from the devastation their actions have but it showed both sides and all that goes with it.

I agree with that. Rather surprisingly so.

The real life characters were brilliant. From Kaleb not knowing who Moses was to Geralds indecipherable chat.

Agreed about Clarkson. I was worried it was gonna be the usual childish nonsense but it actually showed a lot of respect to the farming community with some usual Clarkson humour thrown in. Really enjoyed it.
