Sharon Horgan is an amazing writer imo. I’ve liked everything she has done. This one had me shouting at the tv because one of the characters is so awful. Ann Marie Duff from Shameless is very good in it too.
Loving Vikings, bad bad men and women, Lagatha is quite tidy too and Loki is a loveable radge 😀
Brilliant programme.Quote:

Slowly working through Money Heist (casa del papel) on Netflix, end of series 2 and it continues to blow me away, I’m so invested and involved with all the characters.
Paint it black was brilliant.Quote:

I tried both but far preferred the former.
With subtitles. I can’t stand dubbed tv or film, I actually find it unwatchable most of the time. Going to the cinema in France it’s almost always doublage as they call it.Quote:

Not really interested in the murder angle, just enjoy watching these people as the plot develops.
Also watched a few episodes of 1899 but struggling to get into that
I gave 1899 a go watched 4 episodes don’t think il be back again, I’ve been watching peripheral on Amazon enjoying that wouldn’t say it’s ground breaking but it’s decent enoughQuote:

More classic TV on BBC4.
The Singing Detective 😀
Can't believe it's still going, genuinely one of the worst TV series I've ever seenQuote:

I’ve only a couple of episodes left of the last series of GLOW. Pleasantly surprised by it. Thought it was quite good and the quality didn’t drop as I expected it to.Quote:

We gave it a bash, we all thought it was awful TV. No suspense at all, I just didn’t care.Quote:

The Scottish Masseuse was a hoot, he called that young lad a drama queen when he burst into tears and left the table, then the next day the Scottish guy spat out his dummy and had a similar strop at the breakfast table 🤣
Its so **** its unreal telly, its top rating as far as cringe fests go
I maybe need to get out more, but not until Traitors has finished 🤣
Totally agree, I reluctantly agreed to watch thinking it looked like nonsense.Quote:

I binged all 6 episodes of the traitors on Saturday night/Sunday morning. I’m absolutely hooked on it. It’s a bit like the early days of big brother. The drama is unreal but I’m absolutely getting caught up in it. Found myself crying more than once when someone has got upset. Kind of wish I’d waited to start it because I hate cliffhangers and it always ends on one.
Finished watching The Patient on Disney+
10 shortish episodes roughly 30 minutes each but with intros and credits maybe 20/25 minutes of actual story.
I enjoyed it, quite a dark intense story of a serial killer and his therapist. Steve Carrel plays the therapist in a very different role to what you might be used to with him.
Enjoying Echo 3 on Apple TV so far.

Finished Afterlife last night. Brilliant TV.
Tokyo Vice, really enjoying it.
Watching Quicksand on Netflix. Swedish thriller about a school shooting. Been really good so far.
BBC4 continuing its run of classic drama with The Crow Road.
It was my first exposure to the genius of Iain Banks.The book opens with the wonderful line... It was the day my grandmother exploded 😀
He was a great writer. His first SF novel opens with the main character literally up to his neck in ****.Quote:

Enjoying Bad Sisters, Sharon Horgan stars. Comedy about 5 Irish Sisters who plot to get rid of their ******* of a Brother in Law but fail each time, slow burner but good when you get into it
I'm on episode 4 of "Rosie Malloy gives up everything".
It has some of the funniest lines I've heard in a TV programme for ages. Nice short episodes too so it's an easy binge.
Father Dougal and Mrs Doyle feature, but not as themselves, if you know what I mean.
Enjoying Black Bird on Apple.
Is anyone watching A Spy Among Friends?
I've just finished episode 1 and it's full of promise so fingers crossed it maintains its standards.
Good acting, intelligent script and who doesn't like a full blown Spy story?
What’s this on bud? I like a good spy showQuote:

I'm about 5 episodes in, a bit of a slow burner but, a good story.Quote:

Love Always Sunny. It’s had its peaks and troughs, but that’s to be expected with so many seasons. Thought the last season was quite clever.Quote:

Just finished this, quite a decent watch.Quote:

That is the American version HutchyQuote:

Traitors is the most invested I've been in a TV show in years
Ah right, they're both good. UK version made in Edinburgh.Quote:

2 Christmas Specials worth a watch - Two Doors Down and Motherland (Both BBC). Won't spoil it but both eps have a one liner that made me lol. Elaine C Smith is a fab actress.
There's a Robbie Coltrane tribute on BBC4 tonight, then the first two episodes of Tutti Frutti with the rest of the series to follow over the next couple of nights
Thanks for posting, looking forward to this. Need to get back into the habit of checking the tv guide. Really bad for just watching programmes advertised on TV channels or recommended by people. Get loads of great programmes on BBC4.Quote:

I stumbled across Life and Death in the Warehouse on iplayer. It was originally on BBC3 sometime earlier in the year.
Nominally fictional account of a few individuals working in a warehouse but it's based on testimony from thousands of people and a lot of the terminology used and in house productions shown is barely disguised Amazon.
Really quite harrowing and shows the true price of our 'must have it next day' consumer expectations.
The Royal institute Christmas lectures. Professor Dame Sue Black on forensics
Finished season 3 of Jack Ryan, continues to be a decent watch.
Mayflies!!!
A dozen BAFTAs. Or I'll eat my hat.
Read the book first though.
Got to say I'm struggling with it. It doesn't stand the test of time for me, and I loved it 1st time out.Quote:

For a modern audience though it’s probably needed to demonstrate the fraternity between the two characters. So not really a gripe.
Was interested in Kaleidoscope on Netflix - there are 8 episodes and the premise is that you can watch them in any order. Netflix will randomise the order for each viewer. Each episode is named a colour and the story revolves around a vault heist.
Watched 4 episodes now and aside from the gimmick format, it’s pretty average stuff. Will stick with it but it’s probably not something that merits the hype
I've only watched ep1 so far, quite an emotional watch.Quote:

I’m watching it with the mrs just now, I’m quite enjoying it, it’s very oceans 11 in that a lot of things are so far going very right for the criminals but other than that it’s quite good, I was completely oblivious to the gimmick until I started watching and it explained what was going on as well, my expectation was just another showQuote:

I'm usually critical of TV shows dragging something out over too many episodes but I really thought Mayflies could have done with one more. Some of the flashbacks just felt crammed in and didn't really go anywhere and outwith the 2 main characters all the others just felt a bit underdeveloped. The postman/3rd friend clearly had a story to tell but it was merely a sidenote and was rushed and explained in little more than a couple of conversations. Same with Tam from Still Game.
It was good, moving and the cast was excellent but I just wanted a bit more.
They were up against it. Tight budget and a really quick turnaround from it being announced, made and releasedQuote:

I recommend the bookQuote:

That said it was reasonably fast paced so her indoors has decided episode 2 will get an airing tomorrow.
Watched two episodes last night. Some familiar actors, the Canadian lassie just comes over as a bit false and is a bit annoying. Im not sure what to think to be honest so may persevere with it so I can hopefully get into it a bit moreQuote:

Maybe I’m just impatient.
It doesn’t give me that hunger for more though, nothing really has since Line Of Duty tbh.
