Just finished the Aaron Hernandez mini documentary. Thought it was a very interesting watch and just insane how he played a NFL season on the back of the first murder he committed.

Halfway through S1 of Sex Education. Thought it started quite slow but has got better

Watched first episode of the pharmacist last night. Promising so far.

***Hibbyradge*** · 10-02-2020 09:12 PM

Just finished watching the final episode of The New Pope.

It was brilliant and I loved it, but I really have no idea why.

***Jones28*** · 10-02-2020 09:13 PM

Sex Education is getting better with every episode

Watched that last week. As you say madness that he commits a double murder then plays a season of NFL like nothing has happened. Interesting watch, and a bit crazy how someone with so much money can throw it all away so stupidly. Can tell his father's death played a major role.

Watched the first episode of season 2 of Narcos today. Really good start

New series of Hospital on BBC. Every single series is just fascinating. For all it's faults the NHS is amazing.

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 14-02-2020 06:27 PM

The Passenger on All4, quite good so far, although hitmen with less accuracy than members of The A-Team is a bit hard to accept.

***offshorehibby*** · 15-02-2020 10:19 AM

I see the new hearts documentary must be starting on Ch4 this month, Duncanville.

Agree the 2nd one edges it ‘The Legend Of Old Gregg’ is a masterpiece!

Ever drank baileys from a shoe? 😂😂

Not sure if previously mentioned but Aquarius on Netflix is pretty good. A spin on the Charles Manson story with a good soundtrack.

***Jones28*** · 17-02-2020 07:47 PM

Programme called “Amazon: what they know about us” is on BBC 1. Absolutely fascinating, but Jeff Beazos trying to disguise his data mining to take advantage of markets as borderline altruism is a bit of a stretch.

I've started to watch The Vietnam War documentary on Netflix. I've seen loads of Vietnam films but never realised fully why it happened.

Cracking series. Some of the footage is horrific mind you. Must have been terrifying for all sides.

I’ll need to give it a go. I was in Vietnam 5 years ago and found the war stuff fascinating. We visited the tunnels and that was eye opening as to some of the stuff that went on.

We then went to the war museum in Ho Chi Minh but lasted all of 15 minutes as my ex-wife collapsed and banged her head at the sight of the photos showing the torture that went on.

I did both of those two. Interestingly our tour guide for the tunnels was a Vietnamese who had lived through the war from the 'American side' was not a fan of the museum, and I think he referred to it as a "bull****" museum.

There was nothing bull**** about the horrific images though. I'm guessing he didn't like the fact it was all told from one side (anti-american etc) when he had seen it from the other point of view.

Is indeed fascinating stuff and the films/documentaries always appeal to me.

I watched the first episode of Hunters on Prime earlier, not sure where it is going tbh. Seems like a mix of genres for now, will stick with it and see if it is a grower or not. Any other opinions so far?

hfc rd · 21-02-2020 11:54 PM

Just completed Sex Education. Thought it was decent although very predictable. A lot of characters you genuinely like and it does a great job of making you smile. Interesting to see what new characters will be added for season 3 next year.

Going to start Stranger Things next. Heard a lot of good things about it.

Just finished episode 2.

It’s a half decent watch. As you say a bit of a quirky mix with a touch of Tarantino thrown in but overall quite good I think.

Anyone watching The New Pope? It's excellent.

Started the last season of Homeland as well, been a big fan of three series up until this one. Unfortunately, without giving too much away, episode one of the final season is just one big "well that wouldn't happen".

I've watched the first two episodes and thought they've been pretty good, although it's always a slow build with Homeland. Didn't see anything in episode 1 that stretched credibility more than previous series. It was actually the end of the 2nd episode which was approaching unbelievable to me.

**Tyler Durden** · 24-02-2020 03:43 PM

Better Call Saul back today with the second episode available tomorrow morning.

Usual season opener, not a classic but setting things in motion for what’s to come.

Ozark is back on 27th march with a 10-episode 3rd season

still to watch the walking dead return last night

***Sylar*** · 25-02-2020 06:47 AM

I’ve been watching The Stranger on Netflix the past couple of days. It’s really good and the multiple stories unravel very nicely.

Finished Season 1 of Westworld earlier this evening, excellent stuff!

Halfway through season 2, nowhere near as good IMHO.

I’ve not watched S2 yet didn’t think S1 lives up to the hype.

Ozark is definitely one of the best recent series.

The walking dead is awful but will keep going.

I mentioned The New Pope earlier on this thread. I loved it.

It's so surreal, I think I said it was more art than drama, and I still don't know wtf it was about, but it was utterly compelling.

I've started the final season of Homeland. You know there are 8 seasons, Matty?

Ozark is possibly the best I've seen.

I'm delighted that Saul is back as well.

Two top notch programmes that should keep me occupied for a while.

The writers seem to have disappeared up their own jacksies, trying to be way too smart, that's only my opinion though. Having viewed the trailer for s3 it looks like more of the same.
