The Assembly on stv is a show in which autistic and learning disabled interviewers interview famous people. Michael Sheen was very good. The David Tennant interview ended with a very beautiful sunshine on leith rendition, and was particularly moving. A really thoughtful bit of television.

Just watched the first episode of I, Jack Wright on Alibi, got a bit of potential.

Thank you for recommending this, it’s not something I would have thought of watching. I’m so glad I did. Very moving and funny.

Another shout out for True Crime fans, The Essex Millionaire murders on STV player. I’d never heard of this before which is unusual for me, terrifying how evil some people can be.

Bluey. Probably been covered as it's simply fantastic kids TV but we just watched the episode The Sign on BBC I player. Wow, just wow. As someone who didn't have the best of upbringing it really struck a chord.

One of my Grand daughters favourites amongst many. I think miss Rachael was what advanced my Grand daughter and at one year old astonishingly was learning all the moves, identifying individual colours and shapes but moreso she learned very basic sign language, it was hilarious when she signed the please and thank you and more milk please 🤣

For an educational point of view its class but for a Grandad point of view its nippy as **** because I cant get to watch my tv 🫣

My youngest daughter loves Bluey and it’s superb, no issues sitting down to watch a few episodes of that with her each night before bed, been some questionable kids shows over the years that you have to grit your teeth to get through but Bluey really is very good.

[BILLYHIBS]

Bluey is brilliant have it on all the time for the grandkids

One thing I have noticed is they play the same music all the time in the background that stays like a music worm in your ear for the rest of the day

It struck a chord that and Pepa Pig’s dad

KAOS is absolutely amazing TV on Netflix. Quite the mind****.

Has anyone watched the new series of Black Mirror yet?

I've got a couple to go and have been pretty disappointed so far. Possibly a show that was just so good it's hard to keep hitting the heights.

The first episode just felt a bit of a rehash of the Be Right Back episode in series 2. Someone has a life ending/altering accident, technology brings them back but they aren't the same. The Bete Noire episode was ok but the reveal of the leads 'powers' was telegraphed miles out. Hotel Reverie again felt a bit of a rehash of San Junipero. Forbidden love overcome in a universe that doesn't really exist....... it dragged on about 20 minutes too long as well. Plaything is the last episode I have watched so far and the best of the bunch imo. Peter Capaldi and Lewis Gribben are both excellent and it's the most complex and questioning episode, also good to dive back into the Bandersnatch universe. Will see the season through to the end as I want to watch the sequel to USS Callister. Hopefully that doesn't disappoint.

Last of Us Season 2 is really shining this season. Yesterday saw the release of episode 4 of 7 in this season and the show runners confirmed on the official podcast what we were all thinking, that season 3 is in production now. We also saw all three groups of antagonists in Seattle this episode. I always thought The Last of Us 2 was going to be more difficult to do as TV episodes but they are handling the changes well and it is shaping up to be just as enthralling as the 2nd game was.

[Tyler Durden]

I've reverted to a 90s approach of actually watching TV on certain days at the moment. Quite like the Apple model of one episode per week.

At the moment it's Last of Us on Mondays. Wednesday/Thursday is The Studio and 3 hours of Andor, then "Your Friends and Neighbours" on a Friday.

Really enjoying all of those. As someone else said, was expecting "Your Friends and Neighbours" to not be great... it's kinda throwaway lifestyle pOrn but pretty entertaining with it.

Andor season 2 is slow burning so far but it's almost like a new Andor film every week with these 3 hour drops. I think the last couple are gonna go through the gears a bit quicker and all the build up will pay off. Very different approach to Star Wars that has raised the bar.

I am enjoying it (as a non gamer) but my only issue is that it feels a bit predictable now, in terms of where the story goes. And the backdrop of multiple factions vying for control has all been done in the Walking Dead (which was nowhere near as good to be clear) so feels a bit stale.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Quite enjoying the 2nd series of Malpractice although not as good as series 1.

Do like being back to the one a week episodes. The Handsmaid Tale is also back out weekly.

Couple of new seasons starting up soon. Next Thursday 15th May the 4th Volume of Love Death + Robots starts, going by the trailer it certainly looks like they've continued their promotion of different styles of animation in this volume. Then on the 16th Welcome to Wrexham is back on TV, this one relates to the season just finished so should be interesting.

Love, Death & Robots is class and can't wait for the new season. Loads of phenomenal episodes, but Jibaro is next level for me.

Watched FEAR with Martin Compston on Prime. Very good.

I've watched it too, just not sure about it to be honest.

Poker Face series 2 looks very promising after the first episode. I rewatched series 1 and just as good as i remember.

Love, Death and Robots was excellent , across the three series. I like the short duration and the variety of animation used.

I've just finished watching series 1 of The Eternaut on Netflix. An Argentinian apocalyptic series. It's well acted, with a great soundtrack. I like the pace, not desperately trying for cliffhanging finishes or relaying too much on action.

Interesting to read so many diverse recommendations on here. I suppose it reflects the vast choice of TV available across all the networks. I really struggle to find shows that capture my attention, with most being cliched and predictable.

I’ve avoided it…really cannae abide Mr Compston and always a bit baffled at how highly rated he is as an actor sometimes.

In brighter news someone mentioned Shrinking on Apple earlier in this thread.

I’m not usually a comedy kind of guy (probably neatly reflecting me in real life ) but got to admit I thought this series was very well done with some real funny moments, good acting mixed with a clever undercurrent of examination of the human psyche.

Haven't seen it mentioned, but apologies if it has been.

I got round to watching Groomed: A National Scandal on C4 and it was as tough going as I anticipated. A truly unflinching portrayal of misogyny and the scarcely believable way that so many blind eyes were, and seemingly continue to be, turned.

I did feel this programme went under the radar a bit in the light of all the coverage Netflix's Adolescence got but I found this a much more harrowing watch in the sense that while the fictional events in Adolescence conceivably COULD happen, this DID happen and went unchecked for many, many years.
