"If like me you're old enough to have watched TV in the 70s (yes it did exist back then), can recommend box set of all 3 series of Secret Army. This is absolute TV gold, one of the best British drama series ever made. Superb writing and acting, which brings home just how evil Nazi Germany was and the bravery of the ordinary people of occupied Europe who did their best to fight them. Su-bloody-perb."

"Have to admit being drawn into both seasons GLOW while the missus was watching it, I do love the 80’s retro feel. The director in the show Sam (Marc Maron) is brilliant plus a few boobies on show too!"

I watched 10 minutes of the bodyguard and laughed myself silly. I genuinely upset people in my house.

"Series 1 & 2 of Narcos are superb, Wagner Moura is fantastic as Escobar series 3 without him really lacks menace however still watchable."

"Not a box set, unless it's a very small box set, but watching the Spanish series 'The Plague'...like it a lot, one of the better things I've seen in a while."

"Cheers Miike - 4 to go, should be done by tomorrow. Agreed on slim Jonah, kind of puts me on edge and reminds me of a guy I work with who lost loads of weight. Didn’t look right and for some unknown psychological reason, I felt a bit awkward around him."

"Miike - I’m on the 4th episode of Maniac. Complete shite so far and am only sticking with it as Emma Stone is in it. How far have you got, and does it get any better (assuming you’re beyond episode 4)?"

"Just finished Killing Eve. Starts off well. But gets very silly, very fast. It is entertaining. Just don’t believe hype that’s being thrown it’s way."
