"In fairness Charlie Hunan did put on about 5 stone of muscle between Green Street and Sons of Anarchy, so not hard to see how you missed it, as I needed it pointed out myself. And thankfully his yank accent is a lot better than his cockney!!!"

"Anyone on here watched Fortitude? I watched an Icelandic series called 'Trapped' which was excellent. This however, 4 episodes in, I'm still waiting for the hook. Persevere with Fortitude or do I bin in? Thanks"

Sons of Anarchy is good. But how the hell did the fella from Green Street 'stand your graand and foight' get the lead role. Baffling

Finished season 2 of The Sinner..I find this show slow moving and even a bit depressing but when it's finished and everything pieces together you are left with a 'fuck me that was good' feeling. Season 3 on the way.

"Watched the lot of Our Planet on Netflix... absolute staggering series... showing the natural world in all it's magnificent glory along with the environmental messages that we should all be taking on board in these times.... I think the main message I got whilst watching this series is that walrus's can't fly... In all seriousness.... Sir David Attenborough.... ""What we do in the next 20 years will determine the future for all life on Earth"""

"Bit old but finished the latest season of Startup on Prime. Not amazing but good enough to keep going. Martin Freeman in earlier series and Ron Perlman in later ones.. Edi Gathegi, an actor I didn't know much from is good throughout."

"Not very original, or new, but Justified for me all day long. Even after Elmore Leonard's death when he was acting in a production/directorial role, the series maintained the whip-sharp dialogue that was Leonard's hallmark. Excellent core cast, along with regular cameo/short-term appearances from such as Eric Roberts, Sam Phillips, Mary Steenburgen etc. My favourites were Neil McDonagh as Robert Quarrels (season 3) , Walt Goggins as Boyd Crowder, Jeremy Davies as Dicky Bennett and Margo Martindale as his mother - the scary Mags. Sorry to go on at length, but if I say I've watched all six seasons 30 times I'm probably underestimating. Sure it has some unevenness and flat spots, but that was mainly early on before it hit it's stride. Usual disclaimers, see what you think."

"Kidders - the beginning of season 3 is notoriously slow, stick with it and things will hot up at the end of the series. Btw - thanks all for The Sopranos, excellent viewing"
