"hang in there, you'll meet Burt (Christopher Walken) in episode two üòä *when the show was being casted, they hadn't decided on the role of Burt until a suggestion of Walken by John Turturro*"

"Takashi Miike 1:40 Mon May 2 Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls finished Severance. brilliant stuff, loved it Watched the first episode last night of Severance found it weird but will keep watching! Sounds like the piano music score in the backround was written by the same composer of Succession slightly off key and what you might call a sophisticated Les Dawson."

"Got to the end of Ozark. Great ride it was too. In the final 3 eps a late middle aged actor appeared playing Wendy's alcoholic, very unpleasant father, who I kind of recognised but couldn't place for the life of me. I looked him up and it was John a Boy from The Waltons. All I'll say is Mary Elizabeth will be ashamed about how he's turned out."

"The Night Manager is years old now, but agree thought it was superb and Lawrie was indeed excellent. There was talk of a second series but doubt it will happen now."

For crime still haven't seen better than Gomorrah. Better Call Saul. Excellent. For a British thriller production based on a John Le Carre novel. The BBC done an excellent adaption of The Night Manager. The best Hugh Lawrie has ever acted. On BBC I player.

Thanks Bell. Does make you feel old though. Seeing Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis looking their age was a bit of a shock!!

"Zico I love it, but I suspect its more for nostalgia than the quality of it. Defo worth a watch if you like TNG, and if you haven't seen the announcements, I'd suggest a quick Google of the series three cast. Couldn't wipe the smile off my face when I saw it. Love TNG."

Advice please gents. I'm a bit of a classic Trekkie but also had a lot of time for Star Trek TNG. Last year I started watching Picard but gave up after six episodes. Found it slow and boring. My neighbour told me yesterday that the second series is far better so watched another two of series one last night (still slow and boring!). Is series two worth it?

Started series 6 of Better Call Saul today.Kicking off where series 5 ended. Which is very well. It was always going to suffer from comparison with its predecessor. However on its day. It’s been more than a equal to Breaking Bad. All hail the king.!
