I'm surprised no one has mentioned Ahsoka. I think it's one fo the better Star Wars spin offs. Sad to see the late Ray Stevenson in it.

All three series of Cardiac Arrest from the 90s are up on iplayer at the moment. Ged Mercurio’s first project. Looks a bit dated now but it’s still absolutely brilliant.

"May I also recommend The Americans, it's one of my all time favourite series. It's about a a pair of Russian spies living as a married American Couple in the USA during the 80's. It was created by a former FBI agent who worked in counter intelligence and whilst it isn't based on a true story it's considered to be extremely realistic in certain areas. It's brilliant and is just as much about the pairs relationship as it is about their work. The acting is superb as is the writing and production. All six seasons are on Disney + and it's finale is considered one of the best of all time."

"Hairy Definitely Luther as I haven't watched The Wire. Ruth Wilson brilliant and I love the Sussex coast scenes. Saw them filming it there years ago. Currently watching ""The Little Drummer Girl "" Gritty adaptation of John LeCarre novel. Florence Pugh,Michael Shannon and Alexander Skarsgard are all brilliant. Worth watching twice as there's quite a bit to it"

"Anyone made it to the end of Manifest. Got to the end of season 1. Tbh its OK but given there are 4 seasons I'm wondering how long they can drag the main plot on for before you actually find out why what happened, happened (hopefully that makes sense to those that have watched it). Is it worth perceiving with?"

"bell - Yea, I'll come and wipe your arse first though, son. Btw, Hijack is from Apple, it's a good watch if you haven't seen it. Billy - No I don't. I saw a little of the Stephen Hendry and BFS one but got bored. Podcasts are not really my thing for some reason."
