"Swiss Toni; White Lotus and Euphoria in the same recommendation request? Im guessing you've seen a picture of Sydney Sweeney with her ample cannons out and now googled what you can watch her in!!! ha White Lotus is very good, relatively light hearted but a very good watch. Euphoria is brilliant, very cleverly shot and produced. Some of the acting and characters in it are first class to given the average age of the cast is early twenties I'd say even if they are all playing characters in their late teens."

Is White Lotus worth all the hype ? I watched the first episode and it didn’t exactly grab me by the balls. Is Euphoria any good ?

Finally got around to watching Slow Horses. Really enjoyed the first series. Great cast and Gary Oldman is fantastic. Presumably people do have jobs that are something like that? Portrays them as real people with major flaws so all very believable (even if it isn’t).

"NS, agreed, she played a great role With regard to Charlie Cox and Ciaran Hinds ( Eamon Cunningham character ), they pair up again on Treason on Amazon Prime, not as good as Kin but worth a watch"

Yeah Boots... very watchable.... however it took me three episodes in to realise that it was a birth mark on Amanda's eye and not a shiner... she is a top actress.

"Reacher was throw about fun, nothing more. If you can't abandon reality for an hour then don't bother, will watch the 3rd series when it's released."

"Kaiser - Like I say, not too be taken seriously. Some of the stuff people speak about on here I wouldn't watch if you paid me, like Clarkson on a farm for example. Others on here have said they like Reacher, each his own of course."

"happy - I'm pretty fussy with what I watch, but Reacher is good value IMO. Not to be taken seriously, but it's fast moving with a decent storyline and some good characters, with Reacher himself being likeable, for an oddball lunatic. Some of the tear up's in it are something else."

Is Reacher worth watching? I hear the older women in the office talking about it along with the soaps they sit and watch evert evening. I've assumed it's more banal shit

"Yeah dont mind the Yanks Chim... 20 odd visits over there and to be honest I could count on one hand the amount of cunts I have met... vast majority when you get chatting to them courteous, generally interested in us... and occasionally get our humoured!! As I said earlier on in the thread... whether Bomber Command or US 8th they were the bravest of the brave... cannot think of anything more terrifying being in that B17 ball turret... and I imagine being a tail end charlie in a lance or Stirling wasn't much fun either... absolute and utter respect"

"I just don't have the love affair with the septics like you do and certainly know they don't like the British half as much as you think they do. In Masters Of The Air (or whatever it's called) have they mentioned the RAF and the fact that at least a B27 had an underslung gun, unlike a Lancaster which made it able to take much more ordinance (I still think that the Blockbuster is the heaviest bomb ever dropped from a plane?) but also much more dangerous, hence the fact that a tail gunner in a Lanc had the highest chance of death than ANYONE involved in the war. I was lucky enough to be pals with two of them, God bless them. Anyway, you're right it is arguing over nothing but just one simple thing about the Americans talking about World War two, they call it 'double-you, double -you, two' thinking saying it like that abbreviates it."
