"Finished The Gentleman, really enjoyed it in the end. The cast was really good, although wasn't too convinced with Ray Winstone's character."

"Yeah, enjoyed the first two episodes of the gentleman. Good cast. Although the story doesn’t seem connected to the characters of the film. It’s more like a rewrite."

"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.
