"Agree Sydney. Blue lights was very good. Recently watched severance as well. Enjoyed it. Just started S3 of the bear, season 2 was one of the best seasons of a show I’ve ever watched."

"Not sure if it's been mentioned on this thread? Stumbled on a Police Drama called Blue Lights, set in Northern Ireland. Superb stuff, best Police Drama I've seen in a good while."

Good 6 parter called The Veil well worth a watch Modern spy/terrorism shenanigans with a side of Shemama Begum thrown in! Also The Sympathizer if you like a bit of ‘Nam action/storyline!

Really enjoyed The 8 Show on Netflix. Few parallels with Squid Game. Absolutely brutal in places and a tough watch but really good.

"I’m surprised no one had mentioned Sugar. I think it’s really good. If you like LA Confidential and Muholland Drive , Raymond Chandler. Dashell Hammett etc you’ll like it."

Jeff Daniels is good in Man in Fall on Netflix and Sarah Jones is very easy on the eye

3 épisodes into Yellowjacket and basically it’s Lord of The Flies with skirts. I won’t persevere. 2 episodes into White Lotus and can someone tell me what the big deal is with this series ? I might skip to Season 2 as it has Audrey Plaza in it as I fucking love her.

"Watched the first two eps of Baby Reindeer and won't be watching a third. It's two unlikable characters who have mental health problems. Though the actress who plays Martha is excellent, despite the material given to her."
