"Side of Ham 5:35 Wed Aug 21 Your right there is more to it. CIA in Afghan during the Russian era. First series going along nicely until Bridges got Covid and was diagnosed with cancer, so they wrapped it up a bit abruptly! The second series, I’m sure will address the loose ends!"

"Manuel, there's a bit more to The Old Man than what the lying Rada trained cock Swiss has said. The plot is pretty straight forward and easy to work out (Swiss being the fine example of anyone could) the first series is basically spent telling the back story with a bit of a twist in the middle. Hoping the second series really develops into something good but as always it could go to shit."

The Old Man . Jesus I’d rather be put on a rack and stretched than go through this torture. Slow and depressing as fuck . Not saying the acting is bad. Quite the opposite especially the young Bridges who is totally realist as him younger . Ok I only watch one episode but it’s seems I worked out he was on an a US government assignment fell in love with some terrorist and went in hiding and 20 years later the FBI have caught up with him . They gonna stretch that out over 8 hours . Fuck that

"I just finished Shane Meadows' 'The Gallows Pole' on iPlayer. Fucking brilliant after the dross I've watched lately if you love that Derbyshire accent and his normal cast of players. Although it's a true story of a rebel northern village which is starving due to the start of the industrial revolution its in places as funny as fuck and it's only got 3 episodes. In fact it ends abruptly and looks to my eyes like they ran out of money. A great watch though, especially the conversations he has with the supernatural northern 'Stagman'"

"I'm finding less and less TV that I can watch. Almost all of it should have hired a proper writer. Having said that, I saw one of the best dramas I can remember, Shane Meadows' The Gallows Pole on iPlayer this week. It's as funny as fuck if you like that 'matey midlanders' that he does so well."

Been watching Gen V an offshoot of The Boys set a little time in the future. It’s pretty good. Sad about Chance Perdomo the British - American actor who died only aged 27 in motorcycle accident this year.
