"Just finished The Killing liked it a lot but not really the last season as much. Breaking Bad, Homeland done Was going to do Luther or The Wire next - can you tell me which one is best of the two?"

Why is stuff on Amazon Prime so dark (I mean the brightness level, not the subject matter)? Reacher 3 is so dark I can hardly watch it.

[Jim79]

Righteous Gemstones is fucking hilarious. Havent watched the latest season's first episode yet but the previous I think its 3 seasons have been brilliant, laugh out load at some points.

[Alfs]

Enjoyed the change of pace on the first episode of the new series of The Righteous Gemstones 

I'd never heard of that but have just looked it up and shall give it a watch.

Surprised it hasn’t been mentioned yet, but Adolescence is absolutely stunning TV. Not strictly a box set as only 4 episodes. The technical nous to shoot each episode in a single take is startling. Stars the ever dependable Stephen Graham. On Netflix.

Anyone seen A Thousand Blows yet?


 

I've watched the first 3 and it's very good so far.  No drag queens thus far!

[Mr Anon]

The English Game on Netflix.

About the beginnings of football and professional football based on history, actual characters and Teams who were the pioneers
I never knew that professional football started up North, mainly Lancashire, and that the FA along with the rules were founded by the elite amateurs from London & the Home counties.

Not a documentary, well worth a watch!


 

Did they not push the recent emerging narrative it was invented in Scotland? That will piss them off. Good.

[Swiss.]

Reacher is as good as ever. 

[only1billybonds]

Roots.

Yea, the English game was decent, don't have to be a fan of the game to enjoy it.

I was really enjoying Paradise but that final episode of the season was a real let down, really pissed me off to leave the season like that.

[Alfs]

Just finished Paradise and it is set up nicely for a second season.

[MaryMillingtonsGhost]

Anyone started on the new Reacher yet?

Yes mate....silly story but worth watching ....He's a fucking unit.

Careful fella. One of the sites resident bog trotters will be calling you a housewife
Must  admit I quite like Reacher. Not exactly Earth-shattering TV, but you know what you're gonna get.
Must've read at least 15 or so of Child's books. TBH, they're all pretty much the same.
The big guy giving wrong 'uns a slap. What's not to like?

I agree Manuel.  This season has no likeable characters apart from Aimee Lou Wood and is lacking in the humour of the earlier series'.  It's also rather slow.  Shame.

Yep, she's the best character. I watched the third episode and literally not one plot progressed from episode two. Borderline fucking weird. The three girl friends is just rubbish. Annoying Yank family.

[DukeofDevo]

Paradise pretty good. Bit of a murder mystery with a sci-fi element 

[Manuel]

The new White Lotus, nothing is happening and the characters are pretty boring? Looks like one series too far. I really liked the first two before the Swiss pipes up. Hopefully it starts to pick up.

Was chuffed to see that 'the worst man in the world' Richard Roper is in the new Night Manager, which will be the best thing this year.

Anyone started on the new Reacher yet?

Yeah.  It's nothing special but entertaining enough.

Royle Family was ok, Early Doors was fucking superb, Rovers was fucking gash
