"Whoever recommended Slow Horses, thank you. Five episodes in and it's supurb. Olivia Cooke is an absolute rocket as well, so that helps. Really enjoying Ted Lasso as well."

"Alfs 4:54 Thu Aug 3 Same. I really enjoyed it until the last episode. Unless there is a second series, It was not just ruined by a poor and far fetched motive but it fizzled out without any real closure."

"I thought The Bear 2 was a bit meh. Hated the shouty esp of the family Xmas. Improved a bit towards the end. Will there be. Season 3? Yes I would think, since the whole season revolved around the new restaurant opening"

Hijack trekked to be original which did keep me watching and actually held onto the possible end game as long as possible. Six episodes of quality tv and then a finale which felt rushed for some reason. Meanwhile The Bear. Best show on TV right now. What a brilliant second series

I agree about the denouement of Hijack. The motive of the hijack is utterly ridiculous.

"The Sixth Commandments.. Superbly put together, top acting and an absolutely diabolical criminal. Hijack - Absolute bag of shit !! Oh dear Idris Elba. His career is nosediving quicker than that plane."

"Good Omens is back for season 2 and is great fun. Very funny, even accounting for some unnecessary goings-on in the last episode. Tennant and Sheen are in great form and Miranda Richardson, Reece Shearsmith and Doon Mac, um, MacKeech, er, that Scottish woman, are all excellent. Nina Sosanya gives me a stirring in the loins."

Hijack has been a great simple watch. Is Ted Lasso any good? Just got six months of apple tv.

Lat King of the Cross with Tim Roth is pretty decent.Bit confusing at the start but comes good. Slow Horses is superb.

"Ah right, well in that case there are many alternative view shows I've seen that I've really liked, two recent ones were with Sean Bean - Marriage and Time, both really good. Happy Valley another. I could list a dozen or so, at least."
