I've watched three episodes Ted pretty gruesome as you say. My problem is watching it when the other half isn't around she hates anything like that.

"ted fenton 10:47 Wed Sep 28 ""I've found that since having a VPN it enhances Kodi Firestick etc., but slows down Netflix considerably and we're on very fast broadband"" ted, use the split tunneling feature on your VPN to get round your Netflix problem. This way you'd set your VPN to encrypt everything apart from Netflix (and anything else you want to add e.g. Amazon Prime). So, no slow down on Netflix. https://support.nordvpn.com/General-info/1596155872/Split-tunneling-What-it-is-and-how-you-can-use-it.htm"

Our Friends In The North is superb. A time when the Beeb actually knew how to make good TV. Daniel Craig will always be Geordie to me. Anyway. Don’t Look Back In Anger.!

"The excellent BBC drama 'Our Friends in the North' is currently being repeated on BBC4 and so is presumably available on the BBC iPlayer. It starred Christopher Eccleston, Gina McKee, Mark Strong and Daniel Craig before they all became stars. Quite a cast. It also featured Malcolm McDowell in an excellent supporting role as a 1960's SOHO pornographer/ gangster. And also Peter Vaughn and David Bradley who later appeared in Game of Thrones. A really top class show which I highly recommend."

I watched Mayor of Kingstown and it was watchable but not much more than that in my opinion. I just didn't get what Jeremy Renner's characters role was? Is he a crook? Is he police? Is he a prison warden? I just can't see what his actual job is and can't believe that whatever role it is exists in real life so for that reason I struggled with really buying in to it even though I watched the whole series and will still watch season 2. Funnily enough I spent 3 months in Toronto this summer as my daughter has just finished filming a movie for Disney and a lot of the crew had worked on The Mayor of Kingstown as that was also filmed there and none of them could really explain what his job was either......everyone was as confused as me!!!

"Dahmer on Netflix. 4 episodes in. Brilliant. Oddly enough, when I typed in ‘dahmer’ it auto corrected to ‘danger’ which has a rather poetic ring to it."

Not sure why people rave about Mayor of Kingstown. Thought it was pretty average with a lot of unnecessary filler.

"Colly, watched Mayor of Kingstown on your recommendation. I looked up the reviews first and they were all terrible, as were the reviews for Yellowstone, also by Taylor Sheridan, and I loved that. Good to see tits on screen again, too. That always perks me up."
