Raised by wolves is quite good. First series so much better than the second. Severance on from appletv and directed by Ben stiller is really good and an easy watch. The new Picard series isnt too bad either

Yeah it's been very good... but the Bobby Ewing lets bring him back from the dead... behave... me and the Mrs just looked at each other and burst out laughing... unless it's properly explained in the latter episodes it's a farce

Just started the last series of Gomorrah... first 4 series fucking excellent... 3 episodes in series 5 and it's like some fucked up Dallas Bobby Ewing in the shower moment... WTF... no explanation on how he CAME back to life even though he was last seen bullet riddled at the bottom of the bay.... BULLSHIT

"It's amazing Joe, as with when I now watch the modern magnum and have to listen to the iconic theme tune every time, I had to watch the credits without forwarding them 10 times. Mental, can't wait for the different credits for season 2."

"Grumpster 3:29 Fri Mar 25 James Gunn did those opening credits so you don’t want to skip past them - going against Netflix, Apple etc who do grandiose ones and give you the option to skip. Personally I bloody loved them, but do now have that Wig Wam song embedded in my head on repeat"

"Ipcress File is okay, but not great. Too much homage to the original, including Joe Cole trying to be Michael Caine, and failing badly. Tom Hollander steal the show, as always."

"This will be my first post in a year. A year of mourning. I have been watching mundane stuff to take mind off of things. I'm always late to the party. But fucking hell , Gomorrah is simply first class production and television. Based on a true story. Its crazy the council housing was deemed futuristic and modern an answer to social housing for Italians. They just became estates for mass drug dealing. All the nicknames Lil Monk, the Wizard, Blue Blood, Blue eyes , the King. The twists every episode. How every cսnt that gets to the top gets fucked in a shocking way. The Immortal. The Gulag prison episode. Epic TV. Anyone 50/50 about investing in viewing 5 series of subtitles. Then have no doubt this is 1st class criminal drama TV from true events. Next up the Documentary. Love this thread. All posters on similar wavelength. No politics. No arguments. Just helpful reviews and opinions. My question. I hate dramas apart from crime ones. Will I enjoy Succession ? Has anyone seen Suburra??"
