"I gave up with Trigger Point after a few episodes. Despite some decent actors, it was very poor writing. Personally, I wouldn’t bother."

"Sydders - Yea Four lives was a very good BBC drama, also binge watched it which I rarely do these days. If you like BBC/ITV dramas - two others I watched recently that I enjoyed are 'Our House' with the bloke from Line of Duty, Martin someone.. and 'No Return' with Sheridan Smith (also in Four Lives)"

"I can't say I'm totally convinced by Stranger Things. Season 1 was good but on 3 now and sort of watch it when there's nothing else that takes my fancy. Thought Sherwood was excellent and apparently there's a Happy Valley 3 on its way, if it's half as good as the first two it will be super!"

"Just binge watched 4 lives, I got COVID and we are still doing the isolation thing in Australia so im stuck at home!!! Anyway 4 lives is a highly recommended from me! Stephen Merchant gives a fantastic if frightening performance, just his look is suited to an oddball come psychopath character. Also finished the latest series of Peaky Blinders, its ok, a bit long winded at times, just as it gets going and interesting they seem to throw in a long scene that drags it back! Still reckon the first 2 series are on a different level, oh and the ending is disappointing if not a bit shit I thought?"

"Four Lives is good. True story, some familiar faces in it. Yellowstone is on my list, still not got around to it."

"Manuel, stick with it. I didn't fancy it at all and only watched as a friend produced it. Great, albeit northern cast, and very good writing. It's going to get a Bafta or three, that's for sure. Not seen Four Lives, or even heard of it, so I'll look that up. Very much enjoyed the first series of Merchant's Outlaws, again on the Beeb. Not so struck with season 2 though. Seems to me it was rushed as the first series was so successful. Same thing happened with Killing Eve. Brilliant opening series, followed by a very poor season 2, where I gave up after 2 eps. Have you watched Yellowstone? That's a cracker."

"Alfs - I watched the first one but wasn't convinced so packed it in, the northern accents were grating me, maybe I should pick it up? I did watch the BBC mini-series 'Four Lives' about the serial killer in Barking, played by Stephen Merchant, it was good."

"stowie's recommendation got me watching it, but anyone a bit bored by the money dominated premier league should have a look at the bunch of amateurs youtube channel, and in particular the two dorking uncovered series It follows the last two seasons for dorking wanderers in the national league south and their mission of moving one step away from league two. they're led by owner manager marc white and his volunteer management team, marc as you'll find out is quite a character. the first series episodes are much shorter (10-15 minutes normally) so you can get accustomed to the characters very quickly. I loved it and if the club crest makes you suspicious of marc, he's a self confessed wimbledon fan. what you have to take in to account most about this team, is marc started off the side in the depths of park football and has gradually climbed the ladder. I'll attach a link to the first episode...... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kwjWtY6WnNI the channel has covered other teams, but the dorking videos are worth watching first"
