All three seasons of Mr. inbetween have just turned up on Disney+ today. Becoming a good platform for shows that.

DukeofDevo 8:21 Fri Oct 29 I admit I had to Google that but it seems like Goliath was almost exactly talking about the Sacklers but didn't want the potential lawsuit. Dopesick makes them out to be the scummy cunts they actually are.

I'm currently watching Dopesick on my phone at the gym about Purdue and the Sackler family inventing and promoting Oxycontin criminally. It's a bit strange to be walking slowly on the treadmill (busted pelvis) while actually full of the stuff!

https://www.amazon.co.uk/SAS-Heroes-Authorized-Wartime-History/dp/0241186625 Book is quite brilliant... if you are short of a read deffo worth a butchers... some of the stuff I had to re-read 2 or 3 times to process ... some quite incredible stories... I have finished the War in the Desert part and now onto the Italian camoaign... not sure whether that will be touched in the series (does not look like it)... just hope the BBC do the book and more importantly the people in the Regiment justice

Looks good with a good cast. Let's hope they don't have Reggae music in Cairo.

Reading this book at the moment... thought I had read everything about `The Regiment'... some absolutely incredible stories.... if the new series is half as good as the book it should be some viewing... can't wait... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10143825/SAS-Rogue-Heroes-LOOK-new-BBC-drama-Peaky-Blinders-creator-Steven-Knight.html

"Swiss - Yea agree, went crap a few years ago, but still has enough about it to stick at it. As you say some good characters, plus so much back stabbing and skulduggery, and I do like Wendy!"

Manuel Billions turned to shit after 3 seasons. Didn't jump the shark but ran out of ideas. I miss the supporting characters like Wags and Dollar. Currently watching Paris Police 1900 on BBC. It's excellent especially having spent so much time in Paris through my life. Like I didn't know St Lazare was a prision and La Villette the butchers meat market area. Trying it without the Eng subs but a lot of Parisienne slang.

Manuel 9:10 That’s how I’m feeling with it. Getting stale. I still watch it but they desperately need a new storyline.

"Picked up with Billions again, it's the same old people trying to bring the other one down, but it's still watchable with some good scenes. The next season is the last one, thankfully."

"Maybe I was a bit harsh, but the old man is by a street the best character. I see they are now back to who becomes the new CEO, a storyline that has been done already."

Succession is good but the old man carries the whole show. The other characters are mainly shit.

"I thought bly manor was shit. We’re watching YOU season 3 now, it’s a bit repetitive but still a decent watch. Also only murders in the building, Steve Martin show, a light hearted who done it, but it’s surprisingly good."
