I missed Fargo first time round so if anyone hasn't seen it I thoroughly recommend. A Coen brothers production so you know it's top notch.

"Detectorists is very ,very good. Bridgerton is cultural appropriation in action. With multiple black actors portraying country elite folks in 18th century Bath. Ridiculous!"

"I,Claudius isn't on Britbox. I just took out a free month's trial for it and it's a very poor showing for classic dramas. It's got Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Boys from the Blackstuff, but I was hoping for Singing Detective, Monocled Mutineer, Pennies from Heaven, Edge of Darkness, etc. Don't know what Britbox are playing at really. Maybe they want to rotate stuff in and out so there's always something ""new"", but instead of being a curated outlet for the best of British TV it's a pretty shallow affair really."

"The first two episodes of the Queen's Gambit were good, but I started getting bored with it in episode 3 and I thought episode 4 was really boring! Three more episodes to go, and I'm not sure if I can be bothered to watch them. As someone else pointed out on this thread, the programme suffers from the usual Netflix wokeness (strong female character against the world, unlikeable male characters etc.)"

"Oh, and what a cast of thespians I,Claudius has might I add. Derek Jacobi, Sian Phillips, Brian Blessed, George Baker, Margarat Tyzack and the wonderful John Hurt and Patrick Stewart in supporting roles. Even Christopher Biggins turns up to do a turn as a camp Nero. Brilliant cast, haha."

"Hermit Road 6:04 Mon Jan 4 Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls I'm watching it through the now 'old fashioned' way, through a DVD boxset. It is strange that it's not on any on the streaming sites. I haven't bothered with Britbox, perhaps it's on there? I know it's repeated occasionally on BBC4."
