Can anyone recommend The Outsider? I recently read the book and the series is up on sky on demand.
Sorry to be a dissenting voice here, but I wouldn't recommend it. Started very strong, turned mediocre, finished very weak. I never read the book though, so if you really enjoyed that your experience may differ.

Yeah it's good, quite a few on here said the same.

Some of the football bits annoyed me as not sure a PL club would be like that in real life, but it didn't stop it being enjoyable.

Yeah seen it. One of the best shows this year. Starts off a little shaky, but really picks up and gives you that warm fuzzy feeling. Would definitely recommend.

waded through the crown and for me the whole series was lazy from the script to the production to sadly the acting , the girl playing Diana was woeful , the lad playing charles was like some cartoon version , the royal family as a whole came across as selfish towards each other and spitting image had.more depth of character than this production, as for Thatcher my god what was Gillian Anderson doing in that role? The scene cooking kedgeree for the cabinet was laughable for me the only character that was believable was The Duke of Edinburgh

Quite enjoyed Industry on the BBC iplayer, Probably as I've spent a few years working in banking so it was an interesting watch.

Some rather explicit sex scenes though so avoid if that's not your thing.

Quite enjoying this but I'm not entirely sure why. They're all horrible, horrible bellends who I would hate to spend any time with in 'real life'.

It's very watchable though and I've watched 6 episodes so far so it must have something about it. Yaz is ridiculously hot as well, which helps.

Kidman annoyed me! The rest were very good.

Ending was a bit subdued but actually felt decent not to have had some big reveal out of nowhere: I was throwing out a lot of incorrect predictions right up to the last five minutes.

Is this not at all popular in the UK? Because everyone on continental Europe and in the US seems to love it.

Too close to home?

That might be the case. We're still living with this slug institution. That Aberfan episode was definitely too close to home for my family at least.

Its very watchable. The lead is one of biggest c*nts on any TV show. That can apply to all the supporting cast as well.

If you start from Episode 1 it is completely brilliant. It was always my late night TV coming home late after playing on a soccer team and a few beers to wind down with. Definitely gets a bit overplayed in the later series, but the first several series are completely brilliant.

Charlie in real life went to some uber posh boarding school that his mum was a teacher at. He also did some graduation speech for a college somewhere and its on youtube, its excellent.

All episodes of the final season of Tin Star (Liverpool) are out tomorrow.

Good watching Tim Roth hamming it up as a complete nutjob.

Really looking forward to watching it. Only problem is that me and the Mrs will sit there every episode going "oh, that's so and so place" etc etc.
