Strange to hear, as it's absolutely forgettable.

I've enjoyed the series it's nothing groundbreaking but some of the twists were a surprise it's,  tinker Taylor soldiers spy compared to the rubbish Charlie Cox show Treason.

Finished The Good Place last night. A really easy to watch, fun show that then absolutely rips your heart out in the last 50 minutes and makes you question everything about your existence.

Yeah I'm really enjoying this, it's from A24 films (Everything Everywhere, Aftersun, The Whale, and lots more). I'm down to the last episode and it gets better and better as it goes along, reminds me a bit of Sympathy for Mr Vengeance in a way.

Man alive....4 episodes in, and it's a hell of a fookin ride...loved the first series, but the arrival of Bren - the da freshly out of nick - has taken it to another level...... tremendous

Theres a Colin Farrell Penguin show on the way too isnt there? Dont know what to make of that. The film was good, if a bit long. But I'm sure there was some sort of adult aimed Batman show a few years back that was awful altogether. These things are probably best left on the big screen (or the page).

A few pages back did someone say they'd tried The Gold and jibbed it? I thought it was ok, quite fascinating really.

One of the best shows on TV that no one seems to watch.

Always surprised when it's given a new series.. Series 3 starts soon.

Finished Pokerface the other day.

First and last episode very good. Started off with a good premise, but the schtick of it turned predictable and, frankly, boring as it slogged away, (that Nick Nolte episode was awful. Also, "oh yeah, she's being chased by a big baddie. Lets show him for 10 seconds at the end of every 4th episode").

Picked up in the last episode tho.

Also finished This Fool.
Had low expectations, hoping for a smile and giggle here and there... barely got that..

Dragged Across Concrete

Movie on Netflix

Had zero expectations as it looked like an 80s rehash of a cop movie. Quite blown away with it. Starts out and I’m not sure where it is going but then becomes a gritty action movie. Totally enjoyed it if you are in the mood for a bit of grit.

Started watching Yellowjackets, it's an odd mix of intriguing storylines and tedious ones, with the tedious ones getting the most screen time. It has plenty of good reviews so hopefully it's just taking its time developing the main characters.

Just finished season 1 of The Detectorists.

No idea how I missed this - had literally never seen a second of it before the start of this week, nor did I really have a clue what to expect. Decided to watch it on a whim because had nothing else to watch and decided that as it’s only half an hour an episode it was no biggie if it was rubbish.

It’s bloody fantastic; the writing and acting are absolutely sublime.

Can’t wait to get started on season 2.

Recently binged all 3 series of this - fabulous show . Regretted that I didn't didn't take my time with it .

Fantastic cast as well , but Toby Jones was born for the part .

I'm a huge David Cronenberg fan, Dead Ringers is one of my favourite films.   When I heard not only were they adapting it for TV they were also changing the Mantel twins from male to female, I was dubious to say least.  Surprisingly,  it's getting some brilliant reviews and is supposed to be gloriously unhinged.

Definitely be giving it a go.
