All three seasons of Ted Lasso are absolutely charming.

Really enjoyed it. Similar type feel to The Detectorists for a simple story well told by mostly nice lovable characters.

Apparently there will be no more and it leaves on a high.

Thanks to Armchair expert for starting the thread, Ive just finished watching Guilt. A great show all available on iplayer or uktv

Thought Id post in here as it deserves more attention. 

A comedy drama set in Scotland starring Mark Bonner

Anyone missing Mindhunter should give Through the Darkness a go on Netflix. In a similar vein and deals with the formation of a Behavioural Analysis Team in South Korea.

I'm about four episodes in and it's been really enjoyable so far, definitely worth watching at least the first two/three episodes to see if it's your kind of thing.

Nice surprise to see John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats in one of the episodes as well :D
Might give it a go this weekend and watch with the Mrs.

For my next Instalment of British Dramas that everyone as probably already seen or wont be watching.

Malpractice on ITV is pretty good, Medical drama with and interesting plotline and stars the wonderful Niamh Algar.
Only 5 episodes so its well paced too.

Really enjoyed it, they did the in-joke mockery of hockey/men better than well, the recurring gags are still funny in the last episode, the women are deployed in plentiful objectifying slo-mos, but are the bosses of the men.

Quite a few good laugh aloud moments...

Anyone seen the trailer for the new/old Blackadder unseen pilot on Gold next week? Had no idea there was one till recently, apparently it was lost. In the 5 second clip I've seen he is much more like Edmund from Blackadder 2, than the one he ended up playing in the first Blackadder.

Has anyone watched Swagger on Disney?

It's about a high school-aged basketball team, but it's at an elite level. I have whizzed through it in a week - thought it was really, really good. It is set in early 2020 just before COVID, so it deals with that and touches on so many delicate and important issues. It really surprised me how good this was yet how under the radar it appears to be.

I'd normally skip over this kind of show arogantly, pass it off as something targeted at younger people but it's stunning in parts. S2 coming end of this month, which I am absolutely buzzing for!

Would urge people to give it a watch!

I really liked it for the first... half? of the series and then I started to get the feeling they'd been renewed and that things were being stretched out.

haven't watched this yet so can i ask a question?

some of these 'my story' shows can come across as conceited and egotistic - basically self aggrandising telling 'us' how wonderful they are/were

is this like that?

Not at all as far as I'm concerned. It's also about quite a few other people. His old man is the manager of Northampton Town, lads at school who dont like him, teachers, family.
