As for Graham's accent, catch up with White House Farm where he plays DCI Taff Jones. Hilarious Welsh accent
I’m enjoying this too!

Brawn, docu series starring Keanu Reeves is on Disney+
Binge watched Kin on iPlayer - really enjoying it.
Does it get any better than the first episode as we stopped the first episode before it finished?

another vote for 'bodies' , i like a good time travel / paradox tale and this is one of the better done ones.
I've found it gripping - will be watching the last episode (of Kin on iPlayer) later this afternoon
Update - I've just watched the final episode of series one and feel sure there will be a series two. It was really good.

We're liking Kin too.
Payback was pretty good.
Not sure about Boat Storey - Episode 1 was good. We're part way through episode 2 & it's gotten very weird. I do like Daisy Haggard though.

Foundation on Apple TV, just finished Season 1 and looking forward to Season 2. Extra thumbs up for Lou Llobell too.
There is a series 2 as I've already watched it!
And if you like Irish crime drama, Love/Hate, if it's not already been mentioned, better than Kin Imo.
Excellent news about Kin S2 - I'll check out Love/Hate too
Where did you find S2 of Kin please? It's not on iPlayer.

Wanted - Damasko DC57
It's on the RTE equivalent.
______
Jim.
Is it RTE player? If so, I cannot find it
Aah, one needs to VPN to Ireland to access. Thanks!
The railway Men on Netflix about the Bopal disaster is a great watch.
It's been mentioned but Slow Horses (Apple TV) was enjoyable.
It starts out badly.
Man in a smart suit furrows brow, touches ear and starts yelling loudly while chasing a suspect as a woman in a smart suit in some kind of TV-only imagination of a spy command centre stares up at a large bank of monitors and furrows her brow while barking commands at underlings who... etc etc. You've seen it so often before you are initially left wondering if was written by an intern entering the prompt "generic spy plot" into a beta version of ScriptGPT.
But then Gary Oldman arrives flatulently like a cross between George Smiley and Sir Les Patterson, and it all settles down to some actual plot and characters. Not great, not bad, just enjoyable while it unfolds.

Just started to watch “Person of Interest” which is a few years old, on prime.
Missed it on its original run but quite enjoying it (watched 15 episodes in 5 nights lol)
Basically, a computer (“the machine”) churns out a social security number related to a death, and a computer guy with access to the numbers recruits an ex cia spook to try and save the innocent person who will die (not necessarily the person who’s number is churned out……..)
New number every week and an underlying long story about the two protagonists histories.
Solid 7.5/10
Another vote for kin

This is superb, one of my favourites
I watched it a few years back. It gets a a bit samey therefore a bit cheesy but I did sit it out
Just finished "Archie: the man who became Cary Grant" a 4 part biopic on ITVX. Thought it was really well done and Jason Isaacs in the title role was brilliant.
Really enjoyed it, especially if you're a certain age and enjoyed watching his films in your youth.

Vinnie Jones In The Country.
It's pretty fun but as mentioned it's gets a bit repetitive BUT it has Sarah Shahi (worth an extra 1 on your score just for that i reckon)
She was also in Life with Damian Lewis which is quite old but entertaining enough
Not new, but The Thick of it is on Iplayer now.
A superb political satire.
Cheers,
Neil.
Real politics is more satirical these days TBH - certainly a case of "Life imitating Art" but l'll leave further comment for elsewhere on this Forum
Lawman: Bass Reeves.
Really not at all bad. More entertainment than history, and treads more lightly that it perhaps should have done over the touchy subject of a black ex-slave, deputy marshall rounding undesirable white folks at the point of a six shooter. On Paramount, unfortunately.
I quite like this series too
Sorry, I posted this in a rush and was going to write a little more.
For those that enjoy Clarksons Farm, this will be right up your street. So far it's looking at least as good, it might actually be better.
S3 of Slow Horses starts today on Apple TV
Good spot! We enjoyed the first two series of that.S3 of Slow Horses starts today on Apple TV
Squid games the recreation, even weirder than the original. better than I'm a Celebrity.
Yay! Thanks for the heads up!S3 of Slow Horses starts today on Apple TV

Very much enjoying the Irish gangster drama KIN with the first series on iplayer.
I Claudius
Hard to believe it was made in 1976,absolutely fascinating and hard not to watch it all in one go.
Finished the first series of KIN last night. I thought that it was a excellent drama and cant wait to see the 2nd series
I wil try to find Love/Hate based on the recommendation here, thanks cbh
Watched the first 2 episodes of Vinnie Jones In The Country. Not overly impressed with it, he starts off with a massive contradiction 'it's not all about flash cars and what we have' and proceeds to drive
on to his massive farm in a brand new Bentley. Lovely countryside, but I think he's a bit of a Prick, so not for me thanks
Apple TV - Severance
Enjoyed this muchly. Trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEQP4VVuyrY
Also on Apple:
Foundation - based on the books by Isaac Asimov. Does a decent job of getting the book to screen as best they can.
Silo - pretty good. post apocalyptic population in a silo with many unanswered questions.
Just finished Brawn - The Impossible Formula 1 Story. Very enjoyable, but I was a massive Jenson Button fan.

Wanted - Damasko DC57
Just finished Snowfall on iPlayer, first couple of episodes were not my thing but a mate told me to persevere and we’ve smashed through all 6 series in about 4-5 weeks.
Just binged watched Breeders over the last week or so. Really enjoyed it and scary how I recognise so many of the situations. Loved it!

Just watched "A murder at the end of the world" on Disney+ - quite good and 4 episodes in so far.
I thought it was very good - I especially liked the early seasons but the later ones enjoyable too
Wifey and I enjoyed this series, binged on it two weekends ago!
Have you watched all of series 1? I believe there are 7 episodes in total and currently awaiting the 5th instalment on Disney+ this week.
Slow Horses is wonderful and Gary Oldman is outstanding.
Eddie
Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
Have just finished the first series of Slow Horses and agree that it’s superb. The fact that the Oldman character looks, sounds and behaves like an ex-colleague adds to the enjoyment.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Just finished watching Irving Walsh’s CRIME on ITV iPlayer. Dougray Scott is immense also Ken Stott stars throughly enjoyed it.
He plays the role exactly as it’s written too. I picked up the first slough house novel for 99p on my kindle thinking “holiday read, if it’s crap investors only wasted 99p”. Within two pages I was hooked and impressed with Mick Herrons writing ability. Superb.
