Thank you for the recommendations. I was pleasantly surprised to find a copy of The Gabble in the library and am enjoying that. Having been fully immersed in the Culture it is interesting getting my head around a different society.
I did enjoy that (weren't there two or am I thinking of something else?). It is good to know there was a book behind it. I'll put that on the list too.
I watched it a couple nights ago. I stopped after 55 minutes...very disappointing. I found it boring, convoluted, and too heavy into native American (Eskimo) customs, lifestyle, and mystique. Although RT critics rate it "fresh," audiences rate it "rotten."
In past few months I’ve enjoyed:
The bear
Dark
Succession
The wire
Ozark
Looking forward to trying the new true detective
Just finished the last episode of Fargo series 5 which is on Prime - I really enjoyed it and reflects the Coen Bros style - Ole Munch character was excellently played by Sam Spurgell and having just read a final review of the series, puts a satisfying understanding of his character.
'Loudermilk' is one of the funniest things we've seen for a long time.
Netflix - World War II: From the Front lines is phenomenal. Fantastic remastered footage from all sides, excellent narration. Totally worth a weekend binge watch.
Started watching Criminal Record last night on Apple TV plus
UK crime/police corruption drama starring Peter Capaldi. 2 Episodes in and I think its pretty good
life on Mars and ashes to ashes on bbc iplayer

Half way thru Based On a True Story and enjoying the fun ride about True Crime fanatics, bit like Only Murders in Building.
Have binged the 1st of two seasons of White Gold on Netflix. Light relief, short eps., and a superb 80s soundtrack.
Only issue is two of the Inbetweeners lads are in it and it's SO hard not to forget their characters from that - especially Jay.
But good fun anyway and recommended for an easy watch on cold nights. Helps the main character's wife is sensational too. 8/10
The latest series of Fargo on Prime is excellent, so many great characters, and beautifully put together too.
Another positive nod for 'Boy Swallows Universe' (Netflix).
We have one more episode left, but we have really enjoyed it so far.
Its a great mix of Ozzie humour, a dark but comedic tale, great characters plus all well acted and very enjoyable to watch. Some parts have a 'Hunt for the Wilderpeople' vibe about them (the Prison Kitchen escape), so if you enjoyed that film then its worth giving this a try too.
Long ago I watched the series Rich Man, Poor Man. I think it was Nick Nolte's star-making role. I believe it's available on Amazon Prime.
Outstanding series!

Just done Reacher 1 & 2. Loved them, some great threads through them and funny.
Pitch
Late to the party (as usual) after completing “Person of Interest” and REALLY enjoying it (especially the way that the last series rounds out the story and characters, a lot of series don’t always really “End”) we’ve dipped into the Amazon “bargain bin” and discovered Bosch.
Very enjoyable detective series’, already near the end of series 2.
just finished season 5 of fargo , quirky as ever and another great season.
Apologies if it’s been mentioned previously. The Last Kingdom. Wasn’t expecting much but did enjoy
Masters of the Air in AppleTV, off to a good start!
Ghosts of Beirut-4 part drama. Excellent.
I really enjoyed Griselda on Netflix. The real-life spiral of the cocaine godmother from Columbia to Miami.
just binged KIN of BBC, Irish Narco; very good
Fargo (all of them) are excellent
most of the way through Griselda and enjoying that
also getting through 'The Kaminsky Method' on Netflix - quirky comedy with Michael Douglas as an aging acting coach. Very good cast and something a little different from the normal stuff. It's been around for a few years but i stumbled across it on a random search. short & amusing episodes; worth a try
Over the past fortnight, my wife and I binge-watched all 4 seasons of The Killing - the US version with Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman (C4). Really enjoyed it - though there were some places (S1/2) where we thought it dragged a bit.
Tried out a couple of episodes of Mr & Mrs Smith with Donald Glover (Prime) - not sure....might come back to it. Started Griselda last night - which looks good and will continue.
Unfortunately ITV’s “Trigger” is not an Only Fools and Horses spin-off. I got excited for a moment.
Half finished with Who Is Erin Carter? Excellent.
Griselda on Netflix a must for any Don Winslow fans.
All eight episodes of the second series of KIN are now on iPlayer. One episode in and it's as gripping as the first series :)
I may be incredibly childish, but I'm loving the new prequel series of 'Ted'
Mr and Mrs Smith on Prime is treat so far, four episodes in. Likeable characters with great chemistry, very stylish, lovely photography and locations, some action and espionage on the side, what more do you need?
