We are watching it now. Enjoying it too.
Makes a nice change. I guess it was aimed at a young-ish 20-something audience, but also appeals to a wider age group too. Only a couple more episodes to watch.

I would describe it more as a 'young-love romance story', so would probably not have anticipated too much blood, guts and mayhem.
There is no pleasing some people...
Chernobyl has rightly received 14 BAFTA nominations.

If you haven't yet seen this remarkable short series I cannot recommend it highly enough. Simply brilliant in every respect.
So clever my foot fell off.
^^^ Couldn't agree more TFB! Well deserved.
Despite enjoying the past two series of Killing Eve, I am finding the current series (#3) a bit 'take it or leave it'.
The first was certainly the best, series 2 was OK and watchable, this one is still watchable, but so far away from the quality of the original I think it has probably had its day.
Shame, but all good things must come to an end.
Thanks for recommending this. The missus and I started watching and got hooked. Great tension throughout.
We're now at the end of episode 7. Did see your spoiler and now I'm not looking forward to the end as much
Still hoping that it's at least conclusive and not too big of a cliffhanger though.
A friend recommended 'its always sunny in philadelphia' on netflix...long running sitcom about a bunch of slackers who run an Irish bar...dark offensive humour so look away if easily offended but I'm hooked...
We've been watching 'Succession' on NowTV, drama series of a powerful Media empire with a Patriarch running the show with 4 children vying for position to inherit the empire, really well done and lots of twists and turns, quite funny in places too.
Cheers..

Been watching an Australian series called Harrow. It’s a bit of an Australian Dexter.. a medical examiner come serial killer... it does have some really good cliff hangers and captivating to watch the next episode.
Series 2 is on alibi at the moment, but also if you want to binge amazon prime have both series available. Looking forward to what looks like a set up for season 3. It stars Ioan Grufford as the main character.
Not too complex but a good watch.
***spoiler - I also like that there are clues in the opening credits to the story for the series.

When Hodinkee published LVMH's press release announcing that Frédéric Arnault had been named CEO of TAG Heuer, a witty post in the comments called him Roman Roy. His older sister Delphine, who joined the LVMH board at aged 28 is clearly Shiv'.
Not a new one, but I've just started watching 24 all over again.
The novelty of realtime is gone, but it's so long since I watched the first series that it's like watching it for the first time.
Glad to say I'm enjoying it all over again.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
Enjoying The Great, a very funny, still lavishly shot, historical romp about Catherine and her rise to power in the Russian court. Elle Fanning's very good and Nicholas Hoult as Emperor Peter is hilarious.
Yep definitely not for everyone but I rate it highly, I think some of the earlier seasons are the best - have you started from season 1 on Netflix? I know it's still running but I haven't watched any since season 10 as I thought it had lost its way a bit and become repetitive.
The last season was better, the film focus group episode is one of best one of thier's I've seen. But I still agree it's past it's best. It's a problem with all show like that, they end up settling on one or two jokes and keep doing them to death.
Just finished the three seasons of Hannibal on Netflix. Not a new series but it completely escaped my attention the first time 'round. I usually enjoy anything featuring Mads Mikkelsen and he plays a stunning role in Hannibal, that icy stillness and sheer presence is perfect for the part imho.
Cheers,

Just started (well binged 5 episodes today) 'Godfather of Harlem'. It's a prety typical story, but I think that Forest Whitaker is a superb actor and really makes it
I’ve been enjoying “For all Mankind” on AppleTV.
“Imagine a world were the global space race never ended...”.
Excellent! I think Roman is my favourite of the four, I hadn’t realised he was a McCulkin until I noticed in the credits.
I’ve been bingeing on Das Boot lately, really into it.
Cheers..

Current favourites are Chicago PD, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2805096/, and Colony, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4209256/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1. Colony is on Netflix and PD is on Sky GO according to Justwatch UK. Netflix and Prime for me in Aus.
Revisiting "30 Rock" for maybe the fourthtime over the years. A great show and I seem to have a little bit of thing for Tina Fey.
I binge watched 'A Deadly Union' from Walter Presents C4 and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Many didn't seem to like it, but I think S2 was pretty good.

Wanted - Damasko DC57
I’m gripped ! Saving the last episode for this evening.

Can’t wait for Billions - season 5 coming shortly.
convinced the wife to try better call saul,4 episodes in we are both hooked
Just watched the Salisbury Poisonings on iplayer. Only 3 episodes but thought it was really well done. Worth a watch.

Storyville on BBC and iPlayer always has interesting films.
Watched this, this week. Some sad and painful stories.
Storyville, Facing Franco's Crimes: The Silence of Others: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000bynq via @bbciplayer
And tonight watched College Behind Bars, degree programme in NY prisons. Excellent, the power of education.

I thought this was good to, the lady from the council did an outstanding job.
Yeah agree with this really interesting to really get the details of the case and investigation
We've just finished all 8 series of 24. Thought it was really good and well made. Have also watched all the series of Homeland.
What now?
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
Just finished watching Ozark on Netflix. Definitely recommend. Can’t wait for season 4.
Good decision. You'll be pleased to know that it just keeps getting better and better through all five series. I quite envy your ability to binge the whole lot. Be warned that the 6th and final series probably won't be done for 18 months.
Petrolhead Heaven is a nice easy watch - take an iconic car and drive it on a road trip on one of the most iconic or beautiful roads in the world. Only thirty minutes per episode- it’s like a travel show with a cool car.
So clever my foot fell off.
having watched Space force ep1, i can confirm i will not be watching ep2 - its daft
The Sinner is back for another series on Netflix
Bill Pullman was excellent in the first 2 series if you haven't seen it
The Boys 2 starts on Sept 4. on Amazon Prime.
I've just finished 3 seasons of Hap & Leonard. Absolutely worth watching. Like Bosch, based on novels. Any suggestions for another show?
Is it me or did you notice the same: Amazon's shows make good use of great music! With the help of Shazam and Amazon's 'X-Ray status', it's easy to find the title and performing artist! I like that. E.g. in the last episode of Hap & Leonard, atrocious weather played a big part of the story. Music score was by Larry Davis: Texas Flood. A song I'd only heard being played by Stevie Ray Vaughan!

Watched S3 of the Sinner last week and (without giving anything away) it was a little disappointing. However it does explore Harry's (Pullman's) character a bit more and is more "psychological" than the first 2 series, which we really enjoyed.
Tunefind is your friend.
F.T.F.A.
I've just got into 'The Good Fight' on Amazon Prime. It's great!
I recently watched ‘See’ on Apple TV. I thought it was really enjoyable and definitely worth watching.
‘What we do in the shadows’ series 2! Both series are on iPlayer, it’s hilarious.
Unlike Space Force, Upload and Mythic Quest sadly, is there a new genre of unfunny comedies or something?
We watching the Salisbury Poisonings and really enjoyed it.
Jeremy Vine on radio 2 was on about it last week and linked it to The Americans that's on Amazon Prime and said it was very good, so we're 2 episodes in and enjoying that also.
Yeah it is good, usually shown on ch4 they stopped half way through in US
before shutting down.
The americans is one of the best series of all time IMO.
It never took off in this country due to it being shown on itv
I just finished watching all 10 episodes of Space Force with my wife and two grown sons. We all pretty much agreed is was barely watchable. Fortunately, there was just enough nuance from Steve Carell and John Malkovich to make up for the seriously flawed scripts and heavy-handed humor. A major overhaul will be required if a Season 2 becomes reality.
From the trailers it looked promising - ah well back to dear old "Galaxy Quest".
"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action."
'Populism, the last refuge of a Tory scoundrel'.
The Sinner-I’ve seen series one and two and agree they are really good. Just started three now, a handful of episodes in, so far not as good as the previous ones but I’ll definitely stick with it.
I’m part way through Apple TV’s The Morning Show and finding it completely gripping. It’s polished, very well cast and acted, tightly paced, dramatic and intelligent. This one seems to have divided critics in America but four episodes in, I’m having a hard time understanding why - unless it’s the usual reason, that half the critics in America are incredibly dense.
Brilliant show. Loved it
Last Chance U on Netflix, college (American) football and how the system works over there. Interesting viewing.
