Just finished the new season of Hannah on Prime, very watchable.
Would also thoroughly recommend Dopesick - outstanding TV
I watched Valley of Tears about the Yom Kippur war pretty much in a single splurge. Some really strong parts, some other story lines less so. Good, worth watching.
All4 - the frequency, length and quality of the commercial breaks really makes hour long episodes hard to watch. C4 generally has gone to the dogs, awful these days.

Goliath on Amazon Prime.
Billy-Bob Thornton as a disgraced attorney who takes on a case to get back at the company he was a partner in.
Just watched the first series, looking forward to starting the next tonight!
Currently watching Season 3 of Titans on Netflix. If you enjoyed the first 2 this is just as good.

Nearly finished Landscapers, the actual storytelling is a little odd but wow, Olivia Colman is a fantastic actress. One of the greatest we've ever had.
SHOWTRIAL
Excellent BBC murder/legal drama in 5 hours; hooked me pretty quickly.

dopesick - 8/10 - great series and cast , about the opiod crisis in the U.S specifically around oxycontin.
Open All Hours
On Gold, series 1 from 1976. Classic Ronnie Barker.
The art of the double entendre has been lost forever it seems, but this was a high point...
Surprisingly Hawkeye on Disney turns out to be one of the better Marvel spin offs, based on the first few episodes. Crucially, he’s introduced as more of a mentor than a main character, giving him a washed up, grumpy, slightly Bill Murray vibe. ‘You have a branding problem’, his new sidekick observes, a knowing nod to his minor league superhero status. But they’ve figured out how to work with that, also by setting it in New York at Christmas, full of lush sparkling photography, making for easy festive comfort food.
Also really enjoyng Hawkeye... it has a bit of that Diehard/Christmassy vibe going for it certainly...plus Clint not having any actual superpowers makes it all a bit more real maybe.
Another nod to Hawkeye, great series.
As a family we've just binge watched the new Monsters Inc series on Disney as well, really good, and all the better for having the proper voice actors for the original characters too, the TV shows can sometimes cheap-out there.
Struggling for other new stuff. Tried that Hellbound on NetFlix which started OK but I found it a bit of a yawn fest a couple of episodes in.
Chucky is worth a watch. I've never been into the movies (I've probably seen most of them in bits and pieces while channel hopping) but actually the series is good, laughs and gore in equal measure.
The new Dexter series is fantastic! It started with a bang, drifted a bit, but is now in full swing! Only 4 episodes left and I find myself urging Mondays to come a bit quicker.
Tomorrow is the new series of The Witcher. For some reason they are putting all 8 episodes on together, I'll have to be careful to space those out a bit and not binge it all this weekend.
Next week is The Book of Boba Fett too, we're being spoiled.
The Outer Limits.
Not being shown until IIRC 7th January on Talking Pictures TV.
A series fondly remembered from the '60's, rather like The Twilight zone but a bit more Sci Fi.
I'm looking forward to it.
Cheers,
Neil.
Mr Inbetween on Disney +, Aussie black comedy about a hitman and balancing personal and crime lives.
Three seasons of 25min episodes apart from the killing people bit he’s a character I warmed too
The Expanse Season 6 is back on Amazon. The best Space Sci Fi series ever in my eyes, the books are even better!
I’ve just watched all of the Witcher series 1 again this week, which is the 3rd time, very rare I watch anything twice let alone three times. Amazing how much you pick up each time. Very much like GOT, where you miss out so much 1st time around. Shame they are showing them all straight away as I won’t be able to help myself!
Gomorrah starts again Saturday - plus there’s a documentary about it beforehand.
Probably been said a lot is Succession is fantastic. Can't stop watching it.
Not exactly a series but if you have Disney then watch ‘The Rescue’. The documentary about the rescue of the 13 Thai boys trapped in the cars a few years ago.
Talk about Heroes…

just finished the second series of the witcher , better than the first series 9/10 -would not be surprised at all if this develops the same sort of following as games of thrones.
It already has, mostly in Eastern Europe.
I had my ass handed to me when I told someone it had developed off the back of a video game franchise... I had no idea the novels went back almost 30 years!
I'm 2 episodes in and trying to be good and space them out. Fantastic so far though, I wish I'd gone back to rewatch S1 before S2.
Really quite enjoying Hawkeye on Disney + , more than I thought I would.
Cheers..

Not watched it yet, but season 5 of Gomorrah is on Sky Atlantic now.

watching the Witcher now, its good but feel 8 episodes is way to short. I have a few more to watch and it feels like its just getting going, what happened to a good old fashioned 25+ episode series!
Hawkeye is decent viewing.
The wheel of time is ok, but again is very short, I believe the finale is this week.
Definitely, try the books as well they’re amazing!

Looking for a series to watch either on catch-up, SkyMax or Netflix. Something along the lines of 24 would be good, any ideas out there? (not Strike Back!)
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
If you're looking for something light hearted and funny, I can recommend "Ghosts" on BBC iPlayer. It's created by and stars the "Horrible Histories" team.
I think there are 3 series, each with 6 episodes.
Prime.
Wheel of time.
Very good, first series, 8 episodes.
Worth a go. Looking forward to any follow ups.

We've finished Gomorrah Season 5 now.
Pretty good, except the very end was disappointing.
