Shogun is where it's at. Reminds me of my first trip to Japan.

True Detective Night country- as mentioned, pretty dreadful and couldn’t finish it. Ep 1 showed some early promise

I thought you already said you stopped watching after ep 4, or are you saying you watched the penultimate episode but then decided not to watch the end?

No, not sure where you're getting that from. I do know what happened though cause my pal told me

Usually I complete stuff but eps 3 & 4 were so shite I lost all desire to finish it. Also based on what I heard the ending was I made the right decision. Won't put spoilers here but sounded like a load of shite.

Your pal has poor taste then 😘

Just finished The Gentlemen. I really enjoyed it. Its very Guy Ritchie, if you like his stuff chances are you will like this, if you don't you will hate it.

Watched the first episode the other night with my other half and your summary was very true to life - she decided very quickly that it would be one that I'd be watching on my own!

[philipsteak]

New Taskmaster already!

Looks like a great cast.

I think Sophie Willan will baffle Greg even more than Lucy Beaumont did last series. Potential for utter chaos from her.

Mandy!

Proper laugh out loud at her saying about what the lady in aisle f had done in the toilet.

Finally catching up with the second season of Time, with Jodie Whittaker. Another outstanding, bleak set of episodes.

I’m new to Netflix… and just binged all 62 episodes of Breaking Bad in a few weeks. Not seen it before. Loved every single frame.

I've only just started on it, having watched a couple of episodes years ago.  At the time I didn't care if everyone in it died, but finding it more interesting now. 

[fred quimby]

Loved baby reindeer.  Very sad really but very watchable 

[MrZigster]

The final episode of Young Sheldon kicked me in the feels a bit.

I ditched breaking bad again found that I felt such utter contempt for them both I couldn't watch another 3 series merely hoping that they both died 😊

 

I've since watched Made up adventures of d*ck Turpin, Rain Dogs, Mandy s3, House of Ninjas, Will Trent S2, Renegade Neil, Taskmaster, Fallout and just into S2 of Inside Number 9.

[steviewevie]

Scavenger's Reign is where it's at

[clarkete]

Don't want to trigger anyone but I'm 4 episodes into Avolyte, will keep watching and certainly prefer it to some of their other stuff.  Took me too long to spot Dafne Keen. 

 

Latest series of Misadventures of Romesh, only 3 episodes and not sure I've seen his travelogues before, but thought he was a great guide - open to discuss some challenging stuff and new experiences, but funny too. 

 

Mr and Mrs Smith took me a while to catch up...will be interested to see what they do in S2.

 

Bodkin on Netflix, 7 episode murder, mystery, black comedy set in Ireland.  One of my recent favourites as there's plenty in the story to keep you engaged, it's funny and some great characters too.

A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.  Filmed in Axbridge in Somerset, good cast (central character was a co star in Wednesday), interesting little mystery, short and sweet. 

 

Supacell - another one that's only 6 episodes but packs a lot in.  Story drawa you in, moves at a swift pace and has a cracking soundtrack. 

 

We are lady parts season 2 - I love it and them, bless them. 

 

Turkish Detective - great setting and atmosphere, variety of good characters. As with most cop shows sometimes you want to shout at them not to do stupid thing x

 

Magpie Murders - Lesley Manville in an investigation split across two timelines - very clever the way they do it too 

 

Death and Other Details - one review summed it up well - "A nice combo platter of The White Lotus paired with a Knives Out mystery and a Succession chaser" 

 

Sunny - Rashida Jones and a dysopian mystery in Japan. 

[MilkyJoe]

Currently on season 4 of The Boys after ignoring it for the past few years. Definitely hooked. after that it's The Acolyte and Yellowstone.
