A few people have recommended me that, think a couple on here reckon it's up my street. Is it on iplayer?

Not sure, I’ve got them all on sky planner,   It’s a BBC production and was on bbc2

All of Detectorists is on iPlayer (or was two or three weeks ago when I watched it). Great show.

Anyone watching Diane Morgan’s Mandy? Funny stuff.

Now on Stateless on Netflix and it’s pretty harrowing/relevant.

I thought Dark was great. Final series was a proper head-f* but I eventually got what was happening...by the final episode IIRC!

Have found a new love for subtitled foreign series.
If you like that sort of thing check out The Money Heist on Netflix - REALLY good Spanish series (3 so far) with great characters.

Gomorrah is a great foreign subtitled series

Decided to binge on the detectorists. Lovely gentle comedy which for some strange reason always reminds me of Glastonbury.  Great cast and really well written 

Great show, I’ve seen 2 seasons, was there a 3rd?

Almost completed The Sopranos after starting it at the beginning of lockdown. Deservedly held up as the GOAT. Didn't expect it to be so hilarious throughout.

Pine Barrens is one of the finest comedy episodes of the 00s.

Yes the peaky music is superb, and for us of another generation life on Mars also has excellent music!

I thought I was the only person who watched that (which would explain the low viewing figures). I remember really enjoying it.

Have you watched Corporate? Similar in that its set in a big soulless corporation, but so so much bleaker. Very darkly funny though

I have not, might check it out. Ta

Midway through Season 4.

Anxiety levels: stratospheric 

This is a GOAT show.  No idea why its not talked about in the same terms as The Sopranos, Mad Men, Breaking Bad etc

Because it’s better than those three, hardly anyone watched it at the time but critics always adored it and got some awards love late on. See also, The Leftovers. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'm clearly in the 'didn't watch it at the time' demographic. Probably buried on some mad UK channel at 2am.

[HeyPorter]

Embarrassingly demoted to ITV Encore for the last few seasons 11pm-ish, wasn’t aired too far behind the States though.

Yep completely blindsided me this morning this. To think he was going through it during filming for all those big Marvel films is crazy. Very sad.

Hoorah, thanks. Just rounding off season 7 of agents of SHIELD so good to have something to move onto, although I might do Snowpiercer in-between

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that setting a series record for top of the pops on bbc4 has changed my life 

[Ayrshire Chris]

Sky arts tonight, Saturday. Heads up for us old 70s rockers. Deep purple, Jethro Tull, Metallica, Lynrid Skynrid documentaries back to back.  Would be perfect watching them in this shed.

Was just about to post to say that we finished Cobra Kai last night. It's a load of nonsense but thoroughly entertaining nonsense   Bring on season 3!
