Yep, I think it's on iPlayer so will download the next one. The ranty political bit was overdone in the first episode but I'm hoping it reached a change in direction at the end of the episode.

I watched The Gold recently which is about the Brink's-Mat robbery. Apparently, a second series has been commissioned which confuses me, because there was only one robbery.
Anyway, one thing I learnt is that half the gold has never been accounted for and at least three of the robbers were never caught. Maybe one day the full story will be told.

Now watched episode 2 of The Way. It still feels like something put together as a project by film students. I couldn’t quite work out why they used Monmouth as a substitute for Cheltenham especially when filming it in the town square that is pretty recognisable. A bit of nepotism from Sheen with his cousin in one role.
Less Leftie Union ranting this time but it is still pretty unsubtle political commentary. It also feels like a bit of an acid trip at times and I’m half expecting it to end with it having all been someone’s dream. Really still not sure what to make of it.

I guess it was discussed here before, but I've just watched series 1 of Kin. Enjoyed it suffiecently to try series 2.

Bill Bailey Pub walks.
Also has the same music as the Movistar cycling documentary.

Enjoyed One Day on Netflix a lot more than I thought I was going to.

The Gentlemen
Gray
Both on Netflix. First slightly bonkers but good fund. The second intriguing

rewatching the all ER series on Channel 4… just as good as 30 years ago… it really aged well. You’d only notice it’s not recent because of the lack of smart phones.

villain in series two is almost as good as the villain in series one… the finale is somewhat underwhelming though

Undoubtably going to be a series three though which will open up more villains.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

probably.. I found the finale a bit obvious… the killer actor is a big shot and to that point his role had been pretty much inexistent in the series, so I expected him to have his moment. Some loose ends, not quite sure what Michael’s dughter is doing in this series, seems like a pointless character. Overall fewer murders than in series one, after a promising start in episode one… it dragged on a bit and was saved by the superb acting of the villain.

Bosch if you've never watched them - you'll probably struggle to get them all in within the trial though. Best thing there's been on Prime IMHO.

The Boys. It's great from season 1, ep1, scene 1.
Jack Ryan is nonsense where the good guy seems to commit a lot of war crimes.
Citadel is an even higher level of nonsense.
Fargo is all on there now too if you haven't already.

The Boys is the best watch on Amazon.
The Grand tour specials are on there along with James May’s travel series.

Slow Horses is worth the effort. Superb.
Not watched anything else on there, I've got one month left of my free offer.

Severance is the best thing that's been released on Apple TV.

The reviews of the Dick Turpin spoof were pretty good.

Anyone watched This Town? I quite fancy giving it a go but haven’t heard anyone mention it.

Slow horses is great
Lessons in Chemistry was enjoyable
Ted Lasso hit the spot (it's not really about the football)
Dick Turpin thing: you could see what they were trying to do, but they should have tried harder
Black Bird, serviceable
Big door prize, worth a look
Mythic quest, if you've ever worked with software houses, series 1 and 2 are on point.

I’m 5/6 through it. I was drawn in by the 2 Tone element but to be honest that hasn’t really materialised. It’s a good tale of period struggle including racism, gangland action and IRA elements. Some of the dialogue is a bit too Tommy Shelby which has been annoying but overall, I’ve enjoyed it.

A thumbs up for me for Slow Horses on Apple and Bosch on Prime.

Just finished The Gentlemen. Bit of a mix of Gangs Of London, Breaking Bad (to the point of having the bloke who plays Gus being a caricature of that character) and Downton Abbey with a large dose of Guy Richie cliches (travellers, boxers, Wast End gangsters, Vinnie Jones…). I really enjoyed it.

Episode 4 or maybe 5 of Gray on Netflix and I've completely lost interest.

Has anyone tried the new 'Red Eye' drinking game? Every time someone watching says "that would never happen" the entire room has to take a drink.
By the end of the second break I was beginning to enjoy it and by the start of episode 2 I'd forgotten how bad episode 1 was.

I quite liked the first series, I forget now, how many series were there - 3?
I made it through the penultimate series, and started the final series, but couldn't agree more, it was running on fumes by then and should have been killed off a series early, it was p1ss poor.
I too abandoned it maybe 2 or 3 episodes in, there was some episode where she went on some killing spree on a campsite, and at that point it was definitely time to bin it.
Not many series I have abandoned mid way through.
Don't recall the alleged critics panning it though, almost like it could not be criticised in anyway shape or form.
