    Aye. More stuff like The Mandalorian and Andor, less stuff like Book Of Boba Fett and Kenobi.

    I enjoyed Boba but it wasn't great to be fair, Kenobi was below par. The Mandalorian is a classy show but quite a way off Andor's quality for me. Andor's the only Star Wars show I'd recommend to people who don't like SW as a rule.

    I'm just watching the 'Allo 'Allo documentary. Now I vividly remember this as a load of old toss, but when you go through the catchphrases...

    Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once.

    Black Bird on Apple tv is quality. Picking up the baton that Mindhunter dropped.

    Aren't they finally making a new series after years of saying they weren't going to?

    I've just finished watching Andor and really enjoyed it.

    I've not watched any of the other Star Wars series. Tried watching The Mandalorian and to be honest I was a bit bored after a couple of episodes. May have just been in the wrong frame of mind and need to revisit it.

    Not that I've heard but I hope so. Classy show.

    To be fair it's downhill all the way from Andor, I've seen the lot and it's by far the best thing Disney have made. The Mandalorian isn't bad the second series picks up if you've got the patience to get that far.

    I must have imagined it cause I was convinced I'd read something about there being a turnaround but looking online it's more likely to never happen.

    Did anyone watch Happy Valley on the BBC? See the 3rd series has just started trying to get the wife to watch series 1 and 2 as I re-watch them before doing the 3rd. Was very good imo!

    If anyone else is like me I'm a streamer all the way don't even have a TV aerial anymore. I watch shows when they are there to at least binge the series! But one place I probably neglect is the from the terrestrial channels BBC, ITV, even channel 4 have had some great stuff I have watched but feel like I probably miss more good stuff than I have seen due to netflix etc...

    I’ve just started watching ITVX probably enough on there to keep me going for 3 months.

    I really enjoyed the first 2 seasons of Happy Valley (which is anything but happy, it's grim in Yorkshire), and watched S03E01 the other day. The only down side to season 3 though is that these days I just want to binge watch a show. Waiting a week between episodes is painful.

    I also enjoyed watching Wednesday recently on Netflix, but for perhaps some of the wrong reasons ;)

    I saw it the other day and looks like there is some decent new stuff without going over some of the older stuff. I need a job that
    I agree mate that's why I haven't started ot yet the odd time I watch a show on a week by week basis does my head in, the old man on Disney was the most recent.

    What reasons would they be mate? It was a decent show anyway I thought.

    On the plus side David Fincher's supposed to be working on a Chinatown tv series as a prequel to the Jack Nicholson film. Could be cool.

    I've mentioned For All Mankind further up.

    It's overtaken The Expanse for me as the best sci- Fi show ever made.

    Absolutely everyone should watch this. It's magnificent.
