    Just finished watching it and found it surprisingly enjoyable. Daughter recommended it so gave it a try. Obviously some parts are staged just for a laugh, but it gives a good insight into the problems faced by farmers and the amount of work they have to put in.

    My Dad was saying he read somewhere that Clarkson has done more for farming since the show than the government ever has. I like Clarkson as I grew up on top gear, grand tour etc. But yeah, I've just stated series 3 and I'm enjoying it.

    I like almost everything Flanagan has made but I thought Usher was pretty bad, it was like an awkward ripoff of Succession. Midnight Mass was his best for me, loved that one. Haunting of Hill House was great too.

    Yeah she's always great. I never have any complaints about the casting and acting even in the stuff of his I didn't like, he's got a great ensemble.

    Good luck to him filming that one, won't be easy. He'll have the budget for it at least.

    Mrs K and me have just finished Beyond Paradise, a spin-off of Death In Paradise. Suspend reality and it’s just a nice feel good series.

    Class to see the old Dexter back, and not the wimpy version of the character that was in New Blood. It helps that Batista is back too.

    First series of Andor was great, up there with some of the best. Second series seems like more of the same but for some reason it's boring. Not sure why, the quality hasn't dropped but it's no longer interesting.

    Shrinking S2 has gone the other way and taken a top S1 and made it better. Great show for striking a balance between drama and comedy.
