    I enjoyed Archive 81, it's different and pulled off an ambitious story pretty well. I thought the bloke playing the main character was good.

    Left a lot up in the air for a second series then they cancelled it.
    Silly, a good watch for a single series.

    Can't stand Netflix for this! I find I'm.out off starting something now unless it's a limited series as so many things get cancelled by them when it's been left wide open!

    If my kids didn't watch it pretty much daily I'd cancel it.

    It's been a while but I think at the time I watched it I did so on the expectation it would be a one off series, not because it wasn't good quality or well received, but it didn't seem to have much buzz about it and I know what Netflix is like for cancellations.

    From memory it wrapped things up well enough for it to be treated as a one season limited series. Good show that, interesting blend of (some of my favourite) genres and well written/acted.

    I thought I'd give 'Mr Bigstuff' ten minutes ...

    ... I lasted five before I switched it off <doh>

    Coyote..... Only one series so far with 6 episodes. Just watched 4 and very enjoyable. Reminded me of Breaking bad but a different story. I am hoping it remains open at the end of episode 6 and to be continued hopefully with another series or two.

    I've grown to like Goggle Box, Sean Rider and Bez are crackers.

    At the minute I’m reliving my childhood, specifically the Christmas and Easter holidays and I’m watching Flash Gordon Conquers The Universe.

    You need to put on White Horses and Robinson Crusoe.

    Agree, Love/Hate is much better than Kin, Gomorrah is the absolute bollocks and also really enjoyed Yellowstone recently.

    There is a lot of fans of love/hate in here, I only watched two episodes. Need to give it another chance I think.

    Just started watching "For those about to die" on prime.

    Two episodes watched last night, feels like it's building up to being half decent watch! But if it keeps just playing to the treachery and political moving without any actual action for the next 8 episodes it will be a let down!

    Just starting ‘Honour’ on Netflix. Looks like it’s originally from ITV in 2020.
