    Just finished it. Excellent series, if you can zone out to the scouse accents and the constant (I mean CONSTANT) use of the word "lad".

    First show in ages where I've waited for the next episode. Some of the cast have clearly been told "be as crackers as you like".

    Absolutely brilliant isn't it. Tom Hardy is first class but the whole cast is brilliant. Special mention for Helen Mirren as well <laugh>

    First series of Severance was alright but the second series I thought I'd had the ****ing implant that made me forget tbe second series and this was the third! Boring and I can't stand then cheesy nice but meant to be menacing underneath type of show! Just ****ing get on with it!

    Slow Horses, Silo and Shrinking are all very good on apple tv!

    I know what you mean, I actually loved the first series but quickly lost interest in the second, don't think we'll finish it. I don't think they know where they're going with the story just making it up as they go.

    Been really enjoying Your Friends and Neighbours on Apple, wasn't too sure from the trailer but its quality. Jon Hamm is gold and there are lots of interesting characters and relationships, good dark humour too.

    It was the bit where they were in the wilderness camping or whatever the **** they were doing was the end for me! I didn't get through that episode!

    I was like what the **** is going on! When some **** started playing a harp or some **** around a camp fire as the other read from some weird diary! ****ed it off right there! Might be amazing after that, I don't think I'll ever find out!

    I agree mate. It's the first time the hype lives up to what's expected. I stupidly bought into "you need to watch Yellowstone", I'm up to series 3 and quite frankly bored.

    I played the game and was a bit obsessed with it. If you're a fan of the game probably not but it's watchable, great sets and such. Let me down though.

    I never played the game to be fair so think I’ll just sack it, shame like the first series was excellent
