    Just finished Slow Horses on Apple TV, highly recommend that one.

    The Last Of Us is the best thing in telly at the minute imo.

    Started Slow Horses last week but need to revisit - it's the sort of show that needs 100% concentration

    I thought that would be the case when I read there was books. I don't read very often recently, but always prefer the book to the film or tv series.

    Big Sky was canny on Disney plus. Took ages for the Mrs to get to watch the 1st episode as it sounds ****e but I loved it. Couple of nice lasses in the lead roles. Just saying.

    One thing that annoys me about tv series these days is how many end with an episode that is open for the next season many on a clear find out what happens next time style cliff hanger, only for it to be dropped.

    Having seen Happy Valley lauded, on the news, as an absolute masterpiece I thought I'd watch the 'gripping climax' ...

    ... dreadful, it was overacting on a scale not seen for nearly two decades <laugh>

    Did anyone watch you? Watched first two season and had enough by the third. Just seen the 4th is out or part one of it.

    Looking for my next series might get yellowstone on iptv.

    Yeah it's great, totally original concept and a really well made show to back it up. I like the retro aesthetic too.

    I know us Northerners shouldn't be talking like this, but the colour palate is gorgeous. Proper 70s retro without the brown.

    I hope the show's creator has some decent explanations for its mysteries up his sleeve, it'd be a shame to see it getting dragged out without the main points being resolved in some way.

    Usually I'm all about enjoying the journey and the ending isn't that important but Severance is so damn fascinating I have to know more.

    Private detectives take on case of couple of missing girls. Up north near Canadian border. Was trundling along nicely in the first episode but the ending was like WTF. After that you watch it knowing anything can happen. Good characters. Was decent.
