I binge-watched an NBC series called This Is Us and really loved it. It is one of the best TV series I have ever watched. Reminds me a little of Friday Night Lights and Parenthood. Highly recommended if you like those two shows.
SO glad you caught up with this series, Jessie.
We loved it !
I remember seeing the series receive high ratings during its first season but didn't get around to watching it until when the second season was over recently. I've never cried so much over a TV series. The episodes in which Jack dies and how the family react to it are especially heart-breaking. The series has become one of my favourites now. I look forward to the third season.
Just seen the last (or so I thought) episode of Save Me. Why the f**k end it like that ?? No, Mr James, we all don't want to dick around for 9 months wilst you decide how a second series is going to work out. I don't recall too many Shakespear plays ending with "I'm not going to tell you how it ends & so tune in again at xmas to find out". Just write a script & end it.
Did anyone on here watch Westworld when it was out? I thought it was brilliant, second season has been announced for late April (22nd?). Counting down the days.
I really enjoyed that and have high hopes for the second series. Of course, if the budget's been cut and they don't get the same quality of actors it will probably not be as good so let's hope the studio stumps up.
Really enjoying Before we Die which concludes next week on Channel 4. On Netflix would recommend the Icelandic series Border Town, based close to St Petersburg. A good watch.
Icelandic Border Town close to St Petersburg? Back in the days of Pangea maybe.
Just catching up with This Country. Missed the first series. I think I like it. It’s a bit of a slow burner. Has the same sort of feel as Detectorists but not as good. The Steam Fair episode with the birthday angle was very clever.

I think I’d rather they just left it with the first series.
I like it when stuff ends with unanswered questions. We don’t always need to see stuff neatly explained and tied with a big bow surely?

I think these are the best two comedy series of recent times. This Country has excellent script and characters - it really gets over the dead end nature of their lives but finds comedy within it. Daisy and Charlie Cooper who wrote and star in it have a real talent for dialogue.
The program has really grown on me and I've loved the second series as much as the first.
Really enjoying The Looming Tower on Amazon . Story of the build up to 911 and how the CIA and FBI were at war with each other as well as Al Qaeda. Jeff Daniels is superb .

Is this based on a documentary style or is it actors playing out the scenario?

Sorry that was lazy of me. I have just Googled it and answered my question. Looks good, I my give this try.
Have you retuned recently? I retuned mine recently after a helpful banner across the screen told me to! Check here for more help: https://www.freeview.co.uk/tvchanges

Personal preference I guess. I hate it - if I could write my own endings, I'd be an author. I pay them to tell me a story from start to finish. To me it would be like leaving a football match at 1-1 with ten minutes to go, and never checking the result...
