To be honest I don't think ITV wanted to put Viewpoint on the Hub at all but viewers were quite rightly frustrated at missing the 5th and final episode so they agreed to put it on over the weekend. I wish I had missed it all to be honest, pretty shite.
A pile of poo from Netflix. Dreadful script and nice, middle class young things playing filthy ragamuffins in Victorian London. The irony of one of them accusing another of hating posh people.
Hasn't got an original bone in its body but I still enjoyed it for the acting and the complicated family relationships.
Yup......really enjoying this.
Winslett is a very good actor.
Started this yesterday and watched 1 and 2 - was tempted to stay up a bit later to watch ep 3, but will be itching to watch it tonight after the match. There is something very obvious about it, and i've already called it on a few of the characters as well dodgy, reminds me of sharp objects in a way. intrigued. mainly why Mike from Neighbours is there. is he producing it and written himself in to the story for the fun of it? or is he the baddie?

Yeah - has that similar feel to Sharp Objects where everyone knows everyone's business.......although this is a far less affluent locale. I watched ep 3 last night.........
Any comedy recommendations? Just blasted my way through Superstore - looking for something with 20 minute episodes on netflix/prime/terrestrial
Friday night dinner, i didn't really get into it when it was on the TV, or wasn't really drawn in. But i binged it last year and found it very easy to watch and enjoyed it. On Netflix
FND...seconded!
I've just binged al six series Loved it; Martin and Jim could be two of the great comedy characters of recent years.
So, what next? Anything else with similar humour? Thinking of Peep Show as the writer was involved.
Been bingeing FND recently. Like many others on here, I’m finding it pretty amusing and Martin is by far the funniest character. It’s making me a little sad to watch the outstanding Paul Ritter with the knowledge that he’s no longer with us.
On a lighter note, I don’t know if it’s common knowledge, but I was very surprised to discover that the guy playing Jonny is Jim Rosenthal’s boy. Although, once you know that, you can really see his old man in him. I think it’s the nose! 😂

Completely agree, I'd not put two & two together and once I saw it somewhere I couldn't work out how I'd not connected the two Rosenthals, definitely a resemblance.
Jim Rosenthal shared a photo of them both with Paul Ritter after he died with a nice message about Tom's 'two Dads'.
Not the strongest episode - felt a bit Zanzibar but not quite as good, but still some brilliant gags (Mirandaing, "Let him have it, are you sure?", and the whole Genoa? Alaska? bit, off the top of my head).

There goes my trail with Crystal Palace, I’m sure millwall will take you.

We're up to the end of season 3. Holding off on Season 4 (the most recent) for a while to enjoy the anticipation a bit longer - it's that good.
I found it quite helpful to read episode reviews as they tend to answer (and ask) questions about each episode.

Italian Mafiosi/police drama. based in the early/mid 90s Palermo.

Fascinating series on the history of Snooker - recommended. Covers all the great players from the 1970s onwards.
Some great film of Alex Higgins.
Quick look at Twitter suggests it was a real love it or hate it episode.
predominantly decided by if you understood most of the references or not.
I enjoyed it. Looking forward to watching it again to catch the bits I missed first time.
not sure if I like it or not
