Just noticed that Shardlake is being advertised, starting on 1st May on Disney+.
I absolutely love the books (By CJ Sansom) and have thought for years that it deserves a tv series. I didn’t realise it was in the works, so I’m looking forward to this!
Just finished the last Episode of Shogun... Been brilliant viewing the last ten weeks
Going to miss looking forward to a Tuesday now getting to watch it.
Just finished it as well.
Stunning series, almost perfect. Some people might find it a little slow but I absolutely loved it.
I'm only 3 episodes in - agree very good but it's a struggle to remember and identify the leaders/soldiers of the different regents/warlords. I don't have a clue who is attacking who, especially in the nighttime scenes.
Really been enjoying Fallout. Don't let the fact you haven't played the game be a turnoff (The Last of Us was critically acclaimed).
I love the concept of "divergence" where post WWII rather than focusing on things like microchips they went further with nuclear, so you end up with 1950s cars powered by nuclear reactors. The idea of how a society works post a nuclear apocalypse is fascinating. Watched 6/8 episodes so far and liked it from the start but was absolutely hooked from the 4th. Thoroughly recommend it.

Not one for the games, one of the best TV shows on Prime for me. Roll on series 2.
Watched the first episode of The Tattooist of Aushwitz on Sky Atlantic. I don't think it is going to be a very easy watch, but having read the book I really want to stick with it.
Shogun - excellent. Such a detailed show. Good acting and storyline Kin - blitzed through both seasons. Another excellent show The Bear - been on my to watch list for ages. Halfway through season 2 but as good as the hype IMO. Says something when you can be utterly engrossed by an entire episode dedicated to making desserts in Copenhagen Red Eye - all a but ridiculous but enjoyable for it. Richard Armitage seems to specialise in these types of shows for some reason Golden Hour - Dutch show but we watched it with dubbing which didn't help as it sounded terrible. Nothing the lead character does makes sense and can't say I enjoyed it
Granite Harbour on BBC. Series 2 released so I decided to watch series 1 as I’d missed it first time round. Lasted half an hour. This is up there (down there?) with the most wooden, clichéd ham acting I think I’ve ever seen. Absolutely unwatchable.
The first 4 episodes of Clarksons Farm series 3 is out today. 4 more episodes next Friday.
Watched the first 2 last night. Do love this show but my god farming is an insane business. Not sure if its just its Clarkson but the council really does come across as petty idiots in this show.
I'm halfway through a fairly traumatic pig based episode 4 of Clarksons farm.
I'm a fan of Jeremy Clarkson, I get him and his humour, whatever anyone thinks of him he has to be respected as he just doesn't make any bad television. The council seem to be on a quest of pure hatred against him. Someone who can and has put money onto Oxfordshire, can actually stimulate the local economy just because they aren't fans of him personally. This isn't unique to that council behaviour like this and I'm glad the producers and Jeremy Clarkson himself isn't holding back from anything they have said.
I appear to be the only one on here who thinks that Red Eye is awful - terrible acting (including Lesley Sharpe) and a truly ridiculous plot. Gave up after Episode 3.
From the small clips it sounds like Karl Urban might possibly have been working on his accent too, which would make it a bit less grating. His “cockiwi” accent from previous seasons was pretty terrible. (Although, let’s be fair, not even close to the abomination that was Don Cheadle’s Basher in Ocean’s 11!)

I've watched 2 episodes and think it's ok. I can't understand the adulation.

Indeed. This season isn’t quite the easy watch that the first two were. Not that that is a bad thing as JC (with an allowance for the fact that it’s reality TV at the end of the day) is really laying it out there that farming is a hard life. And how the farmers who don’t have his secondary incomes and penchant for Lambos get on I can only imagine. Not a series for pig lovers although I’m not going veggie just yet!

Absolutely, ultimately and he has made this point, he personally can swallow fairly large financial hits but the business cannot and thats the point. He won't be there forever and the business has to be sustainable and the waffle from the council on top of the regulations all farmers already have to deal with makes my head hurt and I have to deal with a lot of red tape with my own job.
Kaleb is also a great role model for young people. Is there anything that bloke doesn't do? Tree surgery, seemingly anything farm related and has a ton of vehicles he has bought and will hire out. Fair play to him.

No weekends on a farm
