    I’m with @North Lower Neil and @Carter with regards to Harlen Coben series.

    I watched the one with Dexter and one with the bloke who was the Sheriff of Nottingham and they were just such badly structured, unsatisfying, formulaic bollocks:

    An English village. Not a real one, a twee fantasy one imagined by a trashy American writer. There’s a death, who could be the murderer? Maybe this person? They seem suspicious. Oh, they’ve been killed too. Looks like we were on the wrong track. Never mind. Wait why is everyone behaving weirdly?  Ok, let’s find a new suspect. What about that person? They look a bit dodgy. Hang on, there’s been another totally unrelated crime that adds nothing to the plot. What the fuck? Who did we suspect again? Oh yeah, that person. Oh, it’s not them, it’s that peripheral character and the clues to their identity either didn’t exist at all or were convoluted in the style of Ted Rogers in 3-2-1. How fucking convenient.

    Rinse and repeat for any Harlen Coben show. Utter garbage.



    so true!

    I'm 3 episodes into Task really enjoying it 

    Mark Ruffalo I always thought played the same character, dour, sarcastic or dry. He shows some really good range in this. 

    Industry is back for season 4 which I think is a bit unnecessary as the last one tied a lot of stuff up well and completed the journeys of the main characters. Fuck me this one is a lively opener! 
    What's Task on?

    The worst 3 episodes of stranger things to date.  So much talking, but nothing said.  When the creators have to give an interview to explain things that happened in the episode as it was not clear to the audience, something has gone wrong.  

    So much to do now in the final 2.5 hours to wrap it all up. 
    Oh dear. I haven’t seen these latest episodes yet, but the way you’re describing it is giving me “Game of Thrones rushed ending PTSD”. 🤦‍♂️
    In the end, I quite liked how they ended it. Someone said earlier that it’s sometimes about the journey rather than the destination. I think I agree with this.
    It certainly wasn’t tainted the way GoT was.

    Landman 2 is awesome
    On the basis of this comment, I thought I’d give Landman season 1 a try. 
    A couple of episodes in, I realised it was written by Taylor Sheridan and suddenly the appallingly written women made sense.
    I might give it another episode or two, but it’s not looking good.

    I fucking hate Taylor Sheridan.

    I think some of the writers of succession are involved and if not they have definitely watched that and enjoyed it. Season 3 and this new episode felt very succession-y

    I hope they aren't going to rock industry until the wheels come off
