New Tv series (REMEMBER: No Spoilers)

bolloxbolder

Legends on Netflix. Half way through this 6 part series, about customs officers in the 90s tackling heroin imports.
,
Absolutely excellent to date. A true story with a stellar cast including Tom Burke (main character in Strike series with Holliday Grainger) and Steve Coogan.

Finished ‘Two Weeks In August’.  Wish I hadn’t bothered starting.

I'm enjoying it. The characters are irritating but it's well observed.

Hmm. I persuaded my wife to start it with me last night, because I'd read an absolutely stellar review of it in The Guardian. (and therefore I wouldn't be too bothered that Large and Carly don't like it😉 - just joshing, guys). But actually we didn't even get to the end of the first episode. I get that we are not meant to like any of the characters but it's just too painful an effort. 

I guess it must have been inspired in some way by the White Lotus, I only watched series 2 of that but I could enjoy how appalling  the guests are because they are  all Americans, and feed my prejudices😉. When it's middle-class Brits I guess it hits too close to home.

The Boroughs on Netflix is worth your time. A bit of a stranger things vibe, think there is a crossover with the producers of each show. 

Yep, Duffer Brothers 😊

I bailed after the first episode.

It ran out of steam by the end. The storyline just got too contrived.
