    Celebrity Traitors started well, looking forward to seeing how this series pans out. Would say more but spoiler alert and all that.
    Yes I thought it was great.

    Got one episode left of Colin from Accounts and dreading it finishing. This season has been fantastic and the periphery characters like Lee, Lynelle. Chi, Brett and Heavy have really shone. Lee always cracks me up.

    The funeral episode had real LOL moments

    Blue Lights season 4 is a good watch - some relevant storyline.
    Not impressed with the first 2 episodes so far. You can see why their station's stats aren't good!

    As someone else has said upthread, try Fisk (Netflix) instead. Another Aussie comedy of similar quality with lots of quirky characters and a slightly surreal edge.

    Mr Inbetween is superb as well.
    Deadloch is worth a watch too

    I really liked both seasons of Deadloch.

    War on Sky Atlantic - good 1st episode.

    Neagley, which is a spin off of Reacher on Prime is a decent watch.

    Last Episode of Lanterns is out on HBO... Really enjoyable series
    The handful of Harry Potter references made me smile each time as well, given that HBO are clearly going: Look what we've got coming

    Nobody has mentioned Wargame on Sky.  A thought-provoking and very relevant series that everyone should watch unless you prefer the head-in-the-sand approach to life !

    Yes, although my heart sank when I saw it has 16 episodes.  Especially if they drip feed it one episode a week.

    Pierre (Channel 4)

    David Harewood plays a duty solicitor investigating the death of a young black man. It's a reasonable watch with plenty of decent characters but the dialogue is a bit clunky in places and it tries to shoehorn in a lot of storylines. The last episode is the best and there are some powerful scenes.

    Good to see an actor of Harewood's quality getting the main lead in a series.

    Nice plot but the script has some big holes which drags it down. Reasonably well acted though and a decent watch.

    I gave Lioness a go after a few posters mentioned it. It's very watchable but I can't quite get over the feeling that Taylor Sheridan asked AI to write him a show based on Team America  just without any humour, self deprecation or satire.

    Very frightening to see how a false flag could escalate so quickly.

    Extremely late to the table with this but we started watching Game of Thrones this week. Only 4 episodes in but think it's ok.

    However, if I knew what a jug fest it is, I would have watched it years ago!
    Nearly finished the second series. It’s ok but we’re not over impressed with it. Will stick with for the time being (if only for the tits and fanny) but can’t see us seeing out all 8 series.

    Really enjoying the new season of Mobland and watched the last available episode last night...

    One (very minor!) criticism though, without spoilers of course but the 'Harry in the woods' scene we thought was far too graphic.  I understand why in terms of the storyline but made me feel very uneasy tbh.

    Can someone remind me how Kat McCallister the US ambassador plays into the story line?  feel free to DM to save any spoilers on here for all those that havent watched season 1 yet.  The wife and I have been scratching our heads a bit.

    Harry did a few jobs for Kat back in the day and is a big time gangster from the US. She is basically the king pin and wants to take over London, but from behind the scenes as she’s meant to be this goody ambassador/philanthropist.

    My missus has started the new Ted Lasso, so I’ve caught bits when she’s had it on. My god I’m glad I knocked it on the head at the end of season 2, absolute shite.

    I've not watched it but have been meaning to, to see SCP

    If someone could let me an episode he features in, I'll watch that to see him

    It's nowhere near as good as the first 3 series (and apart from the Amsterdam episode, S3 wasn't as good as the first two either), but I still like it.  It's light and easy watching if you've had a heavy day at work.

    He’s not in it. Replaced by Jill Scott.

    I’ve quite liked it, but I’m easily pleased

    Finally got around to Colin from Accounts 3, so much better than the second series, really enjoying it again

    Found this series of Ted Lasso pretty disappointing and so full of cliches - yes, even more so than usual. Got marginally better towards the end though the twist was heavily trailed. I really cringed every time they called them Lady Greyhounds.

    I do think Zelda was an absolutely awful character.

    Annoying every time she was on screen and basically completely unnecessary.

    Weird, cos she was amazing in Terrahawks.
