We had been waiting for series 3 and 4 to show on Channel 4/E4 for two years but it was dropped, but have seen they are on Amazon Prime if you have not watched them yet.
Ooh, thanks, MOL.
I remember reading something about a new series but had seen nothing recently.
Sadly, we don't have Amazon Prime but might be able to access via a firestick we have ( don't ask ! Sorted by grandson...)
Dark - brilliant. The ending was about as good as it's possible to get - up there with Breaking Bad as 'satisfying' finales go. One of the best TV shows I've ever watched.
The last episode was brilliant but episode 7 for me was on another level. Insanely good.
I've the last episode to watch. The last two I watched went into overdrive on the time flipping and made it complicated to follow. Things always go awry in dramas when time travel is involved. Shame

I found episode 7 complicated but brought together everything that was confusing about the series. Essentially why they called it ‘between time’.
Perhaps it’s one of those things you have to watch more than once. I followed the final series with a review website which helped answer any questions I had about the episode watched.
Not overly impressed with the end of Dark. It tied up a few loose ends but certainly didn't blow me away personally.
*********SPOILER ALERT***********
I agree. In fact I didn't really enjoy the last series anywhere near as much as the first two. I could cope with the time travel aspect and the mystery, intrigue and darkness made it compelling viewing. Once the alternative realities were introduced my puny brain found it a struggle to keep up at times. I also felt it started to strain credulity at times, eg all the characters seeming to know that they were in the "wrong" time/"reality" would make life unliveable - all routine and function redundant. I found it increasingly difficult to suspend belief and buy into it. Also, I get why Jonas could not exist in the "real" reality, but why not Martha?
Just worked my way through the second series of "What We Do In The Shadows" genius!
I enjoyed it but thought the quality dipped (slightly) compared to the first series. Giving Colin Robinson pretty much his own episode was genius though. I think I've worked with a few like him over the years.
Also, quite annoyed with myself that it took me so long to recognise Mark Hamill.
Binged series 3 of The Young Offenders last night during a bout of insomnia. Very disappointed. Still some great character acting and some laugh out loud moments but it’s gone very cheesy and sentimental.
Did anyone watch The Last Wave on BBC4 last night? It's a French series (subtitles) about a strange cloud and disappearing surfers. All a bit weird and people gained strange powers but I enjoyed it. Only six episodes and first two were on last night.

I watched the first episode but thought it was a bit Close encounters......without the aliens. Turned over & watched the film "The Post".
Looking forward to The First Nine(the prequel to SOA) and after hearing what Kurt Sutter said recently that he also had plans for a follow on from SOA called Sam Crow(which would detail what happened to Wendy, Thomas and Abel as they grew up)
Obviously both The First Nine and now Sam Crow will all depend on if Kurt Sutter overcomes the issues at Fox but hopefully both can be made.
Was talking to someone about what could possibly happen in Sam Crow the other day, I reckon they ended up moving back to Charming and Abel followed his dad's footsteps and has become president of SAMCRO but Thomas I reckon followed his mum's path and joined the medical profession.
Or maybe I just think to much about these things lol

Beach looked lovely though
I thought it was more like Misfits, the TV show, in that there was a weird storm and then they had super-powers!

I agree, didn't enjoy season 1 of Mayans MC. Haven't seen season 2 but might give it a whirl if it's picked up.
I think you're right about Abel and Thomas. Was definitely the way I saw it. Would look forward to the prequel and the follow on, but think both are a long way off yet.

I hope they don't go down that road. It would totally defeat the object of how impactful the ending of sons of anarchy was
Mayans has a different dynamic but they spent a big chunk of season 1 building characters as opposed to a story, season 2 it really kicks on and it feels more like what I hoped it would
The actors must be booking hot all the time filming it, it's set in southern California and they are in leather cuts, beanie hats, heavy denim and boots like
I'd be in pants and flip flops dripping with sweat
I watched the Laurel County Docs on Sky Documentaries. I thought they were pretty good if you are into your late 60's / early 70's west LA music scene type stuff.
New series of Last Chance U out soon on Netflix on American college football. Last few series have been excellent and made me appreciate American football.
The Heist of the Century, an Argentinian true story is a very good film available now on Sky Cinema.
In recent years I have been disappointed with the drama on sky one and sky witness but following the recommendation of @Carter, I watched Condor. It is really good and well acted. Series 2 is 3 episodes in.
Some will know I like French drama and fortunately there are some new one's on More 4/Walter Presents. Detective Cain, A Deadly Union and The Other Mother are all worth a watch.
Norwegian political/family drama about the opening up of the oil industry in Stavenger. Mix of English and subtitles. The 1960's sets and costume were brilliant, as is the score and from start to finish it was really well acted and easy to engage with the characters.
The main female lead, Anne Regine Ellingsæter is a star in the making.
Just watching the new series on Channel 5 ‘The Deceived’ Did anyone else just notice our badge on the wall of the pub?! Set in Ireland...
Yes I did and you beat me to it! She walks into a pub in Donegal and it's slap bang in the centre of the wall. I spotted it before it was even in focus (sad). I reckon guinness addick put it there.

The notion of vampires as daft cowardly squabbling ninnies is great
Nice subtle development of Guillermo’s storyline too
Beach looked lovely though
It's a follow in to sons of anarchy and focuses on their opposite number and sometimes mortal enemy the Mayans
A couple of familiar faces crop up but its definitely on it's own. Second series is better than the first

The new series of Umbrella Academy is on Netflix, which is equally as good.
