I quite enjoyed the quaintness of Whitstable Pearl on Prime. A six part cop and private investigator series, filmed and located, surprise surprise in Whitstable.
Quite a surprise, actually. The Blue Max, set on the Western Front, was filmed on Ms AA’s aunt’s farm near Leixlip.
I've just discovered Home Ground. Nobody else watched this footie -based drama? Well if not, here goes...
It's Norwegian, and the premise is, a female coach of a top women's team takes over at a small town men's team club that has made it to the Norwegian top tier. It stars Ane Dahl Torp whom you'll recognise if you watched Occupied, but I did a double take when I saw the second lead is John Carew, the ex Villa striker, more or less playing in character, but apparently making a decent new career as an actor. I'm only on S1 E2 but finding it very interesting, and seems it has been hugely successful in Norway. I'm watching it on the Aussie on - demand SBS, totally free with a VPN, but it looks like it is or has been on Prime.

That one’s gone over my head, but I’m sure I deserve it
She was in The Manageress in the 80’s as female boss of a league club.
Oh yeah, right. I had the vague idea it had been done in the UK, but couldn’t remember exactly. So it must have been crap.
Way before your time but does anyone remember the 60s series “United” ? I have a feeling there was a female manager in that series. It was ahead of its time in some ways, tackled things like mental illness in players ( watching as a kid, that episode really unsettled me). Jimmy Hill was involved with it.
Not a new series as I'm not one for waiting a week for each episode and then a year for the next season to come around. I prefer to binge watch and smash through a series, but I'm nearly finished with 'Impulse'.
Only 2 seasons so easy to watch over the course of a weekend if you're able to pay the missus and kids to disappear for long periods of time.
OK, not new, although a new series is due this year, but has anybody mentioned It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia yet? I'm on series seven. Oh, with the new series, the 15th, I believe it officially becomes the longest-running sitcom in history, which is bloody good going bearing in mind there's something to offend in virtually every episode. Like the child pageant episode I watched last night.
Sunny is probably my favourite TV show (or certainly my favourite comedy) of all time, probably watched every episode 10+ times. I’m surprised it isn’t more popular in the UK given the dark sense of humour.
Netflix deleting some of the episodes is completely ridiculous.

Has a Looper feel to it (of 2012 movie fame).
Scrap that. Although a decent series it seems there should have been a third season but YouTube panned it. Bastards.
I think this has been covered on here already but just got around to it myself, Invincible on Prime was v good. First episode and the last couple of episodes were absolutely brutal. If you enjoyed The Boys/Watchmen it should be up your street
Bradley and Holly Take Off .. and with a bit of luck they won't come back .. seriously, a formulaic game show that will please many and horrify a few .. I'd really expect this to be more Ant n Dec and ITV

There is a reason that despite being filmed before the pandemic it hadn’t been shown to date.
Schmigadoon Apple TV+ a comedic musical TV show - it’s mad as a box of frogs, but if you enjoy musical theatre, likely right up your street. If not, probably best to steer clear as the 3-4 songs per episode will properly get on your nerves.
Fortunately I like musical theatre and over the top acting performances so right up my street… 8/10

Looks absolutely awful and your review has confirmed my swerve!

“Looper” is one of those words that just has to be said in a Geordie accent.

LOL. Reminds me of Jack Charlton as a pundit during Euro96 and the way he said "Zubizarreta" and "Goalkeeper".

Simon Amstell was a joy on it too and I welcomed the relentless piss taking
I hope it remains ruthless
