I watched Walking with….Jim Moir ( Vic Reeves ) last Saturday morning on Beeb2 and thought it was the most chilled out bit of TV I’ve ever seen. Half an hour of Jim walking in Kent with a selfie stick to film his meandering's was probably the best bit of escapism over 30 mins I have seen on the telly.
The fact that there was no awful background music made it more atmospheric. I hope he makes more films like this.
Started 1883 a couple of days a go and think it's excellent. Whether the fact I never heard of or watched Yellowstone is going to confuse things further down the line I don't know?
Walking with Jim Muir was interesting as he walked past a couple of places I didn’t know existed but are right on the doorstep. Plus he went to Dungeness, one of my favourite places for some reason.
David o Doherty cycled there in the first ep.
Went to Dungeness for the first time between Xmas and new year last year. Loved it so may do the same again this year.
Anyone seen death to 2021 (I've only just seen death to 2020!) On Netflix? Basically Charlie Brookers end of year screenwipe with an actual budget. Very funny

@Jessie glad you liked it. If you like rogue cops can I recommend Bosch on Amazon Prime. Really very good plus a great relationship with his daughter and his work partner.
Last 5 final episodes of Money Heist are now on Netflix
Watched all episodes so far but have lost interest as feel it is just more of the same. Not sure I'm even bothered how it ends
I felt like this after episode 2 of season 1.My wife enjoyed it but I thought it was utter tosh.
Agree. My wife and I stuck it out until the final episode of the first series even though we bitched about how utter tosh it was after each episode .
It astounds me how many popular series have characters and situations (supposed to be set in the real world) that are so completely unrealistic. To name only one in Money Heist: a dedicated, determined, professional inspector who is suddenly called to work long days in the biggest case in her career manages to fall head over heels in love with a stranger from a bar in a 24 hour period to the extent that she agrees to go and live in another country with him. The fact that he is organising the heist itself is irrelevant to how much of a nonsense it is.
Just finished Maid on Netflix. Very good. Excellently acted and shot with the beautiful backdrop of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. A very real feeling portrayal of how hard it can be to escape poverty and how utterly inadequate the "system" can be at times.
I'm 3/4 of the way through Maid. It's surprisingly good.
To counter my previous posts, this series is excellent. Finding a series like this with characters who act like real people and reflect real society makes it a treasure amongst the trash. I was close to closing my Netflix account until I found this.

Did you have a hot chocolate?
No. ‘‘Twas lockdown and everything shut.
Seriously, there's no lockdown in England right now is there?
Half way through the Witcher Season 2. It’s good but not the easiest to follow. Another series I find better if you read online episode reviews.
I cant seem to get into it yet, think around 3 episodes in possibly. I went from Wheel of Time on Amazon to that and although similar it isn't quite grabbing me in yet. A side note, i really liked Wheel of time.

Is it only the 8 available episodes in this season or are more expected?
Just 8 episodes. I've finished it and enjoyed it though I thought it lacked some action in the first probably half a season to drive the episodes on.
There is a prequel show/series coming in 2022 I think as well as the animated thing released earlier in the year to give Vesemir and the Witchers more background
At least in the main the timeline wasn't jumping all over the place this season. Disappointed Anya Chalotra kept her clothes on this time round as well, she is all woman that one, not only that, her more explicit scenes had a purpose to them.
Wheel of time was decent, Game of thrones it most certainly is not. Looking forward to the Lord of the rings series finally landing
Finished watching A Very British Scandal on Iplayer - a truly vile set of characters. Claire Foy is superb as the Duchess of Argyll.
Binge watched it with my Mrs off the back of this. Cheers! Thought it was compelling viewing and hated both of them by the end of the three parter. Both despicable individuals, who you would never hope to meet. No moral compass to be seen…

Haha, I was wondering where my post went!

Doesn't he chain up someone at his workplace in the basement or something?
I remember finding that daft .
