    Blue Lights on iPlayer. Whilst there's no shortage of police dramas about, this one set in northern Ireland is one of the better ones based on first couple of episodes

    Gets better as the series goes on, too.

    Yeah Blue Lights was one of our favourite new series when it came out last year (or end of 2022 maybe) and has a great mix of light hearted scenes mixed in with some powerful scenes.  
  • We enjoyed the first season of Kin, only a couple episodes into Season 2 and it is already shaping up really well.

    Enjoyed Nell the Renegade on Disney... Good family fun if that's what you're after.
    If you want something a tiny bit darker then The Red Queen on Amazon, not bad and a great book.

    Highly recommend This Town on BBC One. Two episodes in and totally hooked. Set in 1981, focusing on an extended family in Birmingham and Coventry during both race riots and the IRA bombing campaign. Great music too, with some real banging reggae and ska tracks.
  • Watching the final episode now.

    Could happily watch it all over again.

    Enjoyed Kin, sad there won't be a third season. 

    The Gentlemen. Enjoyed the first few fast moving episodes but thought it died a lingering death towards the end.

    Pretty sure there will be a 3rd series.

    Another great Korean drama " My name"
    Another great lead actress role too. Well worth a watch and I'll mention again The Glory and Sisyphus.

    I’m enjoying Loudermilk, it’s a classic funny US tv series  formed around the life of an out of work recovering alcoholic , music critic and Alcoholics Anonymous group leader. It’s refreshing after too much murky graded crisis ridden Netflix . The soundtrack is great and has led me to some (new to me ) US bands and while US humour doesn’t always translate enough of it does. There’s a great ensemble feel to the cast , It’s definitely very blokey , but it’s good to watch something on my own . Definitely not everyones cup of tea but I’m enjoying it.

    Keep an eye out for Bodkin on Netflix in May.
    Was filmed around West Cork and a few of my friends are extras.
    Trailer looks good 🤞🏼

    Managed three and a half episodes of the new Man City documentary on Netflix “Together Treble Winners”. It’s an ok watch but lacks the insight that previous footy documentary series on Netflix and Amazon have managed. All very sugar sweet and cuddly. Very little revealed that we didn’t know already and all very superficial when it comes to the characters involved. Sweary words are bleeped out and it all seems very sanitized. Admiration for Pep abounds but that’s about it really. I wonder if this genre is now being done to death a bit.

    Only watched the first episode so far but have to say I think it's excellent. Interesting storylines and it captures the feel of the time.

    Some very good acting.

    Probably my favourite programme of the last few years. Absolutely love it. Gutted I’ve finished it. Although apparently there’s 2 more series to come. Great cast. Hilarious Curb Your Enthusiasm type awkwardness and a subject very close to my heart. Love it.

    Same here. Superb series and the creator says he’s always wanted to do 7 series. Fingers crossed that it happens.

    KIN hitting bingeworthy status. Watched 3 in one sitting last night and could have easily gone on, it's that good.
    '

    Yes, sensational drama. Can't wait for Series 3 which I think is out in May/June - and they've already filmed Series 4.
    Where you hearing that mate?
    This is the last I read a few weeks ago.

  • Anyone else watching "3 Body Problem" on Netflix ?

    Pretty bizarre (and may need Wikipedia's assistance to check your understanding of certain issues ) but my kind of sci fi series.

    Just watched the first 3 episodes & looking forward to the rest.

    Love to know what others think....

    Caught the first 15 minutes of Professor T on ITV. Is it worth watching from the start of the first series?

    i finished it last week. It’s a decent attempt as some concepts are difficult to get over on tv rather than in a book. Wasn’t blown away by it, but enjoyable enough.

    I'm enjoying it quite a lot - also three episodes in. I have read the books and as Gary says it's a good attempt at getting over a very complex plot.

    I watched a bit of the first series and stopped. 
    I didn't much rate Ben Miller or the scripts.

    enjoying it too. Bit Game of Thrones killing off the favourite characters.

    Not happening. Charlie Cox is back in the US filming. The other leads are working on other projects. If they ever get to a third season it will be 2026/7 earliest by which time it would have lost its momentum.

    Same here, found the storylines thin.
