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.
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.
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.

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.

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....
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.

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.
Another sleepless night, another series binge watched. Cleaning Up on Netflix. Enjoyed it. Quite light weight but an easy watch. Sheridan Smith is good and a few old faithfuls in Lloyd Owen, Con O’Neill etc.
Watched the first 3 episodes of the new Kate Winslett series on Sky Atlantic - The Regime. Political satire where she is the head of a fictional eastern European state. Will probably finish it, but not sure so far. Don't quite get the message it is supposed to be passing on and its not actually that funny.

My mum watched the first episode a few weeks ago and said it was awful. I decided to give it a miss.

Sorry, but cleaning up was one of the worst programmes of the last 10 years.
Enjoyed the last few rounds of University Challenge .. Amol Rajan has done a great job lightening up proceedings following on from the very stern Jezza Paxman .. iPlayer

Could happily watch it all over again.
Another great lead actress role too. Well worth a watch and I'll mention again The Glory and Sisyphus.
Was filmed around West Cork and a few of my friends are extras.
Trailer looks good 🤞🏼
Some very good acting.

I didn't much rate Ben Miller or the scripts.
