Watched the first episode of Peacemaker. The Suicide Squad was bollix but this is great craic.
Best thing I've watched in a long time.

I watched the first episode of Hell on Wheels. Not bad.

Watching the first episode of Pam & Tommy. From around the time of the sex tape. Not what I was expecting at all. It's deadly.

Looking forward to seeing it since discovering it's the same director as the absolutely excellent I, Tonya.

Aye very much in the same vein. Seth Rogan and Nick Offerman on top form. Great soundtrack too.

Just over halfway through season 2 of The Expanse and it's definitely got us totally pulled in now. Have to say, some of the dialogue is really well written. Not in a smart-ass, wise-crack good dialogue way, but plenty of subtle stuff all over the place, characters dropping lie words of intention here and there in a way that isn't highlighted at all, really feeds into the overall tension. That and never having a fucking clue what might be coming next, and many other aspects. Great show. Anyone read the books?

About halfway through Dopesick, good stuff. Michael Keaton is fucking brilliant, but then he always is even in shite films

Only starting the books now as I wanted to wait until the tv show was finished. Only on the first book but it's class. Halfway through season 2 eh. Thats when it got really good for me. Stellar show.

Is season 6 the final season then? I'm a few episodes into season 4.

It shouldn't be as there's 2 to 3 more books to go through. But where they ended the current show is fine enough as there's a jump in time after that. Hopefully someone picks it up. Talk of maybe 1 or 2 movies to finish it.

Rewatched the first couple of episodes of Black Books for the umpteenth time. Great stuff.

I started into season 2 of Line of Duty as well this evening. I think I'll burn through that all again because it's the business so'rizz.

The last two books take place about 30 years after the books the series is based on.
So essentially they are drawing a line on it and the series is finished after season 6.

There are some obvious elements left open, so hopefully a follow-on show will be made.

Ah. I'll be reading the books myself, I think. I've enjoyed the series so far, some nice, non-cliched stuff throughout.

I need to get back to that, enjoyed the firat season. I'm amazed the Big Bad's identity has gotten by me without me hearing it, it's a while since it was revealed.

Watched the second season of "Ted Lasso" only because my wife wanted to see it. I genuinely don't know why or how it's getting all these awards and great reviews - including 5/5 from The Guardian. It's written like a teen soap and shot like a kids' TV show. 

It's like a lot of shows now - written and filmed to be watched by people who spend more of the episode's  runtime scrolling their phones than looking at the TV. 

Finished a rewatch of Steins Gate, found out Crunchyroll has an app on my telly that
doesn't just run ads in a loop, went straight in for Steins Gate 0.  Grand, good time travel story, not a patch on the first series but ties everything up very cleverly, but fair heavy on the romance to the point where I would be mortified to be caught watching some of it.  First series is still one of the better new(er) Anime shows I've watched in recent times, I'm a sucker for time travel and the way it is done is great, with the addition of the classic switch from lighthearted to spiralling depression half way through the series.

Anyway I see Attack on Titan and Berserk are both on Crunchyroll so that's my next few lined up.
