Heard great things from friends about The Responder on the BBC with Martin Freeman. Started it last night and lasted 15mins. Just not for me. Didn't watch enough to have an opinion on it except that persisting would be a waste of my time with so much good TV out there.

Finished a rewatch of "The Office (US)" - still holds up (as far as season 7 - then it's patchy).

Currently watching "The Next Thing You Eat" - not a cooking show but more an exploration how where food, the food industry (both production and service) and our attitudes will need to evolve into the next century.

"Snowfall" season 5 just started too. Looking forward to seeing what they do this year after having to cut it short in 2020.


Binging on Downton Abbey having never watched it before. Really enjoyable telly.

Few episodes in Godfather of Harlem. Enjoyable so far.

Nearly finished Dope sick. Michael keaton is brilliant in it. One episode left is all



New French series Totems is very good 2 episodes in. Cold war espionage stuff, beautifully shot.

Up to date with Attack on Titan.  Only a few episodes left before its over I imagine.  What a top class show.  Great story, great action, well paced, plenty of variety across the seasons of it.  Looking forward to seeing how it all ends, very likely going to watch it all from S1 again later in the year.

I'm watching Taboo. It's decent enough but I'm beginning to wonder if Tom Hardy is a shite actor...

It might just be his appalling diction.

Watched it back when it came out first so memories a bit hazy but I think the script was mostly just Tom Hardy grunting at people.

I made it through the first season of Pieces Of Her.
What a complete pack of cunts.
All of them should have been annihilated for crimes against my face.
The mother and daughter.... CUNTS.

Awful tedious shite altogether
Wearing jeans and leather, not crackerjack clothes

Struggling on through Taboo but it's getting more tedious and boring by the episode  :-\

Started watching"The Chi" - caught the first episode somewhere a while back and promptly forgot about it. Picked it up again on Disney+.

First two seasons are very enjoyable. It's about the intertwining lives of people on the Southside of Chicago - cops, crooks, people doing their best to get by, people hustling to get along, schoolkids.

Worth a look.

Spoiler
However - post the second season - the lead actor was fired for inappropriate conduct towards female cast members after apparently being warned several times in season one. He was later arrested for possession of AK47s and a ton of drugs. Season 3 and into season 4 had to be retooled in his absence and has become a bit too much like "Eastenders" or something.

Starting into Occupied. Interesting idea and the first episode at least was good. Let's see how it develops

And there was me thinking Oz was the land of surfing, beer fueled BBQs and kangaroo wrestling  :laugh:
