Belgian show called 'Undercover', pretty good, especially the first season. These Belgian cops have unlimited resources it seems, organising mansions, yachts etc to catch disco biscuit manufacturers.

The Dutch language is something else. Fair play if any of ye have managed to learn it.

That's a great show.
There is a Ferry movie out and and up coming Ferry series as well.
He looks and sounds like such a greasy fucker but does it so well.

Yeah he's the best thing about it. The exact opposite of what you imagine a 21st century Dutch lad to be like.

"Godverdomme" and "klootzak" were my two big takeaways from that series, enjoyed it a lot

Binged "The Bear" season two over the weekend. Excellent stuff.

Spoiler
The Christmas episode is something else. Almost eye-popping in the tension that it builds. Reminded me of Thomas Vinterberg's film "Festen".

Aye finished it over the weekend as well. Just as good as season 1 if not better. The Christmas episode was 60 minutes of raw tension. Episode 7 is my favourite though. Great to see the character arc in it. Fantastic show.

Watched Andor the other day. Excellent series. Blows away everything else in the SW franchise apart from ANH and ESB.


Came across a series called "From" yesterday, ended up watching a few episodes. Not bad, but if they just turn out to be dead it'll be rather disappointing though.

It's from the makers of Lost so you'd never know.

Ah fuck, is it? I didn't know that but I was fairly thinking of Lost as I was looking at it. Tis intriguing enough so far anyway

I didn't go near it for that reason, Lost was such a letdown that I can't be bothered.

Watching the latest episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, a bloody musical episode. It's even worse than it sounds.

It's very like lost, there's just been enough going on to keep me interested  but my patience is running out, 2 seasons which could have fitted into 1 season easily..

Halfway through season 2 now and I see what you mean. It's actually still pretty decent but the feeling it's going to come to nothing is unshakeable at this stage. In fact I can't think what ending could possibly come of it now other than it's all a dream or they're all dead.

Mostly it's a good mystery I was after, anyone know any good series that have a bit of mystery without a shite end?

Caught up with "Barry" seasons 3 and 4 over the last week or two.

Brilliant stuff. Bill Hader has talent to burn in all departments on this show.

Stephen Root is fantastic as Fuches. The entire cast is great really.
