They have one with Bohs/Shamrock Rovers too, eye opening!

Threw on a tragically titled series on Netlix yesterday called McMafia... and ended up watching most of it, as the weather pure shite.
Russian mafia... international drug running... very well done and definitely worth checking out, IMO.

Edit: finished it last night... slow start to the series, but it built up nicely.
Russian mob are fucking ruthless when the get going. No bullshit with them... just pain and/death.

Knee deep in The Crown this past week. We are nearing the end of the second season and it's very enjoyable.

Aye The Crown is a great watch. All 3 seasons are good but season one edges it for me. The episode in season 3 about the mining accident is harrowing. An amazing episode of television.

Blazing through season 3. Prince Philip (the new one) is stealing the show.

About halfway through second season of Masters of Sex, which I've found to be perfect viewing with the missus. Based on a fascinating true life story, great aesthetic, Michael Sheen gives performance of a lifetime as a very complex character, and I dare any straight male not to be in love with Lizzy Caplan within the first few eps.

Aye he's brilliant in the role and the resemblance is uncanny.

Is this some sort of sexual Olympics (100 metre jizzlob) or is it based around the Masters and Johnson research? Kinsey with Liam "take the fucking elephant" Neeson is amusing too, with similar themes.

That was indeed the obvious play on words in the title.

When you see an opening... Sorry


Finished Watchmen. Slightly better than I was expecting with some very cool parts.

Also started The 4400. I saw the first coupla eps back in the day and thought it was a cool premise. It's kinda been done to death a lot in the intervening years. Anyway, think I'll tip away through it as I've plenty of time on my hands.

I started Watchmen purely because of the Reznor/Ross soundtrack, but I lost interest after 3 episodes. I dunno, none of the superhero and mutant stuff gets me going at all

I've a lot of time for that stuff generally but ya, it's been a bit too nonstop the last few years. It took until ep 5 before it grabbed me. The soundtrack is typical modern Reznor, which can be taken positively or otherwise.

I honestly didn't think the soundtrack was the best either. It was very typical modern Reznor to be fair.
