Half decent tv 06:36 - Apr 29 with 680874 views | LadbrokeR | I watched the last episode of line of duty and thought that was good. Undercover has finally grabbed by attention. I quite like some of the investigative programmes Stacey Dooley does. However I can't wait for the next series of people just do nothing. | | | | |

Mrs Chef complains that none of the characters are likeable. Which arguably is true. But it's well crafted and well acted with some genuinely funny characters and moments too. | |

I had a season ticket throughout both Premiership seasons, I can handle hours and hours until of unlikeable characters 😆 Cheers for recommendation. | | | |

It doesn't take any time at all to build, so if you don't like the first episode, it won't pay you to stick with it...but you probably will. | | | |

I can see why some may have been disappointed after all the hype. I really enjoyed it even after guessing the twist, but I’m quite into Korean TV/movies. | | | |

Have started this, looks good. Defo get the point that there are no likeable characters. Clearly a mix of the Trump and Murdoch families that have provided the inspiration! | | | |

I'm in the other camp to you on this one, Bazz. I watched a couple of episodes and hated all of the characters. I can't warm to any programme or film unless I empathise with at least some of the characters. I abandoned it. | |

There are lots of crossovers with the thick of it in terms of writing and it shows. They are indeed all horrible. There are loads of hidden jokes as well like the scrolling headlines on the fox news substitute that they own. It is very funny and very dark. | | | |
Half decent tv on 11:21 - Nov 24 with 5177 views | BucksRanger | I'm going to go against the majority on this one. My son is watching it and I'm being infected with this tedious drivel by osmosis. It's been a long time since I've seen or heard anything quite so awful as Succession. | | | |

Yeah, now you mention it does seem to have that feel. Brian Cox is class btw. | | | |

Hard to believe that someone can go from being half of the writing team on a C4 sitcom about shabby losers in Croydon (Peep Show) to sole show-runner of a mega-budget HBO blockbuster on the global overclass. What they have in common is the depiction of cruelty, embarrassment and humiliation - hard to watch at times, difficult to understand individual motivation and certainly far-fetched, but brilliant dark entertainment, writing and acting just amazing - as was Peep Show, to be fair. | | | |

Ha yes true - both shows show how awful humans can be. Obviously the settings are a little bit different! | |

I really struggled with the first season for this reason, but I was told to stick with it, which I’m glad I did. Season two was much better and the current one is excellent, the writing continues to get better. Genuine laugh out loud moments. For me it’s the best thing on at the moment. | | | |

(no one knows for sure so the supernatural stuff may be true!) Makes me feel like I'm in the 1840's Arctic. Weird to think they had canned food 175 years ago. | |

Killer canned food at that! I had really looked forward to it, i thought the supernatural element was a bit over the top but but did fall in with the beliefs of the indigenous people they ran into so not too upset. The attention to detail was really good and it does get across the misery and fear those crews will have suffered. | | | |

I enjoyed The Terror. Season 6 of The Expanse started on Amazon. Also S4 Goliath. | | | |
