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.

Just finished better Call Saul last week and has made me binge watch breaking bad again now. I think I might prefer Better Call Saul as a series now which is saying something as I thought Breaking Bad was the greatest tv show ever


I was thinking the same, I love both but I think Saul shades it.

Yeah, I watched it and thought it was one of the best of Channel 5’s offerings in their 9 o’clock drama slot with Jason Watkins doing a very good turn as the harassed everyman in an impossible situation and Jonas Armstrong suitably threatening as the heavy.
The fact that it was all filmed in Hungary while purporting to be Northern England did give it a slightly surreal feeling though!


Thought this was great

Jason Watkins really is fantastic and a much underrated actor for me.
His performances as the Landlord in that fact based drama about the girls murder in Bristol (body in the snow) was absolutely brilliant.

Watching a mini series call Kaleidoscope on Netflix at the moment - quite good but a bit odd how the different coloured episodes jump around in time.

Best thing I've watched in ages is however The Kominskey Method on Netflix with Michael Douglas.... big shout to WestBerksR for recommendation. I don't normally go a bundle on yank comedy dramas but this was top notch.

We've just started watching Saul, three episodes in. Enjoying it so far although Mrs Chef finds some of the themes unsettling - think she's getting more sensitive in her old age

Watching the 1st two episodes tonight. So far, very faithful to the games.

I didn’t know about A boy and his dog so I googled it and it was the inspiration for the game.

Could tell after the first episode of The Kominsky Method that it was going to be good. Three episodes in and if it wasn't 3pm on a Saturday I'd still be watching it. Good shout to the both of you.

Finally started watching Vikings on Amazon and it’s watchable sub Game of Thrones type entertainment.
The Vikings seem to have mastered the art of regeneration well though: whole villages and armies wiped out time and again but never seems to be a shortage of people on the next episode.

Masters of the air on Apple TV. Excellent viewing for a myriad of reasons.

Trueish story of a Flying Fortress squadron in WW2 who suffered unmeasurable losses.

Unlocked, a jail experiment. Documentary series on Netflix is worth a watch.

Just finished the last episode of series one and concur with what others have said about Fallout, it's a suberb, very, very clever sci-fi/fantasy drama series. It's also a brilliant satire, deeply, darkly comic, and what incredible imagination to create the world of the story, a kind of dystopian alternate 50s-style futurama, so plaudits must go to the game designers and writers as well.

Walton Goggins, who is brilliant in Justified, is fantastic as The Ghoul, the story is great, the sets and landscapes are amazing. Top notch!

I also thought it was better than Breaking Bad.

But The Wire is better than any of them IMHO.

Walton Goggins is fast becoming one of my favourite actors. Thought he stole the show in Justified and upped his game even more with a few cameo appearances in Sons of Anarchy (google Walton Goggins Sons of Anarchy/images, you'll see what I mean).

The second he appeared in the Fallout trailer I thought, this is going to be good.

Agree wholeheartedly with this. Thought the first series was one of the best ever police dramas on British TV and last night’s opener makes it look like they haven’t dropped the standard at all in series two.

I often hear this so made a point of watching all the seasons of Sopranos to see for myself.

Really enjoyed it, but not even close to being as good as The Wire IMHO.

The Bear on Disney +. My God is this good. Top top performances and storyline, with fantastic characters.

You know its good when in Series 2 the supporting actors are Jamie Lee Curtis, Sarah Paulson, Oliver Platt, Jon Bernthal and Bob Odenkirk.

Very highly recommended.

I found The Bear painful to watch
Yeah, the acting was good, but...
They obviously researched the cooking part, but other aspects were so wrong...

Putting up some plasterboard walls is not a ball ache
Fixing an old arcade machine is not a dark art

The whole premise of the programme is
"will they make the sandwich?"

Calling Richie "Cousin" all the time got on my Hampton.
In the real world no-one would tolerate him

It was just OK...

I agree, absolutely loved The Bear, fantastic TV. I also understand why some people would hate it though.

Ska, skinheads, gangsters, the ‘RA’, set in the early 1980’s. This Town has been pretty good on the Beeb.
