Not exactly new but highly recommended: The Loudest Voice. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6821044/ It makes The Morning Show (which I watched earlier and absolutely enjoyed) look like a cheesy soap opera show.
My favourite Number 9 was set in an hotel, can’t remember exactly what happened but it was excellent.
Is that the one which was in shakespearean rhyming couplets? That was a good one.
My favourite was 12 days of Christine, it was certainly the most hard hitting. Sheridan Smith was great in it
Agree Sheridan Smith was very good in that one. I also remember an early one that had hardly any speaking, 2 burglars trying to steal a painting from a house. It was very clever

Agree, those two episodes and the crossword one are absolutely brilliant.
The Sheridan Smith episode is the truly great Inside No 9. Second best, for me, was Tom And Gerri, the one where Steve Pemberton's homeless character basically moves himself into Reece Shearsmith's home and takes over his life. The silent episode is third on my list, followed by the Samaritans episode.
There have been some really grim episodes, in terms of subject matter. Grimmest ending for me was The Devil At Christmas. I couldn't see the ending coming because the rest of the episode was shot like a low-rent episode of a Seventies TV horror series, starring Rula Lenska, with 'commentary' from the director, voiced by Derek Jacobi. Grim!

Agree with your top 2. I'd put Bernie Clifton's Dressing Room as third but the silent episode is terrific too.
The ending to the shoe one was incredible too. Didn't think that much of the episode and the twist just changed that completely. Brilliant, brilliant writing.
been watching Yellowstone (came out a couple of years ago. now being shown on Paramount).
Kevin Costner's modern day ranch western. The setting in Montana is very good, as is some of the cast. the story however feels like an average version of Dallas. going to stick with it purely because i do love a western set film/programme.
Curb Your Enthusiasm (now on NOW TV) is brilliant, been years since. saw any of it (must've been on C4). Not seen much of Seinfeld ever, which is now on C4, just a bit of series 1 which was okay, but certainly not CYE level. Which should I prioritise??
Just finished watching White House Farm. Brilliantly acted and a fascinating if gruesome story. Of course I remember the original case, but I am staggered at how incompetent the police are portrayed, particularly the aggressively intransigent SIO. That said, if the case really did hinge on the ex girlfriends testimony I am surprised he was convicted beyond reasonable doubt.

Both are excellent. Seinfeld is a little tamer but the stories are hilarious. Georges character in Seinfeld is based on Larry David

I suspect a certain amount of poetic license with the trial being something everyone knew the outcome of. The trashing of the suicide issue, the window, saw marks and iffy phone calls were covered in previous episodes and were probably crucial to the case, but would have detracted from the suspense of the trial. Superbly scripted drama.

definitely worth catching up

don't think they've made a dud episode which is amazing considering each one is in a completely new setting with completely new characters

Found it quite compelling, well acted - not brilliant but definitely worth a watch
