Binged series 3 of The Young Offenders last night during a bout of insomnia. Very disappointed. Still some great character acting and some laugh out loud moments but it’s gone very cheesy and sentimental.
Did anyone watch The Last Wave on BBC4 last night? It's a French series (subtitles) about a strange cloud and disappearing surfers. All a bit weird and people gained strange powers but I enjoyed it. Only six episodes and first two were on last night.

I watched the first episode but thought it was a bit Close encounters......without the aliens. Turned over & watched the film "The Post".
Looking forward to The First Nine(the prequel to SOA) and after hearing what Kurt Sutter said recently that he also had plans for a follow on from SOA called Sam Crow(which would detail what happened to Wendy, Thomas and Abel as they grew up)
Obviously both The First Nine and now Sam Crow will all depend on if Kurt Sutter overcomes the issues at Fox but hopefully both can be made.
Was talking to someone about what could possibly happen in Sam Crow the other day, I reckon they ended up moving back to Charming and Abel followed his dad's footsteps and has become president of SAMCRO but Thomas I reckon followed his mum's path and joined the medical profession.
Or maybe I just think to much about these things lol

I thought it was more like Misfits, the TV show, in that there was a weird storm and then they had super-powers!

I agree, didn't enjoy season 1 of Mayans MC. Haven't seen season 2 but might give it a whirl if it's picked up.
I think you're right about Abel and Thomas. Was definitely the way I saw it. Would look forward to the prequel and the follow on, but think both are a long way off yet.

I hope they don't go down that road. It would totally defeat the object of how impactful the ending of sons of anarchy was
Mayans has a different dynamic but they spent a big chunk of season 1 building characters as opposed to a story, season 2 it really kicks on and it feels more like what I hoped it would
The actors must be booking hot all the time filming it, it's set in southern California and they are in leather cuts, beanie hats, heavy denim and boots like
I'd be in pants and flip flops dripping with sweat
I watched the Laurel County Docs on Sky Documentaries. I thought they were pretty good if you are into your late 60's / early 70's west LA music scene type stuff.
New series of Last Chance U out soon on Netflix on American college football. Last few series have been excellent and made me appreciate American football.
The Heist of the Century, an Argentinian true story is a very good film available now on Sky Cinema.
In recent years I have been disappointed with the drama on sky one and sky witness but following the recommendation of @Carter, I watched Condor. It is really good and well acted. Series 2 is 3 episodes in.
Some will know I like French drama and fortunately there are some new one's on More 4/Walter Presents. Detective Cain, A Deadly Union and The Other Mother are all worth a watch.
Norwegian political/family drama about the opening up of the oil industry in Stavenger. Mix of English and subtitles. The 1960's sets and costume were brilliant, as is the score and from start to finish it was really well acted and easy to engage with the characters.
The main female lead, Anne Regine Ellingsæter is a star in the making.
Just watching the new series on Channel 5 ‘The Deceived’ Did anyone else just notice our badge on the wall of the pub?! Set in Ireland...
Yes I did and you beat me to it! She walks into a pub in Donegal and it's slap bang in the centre of the wall. I spotted it before it was even in focus (sad). I reckon guinness addick put it there.

Haven’t seen the programme, however this has happen to me, when I walked into a pub in a little village called Lettermacaward in Donegal. I’ll have a look to see if it’s the same pub.
Started watching it’s always sunny in Philadelphia. Hilarious, happy to work my way through 14 seasons.
possibly the best comedy ever. how far have you got? season 1 is great but it doesn't really start until season 2
Sorry just seen this. I’ve stalled slightly the last week, so still on series 2 but will definitely start watching again.
Does it get better beyond series 2? Done the first two and really struggling apart from the odd moment, each episode just seems to be them screaming at each other half the time.

Not sure if i have missed it, but started Little Birds last night. Different but ok, not quite sure what to make of it just yet but ill stick with only done 2 episodes.

I agree, I’d actually hope neither Abel or Thomas were in a prequel and they concentrated on the club rather then Jax’s family. Just think they wouldn’t do that and the sequel would see Abel ‘doing a Jax’.
Thanks for advice on Mayans S2, might give it another shot.

Just finished season two and enjoyed it. Hope the new school in the Next two seasons is as good.

Have watched all five series. Series 3 and 4 set at Independence College in Kansas is a great watch especially the coach Jason Brown.
Never really liked American football until I watched this.
Felt like shouting at the screen and saying come on guys, do your classes, this is your chance to change your lives. The lady who was their educational coordinator was a bloody saint.

A really gripping watch - so many of the students one step away from life going down the pan.

Beach looked lovely though
It's a follow in to sons of anarchy and focuses on their opposite number and sometimes mortal enemy the Mayans
A couple of familiar faces crop up but its definitely on it's own. Second series is better than the first

The new series of Umbrella Academy is on Netflix, which is equally as good.

Just checked it’s not the same pub.
