    Rattled through series 3 of Cobra Kai.

    I can't put my finger on why this should be shit but is bloody excellent??
    Its ridiculous... Child Gangs effectively going round beating the shit out of each other

    and the police are never anywhere to be found!!

    Was beginning to worry no one else would bother with it seeing its not had another mention on this thread as yet

    Does The Serpent liven up as it goes on, just watched episode one and was under whelmed after reading the some of the comments above.
    Yes, most definitely.

    Stick with it - just finished the series and thought it was really good.

    Gave up on succession quite quickly. May go back and watch again. 

    Enjoying Tinstar Liverpool. 

    Enjoying the Serpent, Bridgetown and tonight started The Great. Might need to finish Bridgetown before carrying on with The Great. 

    Haven’t managed to re watch schitts creek yet but will do it soon. I didn’t ‘get’ it at first, and didn’t like any of them and now I can’t work out who is my favourite as I love them all!

    Anyone watching A Teacher on BBC2 about a female teacher who has an illicit affair with a Student? 

    Based in America but enjoyed the first four 25 minute episodes. 10 episodes in all finishes on Thursday.

    Succession is worth sticking with. S2 is up there with the very best series'.

    For me Succession is the best show of the last few years but I loved it right from the start. All of the characters are horrible and there is not really anyone to root for which puts some people off.

    Can't recommend Succession enough. I love the characters and storyline, even the repeating piano score is superb.

    My missus loved it but not my kind of thing at all. Seemed the script consisted of mainly people dancing at a ball or shagging

    PWR, in case anyone’s already posted?

    This isn’t new but just watched, Satan and Adam on Netflix. If you like music documentaries and in particular the blues, it’s a good watch and heartwarming.

    I've not caught up with the 3rd series yet but will soon I'm sure. Really enjoyed season 1 and 2 and look forward to binging (is that a word?) Series 3.

    Not new but I'm having a giggle watching Deadbeat on Prime. Bizarre and very off-beat and naughty!

    I've been tearing through 'Staged' this week. Very funny webcam comedy that's set during the pandemic. Michael Sheen and David Tennant are both excellent playing exaggerated versions of themselves.

    It was terrible but thoroughly enjoyable. It’s definitely a guilty pleasure, acting is average at best and some of the karate is woeful. I still loved it though!

    Thats it, no acting awards will be dished out but its just such good entertainment. The lines are obvious but they were in Karate Kid and they have got the balance right of nostalgia and moving the plot along.

    Just finished Ozark series 3. Just so good. The brother is a superb actor.

    Finally finished Schitt's Creek. That has to be as good as a 6 season sitcom gets, it started off great, got better and ended perfectly. So many characters all of which you actually care about and genuinely funny

    I was so sad when it was over. I’m watching again from the start next week when I’m off work.

    Just restarted it for the 3rd time. It's brilliant!
    You guys need to help me out here. I watched the first episode yesterday, is that an indication of the rest of it? As I was severe scratching my head at the end in thinking how can anyone have found anything to rave about with this pile of poop!
    I've watched it all the way through and didn't like it as much as others (I wouldn't watch it a second time). Like you, I really hated it at first and only continued because it had had so many positive reviews and awards. It definately improves from about mid way through the first series as the awful charaters become more well-rounded and start to learn from their experience. It ends up being genunely heart warming with some really good moments. For me, it's a solid 8/10
    I'm on  series 4 and have enjoyed it to date. I have to say though that now David is in a serious relationship, it's lost some edge. I liked his angst ridden sarcasm and now he's gone soft and I feel its a bit heavy on the box ticking gay relationship angle. Will stick with it though, as it's a light relief from most of the murder driven dramas. 

    Just finished S2 of Succession which really grew on me and looking forward to S3. Just started Tin Star now - good so far after 3 episodes.

    Seen mixed reviews but don’t know what it’s about

    Tin Star, for me, started well, lost it's way a bit in season 2 and blew me away in season 3.

    Personally, I think season 3 could be watched without seeing the other 2 series first.

    Hard to describe other shows similar, tho.

    Totally agree......

    Season 1 was good.
    Season 2 was nowhere near as good (and I don't think I even finished it).
    Season 3 was the best of the lot and I don't feel I missed out on anything by not finishing season 2.

    Did anyone else watch the series called 'A Teacher' on BBC 2 every night since Sunday?
    What a crap ending. I felt so cheated.

    Edit to attract @bolloxbolder as I see now that he had already asked the same question.

    Is it just me that thinks that a 30 year old having sex with her 18 year old student isn't such a big deal? It's not to be encouraged but they are consenting adults, and he was more than enthusiastic.

    In this series not only is she ostracized from society but in the end he also turns against her. I thought the series was going to make a completely different statement.

    I'm glad some of you have mentioned Tin Star. I was really tempted to give it a swerve as I hated Season 2. Thanks for highlighting Season 3 is a big improvement, binged 3 episodes last night and totally agree, been excellent.

    I know its not everyones cup of tea, its the definition of Trash TV..

    On netflix The Circle - USA, for anyone who enjoyed UK version on channel four its a must. 

    Its just an easy watch and i loved it and binged it in a few days, just people who live in a hotel but they interact in their own social media world, some are real some are catfish etc and they rank and vote. Its not for everyone but i personally enjoyed it.

    Could everyone mention on what media they've found their series please? (Like @johnnybev1987 above)
