    Irvine Welsh's Crime....excellent crime drama based in and around Edinburgh. The main characters flawed personality is very watchable.

    Bancroft.....I love the series, hate the woman playing the Bancroft character, very good over two series.
    I loved Crime. And Guilt. Especially recognising places in Edinburgh

    Watched the first episode of Rules of the Game on BBC1 last night ....

    .....and then stayed up until 2am watching the 3 others via iPlayer ! 

    We thought it was superb with an outstanding performance from Maxine Peake. 

    DEFINITELY worth the 4 hours & less sleep than usual  ! 
    I was going to give it a miss as read mixed views. But my total faith in Fanny means I'll give it a watch

    That chase scene where everyone pootles along in first gear wasn't the show's finest hour.

    It was the slowest high speed chase I’ve ever seen! That whole story line was dreadful though.

    The whole show has been pretty awful so far. Lead actor must have studied tree stumps for hours to get into character

    First 2 episodes were really good, not sure what the deal was with number 3 maybe they needed to literally slow things down or it was an in-joke that I didn't get 

    The evil big black wooky I very much like and admire his appetite for a rumble

    Finished the first season of Wheel of Time....loved it and cant wait for season 2 (Prime)

    Just finished season 2 of The Witcher. Made all the more enjoyable now by the little mini films explaining whos who and whats what. (Netlfilx)

    One for the foreign series lovers...

    A French who dunnit called The Promise. Excellent acting and a great story line. The main character, Sofia Essaidi, adds to the appeal for those liking a bit of French eye candy.

    Its available on SBS

    Why is everything on Boba Fett so slow?

    I put it down to the old fella playing Fettnot being able to keep up with the action?

    Then again,Alec Guinness never slowed down star wars

    Don't think that's totally fair, I feel like Episode 1 + 2 were essentially one long prologue which overall was pretty good.

    Ep 3 was crap though, I didn't mind the plot points overall but the new mod characters were just awful and the chase was shite. I blame the director, Robert Rodrigues, he did the episode in Mando S2 when they reintroduced Boba properly on the planet with the Jedi Temple, and I hated the way that was filmed too.

    Definitely needs to pull something out of the bag in the next couple of episodes though or its gunna feel like a proper missed opportunity.

    The backstory stuff in E2 of Boba Fett was quite good so I was excited going into E3 and was really disappointed. Hope this new “mod gang” aren’t going to feature massively in the rest of the series.

    Just favourited it. Is it just the one season? If not, will leave be until it's finished.

    Yeah, it was a limited series so won't be any future ones. 

    It's very good. A sort of mash up between Gomorra and Narcos Mexico. Good plot, well acted.

    Im a Star Wars fan but im also a fan of well acted/scripted TV. So far this show isn't delivering on that 2nd part.

    Just finished S2, it’s good (not as good as Last Chance U) but got pretty dark this series…

    I didn’t realise there are only two teams in Navarro’s division!

    Just watched the first couple of episodes with Mrs SN. Enjoying it despite a few glaring HR inaccuracies (striking someone in the workplace in full view is instant dismissal). Maxine Peake is excellent but my goodness the poor cow gets to play some miserable parts!!!!

    Yes. Loved it. Disappointed they cancelled the series. Maybe Netflix will take up the franchise.

    Finished watching it last night - enjoyed it but the plot just got ridiculous for me by the end.

    Have you seen The Last Narc on Netflix @Jessie ?

    Brilliant Documentary about the DEA and Mexican Cartel.

    Watched it all about two years ago, keep looking to see if a new season is going to be filmed as really enjoyed it.

    Also, I know for a fact that Yellowstone wouldn't be my kind of thing but 1883 is superb. First 5 episodes have been spot on.
