    For All Mankind on Apple TV, very good space drama. It's an alternative stroyline for the space race, brilliantly done.

    All time favourites:

    The Sopranos (untouchable for me)
    The Wire
    House of Cards
    Ozark
    Mad Men
    Boardwalk Empire
    Breaking Bad

    Enjoyed Stranger Things.

    Just started watching Severance on Apple and not sure what to make of it but will carry on.

    Enjoyed Wednesday and quite liked Kaleidoscope (both Netflix).

    I liked The Witcher and Last of Us games, so will give them a bash (how long til a God of War series?)

    Quite nice that the Last of Us is not 100% faithful to the game story.

    I have really enjoyed the beginning of the 2 eps where we have had extra elements of the story added in to show the beginnings/precursor to the outbreak, especially as it gives those of us who have played the game added value -if it was just a clean re-telling of the story from the game we would know all the plot points. Hopefully that continues through the series.

    Everyone Else Burns. New Simon Bird “comedy” on C4. FFS!  That is all.  
    Obviously the Guardian gave it 4 out of 5. I don't think i've ever agreed with a review in that shit rag.

    Yes, read somewhere about the dead being connected via underground networks of fungus. The game creator was gutted he did not think of that. Enjoyed the last two episodes

    Shameless plug but my niece is the main character in the latest episode of doctors on bbc. I’ve never watched a single episode before but proud uncle moment.
    OOH ! The one on at lunchtime today ? 

    Well done, young lady !

    On a similar note my youngest Jamie appears on  BBC2 Digging for Britain on Sunday evening. You can watch it on iplayer already. 41 minutes in of Series 10 episode 4.

    Anyone watching Physical 100 on Netflix?

    Strangely fascinating in a Squid games sort of way. 

    Looking forward to episode 3

    I think I played the last of us waaaay back in 2014 and it seems pretty accurate to the game so far but my memory has no doubt tossed details aside 

    Pedro Pascal is a good call but my only criticism is his voice is slightly too high pitched even if he has got the Texan accent perfected 

    To help me refresh me memory, the scene with Tess wasn't the creatures in the game but the cops who she held off rather than the infected I saw that slight difference, I cant recall why the fireflies chose Joel in the game but all those scenes seemed different too

    I’m enjoying the fourth season of Babylon Berlin, the story takes a long time to settle but the characters , set n filming are as brilliant as ever.
    SO pleased to hear that you're enjoying Babylon Berlin, @Shrew.

    I've extolled its virtues more than once on here but seemingly no-one else had taken a look...

    We absolutely loved all the series to date.
    Joining in with you guys on this. BB one of our favourites. I believe the next series will be the final one, sadly.

    Michael MacIntyres Big Show. An overweight middle aged man skips about a stage, squealing like a 4 year old girl on Christmas morning, playing unfunny 'pranks' on various pisspoor celebrity volunteers for a whole fucking hour at peak time Saturday night. Every week is a repeat of the last.

    A large heavy section of the lighting rig falls from the ceiling, grievously injuring him. The show is cancelled, and we all live happily ever after.

    I agree with you re this week's episode, but can't help wondering why you watch at least some of it every single week?

    Yes and its fantastic, very darkly funny and well done, thoroughly recommend it. There is a bit of Ray in all of us, maybe just me

    Agreed. I bloody love Raquel

    Hunters Season 2 is on Prime now. Loved season 1, Season 2 really good too. Has just the right balance of sinister followed by surreal to keep me happy! (Sound of Music homage was brilliant!).

    Yes, different class.

    Seemed to simmer rather than boil - understandable and appropriate in getting ready for the big one next week.

    My prediction for the finale is

    The son kills Tommy whilst Tommy is attacking Catherine

    So the latest episode of Last of Us was…er…unexpected.

    A bit oversexualised if you ask me, but beautifully written.
