Has anyone seen 'This is us' on Amazon Prime? Only started watching it about 4 days ago and have just finished episode 15. It is seriously good if you like swooping inter-generational family dramas. Superd writing, acting and the way the story is told with time-line shifts and flashbacks from the 40s to the present day is very effective.
Yeah have seen the first series. Is season 2 on there? My mum suggested it last year after she saw the first episode and the shock at the ending and we were hooked.

one of my favourite shows, really good characters and only 1 slightly weak episode in the 2 seasons

going to have to find where to watch it now
Rumour has it that it can be found with one of those Kodi boxes.
I am not giving up on McMafia, but certainly last week's episode left me feeling that it isn't living up to expectations. Seems to me that the main reason is that expectations are based around the quality of The Night Manager. It's got most of the same ingredients; high production values, authentic location, investment in casting, topical and thought-provoking theme. People are focusing on the casting as not delivering but more significiant is that the storyline framework for The Night Manager is provided by a master: Le Carre. McMafia is inspired by a book which is not a novel. It has had to create its own storyline from scratch. The Night Manager cast were able to sit down and read their richly described characters. The much criticised James Norton does not have that advantage, his character is a product only of the TV scriptwriters.
I read somewhere that the BBC considered a sequel to The Night Manager - which would have been a throughly bad idea. I suspect McMafia was their alternative. Perhaps they should just go back to other Le Carre novels which have not yet been turned into films. Their version of "Tinker Tailor" in the 80s remains one of their finest ever dramas.
Brittania felt like it was trying too hard to be the next must see box set show. My gut says that it'll be another Sky Original dud (whoever commissions their stuff must have something on the Murdoch's) but I'll give it another episode.
I thought it must have cost a fortune with the cast, and looked good, but wtf'd my way through most of it. the script seemed a bit baffling and i spent most of it on wiki/imdb looking up who people were as i recognised them but couldn't place them. I couldn't wait till it finished to look them up as i didn't know what was happening and wasn't that hooked. will watch ep 2 and see if it holds my attention, but i'm not sure about it.
Not much of a fan of police procedural but been binge watching Bosch up to the middle of season 3 which has got better with each series. Some funny moments in it too. Sounds like the books might be worth a read too.
Britannia isn't my cup of tea but much of it was shot in the Czech Republic, dontcha' know. I know that canyon with the green lake at the bottom of it. They closed it to the public a while back, way too hairy a climb down and back. Not sure the Czech locations really evoke a bygone British age, although the price of beer does just that :-)
Brittania has all the attributes to succeed, big budget, decent actors and an exciting context for the story line - but the story telling itself is a massive let down.
Episode one should have been scene setting, getting you used to that period in British history, how the people lived and meeting the characters - that way you'd give a shit when the invasion starts. Also, all the Romans having English accents is confusing.

That seems to be the premise of most Sky exclusive TV series , drama or comedy.
Nearly everything they do seems to be style over substance.
Netflix manage to get it right for a good percentage of the time , i'm not sure why SKY can't manage it.

Now watching Manhunt Unabomber. Much better.

Not new but just started watching Vikings on Prime. 2 seasons in and really enjoying it
