Very very good and the guy from years and years was a standout. What an Angel his friend was. And Keeley Hawes acting her socks off in the last episode

Started this last night, watched a couple of episodes so far, very good, and very interesting, I'm a 90s kid so AIDS was mostly understood by then, so to see people that naive to eat a decade earlier is eye opening.

I think what makes the series so good is that it really captures the level of bigotry, fear and ignorance from the time. So much of people's lives had to be hidden to appease their families.
Binge watched Our Friends in the North (box set) this week ... no idea how I missed it when it first came out in the 90’s.
Terrific drama and more or less kick-started the careers of the four main characters, Christopher Eccleston, Mark Strong, Daniel Craig, and Gina McKee.
Superb supporting actors including Alun Armstrong, Peter Vaughan, Malcolm McDowell, David Bradley, Tony Haygarth, and Julian Fellowes.
Keep repeating myself each week but WandaVision gets better with each passing week.
If you can be patient enough to wait for the next episode on a weekly basis then now is the time to start watching as its beginning to hot up.
Wondered how the MCU would turn out after EndGame but the way things are shaping up (and with Kevin Feige at the helm) they could very well just be getting started - The latest twist at the end of todays episode either a proper red herring or just a taster of how mad things could become.
Wouldn't put it past Feige to have his foot on both pedals!! - Just one word of caution, if you do intend to focus on the MCU films (and ignore these shows), then in true Disney smarts, he's already confirmed that things wont make sense in the films if you dont watch these shows.
Certainly one way to get people's money
I don't know about the films not making sense of you don't watch the shows, FA. As I have never watched the films or the shows, I hardly understand a word of this post... 🥴😁

I was able to watch that when it came out, but I certainly didn't remember he was in it! Or those other well known names in support roles.
Everyone still remembers Bleasdale's Liverpool based dramas, and this one gets overlooked a bit.

Mark Strong is quietly superb in almost everything I’ve seen him in. Great actor.
Based on recommendations here (and, bizarrely, from Patrick Valence on TV), me and Mrs Charente are screaming through Spiral at the rate of knots, now one of my all time favourites.
Any comedy recommendations? Just blasted my way through Superstore - looking for something with 20 minute episodes on netflix/prime/terrestrial
Is superstore any good? I started watching a while ago and got through about half an episode. Thought it was dreadful. Should I have given it a chance?
Anyone who hasn't seen it I can't recommend the office highly enough
Dwight Kurt Schrute became my TV hero way back. The first 2 series mirror the UK office and whilst it had its very very funny moments it doesn't hit its stride until series 3 when they do their own thing and it hits the stratosphere and becomes possibly my favourite comedy.
I cant imagine there are many people left who haven't seen it but if there are jump aboard

As others have said, Veep is fantastic if you are a fan of the Thick of It. One of my top 10 comedies of all time. Going by the first season Brooklyn Nine-Nine is also good fun

It’s not life changing, but it’s enjoyable nonsense. Has become my “falling asleep” show.
Onto season 4 of Gomorra now (definitely hit a falling asleep show!), about five episodes in and I’m worried that it’s gone off the tracks a little bit. There’s an episode shot in London that’s a good, pretty much stand alone, story similar to the series 3 episode set in Bulgaria.
'This Fishing Life' on BBC .. NOT about Grimsby but Cornwall .. tough way to make a living, but very lucrative when it goes well
Ended up watching most of this series and grown to really enjoy it, not sure what it is that's charming about it, maybe as I spent a lot of holidays in Devon and Cornwall and my parents would take(drag) me to places like Cadgwith but it's interesting to see real peoples lives in what is a tough way of living but seems very rewarding (when going well!)

At the risk of fast becoming the expert on Danish series, another was binge watched over the past couple of evenings here in Wadhurst.
And it proved to be another triumph for our very own Great Dane's kith & kin.
1st episode on Channel 4 ( Walter Presents) followed by the entire 6 episodes on All 4, entitled Deliver Us.
Another one for your growing list of " must sees" with the twist in the final scene indicating the likelihood of a follow up to come.
Next !
Third episode was the standout.

I'd also recommend Community and Silicon Valley
