I cant remember if i have mentioned before but back on Below Deck - Netflix, they have uploaded a couple of new series, CH4 did bring out a Mediterranean version but the main cast wasn't as good IMO
For anyone who hasn't seen or heard, its basically about yachting, they get all sorts of guests and demands and also have the trouble of not getting on or getting a bad deckhand etc. I find it quite interesting and easy to binge/watch. A bit of a reality show but something different, some of the cast you really will dislike and others you will enjoy. Personally i would start series 1 and see how you get on, wont be for everyone1 -
The first couple of seasons of Motherland were really good but their recent Christmas special was one of the least funny 'comedies' I've watched for a while.1

Christmas special wasn't great, but this series of Motherland is top notch, watching Julia's mid life crisis and the interplay between Kev and Liz is just brilliant.2

Really enjoyed The Nest.
Emotional thriller, unusual story line of surrogacy. Five parts, on iplayer. (Starring Steve Arnott from line of duty).

The Hunter on All 4 depicting the true story of the Anti Mafia capturing main mafia leaders in Palermo is a good watch. On Prime you can get a free 7 day pass for Arrow, so finally getting round to watching Gomorrah.2

Watchmen, the TV show, not the film. Late to this. Doesn't have an awful lot to do with the comics by Moore and Gibbons but as a policier it stands up. I'm half-way through season 1 and hoping season 2 keeps up the standard.1

Mare of Easttown on Now TV. Pretty good imo3

I finished off The Spy on Netflix. Thought it was average, good enough to keep my attention and a good story but I wasn't sure about some of the acting. I struggled to not see Borat in Sacha Baron Cohen, he uses very very similar mannerisms. Also Noah Emmerichs accent was terrible the whole way through.
Now watching Band of Brothers. Have never wanted to watch it before as even though there are definitely exceptions, I've not really liked anything WW2/WW1 related (Darkest Hour, Dunkirk, 1917) and honestly thought Band of Brothers looked like it'd be boring but how wrong I was. Think it's incredible, certainly up there with my favourites and can see myself watching every episode a few times.
I completely agree and wish I'd waited. I rattled through the first couple but not too fussed about it now that I can't binge watch the rest.Jessie said:
I've been looking forward to this one since I watched the trailer. I don't like waiting for episodes between weeks so I'm going to binge it when the whole series finishes airing😀cafcsinger said:Mare of Easttown on Now TV. Pretty good imo1 -

Inside No 9 was good tonight.3

I think you're right. I'd seen headlines about it but hadn't read the articles. Having done so, I can see they're all of the "isn't going to happen" variety.Jints said:

Anyone give 'The Pact' a go last night? Easy watcher, 6 episodes so undoubtedly will get dragged in. Hilariously stupid plot moments - drunk boss at a party, bundle him into the boot of a car and leave him sat in a freezing cold woods for a 'prank'. What could go wrong...entertaining enough though. Thought the acting was half decent in fairness, but woke brigade BBC stampmark all over it. Main characters all females, arsehole male boss displaying every stereotypical negative male trait (sexist, rude, druggy etc) and the chief copper for a show set in Wales...no comment.
What amazed me the most was one of the lead 4 ladies was in Breaking Bad. Didn't place her at all.
On the how often did I check my phone for footy scores scale, it was an every 10 min update job1 -
Watched the whodunnit on the other side (ITV) last night 'Innocent'. Quite promising first episode with strong performances all round. Made by the Unforgotten team so good pedigree. The lead Katherine Kelly is particularly good and has the kind of facial features which appear drab and worn out in one shot and very alluring in the next.0

Finished it. Glad to see it tied in a lot more with the Moore/Gibbons work and thoroughly enjoyed it. Had a nice cliffhanger of an ending, too.AddicksAddict said:Watchmen, the TV show, not the film.

Jeremy Irons was very impressive but then he does have serious acting chops.0 -
What is it with ITV dramas? They start so promisingly and then halfway through go completely tits up.Dugdaleclass said:Watched the whodunnit on the other side (ITV) last night 'Innocent'.

This was another example. There are countless more.3 -
Utterly predictable - me, the wife and even the mother in law, all called it after first episodecarly burn said:

Still, as long as I have memories of The Drowning this is nowhere near the worst ITV drama of recent times

anybody watched Start-up on Netflix? I've just done the first episode - sex, murder and financial crime0

The Subnormal documentary shown on BBC last night was utterly shocking - so many black children let down in the education system.0

Started it this week after a mate had recommended it. First season done. Personal opinion is its watchable without being great.Croydon said:anybody watched Start-up on Netflix? I've just done the first episode - sex, murder and financial crime2 -
This weeks Inside Number 9 was a return to form.
Only just started Mare of Easttown, bnged the first 5 episodes and now wishing I had waited for the whole series to be available.
Have also binged the whole of the new season of Fargo. I am hugely biased towards the Cohen brothers and while season 3 and this one didn't come close to season 1 and 2 it was still good viewing. Chris Rock (who I am not a fan of in any way shape or form) was very good.2 -
Really like series 2 of ‘Meet the Richardsons’ on Dave. Whole series worth it for the moment he tries to give a letter to his idol Marcelo Bielsa1

Friends, if you have a VPN you might want to check out what the Australian broadcaster SBS has to offer. For ages I've been doing my nut trying to get series 5 of the brilliant French spy series Le Bureau, ready to pay (but not to take out a subscription), but not even finding it on the darkweb. Finally I read an article which led me to SBS ON Demand. I assumed it would ask me to pay, and then maybe turn down my foreign card, but it's totally free. Give 'em an email address to confirm and yer good to go, Aussie. Stream on the VPN is 100% too, which I can't say for iPlayer or All4. I haven't even looked at what else they have yet, but if they bought the Bureau, they've got taste!3

Is anyone else as massively disappointed with Series 4 of FARGO as I am? It's all style over substance. So dark and moodily shot that it's difficult to work out who's who. It's so in awe of its hip look that it's forgotten about the necessity of interesting characters and a good plot.1
