    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.
    Where can that be watched VG? I'm guessing it's not one of the main streaming services?

    Paramount+ is the only main streaming service that shows it.

    Just started the excellent Zero Zero Zero. 
    Fans of Gomorrah and Narcos will love it
    Just finished the first episode. Liking the look of this.

    The scene with the young girl in the market was a bit much  :o

    Having watched Narcos Mexico season 3, Zero Zero Zero and El Chapo recently, I got interested in Mexico's politics and drug trade. I then found a limited series about the assassination of their presidential candidate Colosio in the 1990's: Historia de un crimen: Colosio. The murder was mentioned in Narcos Mexico season 3. This series is very good. It's a 2019 Netflix production. The actor who plays El Mayo in Narcos Mexico has a big part in it. Great soundtrack too. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes series based on true events. 


    I don't know if you like novels but if you're interested in Mexican politics and cartels (and the effect of the USA's war on drugs), I'd heartile recommend Don Winslow's trilogy on the subject, starting with "the Power of the Dog".

     Any series that uses the farmyard pig as a means of human 'evidence' disposal is alright in my book!

    As BBW says paramount +, who are doing a free trial I believe. Or alternatively, like me, if you have IPTV.

    My mate is the English dubbed voice of the dad in this.

    I think I win the “Most Tenuous Link to Celebrity” award.😎

    I just started to watch Snowfall yesterday. The first episode is very interesting. Has anyone watched this? Seeing as it has four or five more seasons and is still going, if it's great then I have a lot of materials to watch😂

    I was looking forward to Mayor of Kingstown but having watched two episodes I decided to give it up. I like Jeremy Renner and Kyle Chandler but simply couldn't stand the confusing way of storytelling in this series. A lot of things didn't make sense to me. And I didn't like Jeremy Renner's character. I couldn't get past episode one of Yellowstone so I guess Sheridan's work is generally not my cup of tea. 
    Snowfall is wicked keep with it 👍🏽

    Was looking forward to Toast of Tinsletown but having watched 3 episodes so far I'm really disappointed, not a patch on Toast of London.

    Yeah, agreed. It’s a bit weird because I can’t put my finger on why it’s not as good. But it just isn’t. (So far, anyway!)
    I think it needs more Ray Purchase!

    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. 
    Ah, wondered what that meant :)

    New series of Ozark tomorrow. 

    Hidden Assets on BBC4 is very good.

    After Life season 3- Netflix, binged it in one night on Sunday. Brilliant and heartwarming, really do love the whole series personally.

    Binged the lot yesterday. Very good. Leaves you wanting more but also accepting closure after one season. Potential for more, though, I believe, so it will be interesting to see how it pans out.

    Quite a lot of crossover of the production teams for both this and Gomorrah. Main reason why they seem similar.

    It bored me to a stupor. Even Stephen Graham couldn’t save it.

    Won’t be everybody’s cup of tea, especially as it’s a K drama, but I really enjoyed Memories of Alhambra on Netflix. Pace can be a bit slow at times as like all K dramas it is over 16 one hour episodes.

    Much as I loved Zero Zero Zero I still found some parts of it not so realistic, especially the Italian storyline. I quite liked the performance of the actor that played the villain sergeant though. He also played a similar character in the El Chapo series - both based on Lazcano, the ruthless drug dealer and leader of the Los Zetas cartel in real life.
     Bit of a spoiler alert.

    Yeah, the bit that for me was that they were transporting 5 tonne of coke through Isis controlled areas and the Jihadis only took a small cut for their trouble. The reality is that they would've taken the whole lot I suppose and stuck them in a ditch.

    I’ve nearly finished it and find it pretty good, but sometimes the plot tests your credulity a bit, and strangely I dont like most  of the characters who are supposed to be the good guys. In fact my favourite is the tall Israeli army woman who is in charge of the control room, watching all the action on screens. Can’t get enough of her!
