Not at all new.
But I’m 3 episodes into Stranger Things.

I like!
Very Stephen Kingesque.
The soundtrack is cool too 😁

Just finished 1st series. Wasn't bothered about it but our daughter pestered us to watch it (she's 13). Not usually my sort of thing but really enjoyed it. Looking forward to tearing through series 2 & 3 now.

We need to rewatch it before S4, so thank you got the reminder.

Last part of Ozark out now.

Good news. I'm trying to get through Queen of The South (which I think is absolutely awful but the wife enjoys) before watching a series of something else. Ozark finale will probably be the next one.

Binge watched the Ozark finale half season. Utterly bonkers but compelling viewing. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole 4 seasons but if anything was almost inevitably a little disappointed by the last few episodes. Felt like they were trying too hard to bring everything together when it could easily have rumbled on for at least another season. No spoilers. Suffice to say, a big ending and a whole load of deaths throughout the season.  A couple of plot twists for me that were just too silly, especially the return of Wendy’s estranged drunken happy bappy father (played by the bloke who was John Boy Walton), a very public meltdown by Marty that would have seen any of us in prison and trending on social media and an utter red herring from the trailer that was completely pointless to the plot. On the positive side though, when you accept that this is drama and not reality, it is a roller coaster ride. Good to see the return of some previous cast members and most characters were either finished off or had their stories neatly ended. But did the Byrdds get their comeuppance?  You’ll have to watch to find out (and avoid t’internet for a few days as there are spoilers all over the place)

Just just got around to watching the final three episodes of 1883.

it just got grittier after the first couple of episodes and I became really invested in the characters. 

I can count on two fingers the number of programs I've watched that have brought me to tears.... the last episode is just brutal on so many levels. I had to leave the room about 5-6 minutes before the end as it was just too close to home and too much for me. 

I went back and watched it the next day and managed to keep reasonably composed.

what a fantastic portrayal of life and death in 1883. 

Well written and the actors really pulled this off. 

Highly recommended 

It was amazingly well written and the way life then was portrayed was so well handled. I couldn't agree more with what you have said there. The last couple of episodes were gut wrenching. 

I thoroughly recommend Yellowstone

Really struggling with this series of inside No. 9. I know it can be dark and off the wall, but just not getting it.

I thought the first episode was by far the worst they've done, no redeeming features at all in it for me. by contrast I really liked the second ep though it was very odd

Agreed that the second episode was much stronger than the first.

I gave up after 15 mins of episode 1. I've never seen such garbage. 

You mean of the entire programme or just the latest series?

The latest series. I've not seen any previous series.

Yeah I think the general consensus was that the episode was poor, I thought it was ok but certainly not one of the better ones. If you ever consider retrying, I'd recommend Tom and Gerri (S1 Ep 6) or the 12 Days of Christine (S2 Ep 2).

Is the correct answer. In fact, they’ve already made the best episode ever, which is the 12 Days Of Christine.

Honestly think you're best just starting at the start with Inside No9 - Sardines is good and then A Quiet Night In is amazing (that and 12 Days of Christine are the best episodes, for me).

For me in order the best Inside No.9 episodes: The 12 Days Of Christine, Tom & Gerri, Diddle Diddle Dumpling and A Quiet Night In

The Riddle of the Sphinx is really good too!
