Another sleepless night, another series binge watched. Cleaning Up on Netflix. Enjoyed it. Quite light weight but an easy watch. Sheridan Smith is good and a few old faithfuls in Lloyd Owen, Con O’Neill etc.0
-
Watched the first 3 episodes of the new Kate Winslett series on Sky Atlantic - The Regime. Political satire where she is the head of a fictional eastern European state. Will probably finish it, but not sure so far. Don't quite get the message it is supposed to be passing on and its not actually that funny.1

Sorry, but cleaning up was one of the worst programmes of the last 10 years.Sillybilly said:Another sleepless night, another series binge watched. Cleaning Up on Netflix. Enjoyed it.

Finished watching Vigil (series 2) worth a watch as was series 1.1

Enjoyed the last few rounds of University Challenge .. Amol Rajan has done a great job lightening up proceedings following on from the very stern Jezza Paxman .. iPlayer2

Just finished 'Under The Banner of Heaven' on - I think - Disney+ Basedon a true story of a horrific murder, so quite dark/deep (and damning of the Mormon faith), but wife and I enjoyed it and now need something else to watch...

But how can ONE man be so intelligent that he can answer correctly within a few seconds of the question on SO many varying subjects ?
I realise there is at least one contestant in every series that fills this profile but we continue to watch open mouthed, shouting out " How the hell did he know that ?"

Davo55 said:Highly recommend This Town on BBC One. Two episodes in and totally hooked. Set in 1981, focusing on an extended family in Birmingham and Coventry during both race riots and the IRA bombing campaign. Great music too, with some real banging reggae and ska tracks.
Drama at its best IMO. Me and Mrs MAM sat through all espisodes as we couldn't wait. Great music, great memories too.

Saw the first episode (40 minutes of it against my better judgement, as I wanted to give it a fair shot). Wont be bothering with the rest.Clem_Snide said:Watched the first 3 episodes of the new Kate Winslett series on Sky Atlantic - The Regime.

Just finished the first episode of the new Fallout Series on Prime. Based on the game franchise. Pretty good start.3

Always very humbling watching Fanny .. interesting how Imperial College, a science, technology & medicine based institution, has a very good recent record .. good to see so many VERY VERY clever young people using their talents to study these much needed subjects which will be vital to the world's future, rather than purely dry academic history/philosophy like topics ..Fanny Fanackapan said:

Have done the first episode of Fallout, as a big fan of the games think it caught the feel and aesthetic very well.

Benidorm was excellent, some great lines that could be easily missed.HastingsRed said:Not new but been watching some old re-runs of Benidorm on channel 56 (Very).
Donald & Jacquine from the MSA in the first few seasons got some pearlers4 -

Yes, that's our bolt hole when there's nothing else we can find to watch. Some magnificent script in the earlier series, but think it left a lot to be desired once the Garveys left. Donald and Jacqueline are top notch.

I prefer the golden years when Footlights College, Oxbridge played Scumbag College. Classic.Lincsaddick said:

A very promising start to the third series of Wisting on BBC 4 last night. Excellent Scandinavian drama.
Just watched Oppenheimer. Found it ok, but far too long imo.2 -
Just started watching Fallout, pretty impressed with Gary Neville so far…1
-
Watching Ripley on Netflix. Slow, dark, arty, black and white, beautifully shot and acted.
loving it.2 -
Been watching "A Gentleman in Moscow" streaming on Paramount+
Released every Fridays... Only up to Episode Three, but been a really "fun" / interesting show - Ewan McGregor is great as the main cast0 -
Blue lights back tonight and all episodes on BBC iPlayer. First series really good. Watched first two of new series tonight and am enjoying it.4

Just finished Ghosts of Beirut on Paramount...'true story' (well, based on research, as no-one knows exactly what happened) about the hunt for Imad Mughniyeh, a founding member of Islamic Jihad...really well put together and obvs a decent budget behind it...4 x 1 hour episodes and each of them brilliant tv.

It's been a great Spring for TV - Shogun, Ripley, Three Bodies and Gentleman in Moscow are all top class adaptations of excellent books. Only watched one episode of Fallout but like the retro-futuristic design and looking forward to more.2

Weve been trying with Fallout and having never played the game unlike with the last of us I have no prior knowledge or headstart.
It is thoroughly mental, utterly. I have no idea whats going on, at best a loose grasp of what the female lead is up to but beyond that, yes its a dystopian, post apocalyptic scenescape, the 1950s stuff, if I'm honest is pissing me off. I will persist but in truth I'm edging towards wishing the budget got allocated to the Lord of the rings series instead0
