    Some of these have gone right under my radar (not counting the 3 that got off the train). Genuinely cannot remember even seeing Anna in the 2 episodes so far and just noticed Joe/Dan are two different people !!

    Primarni needs to get kicked out, most annoying Traitor ever and that is saying something when Linda is one as well.

    Can't see Armani or Linda lasting long, Minah's the Traitor to watch IMHO.

    Just announced that there’s going to be an Irish Traitors with Siobhán McSweeney as the host.
    I may watch the first episode.
    I really haven’t been lured in by any I’ve watched so far despite Claudia.

    Linda is hopeless.

    Yin has a PhD in communication/persuasion or something, I mean, wtf even is that?

    Charlotte pretending she has a Welsh accent.

    It's a good watch.

    Normal Monday night TV for us. Along with Mastermind & University Challenge. Been spoilt this week, as it been on every night.

    Just seen the first Episode of Lockerbie... Excellent but very sad viewing so far.

    The 15-seconds of counting from the Mother towards the end, was a great way to make the viewer truly aware of how long a time that is

    I was only five at the time, so dont know much about it, even from the little reading I've done - So looking forward to watching the remaining Episodes to find just went on, as from the first viewing, it really looks like some sort of cover up

    Seen a lot of bad reviews of Squid Game 2, but i thought it was really good. Massive fan of Battle Royale, and it's the closest thing I've seen to that film.

    Also, the casting is absolutely top tier. They've got it spot on both seasons.

    Watched two episodes of Missing You (Netflix). A very well known cast but it soon all gets rather weird! It’s Harlon Coban so not sure why I’m surprised. And I’ve always thought Steve Pemberton was a bit creepy…

    Anyone who is a fan of Squid Game should watch Alice in Borderland, also on Netflix. Similar concept, but I actually think is better.

    Agree we’re two and a bit episodes in and my wife likes it but I’ve tuned out. The Coben televised series are very formulaic and even a stellar cast can’t raise the wooden acting and clicheéd characters.  The fact that she has a massive hot spot for Richard Armitage is probably a factor for Mrs SB. She was devastated when I casually mentioned that he is gay.

    Strike. The Inkblot whatever.  Kept watching due to the will they/wont they love interest side story but the main plot is a yawn. As someone with limb difference (I am advised that this is the appropriate PC terminology for having one leg!), I am being extremely annoying to Mrs SB by continually pointing out the ridiculousness of the actor playing Strike  attempting to pretend that he has one leg, albeit only a below knee amputation. It really is quite funny how his stride alters in different scenes to the point where I’m not sure what leg is supposed to be missing. A bit of an “in” thing for me obviously.

    Not a new one but iPlayer just threw up ”Here We Go”.  A two series comedy set in COVID times. Has a sort of Gavin and Stacey feel but not as good. Alison Steadman’s presence helps this.  I’m two episodes and quite enjoying it.

    Certainly weird but still watchable. Added interest for me is spotting familiar local locations where parts were filmed. The bandstand where the yoga class was taking place (episode 3) was in a Sefton Park, South Liverpool close to where I live. As was a street view in the same episode filmed outside a house in Cressington Park.

    Just finished season 2 and thought it was good. Don't understand the criticism really. Yes, some of  the dialogue is a bit repeated and drawn out and the games aren't as gory/good as season 1, but the characters are much better. Interested to see where they go with it in season 3.

    Got to episode 3 of Missing You but I think I'm done, life’s too short to waste it on meh television.

    Can't believe Anna went off your radar, has a couple of outstanding qualities.

    I think Maia will win but having not watched the first two series I don't know if traitors or faithfuls normally win.

    I loved that. Not sure how they're going about season 3 - I know the ending of season 2 left a bit of an opening for it, but thought the story was wrapped up really well at the end. It'll probably be shite 😒

    For about a month after finishing it, I was hearing ARISU!!! in my sleep 🤣

    4 episodes in and loving it. BBT is his usual brilliant self. Really warming to the son and the daughter has her moments. The ex-wife is awful though and a right pain in the arse.

    He eats up every scene he's in doesn't he 

    Jon Hamm is good in it too, I've never really got him but he is playing this role really well

    Took full advantage of the free viewing offer by Apple TV over the weekend...so that's the first two series of Slow Horses done (brilliant), a couple of Masters of the Air (loud and confusing) and few Bad Sisters (which the wife liked). I even watched a couple of the Ted Lasso (mainly for the lovely Hannah W) syrupy guff.

    We watched The 3 Body Problem on Netflix this week and it started really well and was really interesting I felt it became less interesting the further into the story we got, and the 'Finale' was a bit disappointing. Hopefully the next season can pick up a bit :)

    Finished Lockerbie yesterday. Strong start, but it tailed off quite alarmingly imo. Ended up watching the last episode simply because I'd watched the previous 4.

    Binged Black Doves.  Utterly bonkers with plot holes all over the place but enjoyable watch.

    Playing Nice - thought the first episode was good although I’ve seen some reviews absolutely slating it.

    Just finished it tonight and I’d humbly disagree, thought it was excellent all the way through.

    Same old story.Another chaotic ITV drama. Clumsy and far fetched.
    Moaned about the absurdity of it for the first 20 mins and went off and did something else.
    My missus will watch it until the end, and then moan to her mum in a few weeks about how sh*t it was!
