Yeah, TBag is a great character and really well played.

Trial of the Chicago 7 is by far the best thing I've seen in an age ..

Just watched the second episode of Alice in Borderland on Netflix, loved it. Dubbed from the original Japanese and very violent but you can't take your eyes off it.

I’m sure most of you will have watched this but I finally got round to watching Broadchurch.

Great series for anyone that has not seen it :tup: season one in particular is brilliant

It is a great piece of tele making Fridge, loved every second. Tennent at his best, Coleman even better

If it's very violent, I'm sure I could take my eyes of it.

Recently discovered Inspector George Gently.

Tackles some difficult contemporary issues through the eyes of the 1960's. Love it.

Just watched season 4 of Fargo.
It's very good, but maybe not quite as good as the first three seasons.

Ozark is worth a watch.

Very Very good, Lee Ingleby is such a good actor, he makes that show. One of my favourite actress names in that show ..Pooky Quesnel.

Not quite as good as Endeavour it's one of our best

Will see if I can find Endeavour.

Stan Shunpike - er, Lee Ingleby - is excellent. His growth as a character is the point of the show.
