Watched the first 2 episodes of It's a Sin... Russell T Davies has made some brilliant TV shows in his time and this is another clinker so far!
Absolutely superb, 2nd maybe only to Chernobyl in recent greatness.

Wasn't sure after the first episode or 2 but it got better and better. Quite sad at times and about a topic I know very little about. Some very good acting performances as well.

Just finished it... phenomenal TV.

Also agree on Wandavision it's tripe something proper would need to happen in the next episode!!

Been watching Cornwall: This Fishing Life on BBC On Demand. Filmed in 2018, the pre-Brexit chat is illuminating, but mainly it's just been a fantastic easy watch.

100% agree it is a really enjoyable watch, the issues aside from actual fishing it covers such as the effect of holiday home ownership on property prices for the locals are interesting as well.

WandaVision definitely changed things up a bit in today's episode.

Lupin... Great show.

Just finished watching Marcella... it's pretty decent shot in the North as well. Why do Northern actors have such a tendency to overact though??

Anyway it's very dark and worth a watch if you enjoyed the first 2 seasons.

Thought that Marcella show was one of the most bizarre shows I ever watched. So much so that it wasn't enjoyable at all. Wife watched the first two series and agreed

We watched that last series of Marcella too and it was enjoyable enough. I found the delusions and flashbacks a bit shite, but the wife said the first series was even worse for that stuff.

Lupin... Great show.

Good show if a bit silly at times.

Netfilix are bringing a documentary out soon called The Rise of Andy Malone. Meant to be a cracker. It's about a world famous microwave meal producer.

'Tiger' 2 part documentary on sky I think, excellent insight into his personal life and in particular, his relationship with his father and how that drove everything else in his life.

Succession was great. Not everyone's type of show but it's getting better and better.
