The last episode of The Virtues is as intense a bit of Telly as you're likely to see. Hard watch but superb.

Chernobyl was excellent as well.

Virtues was excellent. Grim stuff from the start interlaced with the odd bit of humour

Both really gripping shows. The scene in Chernobyl where they had to run out onto the roof for 90seconds to get rid of the lumps of graphite was mixture of suffocating / claustophic. Shooting the animals was depressing. Watching the virtues i said to the missus that's not set in Ireland. Why she says? Because pubs don't look like that in Ireland. (Last episode that big grey pub i'll bet was derbyshire/south yorkshire)
Anyway great TV. At the moment i think we are getting some of the best TV ever shows like the above, all the HBO stuff etc and some of the absolute dregs Love island Towie etc. Very polarised. Then isn't everything at the minute.

Said that myself after the last episode when he ordered a pint of stout and there was a pumping match at the bar. That's not how stout is served here!!

Haven't seen the last episode of Virtues yet will watch it tonight.

Right enough, is there any beer served like that on a pulled hand pump in Ireland ? You would see it a lot in North of England but not so much here in Birmingham.

Virtues was grim lads but well written and well acted a quality show.

Enjoyed the new Matt Berry show, the Year of the Rabbit on Channel 4. A very sweary, funny Victorian era version of the Sweeney.

Watched it in the original with subtitles. Far better experience. Dubs are for mugs.
