Anyone following Kin and looking to get ahead of the RTE curve this week's episode is now on my IPTV service so presumably wherever yis all get ur content from too..

Corny as f**k and full of holes but sure I'll see it out now  :)

Aye, I have been getting the episode on a Thursday night most weeks.  As for holes, I couldn't get how the wee assassin boy just walked outside a building full of teenagers last week and was abe to immediately know who Michaels daughter was.

It airs on American Streaming service AMC on a Thursday which is why it's available a few days before RTE.

It's no Love/Hate but it's decent drama and an enjoyable enough watch. Looking forward to its conclusion.

Yeah figured it must be something like that.. I only copped it last week on my box. Two more episodes left

'Kin' warming up rightly. Still short of 'Love/Hate' standard at the minute.

Just finished the Bobby Robson, more than a manager, was on prime. What a great fella he was

Good to see Succession back.

Great show. Such a collection of unlikeable characters that leave you enthralled. Greg is a great comic character among it all. Is he really such a fool you start asking yourself?

Kin also was a good episode on Sunday.

You can look at who voted for what from the link at the top of the post.
Ulster League Champions 2009

screenexile

I've watched 53 and probably got at least a half a season through another 10 or so.

Was about to say the list is a bag of shit without Sopranos/West Wing but it's only for the 21st Century. Definitely a few in there that I should try and get to!

BennyCake

Finished 6 of those. Started another couple but gave up.

I don't know how people can watch so much tv these days. It would be a full time job keeping up with them all

Estimator

Watched 20 with another 9/10 to finish off.
Surprised the likes of Ozark + Modern Family didn't make the list.
Ulster League Champions 2009

J70

There's a few in there that were top notch before falling away.

House of Cards for example. True Detective too.

Top ten for me out of that list (not in order):

Deadwood
Breaking Bad
Better Call Saul
Mad Men
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Chernobyl
Fargo (Season 2 is one of the best seasons of tv I've ever seen)
Arrested Development
Narcos and Narcos Mexico
Westworld

TV experts from 43 countries

And it is almost all US and UK shows.

JimStynes

A lot of shite shows on that list. I take it that's not in order? As band of brothers is way down the list and it is possibly the best pieces of TV ever made. One of favourites on there is The Shield. Loved that show and even better that was loosely based on a true story. I can't see my favourite show of all time on it either, Gomorrah

JoG2

Have watched about a dozen or so on that list and started a few others. Must make a list from the rest for the Winter. Some great TV being made these days

From the Bunker

One of the worst waste of time series ''Lost'' at 19.

Christ that was Rubbish!

The punchline that everyone was dead was guessed early on, the script-writers denied this and had no plan B.

Proceeded to add loads of red-herring sub plot stories to disguise this.
