TV Show recommendations

Went back and binged Fargo S5, glad I did, thought it was excellent, a return to form for John Hamm who's been phoning it in a bit lately imo.

I see the spoilers are back.

Unsure if I would deem it a recommendation but possibly falls into the WTF category.

Came across Dubai Hustle on BBC3 the other night, full of egos, a@@holes and a lot of botox / fillers.

Saying that Dubai looks like a deadly spot so hopefully will get there someday.

Is there any particular reason why there's no live audience any longer on the Tommy Tiernan show?

Pitch invasion on BBC iplayer about the Irish and Scottish footballers over the years was great. A reminder of when football was magic and full of personalities not like the dung on offer now. Also rather depressing reminder just how much Irish football has suffered since the influx of players from all over the world into the premier league.

I'd say they felt that people would be more honest in front of just Tommy than with a baying crowd of 50 strangers. Speaking in front of an audience does provoke a load of cliche ridden nonsense.

Watch BBC over next few years spin the NI/Scots connection....

Watched the first few episodes of the 6 nations documentary on netflix. It's pretty good so far. The timeline is all over the place but still enjoyable.

Many thanks for the Slow Horses tip. Absolutely brilliant show. Sometimes serious and sometimes hilarious. Can't wait for more.

Traitors not great last night. Was waiting for Ross to pull down the whole thing but it never materialised. Don't care who wins at this stage as long as its not Harry or even Zack for that matter

I'll say again. Fcuk off with your spoilers elsewhere.

Anyone watching Dopesick, based on the dodgy dealings of an American pharmaceutical company and drug addiction, watched 4 episodes, a good watch

It's exceptional TV and is a shining beacon to warn us that if there's one country we should never try to emulate, it's the US of A.

Watched on Disney Plus. Up there with some of the best tv I ever saw.

About the Tommy T show this evening, you would not have missed the audience but from the past shows the fact that there was an audience added an intensity to the interview. Somehow It works both ways.
There was an absolutely stunning end of show musical performance from Rachael Lavelle.
