Main Street

On a whim I downloaded the 3 series of Cracker, I haven't watched it since the mid 90s, it feels like a new viewing experience. Fitz has to be one of thee unique drams character composites ever created and pretty much only Robbie Coltrane could carry it off with aplomb.

Limmy can be very hit & miss bit the Millport  skit is a classic

Drive to survive is very well put together just so enjoyable especially for non F1 fans I'd say it's made a huge difference to it's popularity the last few years.

Our House starring Martin Compston - the storyline was far fetched, bordering on the ridiculous really.

*Spoiler...ish* BILLIONS



New series of Billions. I expected to drop this with a certain character now gone but I think it has continued to be just as good. Pleasantly surprised.

very much so.

Sat through it and wondered why at the end!

J70

The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey.

Samuel L Jackson series about a very old man with dimentia who is given an experimental treatment to temporarily restore ALL of his life's memories. Only three episodes in, but its enjoyable so far (although in fairness an actor as riveting to watch as Jackson can elevate just about anything).

Wecrashed on Apple, about the rise and fall of wework and its founders is excellent.

Cheers! Forgot this was coming out. I'm hoping the presence of Anne Hathaway counters the presence of Jared Leto. I see it has had good reviews.

Brutal. 4 episodes, haddy see it through

Yes it's a series. First 3 episodes are out and then one every Friday. You can watch the first one for free without signing up to a free trial if you haven't used it up yet. Quality of it on my IPTV isn't great.

Leto is mesmerising in it in fairness to him.

Watched the first 2 episodes of Reacher last night and quite enjoyed them.

It's no masterpiece and it's averagely acted but it's funny and entertaining in parts, I'm looking forward to finishing it. One of the few things I watch that my wife is enjoying too!

And why is she enjoying it?  ;)
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

I looked on IMDB to see what Reacher had done himself previously. His biggest role seemed to be playing Raphael in one the latest teenage mutant ninja turtle films  ;D

Reacher seems pretty good though. Five episodes in and enjoying it.
