Enjoyed it.

Stuck for some night viewing now!

Yeah I liked it too.
Started watching Shogun....not sure about it yet.

Watched Polish show 'The Mire' on Netflix - pretty decent.

Now on '1983' but struggling to get into it.

Curb finished very strongly all right. Absolute genius of a show, and yeah, it will be rewatchable for years. Same as Seinfeld I guess.

Bruce Springsteen's cameos were hilarious. Tracy Ullman too for the past two seasons. But what an addition DJ Smoove was when he joined in season 6 or 7 and never moved out of Larry's house!

Tracy was great, Vince Vaughan too, someone I could never warm to before

Leon gave the show new direction, read an article where it said this and the splitting up of Larry and Cheryl helped move it in a new direction. All good 🤓

Ripley (the talented Mr variety, not Aliens)  on Netflix is excellent, very measured and classy. Onto the last of 8 episodes. Andrew Scott has got a great death stare.

BBC making two more seasons of the terrific The Night Manager. Will be interesting to see what they come up with without any Le Carre source material.

Loved every second of it. Beautifully shot.

Any early adopters for Fallout. I've read some big reviews for it. Need to finish Ripley tonight then straight into it.

Anyone watching Sugar on Apple?

Watched a couple of episodes last night, hard to know what to think of it.

It was decent, middle of the road.

I'm already losing interest 2 episodes in. It's getting a bit silly.

It's Fallout. It requires a bitof suspension of disbelief on the part of the viewer.
Watched the first one. Decent. Will watch episode 2 tonight maybe

Watched the first couple of episodes, not bad so far.

Has anyone watched any  of This Town on BBC 1?

I caught a few minutes of it  a while back. There seemed to be an  1970's Irish/Republican  link through  it.

Just wondered if it was worth  making the effort?

We were under the impression it was music based and also as a result was expecting a better soundtrack. Took us a while to realize it wasn't going that way lol. Has a music and as you say republican link. It's better than ok but not superb imo. This is probably of no help at all 🤓
