Have to say I'm enjoying the new Cold Feet.
Aye so am I. Didn't see it first time around.

It's pretty good, the Man united love in last night aside..

Yes gratuitous Man United supporting might see it getting the heave-ho.

Wasn't that impressed with the second half of 'The Night Of'. It felt a bit rushed and the ending was a bit shit.

Finished it last night and I agree with the above.
The first few episodes were great but it got pretty boring then really.

Just finishing up the All4 Belgian series 'The Outlaws', a very 'black' comedy about four sisters who are plotting to kill their sister's (the 5th sister) obnoxious husband.  Highly recommended for laughs.
It's good enough craic alright. They finished it up quite well when it looked initially like they might make a mess of it. "The p***k" was a very good character.
When the pr*ck's dog Oscar met his end, I found myself smiling as the camera darkly shifted to his grave post being hammered into place. Possibly that had something to do with the breed. Afterwards i thought maybe  they selected that breed deliberately so that viewers would not feel too much grief at the innocent's passing.
I've just finished nr 4,  two to go.

The Strain back for a 3rd Series. Getting a bit meh,  think they're ruining a potentially good show by obviously stretching it out so they can return year after year (tho it'll probably get the chop soon anyway).

Narcos has usurped Gomorrah as my favourite show of recent years. Just watched S2 Ep4 - f**king superb episode.

Just started watching series one of 'The Trip' on Netflix. Missed it the first time around on the BBC. Enjoyable wee programme. Slow moving, 1-2-1 dialogue (basically) between the two (askewed versions) of themselves.

There was more than 2 to go,  9 episodes in total.
It was hard to tell which were the darkest scenes where  the Pr*ck was central, as he kept trumping himself with his antics.
The snitching, the dog, the cat,  the parents, the forced entry, the forced abortion.

Hearing good things about a new show called 'Animal Kingdom'. Anyone ever hear of it? Maybe based on a film,

If it is half as good as the film it's on to a winner.

Anyone see The Commute?
Saw about 3 minutes of it while searching for the remote control. Had if taken me any longer I would have put my boot through the TV to get it turned off. This must be the greatest load of sh1te ever to be broadcast. John Logie Baird must be turning in his grave.

I love that show.  Glad to hear they're making a new series - shouldn't work, but does.
