Narcos was very good, probably not as good as the last two seasons though.

Was meant to watch Dexter the past few nights but other things got in the way, hoping I get a rattle at it tonight.

Dexter is back. One episode in it seems dead on.

Thought the 1st episode back was brilliant

Yea it was good alright.  The original showrunner is back, so the quality should be good the whole way through you would think.
I tend to think of myself as a one man wolfpack...

Yeah I enjoyed it too. Some great series of dexter though it dropped off a bit at the end. Hoping it goes back to the standard of the earlier series.

Succession is ripping it up this season. Loved this weeks fix. Even when it seems nothing is happening there is so much tension and agendas at play that there is actually loads going down. Great TV.

The silences between Kendall and Logan was brilliant TV.

Greg and Tom providing the light entertainment it would seem but you get impression they building up to be big players in this "I've got cancer of the career".  ;D ;D

I'm up to date with season 3 but decided the other night to start from scratch along with my wife as she hadn't watched it. It's just phenomenal stuff. The awkwardness... the fact that there is not 1 character you could remotely like but it somehow works.

The things they say at times are what you wish you could say in real life the writing and acting are first class. and

I thought episode 2 of the 3rd season last week was the best one yet.

Squid Game - derivative, boring, gore porn. Like one of the particularly bad Saw movies (Saw 4 or 5, maybe) stretched out for 8 hours. Watched the last three episodes at X1.5 speed just for the sake of completionism. Increasingly, these Netflix fads are to be avoided.

Watching the trailer it seems a lot like the 2000 Japanese movie Battle Royale

Jell 0 Biafra

Pretty much. Except not just schoolkids, and with different  uniforms.

It's watchable, but that's the height of it.

Final twist utterly ridiculous,  as seems to be the thing with Netflix originals these days.

See e.g., clickbait

Watching The Leftovers again, so good.

Watched a great documentary series on Sky Docs 'The 100 ft wave', about big wave surfers at Nazare in Portugal. Just good viewing.

They are all good, but perhaps you have already seen the best season.
If you are familiar with Belfast then you'll see a few locations of interest and the eagle eyed can spot a UVF flag and a signpost for Dublin.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

I just saw the bridge near Windsor. I mind standing at the top of Tates watching the Poles go nuts on that bridge ;D
