The Underground Railroad on prime is superb! Only up to episode 4 but some great performances and some brutal scenes to sit through.
You're hardly watching it on Prime.

Why do you say this? It has been on Prime for the last few days, or at least my version of Prime.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Really liked Homeland, was recommended The Americans on the back of that - agree?

The Spy with Sacha Baron Cohen from the espionage genre is pretty good too.

I am surely. No need for a dodgy box anymore.

Rewatched it a year ago so will leave it a while but a great show. Loved the actual soldiers coming on recounting their experiences

Milltown Row2

Episode 5 of Mare of Easttown!!
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Fantastic. The attack on Foy is one of the greatest scenes in TV history. Pacific is also good, though not as good as BoB.

I've watched it about 100 times and it gets better and better. I love the interviews with the soldiers at the start of each episode. Major Winters was some man!! Can't we count it as a proper series? If so then it's up there as my favourite ever.

This is a brilliant YouTube channel for interviews with World War 2 soldiers.

Just finished the final series of The Americans and would have to say it's the best series I have watched in a long long time. it can be a bit of a slow burn at times but the acting , storylines and the 80's soundtrack were a fantastic combination.

And the quality was remarkably consistent throughout the 6 series.
I have just started watching The Mosquito Coast, an imaginative take on the book,  it's early days  yet but it looks very good. Some similarities with the Americans, as in the children.

Perfect finale to Mare of Easttown. It'll clean up in the female anything categories at the Emmys and deservedly so.

It's just brilliant TV. Up there with the best of them.
