TV Show recommendations

[Main Street]

Why are people hating on the LOD finale? I think people build these shows up in their own heads too much and are always destined for disappointment. Same with Game of Thrones. I for one enjoyed it.

I don't know about GOT as I stopped watching it after they killed Sean Bean, that was akin to subbing Messi after 15 minutes, but the LOD finale was perfectly executed, it could not have been bettered. In saying that, I was not not  invested in that overhyped Brit police drama but more curious to see how they would wrap it up.
There is no one bad apple evil dude behind it all.

At present I'm well into Mare of Easttown,  a cross between a darker side of Fargo and the US version of The Killing. Kate Winslett on her own is the price of admission.

It's grim but totally agree with you it's got an interesting story and the acting is first class. Jean Smart as the Grandmother is brilliant as well definitely worth watching!

Sad but after an accident or tragedy they say, its in the blood!! Very hard to sympathise in such a mad sport were you are taking your life in your hands

Very easy to sympathize. Impossible to understand. Some people in that game age just wired differently.

Queen of the South is a really good show on Netflix

Well into the first series of this, I think it's very good, moves very quickly. Thumbs up for the recommendation

That about covers it. It might as well be heroin for these fellas - they know it ultimately could take their life but they are compelled by it as the highs are worth it. You'd need the heart of a stone not to be moved by that race by Michael the day before his dad's funeral.

Shtisel a soap type drama offers an interesting insight into the goings on in an ultra Charedi jew community in Israel. Though I find the viewing heavy going,  sometimes I can just take half an episode a day.

Here in Spain, all 7 episodes of Mare of Easttown available on HBO. Might PM Main Street the spoilers.

Well, after all the story is populated with  Sheehans and Fahy, even a  McMenamin from the caves of Tyrone,  we're looking at the dysfunctional self destructive outcomes of generations of intermarraige between  Irish immigrants. Add in the slimy feckin priests into the mix and you get Mare of Easttown.

Anybody got a link to Viewpoint Episode 5? See lots of bogus links on youtube

Decent show, the cancel culture w**k removing the series was just great, we had the first 4 episodes recorded rather than downloaded, so watched them and left hanging now
