TV Show recommendations

Raised by Wolves on Sky is pretty good Sci Fi drama.

That last episode though 

The Expanse - the best Sci-Fi out there. The Wire of it's genre.

New series released on Amazon there before Christmas, not as good as previous (so far). Was reading Amazon are funding 1 more series and that's it.

Jesus I thought the latest episode of the The Expanse(S5E3) was brilliant.

Anyone with an hour to spare watch Joel's Holland's 'Best Bits' from NYE. Some brilliant performances on it.

Jesus lads I fell down a Taskmaster rabbit hole over Christmas... it's very very funny some real belly laughs in it I'm on series 5 now with another 60 episodes to go... I've got a week will see how I get on but would highly recommend for some light entertainment!!

Aye, a big fan of the middle and early series. My favorite was the Bob Mortimer series. It has sort of peaked and is now fumbling for new ideas.

Mortimer series was brilliant the one after not great. This one Season 7 with Rhod Gilbert and Acaster has been very good so far.

Yes, it was the one I was trying to remember - it was class.

I finally brushed the dust off Strumpet City  and watched the whole lot almost in one go. I hadn't watched it since it was first on RTE all those years ago when Ireland was still as depressed as it was in 1913. It has to be the outstanding RTE drama of all time. One faulty memory I had was at the end when young Fitz,  frozen out because of his support for the lockout, left Dublin by boat for England. I had the image of him in civvies  looking forlornly over the bay while James Joyce's  (Only you) Nora, played on the soundtrack.  I would have sworn on the bible that was how it ended.

One bit I had missed or forgotten was when the priest (the pompous gobshite) insisted on giving the last rites to Rashers Tierney, he whispered a plea for forgiveness.

Fear city: NY v the Mafia is a decent short documentary series on Netflix for any mob/Sapranos fans. The story of how the FBI finally able to bring down h tour mob in NY. Staggering the control these guys had and money they were raking in.

Bread is fantastic. Set in Liverpool, Lilo Lil is fantastic.

It's no 'The Brothers McGregor'.

Yeah took into it myself over the weekend. A fair bit of dramatic licence but still a great show so far.

Avoid Black Narcissus on BBC. Pure tripe.

Watched Prisoners over the holidays on the recommendation of some on here - good show

Been watching Cornwall: This Fishing Life on BBC On Demand. Filmed in 2018, the pre-Brexit chat is illuminating, but mainly it's just been a fantastic easy watch.
