Parks and Recreation good too after a slow first season. Only watching the American Office now too and it is very good. Finished Spy with Sasha Baren Cohen and it was excellent.

Been on a Parks & Rec binge since the weekend. . . it's very funny with some great comic actors in it Ansari/Pratt/Poehler/Jones/Plaza/Offerman are serious operators it's very funny it surprised me to be honest.

I've really enjoyed it and it's short too which helps.

Marvellous Mrs Maisel. Wife safe etc. It is hard to explain but is very funny. (On amazon)

Fantastic show. 3rd season not up to the standard of the first two but very funny altogether and Brosnahan is absolutely brilliant in it.

I find Alex Borstein (Suzy) hilarious in it too. Great character.

Late to the party - but Ted Lasso is great.

Think they picked up Actress and Supporting Actress Emmy's two years running. Very good together.

Started watching Your Honour, it is so intense it is unreal, one episode per night is enough. Real top quality show, very hard watch at times and I've only watched 2 episodes.

Rich Ricci

Ben Fogle had a documentary on Channel 5 on Wednesday night where he spent a week inside Chernobyl. Fascinating and harrowing at the same time. Showed the city as it was left, met residents who returned to their homes illegally and also adrenaline junkies who sought the danger of spending a night inside the exclusion zone.

Well worth a watch if you're into that sort of thing.

I've started episode 2 and was half watching. Got totally lost and had to go back to the start. Needs full attention but a great show so far. A rough enough opening 15 mins or so.
