TV Show recommendations

The HBO show, Succession, is quite a good show. Slow start but gets quite good. Based on Rupert Murdoch and his family supposedly.

4 episodes in now.  It's OK.  I hate all the characters.  Probably the way it's supposed to be.

Culkin has to be the biggest dick, so annoying.

Such a hateful character. He plays the role of the w**ker to perfection.

Finished Succession and it grew into superb compelling viewing, darkly funny and disturbing in parts. Beautifully fucked up characters, glorious!

Great show. Shiv's husband Tom was some craic

Anyone attempt Disenchantment- the new Matt Groening animated show? Watched the first two episodes and it's fair to say they were 'meh'. Got a serious push by Netflix- every billboard in Ireland carrying an advert for this one!

Is it suitable for the kids to watch?

It's an adult comedy!

No and I found out the hard way as my 7 year old used his Mother's Netflix account..

good to know! my 9 year old was asking about it the other day.

Definitely for adults that one!

I'm sure it's been mentioned before but the Vietnam documentary by Ken Burns is really stunning.  It might take quite a while to get through it but it is certainly worth the effort.  I particularly enjoy the interviewed accounts by the combatants from both sides.  Warts and all accounts of the horrifying aspects of war.

Is this on netflix?

Watching All or Nothing now and even though I have no love for City it's hard not to like Sergio Aguero. Plays the game with a smile on his face and seems a decent sort off the field too.

I laughed when I read some other forums feeling sorry for Aguero because he was lonely in Manchester! For £300K a week i'd happily live by myself! I'd say you'd soon get tired listening to Pep, he goes on a bit. City have a serious setup, the facilities are unbelievable.

That money doesn't help you much when your entire family is a continent away and you only see your son every four weeks.

I know a few people who work for a hell of a lot less and don't see their kids much, either long hours and kids are sleeping or they wirk overseas, it's a short term problem, once he retired he'll spend more time with them. Quality time on the yacht or 6 star hotels!

Last 2 epsiodes of Better Call Saul been fantastic - they are really ramping it up now

[Main Street]

The first 3 episodes of Better Call Saul have been excellent.

[Harold Disgracey]

Can't remember who recommended it but The Bureau is fantastic, seven episodes in and I'm absolutely gripped.
