I'm now a dedicated Our Boys buff since the Israeli prime minister denounced it from his pulpit.

What these rigteous morons don't get is that a denouncement is a priceless plug. If that prck doesn't like it,  it must be good.

Peaky Blinders still going for style over substance. Wouldn't be much left if they cut out all the slow motion walking scenes.

Thought that myself. You have one of the best actors in the business as the main man yet you spend most of the time having him walk around in slow motion to some gothy music. . . what a waste!!
I've thought this from the beginning and I don't think Murphy (if that's who you mean) is anywhere near the best in the business. If anything, hi co-stars show him up as being second rate. The guy who plays Arthur along with Hardy have performed much better in my opinion.

Tom Hardy was superb as Alfie Solomans. I found him the most intimidating character in the show. Him and Helen McCrory as Polly are miles better than the rest.

Been catching up with Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing.

Very funny. Getting better and better. Great half hours viewing.

Good episode of Peaky Blinders last night I thought. . . not sure what you lads are on about Cillian Murphy was excellent and the lad who plays Arthur over acts something shocking. Young Gleeson's Scottish accent is horrific the only one who could do it worse would be Gillen!!!

Anyone watched Temple yet? Heard good reviews and quite enjoyed the first episode.

Ballers is getting annoying now.

Has anyone watched State of the Union?? It looks to be getting good reviews think it's next up on the list. . . also Brassic??

Brassic is easy viewing - good to pass a couple of hours and M Keegan looks the part

I didn't think Gleesons accent was that bad, added to me hating the character actually. 

This is ballers last season, still enjoy it though.

Loudest Voice is very good... probably over dramatised but seriously interesting and the acting is great. Crowe's exceptional but then he could always play the alpha males nearly better than anyone!

Started watching Power on Netflix last night and have worked my way through two episodes.

Please tell me it gets better.

Give up after 3-4 episodes. Though the acting was brutal.

Don't think I've seen it mentioned much on here, but I've recently watched the two seasons of Ozark and thought it was very good.

The first episode you can't help but wonder is this just a re-hash of Breaking Bad, but while there are some similarities, it's its own show and ends up very different (and how many Cops or US Presidents series has there been!)

I am a fan of Jason Bateman which helps, but I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a Netflix show to watch

Power is fantastic. Latest episode especially was superb.

Unbelievable on Netflix is brilliant

Just finished watching season 1.
Shite.
I wont be watching any more. Acting is awful and story isn't much better.
