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

It's no 'The Brothers McGregor'.

I know it's been out quite a while but have only started watching "The Americans " on Prime , halfway through the first series and am really enjoying it

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.

Ghosts on RTÉ later.

Good comedy.

Finished Timeless the other night, easy watch time travelling series.
Bit of a history lesson but just 2 seasons so no prolonged story

24 hr in Police Custody last night - it is rare to see such a cunning, manipulative, ruthless woman

Started watching "Billions" on Amazon
Brilliant show and according to real fund managers on Wall Street it's reasonably accurate.
Great acting and writing.

Watched The Serpent on BBC iPlayer. Good show. Enjoyed it. Based on a true story of Charles Sobhraj a serial killer on the hippie trail in Asia.

Very enjoyable (if that's the right word?).

I read the book years ago, it was a horrid tale and I'm not at all tempted to watch the tv drama. I think the tv drama just stops after he got caught. I read that he earned millions after he did some jail time and returned to France, a celebratory of sorts. But as it turned out he finally got his second comeuppance, deserved justice served chilled.
