Just finished the last episode of Kin there tonight , I didn't think it was that bad at all.
Good series overall I thought.

I also thought Kin was good and I really enjoyed it.
Acting by most of the kids wasn't great alright, but the main cast were very good.
Don't at all get the hate on Gillen, he always plays unlikeable fookers, so maybe that brings an inherent bias, but I thought he played the part of weak leader really well. The meeting with his brother really put what he'd been doing before into perspective.

Just watched season 3 of sex education. WTF has happened to that show. Season 1 was great, fun, fresh. Interesting concept of Otis and Maeve offering advice to their fellow pupils with their various problems, some funny some serious. The latest season has been dung. Most of the likeable characters have become pretty horrible. With the exception of Adam, his dad and the Swedish guy you would have zero empathy for the rest. The new characters seem to have been added to tick a box and then crowbarred in to an already terrible script. Please no season 4. I guess the one positive is the kids have already been in final yr of school for 3 seasons so realistically they can't drag it on for much longer

I was thinking that during the last series myself. Surely it was time to start introducing new characters if they planned to carry the series on.

Been watching Locke and Key with the kids on Netflix.
Good show.

Watching Vikings on Prime, enjoying it so far on season two, wife hates it, which makes watching it easier

First few seasons were brilliant.
It got a bit too long drawn out towards the end as a lot of these shows do.

Yeah I can imagine, will probably wean off it when it goes down that road, very like The Last Kingdom for obvious reasons, which I also enjoyed

Good show.

What age are your kids? Is it suitable for a 13 year old?

I'm watching it with a 13 and 14 year old.
I think it's rated 15, but there's no real graphic content. It is a bit "scary" I guess so depends on the 13 year old.

Agree with that, but I think it got good again in Season 5.
Well, without giving away any spoilers, there is part of the story (maybe 10-20%) which is in Iceland - and that's absolute garbage, but the rest is really good.
I'll be starting the final Season 6 shortly.
