Thought the same with Vinyl and the hoors cancelled it.

Gorging on old Curb your Enthusiasms in preparation for the new series. Gloriously funny show.

Haven't seen anyone mention it on here yet but watched the first few episodes of The Sinner tonight and it is very good so far.

Mr Mercedes starting tonight on RTE1. Anyone watch and recommend?

I'm 6 episodes in.. it's good.. I'd recommend it.. it's slow paced but I like it, id reccomend you don't watch it with your mother ( you'll see why if you watch it) the main actor in it other than brendan Gleson is a creepy look alike of Stephen Cluxton ..

You flatter Cluxton, this psycho  in Mr Mercedes has way more personality :)

Gleeson disappoints in parts with the staged aspects of the angry grumpy jackeen character who's on a permanent hangover. Even the grumpiest most downtrodden drunken dub has a bit of humour,  let's say he's no Rashers Tierney.

Overall it's good and comes in currently in second place to The Deuce on my viewing list.

Captain Scarlet

Very promising opening from the new Star Trek on Netflix. Not a Treky per say here but enjoy a bit of sci fi and the effects and story are well done. No messing aroubd and you get straight into it with tge odd bit of flashback.
them mysterons are always killing me but im grand after a few days.sickenin aul dose all the same.

Just finished Narcos season 3. Some show! Much better than the first 2 seasons.

False Flag on Fox is pretty good.  Israeli espionage show, subtitled.

BBC Earth have released a trailer for Blue Planet II. If it's half as good as Planet Earth II it'll still be exceptional.

Captain Obvious

Yes Gleeson could have added a bit of Sergeant Gerry Boyle humour into his role.

Have caught up on The Deuce. Excellent stuff so far. Am curious how many other ex Wire cast members can show up.

Just after finishing The Sopranos. Brilliant TV. Would have Breaking Bad slightly ahead all the same. I know this has probably being done to death but that ending. WTF. Nobody could be happy with that.

No? I thought it was a perfect ending to the best tv show ever created.

Just the fact that there are at least three possibilities of what might have happened.
