Blue Lights episode 4 is one of the best episodes of TV I've seen in years. If it was from an American show, say The Wire or similar it would be lauded by critics. I hope the show gets the recognition it deserves.

I enjoyed Blue Lights also. Only 6 episodes though, so it was over in a flash.

Last jedi was the best of the new trilogy, it just needed to lose the whole casino section with Finn and the annoying girl
Last Jedi is ok as a standalone but ruined the storyline by killing off Snoke so easily, only heightened in the last film by making him a clone and bringing back Palpatine.

Mandalorian is good tv. Latest episode wasn't to my liking but can see why it would appeal to some. Overall though i'd be a fan.

Andor was very good.

Obi-Wan was ok, not bad but not great.

I think they've done a pretty good job overall with the TV stuff for the amount of criticism they get.

I think with the tv shows, things can get fleshed out a bit more  Multiple plots can run over the course of a few years and they can react to audience reaction a lot easier. 

I would dare say if the prequels were being made today, tv would do them more justice than the 3 3hour films they made.  (as a kid i loved revenge of the sith, and thought it was superior to the most recent 3 films, which were very disjointed imo, but lets not go down that rabbit hole). 
I tend to think of myself as a one man wolfpack...

Blue Lights is actually not a bad show.

Wasn't overly enthused by it so didn't start it until a few nights ago and enjoyed it far more than I thought I would.

I quite like it too. Have only watched the first few episodes but seems very centred on republican areas so far! Tbh it is worrying that some of the stuff in it is probably not that far from the truth.

Saw the trailer for Blue Lights and it looked crap. But boredom brought me to it during the week and I loved it.

Amazing how word never got out. Great episode.

Loving Kin S2, Francis Magee does a fantastic psychotic as Bren.

Wow indeed. Ye near need a lie down after that!

Good job because I've found the first couple of episodes very hard to follow and not a patch on the first few series

That was an awesome episode of Succession. Sets things up nicely for winding up the series.

Enjoying the second season of Perry Mason so far. Was ambivalent about the first with it's weird Christian preacher/dead child storyline, but second season is setting up nicely with the thickening plot around the murder of the useless rich son of a thuggish developer.

Whether you like the Police or not there's no denying that Blue Lights was a damn good show.

Finished it there during the week, very enjoyable. Some great characters
