The Big Bang Theory finished last night with a great finale. I know its not everyone's cup of tea but it has been consistently one of the best comedies of the last decade for me.

Has it?? Really?

It was a decent concept at the start but then became a constant stream of cheese and rehashed jokes like HIMYM and Friends before it. It was fine for 2/3 series but it hasn't had it for a long time now!!

Finished season 3 of Gomorrah last night, easily one of the best things I've watched, even with the subtitles it's really gripping. I remember watching the first season and thinking how raw it was, after looking into it there was a good reason, bar 4-5 main characters a lot of the parts were played by actual young lads who were caught up in that world in Naples and it really shone through, great show I'd highly recommend it and looking forward to the next season

Enjoying Chernobyl on Sky Atlantic, although the "ey oop, lad" accents of some of the characters takes a bit of getting used to.

Who needs fictional TV shows when you have this on. It's dark, intense and captivating.

The only annoyance I have is the range of accents in it. Should have made it authentic and used Russian actors with subs

Couldn't agree more. Accents, while not ruining it, make it hard to take seriously. Why didn't they just make a fictional show about Sellafield?

It's been widely praised for it's approach and not adopting corny Russian accents funnily enough. I think it works well here, have seen it being awful elsewhere tho, most notably in Alexander (The Great) that was just awful.

Suburra on Netflix - a Crime drama / Mafiosa type thing based in Rome is pretty good, just finished S1.

Gomorrah S4 returns in June to Sky as well.

life in pieces on amazon. It's hilarious.

Good first episode of Killing Eve S2. Don't think the show is as great as made out but it's entertaining.

Newbridge Exile · June 05, 2019, 09:55:48 PM

three episodes in and Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime pretty decent viewing

Chernobyl was pretty much a masterpiece of storytelling what a great series and it's done and dusted so can't be ruined which is great!!

Black Mirror is still excellent watched all 3 today and have to say the Smithereens episode is my favourite. I'm a big fan of Andrew Scott and he puts in a great performance.

Striking Vipers is a close second and is probably a real classic episode along the lines of San Junipero etc with VR and relationships getting mixed up it's one that could happen soon!

The Miley Cyrus episode was a bit shit really wasn't a fan!

No need, it had its own meltdown and fire that was largely covered up in 1957. UK government just changed its name from Windscale to Sellafield, built some more storage ponds and threw the remains of the nuclear material into them and set up the nuclear dustbin for the world. The ponds are now breaking down and possibly leaking, so they are being emptied in a very slow and dangerous process. The waste water flows into the Irish Sean and the tide carries it away from Britain.
