I know i'm well behind the times but flying through House of Cards at the minute.  Half way through season 3. quality show.  Hard to believe yer woman is in her 50's!

More hard to believe for me was that she was Jenny in Forest Gump.

Anyone watching Riviera?

The first two episodes were decent, Ill stick with it.

Moving along nicely it should be a good show. I'm 4 in.

I don't know why but I keep watching "The Ranch" on Netflix. It's horrible don't ever watch it but I can't seem to stop myself. Canned laughter is the absolute worst. . . as long as swearing for the sake of it!!
Not much to boast about, Screen  ;)

Anyone watching american gods?

Can't get into the hand maids tale at all ... just finished house of cards - excellent show

I watched American Gods. Thought it was very good, but by fcuk is it weird. Watched 1 episode of the hand maids tail, not sure if i will go back for more.
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

Go back and watch the first series, it's in a similar style to Blue Velvet (by the same director) and was a thing back in the day.
Personally I don't care much for David Lynch fantasy horror but i can take  Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks s1.

Really enjoyed it myself, ive found it going kinda down the breaking bad plot of what seems a soft character who as time goes on shows himself to be more ruthless etc, great watching Jimmy becoming Saul, hope theres another season

Really enjoyed Riviera even though I'm not a fan of Julia Stiles. 8.5-9/10

I'm 3/4 ways through watching 'Broken', a tv drama about a catholic priest (Father Sean Bean) and his parish, somewhere north of Birmingham in England. The screenplay is  written by Jimmy McGovern.
It's heavy stuff indeed, laid on thick, layer upon layer in typical McGovern style but objectively respectful towards the Catholic faith while outing obvious contradictions.
It's England that's broken and this is a wonderful drama experience both for catholics and non-catholics alike.
