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.

Nearly 10 years late to the party but True Detective Season 1was one of the best series I have watched in along time Harrelson and McConaughey  were outstanding in it (doubt the Louisiana tourism board would have enjoyed it as much through)

It finished brilliant. If I remember right, first 5 or 6 episodes were slow enough though. The jumping back and forward through the years added alot to it too.
Yep it was a slow burn for the first  few episodes but so worth it ,  also had one of the most unnerving/creepy antagonist's in any series/film I have seen

Flip me how have I never heard about this? One episode to go on the first season...excellent show

The first series was excellent. Definitely up there. One episode Woody Harrelson was the luckiest man on the planet lol. The rest of the series were absolute rubbish considering the stars  and budget.

Late to it, but almost finished The Last Kingdom, brilliant show, moves along at a serious pace. Just read there's a film in April that completes the series / books.
I watched it  following your recommendation and it's brilliant, at least rarely less than enjoyable.  I suppose I do take a peculiar pleasure in Danes being put to the sword in grizzly fashion.

Man, but he  was an evil, bigoted f**ker. Unbelievable the power  he had and  the   hatred he stoked up among  the unionist community against Catholics .  And the headcases  who hung on his  every word.

First season was some of the best tv there's ever been.  Two fantastic actors at the peak of their powers.  Second season I gave up on; it was just terrible.
Third season I also really liked.  Although it wasn't up to the standard of season 1, it was still really good.

I take that back. Series 3 was decent. Just the 2nd one had so much hype but was very disappointing.

1 episode down of season 2 and fell asleep!

The latest episode was shocking despite Jack Black and Christopher Lloyd featuring in it.

Revenge of the Sith was actually one of the better movies, maybe you are thinking of The Last Jedi (2017)? Now that was pure rubbish.

Last Jedi is an infinitely superior movie to Revenge of the Sith.

Revenge of the Sith is the best of the three prequels by a considerable distance but that's not really saying much.

Last jedi was the best of the new trilogy, it just needed to lose the whole casino section with Finn and the annoying girl

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

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.
