It was uncomfortable watching those f**king idiots taking photos at the windows. If I ever free solo a skyscraper I'd be banning everyone from the windows.

I'll make a note Tony 😆

I agree tbh tho Alex seemed cool with it. What a guy. Just watched this morn and I was still shitting meself lol

Night Manager not much better. For a BBC show, seems very amateurish and cringey.

Watched first season of fallout any thought it was ok. Is the second much the same or is it far worse?

I enjoyed the first season too. The second is just very poor - big drop in standards.

I'm not familiar with the game. But I get a sense that they've written Fallout 2 to set up 3, 4, 5 etc, rather than to do anything interesting.

I stopped after episode 3.

Steal on Amazon Prime is decent so far.

The final episode of the Night Manager nearly made up for how shite series 2 generally was.

Disagree completely. Thought it was telegraphed shite. Same twist as the first season, with the same line. Could see it coming a mile off.

The Roxana character is completely pointless. Terribly written.

Mourne Red

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms - Very enjoyable 3 episodes so far.

Agreed. Really poor show.

I've no recollection of the ending of S1, helped.

Halfway through the Pitt and have to say I'm really enjoying it. It's a cross between ER and 24 with highs and lows and plenty of gore in between.

It follows a full day in the ER so it's set up well for rattling 3-4 episodes a night.

3 or 4 episodes?! Watching e1 here at the minute and the wife is semi-comatose!

The Pitt is excellent. ER from hbo.

The real time nature of it lends outside towards being binged. S2 not the same week to week

Everyone else burns is a great comedy, dunno how I've missed that tbh, never heard tell of it until it appeared on Netflix (Channel 4 original).

Look-Up!

Definitely. Only complaint episodes too short.
