Masters of the Air is outstanding and you're all dopes.

It's very good but suffers from always being compared to Band of Brothers. And as the lads have said, BOB is the greatest show ever made. One of the best things about BOB for me was the interviews with the real life characters at the start of each episode. 'Grandpa, were you a hero in the war.....' 😢😢

Band of brothers , I thought was very overrated. First couple episodes very good , after that  it was  all a bit meh. Although war films aren't really my normal  viewing.

Should have said in my opinion. I'd near put Gomorrah next. Then the likes of The Wire and Sopranos up there too. With BOB I just think it has amazing battle scenes, the actors, the storylines and the fact that the actual men who fought are part of it. It's sheer brilliance.

Band of Brothers was good but definitely overrated. Masters of the Air has been very enjoyable so far.

Jeepers Creepers

The Sapranos. End of. Anyone who disagrees should be sin binned from Gaaboard for bad behaviour.

If we are excluding BOB as it's a mini series then I have to say Gomorrah is my favourite!

Apple's new series The Dynasty on Brady, Belichek and the Patriots. Two episodes so far in the US, but looks really good.

Last Dance kind of thing.

Finished it last night and to be honest I gave up on it several episodes ago but the wife continued watching it.

What is good out there at the minute?

Tulsa King is the show I've enjoyed the most in recent months.

Milltown Row2

Watched the second episode of Breathtaking on ITV, taken from the view of those inside the A&E at the start of the  pandemic.

You are hyperventilating most of the way through it, it must have felt like a war zone at the time
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Stuck with it. About 4/10 i'd say. Seems to be lack of good shows at the moment. Watched one with Stephen graham recently (normally in decent stuff), was poor enough as well. Bodies i think it was called. Don't bother.
