Newbridge Exile

Just watched Tehran on Apple TV  over the  weekend, its was entertaining with plenty of twists and was a change from the norm for an espionage  thriller with Mossad and the Iranian Revolutionary guard being the  protagonists.

Just watched "Time" episode 1 on BBC. It has the makings of the best drama series of the year. Sean Bean is excellent and Stephen Graham is even better. It is grim but keeps you engaged with the back stories.
Have it taped on the basis that if it has both those actors it is already off to a good start. With those 2 acting and Jimmy McGovern behind it, I'd guess at it being "gritty".

Just finished it ... happy happy Funtime!!

Very raw brilliant piece of work and the 2 lads put in a shift... worth a watch!

Milltown Row2

Watching Motherland, easy exaggerated watch of life of trying to kids to school and looked after
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Finished Mare Of Easttown.

Good show with a few plot twists.

Mare's mother steals almost every scene she is in

It's widely regarded as one of the greatest shows off all time.

I would agree with that statement. I personally believe Prison break is overrated as it has an extremely steep decline after its 1st season(which is excellent) which can't be compared to any other show. Season 3 was particularly dry.

Watched the first one last night and thought it was very good. Tough watching at times.

Continues like that.  Such a sad and hard hitting tale. Some great characters and very well acted.

Started watching Sweet Tooth on Netflix with the kids at the weekend. Only a couple of episodes in but it's interesting. Some bits not for small kids. Set on a book about a world changing virus off all things.

I was surprised how good this show is, hadn't heard much talk about it apart from on here. Sean Bean was excellent as well.

Watched the first 4 episodes of the Crystal Palace documentary on prime, good so far, good insight and class how their fans helped get the ground sold to the owners for a decent price. Ian Holloway is some laugh, good watch id recommend it
