I think that doll from Newry is going to grate on me too - she seems to think she's something else. I actually used the word "dose" earlier!

If you see her coming in for an interview you'd be putting a big x through the page!

Think she'll do well enough, but they eventually lose control of themselves and get caught

Within the first 30 secs I thought exactly the same. She's full of herself anyway, but then I suppose those are the characters that make for good tv. The Panto villain.
I've only started with Traitors this past year, but already it seems like they've "borrowed" from the irish show with the Graves and the Parent/Child twist.

Milltown Row2

They've had it before on the uk versions
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Finished Welcome to Derry on Sky Atlantic (a Pennywise / IT origin story), pretty good show, touch of the stranger things about it with way more gore.

Stranger Things final season was pretty poor.

Welcome to Derry was ok, heard bad reports about it before it started so I went in with low expectations.

The final episode of stranger things was actually ok it was the rest of season 5 that was really dire. I found it a struggle to finish most of the episodes as they were so boring.

Really enjoyed it. Definitely a stranger things vibe going on. But acting was good and a nice ending to it.

Enjoying the season 5 of Stranger things(no spoilers please)
Set myself up with a soundbar and surround sound system for Christmas and it really makes a difference and sounds great for Stranger Things , wish I bought one sooner.

The new series of the Night Manager, despite the lack of Le Carré source material, pretty good so far.

Looking forward to this.  Hopefully get to it this week.

Started watching the Mr Mercedes series.  I wasnt long into it when I realised that I have read a slight spinoff book of King's called The Outsider, but there isnt much overlap really.

The series is sick and gruesome at times.  Worth a watch though.  I've series one done, and I see there are 2 more out.

Brendan Gleeson decent, if not stretched in the role I'd say.

Landman has fallen off a cliff this season, feels like the second season of 1923 were you watch an episode and wonder what the actual point was, but the characters are interesting/easy enough on the eye to keep you watching.

It's based on the book Mr Mercedes by King, there is 3 I think in the series. you must have come late to that.

Show isn't a patch on the book though.

Look-Up!

I find all the Taylor Sheridan stuff wears thin very quickly. One season would be enough for all of them but he rides the gravy train for all it's worth.

He's a prat! Bought a Texas ranch and decided to write it into his show FFS.

I gave up on Yellowstone halfway through season 2 as I thought it was terrible. Pick up tidbits here and there of what unfolded afterwards on YouTube and whatnot and it sounds like it only got more preposterous.

Watched Red Eye on ITV. Load of crap storyline but an enjoyable enough watch overall.
