Yeah, I've Proton VPN free version with limited countries but serves my purpose.

Pat Spillane and Andrew McCarthy  on Tommy Tiernan.

Decent interviews from both.

Haven't seen McCarthy  in so many years. Always enjoyed his films.

Rattled through The Leftovers over the past month. Ignored it until now due to its Lost connections.

Lost and me have a bad history; I adored it up until the final series when it became glaringly more obvious each week that it was never going to answer anything. And I didn't need everything answered. Just anything at all.

The Leftovers was good, and at times sublime. Wonderfully thought provoking. Completely batshit crazy in places. But I guess as I didn't start it with the premise that things would be explained, the process never bothered me like Lost did. Now I'm finding myself days on wondering about things. Not story arcs or conclusions or such like. Just things that the series explored.

Mark of a good show.

But it won't be for everyone.

Thought season 1 was decent, season 2 wasn't great. Am in 2 minds about starting season 3.

Would agree with you on seasons 1 and 2.

Dirty Business is on Channel 4 player now. Drama based on the water and raw sewage scandals.

It is excellent, but it would enrage you.
