Great show! Complete surprise as well when I watched the first season but I was hooked.

I can't stand Clarkson but I do enjoy this.

Quote from: nrico2006 on June 05, 2026, 11:39:13 PMMarshals seemed like a low budget show that didn't have a real overarching story, but it grew on me by the end.

Dutton Ranch is a few levels above though. Just seems better produced, to the standard of Yellowstone, and the first few episodes have been very good.

Any link in these? Ive no real interest in Marsalls but do like the idea of Dutton ranch

Marshals has a bit of crossover whereas Dutton Ranch has very little as its set in Texas.

Marshals was absolute tripe.
Dutton Ranch is ok, not amazing.

Couple of episode into the latest series of Clarkson's farm - its still really good.
Watched season 1 of an apple series, Your Friends and Neighbors. Thought it was really good.

I think half the point of the show is the real Clarkson emerges, not the persona from Top Gear/articles

The first series of your friends and neighbours is really good. Latest episode of the new series has completely jumped the shark.
I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either

The recent episode on the tech employed by Belgian and Dutch farmers was mind blowing, full kudos to them

It is getting a bit silly but definitely worth an hour of my time. Olivia Munn always worth looking at!

Farming on a different level! A sprayer drone full of slurry would provide some entertainment over here. Especially around certain festivities in July  ;D

I am quite enjoying Ponies on Sky.  Cold war spy jab set in Moscow.  Amelia Clarke stars.  I had to check if she actually speaks Russian as she has some amount of dialogue in that language.  The answer is no, she doesnt, and just learned those lines.  Which is also remarkable.

Decent wee show but Jesus her eyebrows have a life of their own lolol.
Set up nicely for a second series or else the worst ending ever for a standalone series 😄

That cow and cheese artificial island in Rotterdam is an absolute game changer.

Not a sentence I ever thought I would say.

After 30 Rock recently I moved on to 2 and a half men for the easy watching 20 odd min laughs - such a funny, funny show. Definitely a pre-woke era vibe, so gloriously un-pc. 12 series of it, started at S5 or 6 this time. Work's well with both Charlie Sheen & Ashton Kutcher.

Recommended in movie thread as I watched Le Carre based films recently.

t**ker Tailor Soldier Spy 1979 BBC series[its on iPlayer]

One of best things Ive ever seen. The tension, subtlety and the sheer quality of performances. Incredible.

Dont get actors like this now, the unique faces near perfect casting.

Smileys People is followup though not as great as first, its also worth viewing.

As I said on the other thread, Alec Guinness played Smilie so well that Le Carre wrote him differently afterwards. He changed how the writer viewed his own creation.

House of the Dragon is off to a decent season 3 start.  A YouTube recap is a must though, otherwise you will wonder who the feck some of the characters are.
