Yeah Reacher was pure dung. I still watched it though. I see the Neagley spin off on Prime - will probably watch it.
Furious was fantastic viewing.
New season of Ted Lasso has been disappointing so far. Starting to think they should have left it alone.
Lioness has had a good season.
Gentlemen season 2 was really good after a slow start. Huge nod to the Godfather movies.
Looking forward to new season of Slow Horses.

Reacher was brilliant, best since season 1.

It's pure mindless violence, ludicrous and completely implausible at times, but excellent fun.

War machine on Netflix is basically Reacher vs Aliens :D

More than a nod to the Godfather movies...basically used them as a template!!!  Was great though,  very enjoyable.

Will start into new Slow Horses tonight...Jackson Lamb is one of the finest characters ever created!

Yeah the last Reacher season was just pure daft on every level. Was lazy.

Will definitely watch Neagley. Hope it is more like S1 of Reacher.

The Gentlemen Season 2 was pretty good. Guy Ritchie knows his lane. The final scene from S2 was nuts. It'll be hard to beat the chicken scene from S1E1. Proper funny as f**k.

First episode of Slow Horses wasn't great. Hopefully not running out of steam.

Yeah was expecting something big to happen but it never really did... hopefully they're just teasing us.

The eulogy was absolutely hilarious one of the funniest moments in all the series I was bent over laughing!

In my defence, I did say "huge nod"  ;D

I watched Slow Horses - not a great first episode. And to be honest, I thought the last season was just ok. Doesn't take away from Lamb's character though.

Disagree on Slow Horses,  I think it really sets the scene. Looking forward to how it builds out.

Watched first one in Mobland last night,  hard to listen to the paddywjackery accents

Season 2 of The Gentlemen was very enjoyable yet again. It is fast paced and frenetic with a good sense of humour and strong characters.

Presumed innocent vibe but I liked it better

Just finished it myself. Same vibe as Presumed Innocent but Dedending Jacob was even better. Brilliant show.

Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story on Netflix.

Some spoilers here, but what is the craic with this show? Have they made a "real life" Monster show, and then just made it all up? It appears so. 

I was eager to google so much but left it until I completed the series (which was too long by about half). No idea why they included the modern scenes too which are again a complete fabrication.

Not often I ignore those big Netflix releases, but didn't watch the Ed Gein one or Lizzie Borden one as they looked silly. The Dahmer one was brilliant and I liked the Menendez one too even though that went a bit silly in places.

Yes the Dahmer one was brilliant and I enjoyed the vast majority of the Menendez Bros one.  I watched one Ed Gein episode and that was enough for me.  I maybe should have done the same with the Lizzie Borden one.
