I'll miss Homeland too. This series has been consistently excellent and they have worked the whole premise of the programme nto a blinding finale...

Watched series 6 of Bosch over the last week enjoyable too..

DEVs available on iplayer is a pretty decent looking  Sci-fi, 3 episodes in. American.

Man in the High Castle - Very enjoyable if you can get past the crazy stuff wasn't sure they needed it but offered an extra layer to the story I guess.

After Life 2 - Very similar to the first season but not as good I thought way too morbid after the first season they had a chance to move it on and didn't.

Run - Enjoyed the first episode think it has potential

Avenue 5 - Not sure very dark and I normally like Ianucci's stuff but this wasn't really for me.

Looking at Despatches from elsewhere next has anyone seen it??

Also if you can check out the Beastie Boys live documentary on AppleTV I really liked it.

I finished this off today, really caught my imagination, Sci-fi but not in a spacey way. A bit hi brow for a lot of tastes I'd imagine but really interesting & entertaining. Written and directed by Alex Garland.

I've watched 8 (of 12 x 30m) of Normal People, the much hyped Irish show on iplayer, enterteraining show if you want to revisit your teenage angst and romantic troubles - too many sex scenes, nearly undoes the actual story imo.

is Avenue 5  really Dark? . I saw the  1st episode and thought it was very light and every one in on the Joke.
Loved tnthe thick of it and Veep . Avenue 5  did seem in the same class.
should i ikeep watching

Seen the first two episodes.

Hmm I'm not sure about it. Will give it a couple more, but it looks like one of those long dragged out series where little to nothing happens (a bit like that 'Castle Rock' series. Jesus that was a bore!)

Anyone watched devs?

I've heard rave reviews and am on the last episode now but not so sure.

Jeepers Creepers

#5813
El Chapo any use having just come off Narcos?

If you don't like it after 2 I don't think you'll grow to like it - as I thought it started of strongly and has faltered a bit since! Still good enough.

Fauda is quite good. Obviously written from an Israeli perspective but not as much of a propaganda vehicle as you might think.

Yeah you may as well it's not a huge time investment with half hour episodes.

My 12 year old son loves Basketball.

I see that The Last Dance is 15.  Has there been anything in it so far that would be unsuitable for a 12 year old?

Apart from the odd reference to alcohol or drink I would say work away.  It's fantastic.  My 11 year old loves his sports but wouldn't have a clue about basketball.  I am tempted to get him to watch it to experience the skill, determination and dedication these lads had.  It's a fantastic watch.

Westworld S3 is pretty good. Better than S2.
