One to avoid, even if herself asks very nicely... "Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette" on Disney+

Complete tripe, with some of the worst acting you will see.

Tedious clichéd shite. If you like a show where every single soldier, cop and bad guy can't shoot straight but the hero never misses and he happens to have a bomb disposal truck in his garage this is for you.
Sounds like the A-Team.,

The big difference is that the A team did all of this tongue in cheek; it was a pure piss take.

Whereas the cornerstone of seemingly over a dozen high budget US tv series per year now seems to be "troubled but virtuous man with special armed forces training, who is justified, correct and always able to take the lives of dozens of less virtuous former special armed forces people".

Perfectly put.
Throw in some bad bad acting too to get the full picture.
Reacher also springs to mind...but I'll likely still watch it for some reason I cant understand myself.

Was the name of the show not a dead giveaway?

Sometimes you just have to suck it up, knowing full well what to expect.

Cheers on TG4 - I'm into  series 3 now. I never really  watched it in the past , and I'm really enjoying it. Frasier has featured in quite a few episodes at this stage now.   A bit of an underwhelming character to date though , I have to say.

How  did he end up with his own spin off? And for  so long? 

Maybe he gets funnier?

Does documentary count?

"Wheres my Roy Cohn?" Is good.

Even the circumstances of the mans birth was a scam. [I wont spoil it but I laughed when I heard it]

Ah what a show.  I actually should go back and watch it again. He maybe gets slightly funnier but my memory of him is still as an outlier.  I actually really liked the show Fraiser.  It was made by Niles though IMO.  The new series of Fraiser just didnt work due to his absence.

Every morn 3 episodes on ch4 comrades. I tip in for ten mins most morns lol

Frasier had his moments but overall just one part of a great cast. To my shame I've never watched his spin off. On my to do list

Ah man, come on. Frasier is one of the greatest sitcoms ever. It always got so much less love than Friends but was 100x times the show.
