Going to start on Blindspot. 5 series, about 100 episodes in total. Looking forward to it.

Hoping no one posts on here ' Don't bother,it's shit '

I enjoyed the first couple, didn't keep up with it but was an okay watch

The first 4 episodes of the new season of The Mandolorian have been awesome, particularly episodes 1 and 3. Some great easter eggs for nerds like me who have read the new novels and enjoyed The Clone Wars/Rebels shows too.

We have just started watching The Mandalorian with the kids and even they are enjoying it. Although, I think my 5 year old son only likes the bits with the baby Yoda in. We are have only seen the first 4 episodes of season one so far but it is great. I am pleased to hear that season two is also good.

I like the new season too. Shame about Gina Carano's recent tweets.

Same here.

Yeah I had no idea she was such an ardent arsehat.

What has she said? Couldn't see anything out of line on there, unless I didn't go back far enough?

Fans are calling for 'The Mandalorian' star Gina Carano's removal over anti-mask and voter fraud tweets

Gina Carano also asked her followers to join her on Parler, a social-media app touted by right-wing pundits, which has "no fact checkers."

Shame. I love the idea of a girl who could kick fuck out of me.

Half way through S3 of The Wire and its miles better than S2, really into it now. It’s still really slow but such a deep storyline. That Marlow is a vile character, really adds some nastiness to it.

Marlow is a great character. In fact his crew of mercenaries are all great characters. They really shook things up in Season 3.
Lots of nastiness coming in the next 2 seasons

Yeah you can see it just from him coming into it. Looks like there’s something between Stringer and Avon brewing as well but I take it that goes all the way to the end.

As a republican I don't have any interest in watching it, but it's amazing how many people either think it's a factual portrayal or complain that this series isn't as accurate as the others based principally on the fact they they can remember the events, as if the if others weren't made up as well, just hung around some basic historical context

It's also far from a glowing endorsement of the monarchy at times!

The actress who plays Diana is absolutely amazing - such a good performance.

People losing their shit over the Crown is hilarious. its openly a tiny bit fact and the rest made up OTT guesswork.

My fave has been people moaning that Thatcher was portrayed as cold and at time heartless. I took that as the main part of the truth telling but some didn't

Comedy gold yesterday on some quiz Omid Djalili hosts, glad I caught a couple of minutes of it.

Q: “Monday’s child is said to be fair of what?”

A: “Egypt”

Yeah it's really odd how people have reacted to The Crown. It's a Netflix drama - of course there's going to be a bit of artistic/dramatic license!

Took me ages to realise that the dude playing King George VI in the first season is the same actor who played the lead role in Chernobyl. No wonder King George didn't live that long.

After The Wire, watch the same actor playing a detective in Bosch. If you thought Anthony Starr in Banshee and The Boys was a head fuck...

Sounds quite factual then to me!

Absolutely!! Took me a while to get used to it.

I really enjoyed Bosch, i love his house overlooking LA, amazing.

I need to catch up on Bosch, watched the first two series and I only found out the other day they’ve been busy and made four more!
