Watching Space: Above and Beyond for the first time since the 90’s. Brilliant show and before its time, didn’t even make it for a second series.

Yep, one of my favourites. Such a shame it didn't get a few seasons aired.

I started 'People Just Do Nothing' and think it's great, unsure how this passed under my radar for so long. Only two episodes in but can see myself flying through this in no time.

Never even heard of it, but with 8.5 on IMDb and your recommendation, it's going on the list

I'd semi heard of it in passing but ignored it as at a quick glance, didn't seem my kind of thing. How wrong I was, fly on the wall faux documentary of a london pirate radio station. Genuinely had me laughing out loud a couple of times in the first couple of episodes.

It helps that although these are caricature characters, i've sort of known folks just like this.

Sweet tooth.

I started out full of childhood hope and glee but by the end I wanted to facepalm and transition to open hand punches to every single character bar one BIg man.

What a interesting concept taken so badly.

Just started and finished Brand New Cherry Flavour on Netflix and I'm in love with everything about it.

Very noir/body horror with a lot of Cronenburg and Lynch influence.

Very likely the most enjoyable television I've seen all year!

I binge watched all 3 episodes on channel 5 about the railway killers.

It was interesting in a macabre way.

Unbelievable that despite the DNA evidence to convict David Mulchay he still maintains his innocence!

Ted Lasso - Follows an American football coach Ted Lasso who heads to the U.K. to manage a struggling London football team in the top flight of English football. A comedy with a big heart. Currently 8.7 on imdb.

Changing Rooms lol.

What you don't tell these people is that you want bold and out there because you can guarantee that's a given lol.

Not the whole wall but it was quite horrific.

It sounds horrific! Be a pain to dust too.

Just finished White Lotus (HBO) loved it, felt very refreshing and looking forward to a second season in a few years. Wonderful OST and some really solid casting.

I guess you'd just vacuum it. It just seemed rather creepy. Like someone had scalped doogal but not included the head. :cry:

Just finished this as well and totally agree.

One of the most entertaining, but also thought provoking things I have watched in a long time.

As you've mentioned, the score was excellent. Unique, but it worked so well.

Finally finished Justified and what a fantastic show it was, easily in my top 5. :cool:

Agreed. It's in my top 3 with The Americans and Breaking Bad.

Started watching Mythic Quest, which is an Apple Original. A couple of the guys from Always Sunny In Philadelphia are responsible for this comedy of an MMO company. Pretty good so far.
