I was a little disappointed with the finale.

It was kinda - "Oh, it turns out this guy deals drugs and lives next door, I guess we'll go an arrest him. Also, someone that is now dead said so and so did X, so we've put him behind bars too" I find it hard to beleive either case would be that simple and we basically just had it narrated to us. Even the head to head that finally happened was naughty boy apologising.

Generally very good TV, but almost felt like, someone didn't know they had to wrap it up in 20 minutes... thinking they had 2 or 3 more eps to go.

Just watched the final and yeah, I agree that those bits were a bit ridiculous.

So definitely wasn't the sensational final I'd read it to be but I still really enjoyed it and would thoroughly recommend.
 
After enjoying Happy Valley we decided to try Last Tango in Halifax. Obviously not the same but the same writer and star do thought, why not.

First episode was more than good enough to continue with.

I've found that's just as much about the type of show as it is how good the show is. I agree, it wouldn't be as good a second time around. BB is in my top 3, but wasn't nearly as good the second time round, when you know what's coming. GoT was way better the second time round when things made more sense.

I've just finished my second viewing of BB and my dislike for Walter was far greater this time round.
 
Just finished series 1-3 of Succession.

What a program. Thoroughly enjoyed that, and the last episode of series 3 is incredible, a proper tour de force for the actors involved.

Looking forward to the end of March for series 4.

Afterlife is an amazing mixture of deep, unrelenting depression with very dark themes, some genuine funny bits, and some real moments of writing genius, especially those bench scenes.

I remember one of those scenes where the lady says something like "happiness is a wonderful thing. And the amazing part is, it doesn't even have to be your happiness".

I thought the scenes with the psychoanalyst and also the ones with him and his mates being outright crude and one trying to outdo the other were not actually funny at all. What is absolutely hilarious is the youtube outtakes showing Gervais breaking down time after time requiring many many retakes.

Genuinely would be concerned for anyone who is depressed watching the first few episodes as it is pretty dark stuff.

I started 'La Riena Del Sur' (Or something like that, 'Queen of the South') for my next 'learning Spanish by watching Netflix shows' as it's quite highly rated on IMDb... but... it's kind of like watching a Spanish soap opera. The terrible audio, strange sound effects and questionable acting. Not what I'm used to after Money Heist. 3 eps in, but I might give it a miss. Anyone else watched it?

Yeah, I watched some of an episode, it's pretty awful - then I tried the direct remake called Queen of the South which is a bit more serious but still borderline ludicrous at times. Managed 3 episodes of that.
