When i first started watching this i thought it was going to be just another teenage orientated rehash.
Was glad i stuck with it though as it just got better and better.

Started watching the BBC America series of Dirk Gently Holistic Detective. Very funny, highly chaotic really enjoying it. Will probably go and watch the BBC4 version once finished this.

Last weekend i watched all of Tulsa King.. I really enjoyed it. It was a good blend of a mobster show with a bit of comedy. Looking forward to the new season on sunday.
I also started to watch Lost again last night.. Still love the first episode.

The Old Man just saw season 2 had restarted and after watching S01E01 it’s kinda one of those you have to keep watching. Planning on watching a few more tonight. He’s not bad for 74 bit like Jason Statham old man fighting.

Taskmaster - I still kinda enjoy it but I kinda feel the magic is gone.
Once it gets going it can be kind of "moreish", despite some needless bits. I could easily have watched twice as many episodes as they made before I got bored of it I think.

Getting round to Shogun. Avoided it slightly because of the time period, but was pleasantly surprised to find it barrels along from the get go and keeps the interest.
It’s weird, I just watched episode 5 and found it pretty boring, a sudden backward step
I watch every season but tempted not to this time round due to Rosie Jones being on it. I just don't find her funny.

Discovered Person of Interest 10 years after it finished, pretty good!

I guess the one thing about Taskmaster is the comedians are often very different in this format when compared to their stand up or comedy acting. Nish Kumar who is a truly awful stand up was actually funny and likeable on Taskmaster and Liza Tarbuck was far more entertaining than in anything else I've seen. But I have yet to find Rosie Jones funny in anything yet, so I wait to be surprised.
Had it on my list for ages but just getting round to watching Mare of Easttown, about 5 episodes at the moment and really enjoying it
Watched the second season of True Detective before this (the Colin Farrell/Vince Vaughan one) which was overly complicated for no reason, are season 3 and 4 worth watching?

Yes but they don't even come close to S1 but nothing does, S1 was perfect TV, both better than S2 though

Finished Perfect Couple last night. Very stylish, really enjoyed it and didn't guess the whodunnit either.
I ended up watching it, was OK, I dunno what the book is like but felt like the TV series had been written around a Benoit Blanc like character who'd been pulled and then patched over. I mostly disengaged brain for most of it so might have missed some stuff but felt like a lot of the clues were only fleshed out with the details needed to decipher them in the last 30-40 minutes and seemed like there was a big plot hole surrounding what enabled the method of death.
EDIT: Just Googled it and yeah there is a gaping plot hole there.

Great show - there is a video on YT which shows how they could have continued it which is quite well done and would have been the perfect start for a new season.
