No spoilers please!

Just finished Landman. Billy Bob Thornton and Ali Larter superb.

Superb new Australian drama series "The Narrow Road to the Deep North" has me hooked after half of the first episode.

Just finished The .Art of Joy on Sky Atlantic, Italian series about a girl who will do anything to get what she wants. Set around the time of the first world war. We enjoyed it.

BBC1 'This City Is Ours'.....oosh!

Just watched part 1.  Deaf subtitles should be optional not mandatory.  They were too intrusive and are only helpful if you need them.

 

it looks like iPlayer solves this so all good. 👍

I found the "subtitles on - sound off" option made it a whole lot more bearable but still had to call it a day after twenty minutes ... 😂

New series of Black Mirror 

Bit under whelmed with the first one of this new series, as a fairly obvious story line

has anyone clocked the rest of the episodes?

any standouts ?

I liked the third one, 'Hotel Reverie' and the fifth one,'Eulogy'

Hardhitting TV the young kid was fabulous. Graham rarely disappoints and he didn't here surely an award on it's way for this.

Mobland paramount +. Top stars and gets better every episode 

I watched The Night of the 12th last night - in French with easy to follow subtitles. Based on a gripping true story & well worth watching - it's available on Channel 4 catch up. Definite 👍 from me.

Very much enjoyed Kathryn but you could have said it was a film not a series, we assumed it was going to continue, hooked and ready for episode 2 ,credits rolled then nothing 🤣🤣, as you say well worth a watch.

Sorry - my mistake! I'll remember for next time xx

Is anyone watching Malpractice? It's a brilliant, well-acted drama series on ITV - about the stresses & strains felt by NHS staff to meet targets etc. Another 👍 from me!

Started watching 'The Agency' on Paramount+

It's an english language  remake of a French series - 'Le Bureau des Légendes' (also on Paramount +) - that came out a few years back and which is one of my top 5 TV shows of all time

Well worth a watch and Michael Fassbiende is pretty good in the lead role. But IMHO, the french original is better.

oops -* Fassbender
