Only Child on iplayer is pretty funny. Especially if you're an only child looking after aging parents!

Just upto the golf episode, been quite thought provoking. Do love Gregor Fisher when he has a rant, half expecting him to go full Rab C nesbitt at some point

Just started 'Landman' with Billy Bob Thornton.
'A modern-day tale of fortune seeking in the world of West Texas oil rigs'


3 Episodes in..superb so far.

Really enjoy the script writing of Taylor Sheridan.
He must be making a shit ton of money these days.

I started to watch it, but felt there were far too many abbreviations and acronyms being banded about.

The EBD told the FCM that the BRAG can't move on their offer to the JBW.

I was lost after about 20 mins

Watching Brian and Charles currently on Film 4, bizarre film but quite funny.
About a guy in the Welsh Mountains who invents an AI robot out of a washing machine

Great film , David Earl is wonderful in it

A bit late to the party, but finally finished Gomorrah on Sky Atlantic.
Thought it was brilliant. Not as good as Sopranos and doesn't have the same humour, but a lot bleaker and more realistic.

Might start Kin next, heard it's meant to be good?

I’d skip Kin for another lesser known in the UK Irish gangland drama - Love / Hate.

The first series is pretty low budget, but stick with it, as it goes full on from series two onwards.

It‘s not as glossy as Kin, but much more full on and the transformation of one of the lead characters- Nidge, from low level gang member, to the brutal gang leader - King Nidge, is outstanding.

Nice one, will give it a go. Sounds a lot like Gomorrah!

King Nidge sounds like someone who would call into our local after match phone ins!

Much prefer Francis

Another one I can highly recommend is - Subbura Blood on Rome.

Crime drama, interlinking corruption in the Vatican and organised crime in Rome.

Quite a brave piece of tv, as there‘s no way the Vatican can have been happy about the way it’s been portrayed in this.

Quite similar to Gomorra, but one of the main characters is a gay Roma gypsy, who has to hide is homosexuality from his own community and all of the other gang members, one of whom he’s in love with.

His character is there to take a massive swipe at the Italian male culture, which again is brave writing.

It’s a whisker away from being as good as Gomorra.

 

[Farmer Jim]

Much prefer Francis

He‘s a great character, but not as much of a monster as Nidge. His transformation from doting family man, to full on psycho is brilliant writing.

I‘ve read that they’re doing a spin off, based on the traveller family.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Love/hate is fantastic, I think it’s available on itvx

Fran is a great character

 

[Flying Fokker]

Should have checked on here before settling down with Mrs Fokker. Disclaimer. Worth watching to the end.

Yeah, we really liked it.

For my part, at the moment I am watching...

Day of the Jackal - Really good

Lioness - Pretty decent

Bad Sisters - Love it

Before - Pretty decent

Silo - Very good

Just finished watching Tulsa King and Disclaimer and loved both of those.

 

[Flying Fokker]

Silo and Bad Sisters are next.

 

[shmmeee]

Bad Sisters is stressful this season. How do they find such dislikable bad guys as well?

Catching up on Mare of Easttown, good so far
