Love old historical tv series.
Re-watching Rome at the moment.
Will give a re-run to Medicis and Borgias afterwards.

Really enjoyed Rome. The actor for Mark Antony is brilliant.

One of the finest bits of TV of the last few decades. Stick with it though. You will be rewarded.

I saw the documentary ‘Riefenstahl’. About Leni Riefenstahl, director of many Nazi propaganda films and who filmed the ‘Jesse Owens’ Olympics.

An interesting watch. Seems to have had close relationships with Nazi leaders.
Denied knowing what was going on at the time…

I watched the Chevy Chase documentary last night , I think he was in character a lot in it . But came across decent enough towards the end .

Network & cable TV took an absolute hammering at the Critics Choice Awards last night, only won 4 of 21 awards. And a couple of those weren't exactly facing strong competition, best talk show which is pretty much only network tv, and SNL winning comedy special which was pretty much a foregone conclusion with it being the 50th anniversary.

Adolescence (Netflix) was the big winner and a strong night for AppleTV with Plurius, Severance and The Studio picking up awards.

The Pitt (HBO Max) was another big winner, we should get that as a launch title for HBO Max here in March.

The Studio was potentially my favourite tv series of 2025, utterly immense from start to finish. The Pitt is also great.

It's really good but what the fuck. Near the end of Series 2. It's like the writers had some acid.

Been watching Mr Mercedes on Netflix the last couple of weeks and now on the third series.
It's a Stephen King adaptation crime thriller and apparently it's quite close to the books, but not really sure what I think of it.
The first series was good, but it lost me a bit in the second. Brendan Gleeson is probably what's keeping me with it

What really annoyed me, was that Carol was supposed to be this feisty, strong and independent woman, who was totally resistant to the " others ", then all of sudden she gets a bit randy, abandons all of her principles and morals and jumps straight into bed with Zosia ! ( I appreciate she was achingly lonely, but she`d just lost her soul mate and was supposed to be grieving )

I`m a massive fan of stuff like this and the premise was fantastic, but there was just little bits of it that just let it down for me, her and Zosia being one of them.

That annoyed me as well but the whole situation was engineered by 'them' to get her to that point of desperation and overall it was very well done.

The final episode of Pluribus sent me into a genuine existential crisis. I found the opening scene utterly horrific and deeply upsetting; an entire culture, an entire heritage, an entire language even, gone in the blink of an eye. The virus is one of the greatest villains in television history. I'm fully Team Manousos at this point

Yeah I was the same. It got weird

Yeah, the whole supernatural mind controlling plot in series two was really odd and only explained due to "Chinese experimental drug".
Series three seems a bit more grounded again so far

Yeah I thought the same. The first series was a real whodunnit type thing. Then it went mental.

Just finished the Dexter resurrection series , fantastic cast in particular Peter Dinklage . Fantastic cast too much better then the original sin series

Waiting for the Out - got rave reviews but didn't really do it for me.

First episode was enough to make you think it was going somewhere and by the middle of the series it looked like it was headed somewhere but it just seemed to loose steam.

One episode in to the Revenge Club which is far from believable but a strong cast make it very watchable without needing to engage yoru brain too much.

Agree with others, series 2 went really strange, however stuck it out to the end and series 3 got better, well worth keeping going to the end AOM

I`m just about to finish series 3.

If it wasn`t for Brendan Glesson, I`d have probably ditched it after series one.

Some of the actors are proper daytime tv actors
