Silo Season 3. Really superb. Big step up from Season 2.

The Box. Wouldn’t say watching, more being subjected to… Absolute shite.
When the fck did Gary Lineker morph into Philip Schofield?

Started off woefully. Too slow. Too much forgetty spaghetti. Got much better.

The last episode was a belter.

Last episode was nuts! Last two, in fact. I agree the opening of the season wasn’t the best, but I thought it redeemed itself pretty quickly. Have you seen the preview of the next season? I wouldn’t usually watch that, but I couldn’t help myself.

Excellent pre nap viewing - I’ve not made it to the end of a single episode, quite the sedative.

Yeah reacher is on in the background as I type this.

It’s utter bollocks. S1 was great escapist violence. This is just shit.

The third and final series of this brutal but funny Australian tale sees Gordon & Ash, now with their own partners, meet up again & stumble back into their relationship.

With a very funny cast of supporting characters this really well written comedy comes to a satisfyiing conclusion making great use of Nick Cave’s Into my arms at the end.

Just started watching S1, enjoying it so far. The facial acting during awkward conversations is top drawer.

It must help that the lead actors (who are also the writers) are actually a married couple.

The Gentlemen season 2.

Take some pub banter (Always at least 47% bullshit) write a screen play (add 27% more bullshit) Find some excellent locations and styling (Call this polish - so 10% more bullshit) and bung it on Netflix.

Set disbelief to coma, it’s watchable twaddle.

Good. I enjoyed the 1st series.

We’re deep into the series and the usual repeated episode set up of some golden fleece mission to extricate themselves from some bind has gone off rails and it shows. Also Eddie has miraculously developed from unwitting accomplice into hardened crime boss.

But yes watchable twaddle!

Another Guy Richie outing.

A film that refuses to stand still, signature settings and ‘Bantz’ with a fairly interesting plot. Not completely shit. Nonsense factor :7+

Apocalypse on Ch4.

Like The Road but reimagined as reality TV. The people dynamics are already wild in Ep1.
