The Tunnel is back this Thursday.

I cannot bloody wait for this. Really hope it lives up to the first 2. First series is as good as you're likely to get with a TV show. excluding The Bridge (SWE-DEN) of course.

Manhunt Unabomber. Watched 5 episodes in one go last night. Compelling viewing.

Just starting Black Sails, looks promising.

The End of the Fuc**** World is a good watch.
I’ll admit I also enjoyed Big Little Lies

I started watching The Crown... damn it's good.

Finally caught up on Peaky Blinders this week. Great show. Really looking forward to seeing where the next series goes with it.

Currently watching World War II In Colour on Netflix.

Basically just a documentary series on the war, but all footage has been colourised and it's fantastic. Some footage is superb and it's a superb in-depth look at the war.

Yes, as a WW2 buff I love it. The colour brings it to life but if you really want a great WW2 series, the BBC's WORLD AT WAR which is from the 1970s is excellent with interviews with many of the participants who were of course alive only 20 years after the war, including Admiral Donitz with his almost caricature English speaking accent.

On another matter, how many people have seen The Staircase and if so, do you think he's guilty or not?

Cracking show! Enjoyed every minute of it.

Spin offs from LOTR and Game of Thrones..Rings of Power and House of the Dragon. Rings of Power a big budget mess, veering way too far from source material, but House of the Dragon been a success so far. Interesting to see where they take both going forward though.

Two shows well worth anyone's time, both on the same universe, but running largely separately, The Boys and Gen V. The anti-superhero show. If you're familiar with the comic books, it's some of the best written material out there. Genuinely, The Boys is one of the most fun, but also most gory and disgusting shows I've ever watched and I am gutted I have to wait two years for the next season.

+1 for the boys.

Slow Horses - 4th series is dropping soon on apple tv.

Gary Oldman as a misanthropic washed up has been of an mi5 agent, on a punishment detail looking after a motley assortment of never will be's. It sounds not fun, but is compulsive viewing. Based on a series of books.
