Enjoying this atm.Just saw an ad for one called “Tehran”. Same people that did Fauda. Could be very good.
If you don’t mind Subtitles
8/10
A Mossad agent goes undercover on her first mission in Iran's capital, which also happens to be the place of her birth; the mission has implications not just for the Middle East, but for the rest of the world.
First episode date: September 25, 2020
Network: Kan 11
The fall was good, and Aisling Bea was a welcome surprise. I was quite dissapointed her character didn't develop more, it felt like it was going to.I’ve been enjoying The Fall on Netflix. Quite like Aisling Bea in it.
Anyone else got an aversion to all American programmes ?

Up to episode 8 on Lovecraft Country.
Like a lot of people, I found the first episode a turn off. Just didn't work for me, in many ways.
But I'm really glad I stuck with it. Episodes 5, 6, and 7 burned the screen up with a awesome, wild, very fresh take on horror and sci-fi. The writing, dialogue and acting took a long time to click for me, but it's paying off now, plot points and character arcs coming together in a very satisfying way.
It's not going to be for everyone - the leaps can be very wild, the subject matter pretty touchy - but it's grounded in really high quality performances and dialogue from characters who at first seemed pretty dull, but now every scene, I feel like I'm watching them constantly reveal themselves from moment to moment. Good stuff.

Just finished an epic 4 season completion rinse of 'Justified' (Amazon Prime) ending with season finale this evening. Absolutely cracking show. Great performances (Walton Goggins take a bow son), some great plots and action and loved the different character interactions. While I didnt think s6 was anywhere near best it still gave a satisfying and emotional conclusion and as as a bit of a writer myself that last line of dialogue was an absolute gut wrenching peachy piece of writing that landed perfectly for me. Special mention to outstanding performances from 'supporting' actors who play Dewey Crowe, Dickie Bennett, Wynn Duffy, Arlo Givens and Ava Crowder (i could name more but you get the idea).
Special-special mention to Michael Rapport as Daryl Crowe with worst Southern accent ever commited to screen but such a great performance. Didn't think that was possible!

They should've called in Rodri.

Dewey Crowe is great.

Just finished season 4 of Fargo.
All I can say is for me it was a huge letdown after the 3 previous brilliant seasons.
The show's become a caricature of itself. The society it portrays is cartoonish. Every character is quirky, no one is normal or relatable. Writing showed occasional glimpses of the brilliant dry wit of seasons past, but more often, it was just intolerably stupid.
Chris Rock is no great actor. Especially after the solid performance of Euan McGregor in season 2.

Is it on Netflix?
Shame, was looking forward to that. All 3 seasons previously had that mind you, just in smaller doses.
A couple of episodes into The Queen's Gambit, a new mini series on Netflix, from the makers of Godless. Really enjoying it so far, going to watch another one or two episodes later, there's only seven in total.
Watched the first one last night. I like it.

I didn't finish episode 2 but it was worth watching for Paddy Considine's turn, he sounds like a funnier version of me doing an impression of someone trying to get a cockney knees-up going.3 episodes into the Third Day weird as fcuk and a show you have to watch to the end to see the outcome it’s slow and average
