The Bear.

Easily one of the best shows I’ve watched in a long time. You feel like you’re in amongst it.

The 7th episode is absolutely brilliant, so full of tension and only after about 15 minutes do you clock it’s been one shot the whole time.

I really enjoyed it. Very atmospheric.

Have you seen the film Boiling Point? Stephen Graham is in it, again set in a restaurant and filmed in one take. Different characters and dynamics to The Bear, but similarly intense. Well worth a watch, if you've not seen it already.
 
Anyone know where I can watch Godfather of Harlem season 3? First episode was out last week, doesn’t appear to be on Amazon.

Not sure Ill bother. The last one started alright but ended up too daft for me

Yeah I thought Your Honor started daft and gave up after 2 episodes. So if it got dafter I don't think I'll be giving it another go.

Just watched The Last of Us (Ep01). Was really trying to wait until all 9 aired, but succumbed to the good reviews after replaying the game last week . Really enjoyed it and it deserves the praise it has received so far. Might stick the game on again.
 
Finished Kaleidoscope last night. It was OK while it lasted, but there were some really dumb elements to it that annoyed me. The fiendishly complicated security mechanisms employed by the vault that were overcome with ease .... and a swarm of bees (WTF?) Then there were the one-dimensional characters and the overuse of music grated after a while. And no explanation of how Roger Salas went from where he was in the "25 years ago" episode to where he was in the "7 years ago" episode.

I watched it in chronologically, and I can't see any reason for doing otherwise - the "whole watch in any order" ploy was just another gimmick.

It was 100% a gimmick. And worked, got the talking and the hype and drew people to watch it to what is ultimately a basic cheesy heist series with some ott stretches to cover over gaping holes.

If I just watch the last episode will that be enough?[emoji1]

we've just binged watched happy valley and are now upto date
how we've missed this ill never know
but its up there with the best drama's easily in my top 10
brilliant and clever storylines all the waythrough, (a round of applause to sally wainwright for writing this)
sarah lancashire is a tour de force
the scene at the start of episode 3 between catherine and clare is bafta worthy

It’s a superb series. I’ve watched many if not all of Sally Wainwright’s stuff. She’s a brilliant writer. She did At Home with The Braithwaites in the early 2000’s which was superb, as well as Last Tango in Halifax, not to mention the superb Gentleman Jack. She may have done others too. I agree Sarah Lancashire is a great actress and does this part so well. She was so good in Coronation Street though. You may notice a few of the actors appear on many Sally Wainwright’s productions, including John Anthony Tueart, who in Happy Valley (3) is the headmaster. Yes, it’s Dennis Tueart’s son;)

Regarding The Last of Us - can anyone recommend whether I should play the game before watching the series, or vice versa?

I think it is near enough the same story line so you don't need to have played the game. I haven't played the game and I'm enjoying the series so far.
