Twin Peaks the return?Probably already been mentioned on here; Yellowstone. Exceptional show.
Also, recently rewatched Twin Peaks. I'd forgotten how good it was.

The spin offs that are out are fantastic. Only doing two series of each which is enough!I love(d) Yellowstone, but as the seasons have gone on, its gotten a bit samey for me. We need a resolution one way or the other and rumour has it the show will end after S5 so hopefully we get one.
(I say end....Sheridan has got about 700 spin offs in the pipeline apparently).
I thought Twin Peaks the return was some of the best television I’ve ever seen.Original. Although the return is also brilliant.
The only tv show I watched again immediately.

Last thing I’ve ever thought is/was that it’s ever been a bit samey tbh mate, I think it’s been superbly paced, but I do think one more series is just about right (is for me anyway), think that’s enough to tie everything together.I love(d) Yellowstone, but as the seasons have gone on, its gotten a bit samey for me.

Yellowstone to End With Season 5 — Spinoff Set to Debut Late This Year
By Charlie Mason / May 5 2023, 6:13 AM PDT
Yellowstone is being taken to the train station: Paramount Network announced on Friday morning that the Season 5 finale of its smash neo-Western will also be the series’ finale.
TVLine’s Cable Scorecard has been thusly updated.
It was also announced that said swan song will begin airing in November, with an as-yet-untitled spinoff of unknown premise — one quite possibly led by Matthew McConaughey — on track to debut in December on Paramount Network and then stream on Paramount+. (Yellowstone proper famously streams on Peacock, as the result of a long-ago deal brokered with tragically little forethought.)
“The Dutton story continues, picking up where Yellowstone leaves off in another epic tale,” 101 Studios CEO David Glasser said of the offshoot. “We are thrilled to bring this new journey to audiences around the world.”
In early February, fans heard the first rumblings that, despite the drama roping ratings that are bigger than Montana’s sky, it might be prematurely put out to pasture. In a report published by Deadline, leading man Kevin Costner was alleged to only want to work one week on the eight episodes that comprise the back half of Season 5. The story went on to say that not only had the network turned down Costner’s proposal, it was looking to launch a new iteration of Yellowstone to possibly star McConaughey and air on Paramount+ vs. the linear network.
At the time, Costner’s attorney told Puck News that “the idea that Kevin was only willing to work one week on the second half of Season 5 of Yellowstone is an absolute lie,” and Paramount Network issued a statement saying that while McConaughey “is a phenomenal talent with whom we’d love to partner… Costner is a big part of Yellowstone and we hope that’s the case for a long time to come.”
Well, it isn’t.
Created by Taylor Sheridan and John Linson, Yellowstone introduced viewers to Costner’s John Dutton and his dysfunctional family in 2018. Thus far, it has spawned two Paramount+ spinoffs, 1883 and 1923 (which has been renewed for a second season). Also in the works at Paramount+ are Bass Reeves, an 1883 offshoot starring David Oyelowo (Selma) as the legendary lawman, and 6666, set at the centuries-old ranch at which former Yellowstone hand Jimmy (Jefferson White) now works.

Don't know if many people here watch Ted Lasso but this third season has been a right slog for me.
Not sure what happened behind the scenes but it feels like a lot of life has been sapped from it. Episodes drag on way too long, there are very few actual jokes or laugh out loud moments, there's almost no focus on the actual football, and even though it's apparently the final season, they've decided to introduce a bunch of boring new side characters to take up screen-time.
Very odd. I absolutely loved the first two seasons but something is really different this time around. Shame.

WTF was the point of Shandy?
The Colin being gay storyline had the potential to create an interesting discussion about LGBT people in football and sports in general, but it just feels like an afterthought at this point.
Also, the way they flip flop the Nate character from utter heartless arsehole to sweet little shy guy is just tiring. It worked in season two on some level, but it's getting ridiculous now. The guy changes personality every week.

Me and my wife love it, but I recommended it to parents and brother and none of them could get into it. I think it's a bit of a Marmite show to be honest, but worth trying the first couple of episodes to see if it's your sort of humour. I find it pretty charming and funny, especially the first season. City actually appear quite a bit in the story too and there are a few little jokes about Pep (nothing nasty, just little lighthearted things).

A lot of people love it so it must be half decent. I personally didn't even make it through the first season. Just not my bag.Not watched any of TL yet is it as good as people say?
