Had Russian Doll on my Netflix list for awhile but not got around to it yet, I've just downloaded Pokerface to the Sky box as the wife wants to try it too, looks entertaining at least.

I’m not sure anything ranks alongside it. It was really wonderful.The last episode of succession yesterday. Perfect in every way. The 4 series must rank alongside the very best.

Enjoying Steeltown Murders on BBC. I like the way the story is told between the two timelines and with the passing of time how advancements in science make it possible to progress the case. Based on true events as well.

You can take it from me it is very loosely based. Robbie Coltrane did a documentary on it a few years ago that is bang on. My best mate worked on the whole case closely, the whole series is driving him up the wallEnjoying Steeltown Murders on BBC.

Stopped watching Citadel, laughable script and Madden and his co-star are truly awful. Reminded me of Amazon throwing money at the Lord of the Rings thing and I turned that off after half an hour.
Just watched the final Succession. Loved this show but what a crap ending and never recovered after episode three of the last series.

Absolutely.
Thought I must admit that I didn’t really understand the series from the off.
I watched season 1, found it uncomfortable viewing, I hated all the characters and found some storyline concepts laughable. There was still something compelling about it so I stuck with it and I’m glad I did.
It was only a few episodes into season 2, when I got my bonce round it being both a drama and a black comedy (gripping but still ok to laugh), that I felt I could really get the best out of it and seasons 2 to 4 were much improved by my head being in the right place.
I strongly suspect that if I watch the whole shebang again in a couple of years, as is my way, then I’ll get a bit more out of it at second viewing.
Only 2 more episodes of Barry to go and I didn't think I'd be saying this after the first 3 series but fuck me I'll be glad to see it gone. What the hell happened with series 4? I keep waiting for it to revert to it's previous excellence but week after week it's disappointed me.
I felt that way at S3 in fairness.
I'll wait till you finish it before saying what I thought of it.
you will not watch better TV as it all starts to unravelFinally watching Better Call Saul. 1st series seems to be a bit of a drag, but everyone raves about it so sticking with it.
