Can’t wait it finishes after that season hope it’s as good as the other 5 seasons and good ending.

Can't wait for my yearly watch of the first 3 episodes of Season 1, not liking it and trying to figure out why I don't like it!
 
Said this already, I watched squid game the other week, and whilst I was keen to watch it all through and enjoyed it, looking back it was pretty crap with glaringly big plot holes.

Off the back of that, I've just watched Alice in borderland. For the same reasons I enjoyed watching squid game, I enjoyed this, it was better than squid game in those respects in my eyes, however, also for the same reasons I thought squid game was pretty shit on reflection, Alice in borderland is even more shit. Plot holes start off relatively small and get bigger and bigger until they become just outright stupid towards the end.
 
Finished Travelers, thanks for the recommendation a couple on here. Enjoyed it overall. One or two things in it that typically frustrate me, that many shows at some point suffer from (suddenly expanding the storyline, and breaking their own 'rules' they have set out) but mostly found it fun and engaging throughout.

To revisit our 3 way discussion @Centurions and @FantasyIreland, I wasn't really that annoyed by it being cancelled, knowing it was coming. They were clearly given notice, because they managed to focus towards an ending wrap up pretty well imo, leaving only minor loose threads. Also used the chance to go big in the last few episodes. I do think it is probably for the best if I'm honest, already felt they were scrambling round for direction and dipping in and out of storeylines, and it was maybe at risk of getting weaker and dragging on. This way it leaves a well rounded off self contained enjoyable 3 season series.

This is another foreign series that’s decent.

For me TV writers should write like it’s a book with a beginning a middle and and end have series only around 4/6 series long so you have a conclusion to it!
 
Just finishing season 5 of the Sopranos
A pretty lacklustre season I'd say , signs of being contrived
I don't think Buscemi's character is any good either

I fancy Boardwalk Empire next possibly
 
A radio series but l give it a mention Brief Lives on Radio 4, a out a Manchester lawyer who happens to be a blue. His partner complains that his three priorities are
1. City
2. His clients
3. Everybody else.
Apart from clients that sounds a bit familiar.
Every episode there are good mentions about City which must upset the producers and crew, the City- haters at BBC Salford.

Season 3 of Boardwalk is up there with the best TV. Its an excellent series in general, but dips after season 4. Apparently the director wrapped it up in a rush so he coukd film the series 'Vinyl.' It was a tad disappointing, though watchable.
 
Watched the first episode of Dopesick don’t remember this going on in America at the time very interesting..

The series takes viewers to the
epicenter of America's struggle with
opioid addiction, from the boardrooms
of Purdue Pharma, to a distressed
Virginia mining community, to the
hallways of the DEA,

Oh, I remember it happening! But, you have reminded me to watch beyond ep 1, so I need to catch up! To think that the FDA were bought and paid for back then, up until now!

On my radar tomorrow!
 
Watched the first episode in the new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Brilliant how the high standard remains season after season.
 
Long shot but does anyone know where I'm up to with Spiral?

Absolutely loved this show (and it's genuinely great telly) but a few things happened in my life so I lost touch with it.

I'm now looking at 8 seasons and thinking were the hell do I resume....
