Just finished Halo, although it seems as though I’m the only one on the planet who enjoyed it. Just starting Strange New Worlds so we’ll see how that goes, although so far any peril seems easily solved and everyone’s happy in time for the next episode far too quickly: it’s no TNG (yet).

Trouble is, it’s only recently that a load of Marvel stuff was dumped onto Disney so after ploughing through Daredevil and Jessica Jones I’m still only 2/3 of the way through Luke Cage before it’s Iron Fist, Punisher, the rest of Miss Marvel etc etc.

There’s too much!!
I'd watch Punisher, loved Daredevil, Luke Cage and am not finished Jessica Jones but Iron Fist was not great in my opinion.

Enjoying 'Billions', decent cast, decent storyline, 5 episodes in, hopefully it holds our interest

So, I started season 2 of Yellowstone on Sunday afternoon and, much like a good book you can't put down, I kept watching 'just one more' episode until I'd watched the whole season!

I did the same thing with season 3 yesterday! Wow, what a cliffhanger they left me with at the end!!

What an absolutely superb drama series! I plan to hold off on season 4 until all episodes are available and, I see there is another season coming in a couple of months, can't wait!

It isn't new, and I don't know how we missed it, but DEADWOOD.

Brilliant stuff, a few in on S2 at the moment.

Another vote for The Offer. Intersting casting with three main characters played by English actors.

Most enjoyable with some very funny moments.

just watched "Sometimes When We Touch" a three-parter about Yacht-rock/soft rock. Bit back-and-forth with the years, some unexpected entrants in the genre (Lionel Richie?) and some interesting factoids (I had no idea whatsoever that Ray Parker Jr was so damn talented!).

Worth it if only for the nostalgia

Haven't watched South Park since the late 90s but I watched a recent episode, S26 E2.

The episode taking the piss out of Harry and Megan. Didn't disappoint, thought it was quite amusing!

I'm no fan of H&M but I found it forced, heavy handed and reminded me why I lost interest in South Park years ago

Thanks to the recommendations in this thread I started watching Yellowstone a week or so ago - Started season 4 last night, absolutely loving it - Been ages since I found a decent series that has hooked me like this one.

Anyone watched any of the spin-offs? Are they as good?


EDIT: Just found the Yellowstone thread, I'll have a read.....

They're almost as good, which is high praise in itself. I've just finished 1923 (the Helen Mirren, Harrison Ford offering) and really enjoyed it. Already find myself looking forward to season 2.

Thought the first episode of Rabbit Hole was quite good. Thought it was going to be like Hustle but then it took a quite different turn. Plus Keifer’s always good value.

Just watched it channel 5 i may have to pay to watch the rest, the 1st series in a long time that’s drawn my interest.

Your Honor. Started watching it when on Prime then it disappeared. 2 seasons now and some great characters building. Shame it seems there might not be a season 3. Cranston has suggested there might be but with him as producer instead of starring. How would that work if there wasn't a Your Honor cast member?

Anyone watched Yellowjackets?

Just finished s2 - good show, not the fastest paced thing.

Very grim in places.
