Going back through that 70s show and it’s still a bloody classic. Fantastic show.
Just finished the good place and was quite good. Surprised I haven’t seen more people talk about it, although maybe I’ve just missed it.
Dead to me has a new season which is decent too.

Just finished the first three seasons of Line of Duty. It’s actually amazing. Sooo good! I was really surprised. Some of the most intense interrogation scenes I’ve ever seen. Excellent all around.
Enjoying the second season of What We Do In The Shadows.
With an 8.6 rating on IMDb, I really ought to give it a go again, just couldn't get past the first 3 episodes for some reason.
I didn’t even check the rating before. My gf loves these British crime shows, so she just put it on and I was instantly hooked!
started The Alienist , first ep is decent.
Almost finished with ballers. Might move onto a rewatch of TWD or watch entourage.
Done with the first season of Gomarrah. Its an Italian series about the mafia. One of the best crime shows I've seen in years. Absoultely amazing. Brillant storyline, top notch acting, realistic and filled with twists.
Reminds me of my uncle actually.Watched the first episode of Defending Jacob on Apple TV+ tonight. Pretty promising!
The soundtrack is brilliant too.
Man, I forgot about this. First season was really brilliant, need to make a note to finish this.
If you have Apple TV defending Jacob is very good
Yellowstone. Started watching it last week. 2 seasons out and I’ve finished them today. 3rd season is released mid June. I’ve enjoyed it. Pretty good, imo.
Normal People - watched under protest but the better half wanted to watch it so I complied. A bit soppy for the average Caf audience I'd say but surprisingly good.
Same with me, watched it to keep the peace with Mrs Nialler, its actually not half bad, I'm only on episode 4 and will continue, some great acting.
Normal People is great. One of the best depictions of rural Ireland / university life I've seen (maybe even as good as Father Ted!), and the two leads are brilliant. The scene where Connell first walked into Trinity though the bustling Dublin traffic was so well done. Resonated a lot with me and many others.
Aye, I'm two episodes in now.
I'm on about the 5th or 6th episode and still enjoying it
I know its not really a recommendation but know there have been threads about it in the past, but there are some new Undateables episodes (from March, but they seem to advertise them less nowadays so I completely missed it so just in case anyone else likes them but has also missed it)
The Virtues Not and easy watch but great TV
It’s been mentioned before but just finished rewatching Unbelievable on Netflix and can’t recommend it enough.
Difficult watch, harrowing at times with being a true story, but gripping and some truly top drawer performances from several of the main characters.

Sure it's been previously brought up here, but anyone a fan of Succession?
Finished the second season a couple of weeks ago and think it's up there with some of the best TV I've seen.
More recently, The Last Dance is comfortable the best sports doc I've seen, and Unorthodox is very good.

Unorthodox: (Netflix) Girl tries to escape her Ultra-Orthodox Jewish life. I thought I had it rough growing up in a strict Christian sect. This young lead actress has a big future. [Watch: Yes/No] - YES
ZeroZeroZero: (Amazon) Drug deal between people in Mexico and Italy goes all wrong. It’s sort of like Narcos with scenes set in Italy and elsewhere, without the law enforcement angle. [Yes/No] - Yes
The Pharmacist: (Netflix) Interesting true story about the opioid crisis in the US. It’s taken a backseat to the current pandemic, but the opioid epidemic here is still a thing. [Yes/No] - Yeah, but like with almost all these Netflix crime documentaries it could’ve been cut at least in half to streamline the narrative.
Much of the above viewing is not always light-hearted or suited for the kiddos. Also expect a lot of subtitles on the first two.

Yep it's fantastic. Gets better and better. Tom and Greg's relationship is so good.
You can't make a Tomlette without cracking a few Gregs.
Need your help again Please!
Have watched about 6 series of Spooks after someone on this thread recommended it but fancy a break so need your reccomendations again!
Shows I've liked: Spooks, Body Guard, Line of Duty, Luther (apart from the last 2 series) the Purge series on Amazon, Slasher.
Also in a different genre the F1 Drive to Survive on Netflix was excellent and SAS who dares wins with Ant Middleton and co. Also Derren Brown but unfortunately seen all his stuff.
So need some new shows. Preferably British. Hate over the top/ silly. Fine with gore or horror. Want something so gripping you instantly want to watch the next episode.
Relying on your help again as the Spooks recommendation from here was helpful and much utilised
Also really enjoying Defending Jacob but have fully caught up and waiting for the next episode

Peaky Blinders is definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it already.
If you like sporting documentaries the Last Dance on Netflix is meant to be excellent.
The All or Nothing series on Amazon Prime is great too, all the NFL ones have been really good watches.

Tonight!
Anyone finish The Coroner yet? I'm really struggling, finding some of the acting and script quite poor. It's 6.7 on IMDb, looks about right. It's amazing how these kind of series get renewed and brilliant ones get cancelled.
What's the show about? I need a new tv show to watch.
Same. Totally agree.
Was recently rewatching Extras with Ricky Gervais. If anybody has mastered the art of observational comedy better than him, I would like to know. The comedic timing between him and Ashley Jensen is near perfect. She plays her role brilliantly.
One of the funniest series on TV.

It's a comedy that's filmed documentary style about some vampires living together in Staten Island. Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi (who starred in the original movie, also very good) are involved in the production etc.

Just finished Home Before Dark.
Good watch.
Only thing for me is I always find journalists to have an inflated sense of self-importance, and this film perpetuates that quite a bit.
Still, I quite like the show.
Ooh didnt realise it was the finale! Just about to start a film may have to stay up and watch it after!
Still as gripped by it have finally watched You liked the first season but struggling with the 2nd However Defending Jacob every episode has been gripping
I cant remember how to do spoilers would be interested to know if you think he did it or not
I’ve just started it! I’ll let you know.
Finishing Peaky Blinders. Seasons 1, 2 and 4 were good. 3 was all over the place. I'm really struggling with 5.
